John 1:1-18 - That we might be children of God

Dave McCue Season 5 Episode 8

The first sermon of the Gospel of John. An introduction to how the first 18 verses work in a chiasm, and the center point or focal point of that chiasm is, "he gave the right to become children of God." 

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
