As we go out into the world, Jesus calls on us to be His witnesses. In this message, Pastor John uses the letters in the word WITNESS to help us remember how to sow seeds for the gospel.

The Great Commission that Jesus has given to His followers starts with the word “Go.” The Father’s intention is for the whole world to know about Jesus and the salvation He provides. His solution is to use ordinary people like you and me to spread the word.

On a hot day at noon, Jesus met a woman who deep inside had hidden hurts – things that were said to her in private that she would never say in public; secret sins – embarrassing things she had done and regretted; deep-down dreams that appeared only in her mind and heart and with each passing year seemed like they would never turn into reality. She was a dry, thirsty person inside – but on the outside she wore it fairly well. In this passage, we learn that Jesus wants to put us in touch with our thirst.

We know the saying, “Money can’t buy happiness,” but we live differently. In His teaching on worry and anxiety, Jesus shows that money and things don’t buy happiness - they buy worry.

Children may dream of growing up and being out on their own, but the reality is that we need others. We weren’t meant to live in isolation, but to live in intimate fellowship.

As children, we all have positive dreams for our future. We say, “When I grow up… fill in the blank.” We dream about careers – what kind of job we will have. We dream about what our family will be like – marriage, kids of our own. We dream about how we will make a living and how we will live. In this message, we’ll see that without the proper dreams and purpose, life will seem tiresome, unfulfilling, and uncontrollable.

The epilogue – the “after story” - is always an interesting part of the story. How did their life turn out? What impact did their words or work or sacrifice ultimately have on those around them? In this message, we look at the impact Jesus had on His followers as strong evidence of His claim to be the Son of God.

The sixth piece of evidence left by Jesus declaring that He is the Son of God is the uberevidence. The chief of all the evidence that Jesus is God is the “missing evidence” - the empty tomb, the missing body, the physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus from death.

Crime scene investigators can unearth lots of clues from the way a victim dies to understand the time of death, the cause of death, the relationship between the victim and killer, the motive, and the mindset of the victim as he died. In this message, Pastor John looks at the “postmortem” evidence of Jesus’ claim to divinity. His death actually provides very convincing evidence of His identity.

Innocent people sometimes need alibis when they are wrongfully accused or their actions are misunderstood. They need someone to vouch for their actions, whereabouts, or identity. As we continue our look at pieces of evidence that support Jesus’ claims that he was the Son of God and innocent of doing any of the wrong things he was accused of, today we investigate at the alibi evidence.
