Chris Wall • John 1:35-42 Andrew was the first disciple to turn to Jesus. He was quick to tell those closest to him what he had seen and heard. After meeting Jesus, Andrew's eyes were opened to who Jesus really was. Jesus was the living Son of God. His life was so transformed, he immediately brought his brother to meet Jesus. Here is an interesting fact about Andrew: Whenever you find Andrew referenced in John’s gospel, he is bringing someone to Jesus. He brings his brother in this passage...

Chris Wall • John 1:43-51 God is faithful to prepare every heart for His Spirit to work. The work of God is not up tous, hence, it is the work of God.

Chris Wall • John 3:14-36 One question at a time – Lostness is the greatest human problem while faith in Christalone remains the only means to cure that problem. Coming to grips with salvation byfaith is a core biblical teaching. Many today still follow the idea that one can earn theirown way to eternity. Nicodemus was baffled by this news that even he needed to besaved from his sin. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone. Whoever comes will beborn again...

Chris Wall • John 3:1-13 Salvation comes when a person is “Born again”. The principles in this conversation with Nicodemus are clear.
