The Supernatural: Why Does It Matter? 
August 6 – September 2, 2023 This World is Not All There Is! 
John 1:1-5 Theme for 2023: Why Does It Matter? SUMMER 2023: Eternity: Why Does It Matter? AUGUST 2023: The Supernatural: Why Does It Matter? The Supernatural: The Holy Spirit of God at work in this world! The Gospel of John Matthew, Mark, and Luke write like kayakers on a fairly swift flowing river with occasional patches of whitewater; there is never any doubt but that they are going where the course of the river takes them. But John is more like a canoe on a quiet lake, drifting unhurried, paddling leisurely to take in aspects of the shoreline, noticing rock formations, observing a blue heron fishing in the rushes, pausing and drifting to sketch cloud patterns reflected in the glassy water. 
-Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays in The Thousand Places John’s Prologue: John presents Jesus in terms of space, time, and being in the introduction to his Gospel. LOGOS – Jesus is the Word of God! LIFE - Jesus is The Life! LIGHT – Jesus is the Light of the World
