Changeless

Pastor Ryan reflects on the Israelites’ journey out of Egypt and how it reminded them of God’s past deliverance, gave them reasons to praise Him, and pointed to promises still to come. In the same way, it shows us what we need for our daily journey—reminders of God’s faithfulness, a heart ready to worship, and confidence in the future He has promised through Christ. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofExodus #JourneyWithGod

Does it ever seem like God is taking his "own sweet time"? Do you ever pray for God to help you, and it seemingly gets worse?? How do you deal with it when this happens to you? Pastor Clark addresses this subject as we begin the book of Exodus in our two-year read through the Bible! #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofExodus #StoryofMoses #PassoverLamb #TrustGodsTiming

Pastor Chris Ryan points to the life of Joseph as a powerful reminder that we are Christ’s ambassadors wherever God places us. Even when circumstances are difficult or we fall short, God is with us, offering forgiveness through Jesus and using us to reflect His grace to others. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofGenesis #JosephsStory #FaithInEverySeason

Have you ever been called controlling? Why do we try to control so many things in our lives? It's because of fear! Is there a better way of dealing with fear and the need to control? Pastor Clark uses the story of Jacob and Esau to show how control never leads to anything good and a how to respond in a godly and wise way. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofGenesis  #GodIsInControl

Kind of like a reminder on a smartwatch, God patiently reminds us of His promises when we forget or doubt. From Abraham to the cross, Scripture shows that God is a promise-making, promise-keeping God, and when we forget, we’re called to look to the cross and say, “Amen—yes, yes, it shall be so.” #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofGenesis #PromiseKeeper

For 37 chapters Job and his friends argued over why bad things were happening to Job. In the end, God speaks, showing both His wisdom and man's foolishness.  #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofJob #WereYouThere

A dramatic Jeopardy upset and Job’s life of loss are paired to show that true victory comes from answering one essential question about hope beyond suffering and death. The message highlights a living kinsman redeemer—Jesus—as the source of redemption, restoration, and lasting faith. #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofJob #HopeinSuffering #KinsmanRedeemer

On our journey through the Bible, we come upon the book of Job. Job was a man who had everything and then lost everything. His friends came to comfort him, but after a good start, they failed miserably. What can we learn about grief and how to comfort someone going through it from this difficult book? #StJohnsBuffalo #CovertoCoverBible #BookofJob #HopeinHardTimes #WordsMatter

From childhood road trips and Where’s Waldo to Noah’s Ark, this message invites listeners to look closer and discover Jesus hidden in plain sight throughout Scripture. The flood story reveals Christ as the Door, the Water, and the Mountain—the only way to salvation, the One who washes us clean, and the curse-reverser who gives new beginnings. #stjohnsbuffalomn #covertocoverbible #noahsark #genesis #hiddeninplainsight

Do the first few chapters of Genesis really matter? Not only do they matter; they are foundational to the rest of the Bible and to how we look at the world around us! Grab your Bible and join us as we begin our two year sermon series "cover to cover" and turn to the very beginning, the book of Genesis.
