A Kind and Powerful Jesus

Summary

Pastor Joe Holder reflects on John 1:11-13, emphasizing Jesus' ministry to His own people, many of whom rejected Him while others received Him and were given the privilege to become children of God. He explains that becoming sons of God is not about new birth alone but about living faithfully as followers of Christ, empowered by God. The sermon highlights the nature of true belief as evidence of being born of God and calls believers to manifest God's love through their actions. Ultimately, the focus remains on Jesus as the eternal Word and the source of salvation and love.
