Pastor Matt began a 10-week series on the Gospel of John, focusing on John 1:1-34 and Jesus as "the Lamb of God." He explained that John establishes Jesus as eternal God in the opening verses, then connects John the Baptist's declaration of Jesus as "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29) to Old Testament sacrificial imagery. Pastor Matt emphasized that our greatest problem isn't our circumstances but our sin, and that salvation through Jesus is received as a gift, not achieved through works.
