Is Jesus the Christ? | Common Presuppositions and Worldviews to Tackle Before Sharing the Gospel

By: Jay Underwood Aug 19, 2025

On Sunday, Pastor Jay examined John 7:40-52, where we see how different groups of people view Jesus. Why does it matter how someone views Jesus? The theme verse of the gospel of John says, "but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). We see from Scripture that who someone believes Jesus to be has everything to do with their eternal state. Pastor Jay challenged us in this sermon to use that question about who someone believes Jesus to be as an opportunity to share the gospel. By understanding someone’s worldview, we can better know how to share the gospel. Our closest relationships can be impacted by examining how Jesus is viewed and taking the next steps to lovingly challenge any presuppositions on the way to sharing the gospel.

Bless God by Your Obedience

Apr 3, 2024

Is it wrong to ask God to bless us? No. However, should we be a little more concerned about blessing God? In Sunday’s text we heard Peter’s words, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Pet. 1:3).” Peter is pronouncing a blessing on God because He deserves to be blessed. How, then should we bless the Lord?
