The Lord’s Other Prayer
In John 17, Jesus prays what is probably his most powerful prayer in all of scripture. While perhaps less known than the model prayer He teaches his disciples when they ask him — the prayer we often call the “Lord’s Prayer” — the prayer he prays here is far more personal, and powerful even than that! This morning, we look at John 17:1-5,…
Joy from Sorrow
Sometimes what looks like defeat can actually be victory, and what appears to be a victory may be a defeat. But how do we respond when we don’t see the full picture, and can we always see the difference? Jesus was “a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief”. In John 16:16-22, we look at how he prepared his disciples for the grief and sorrow that they would experience…
Haters Gonna Hate
In the gospels, Jesus makes many good promises to his people. The promise that we will be hated and persecuted is perhaps one we’d prefer wasn’t there! In John 15:18-6:4, Jesus reminds his disciples that following him will set them at odds with the world. But why does he tell them this, and what can we learn from it? Is there really any value or benefit in…
The Vine and the Branches
Jesus used many agricultural parables and pictures to help people understand his message. In John 15:1-11, John records for us one of these parables — the picture of the vine, and the branches. But in a world increasingly disconnected from the land, do we understand this picture? Do we recognize the powerful significance of this image? We look at this teaching, and think…
The Promised Comforter
In John 14:15-31 Jesus promises that his people will receive the Holy Spirit in detail for the first time. When he does, the things he says about who the Holy Spirit is, and what He will do in their lives that may surprise us, given our assumptions and preconceptions many may have about this, What does that mean for us as believers, and how do we live in the light of…
Greater Works Than Jesus: The Power Source
The desire for power and significance is a near universal human trait, Many people seek to find a source of power and influence, but power can also easily corrupt. In John 14:8-14, Jesus describes power in a very different way, and tells his disciples something that can be hard for us to eve wrap our minds around — that not only do his followers have access to the…
Lost and Found: The Way, The Truth, and The Life
As Jesus continues to teach his disciples during their last days together on earth, he continues to prepare them for his imminent death, and the trials that are to come.In doing so, he proclaims to be The Way, The Truth, and The Life — making an exclusive claim for all who are lost. He claims to be…
The Betrayer and the Beloved
How do we respond to betrayal? Where do we turn when people turn on us? In John 13:21-30 Jesus is confronted with his imminant betrayal by his friend Judas. How did Jesus walk with Judas for so long knowing he was going to turn on him? How did he respond when the hour came? Why didn’t the other disciples realize he was never truly one of them? We look at this passage, and…
The Servant King
In John 13:1-17, Jesus has just been welcomed in to Jerusalem as King. And yet, instead of basking in the glory of the people, he withdraws to be woth those closest to him.And one of his first acts is to wash their feet.What does this mean? For them, and for us, what do we learn from this powerful example of servanthood and humble loving care for his people?
The Theology of Unbelief
What do we put our faith in? What is the cause of both belief, and unbelief? How much patience can we have with someone who fails to see what seems so clear and obvious to us? In John 12:36-43, Jesus addresses the heart and root cause of unbelief, explaining why some will not believe, in spite of all of the compelling evidence they have given us, and in doing so, helps us…
