< BACK TO ALL

John 15:1–17 | Jesus repeatedly tells His disciples to abide in Him. Today, Jesus continually invites us to abide in Him. But how do we practically abide? What does an abiding walk with Christ look like? What does an abiding walk with Christ produce? These are questions we dive into this week as we seek to grow at loving God and loving others. The key element to this love is that we would abide in Christ.

John 17:1–26 | In John 17, we see Jesus praying. Through his prayer, we get to see his heart displayed. Christ is intending for his ministry to bring God glory, he is desiring that his people keep his Word, and he requests that God make us all one. This week we learn about the unity that comes with being in Christ.

John 14:1–31 | For roughly three years the disciples followed Jesus wherever He went. Now Jesus tells them He is going somewhere they cannot go. This is troubling to them, and we can understand why. They left everything to follow Him, now He is leaving? Knowing their hearts were troubled, Jesus brings before their eyes five truths that can untrouble the most troubled hearts. We dive into these this week as anchors to cling to when our hearts are troubled, as well.

John 13:1–17 | Jesus did something absolutely shocking at a dinner with His disciples. It was a radical act of love, but one that He called them to make normal in their lives as followers of Him. Jesus took the place as the lowest servant, and He calls our lives to the same thing. This is counterintuitive to the wisdom of the world and grates against the way of the flesh, and yet Jesus says blessed are we if we follow Him in this.

John 11:1–54 | Jesus does something surprising. He waits for a beloved friend to die so that all can see that He is the resurrection and the life. What we see in John 11 is the most powerful spiritual reality we must come to terms with, culminating in a question we all have to answer, "Do you believe this?" So we look to hear what Jesus has to say and see what he has to display as The Resurrection and the Life.

John 8:12–59 |  Have a spiritual conversation with someone and ask them questions like this:

"What does it mean to seek the light?"

"What is eternal life?"

"What is truth?"

Answers will range wildly with all sorts of ideas, opinions, and theories. The beauty is, though, if we want to know what light, life, and truth look like, we need only to look to Christ. In this teaching, Jesus shows us that He is the light, life, truth, and then definitively declares He is God! To know these truths and live in light of these truths has massive implications in our lives.

John 7:53–8:11 | What really is so amazing about grace? When we see our sin for what it is, and we see His love for us in the face of our sin, we truly will be amazed by grace. This week, we look at a story of Jesus's grace lavished on a woman caught in her sin. What does the grace of God look like personally applied to us in the face of our fallenness? We find out together in this passage.

John 6:1-71 | Talk about the best object lesson in the history of the world, Jesus fed over 5,000 people and then used it to teach us who He is as the bread of life. In His teaching, we find five truths that apply to us when we believe in Him as the bread of life. These truths will lead you to be saved if you don't know Christ, can lead you to know that you are saved if you are wrestling with that, or will simply drive your rest in Jesus and worship of Jesus to an even deeper place.

John 5:1-24 | In John 5, we see another sign that points to the authority and divinity of Jesus as He heals a man on the Sabbath. According to Jewish law, though, a mere man did not have the authority to do this work on the Lord’s day. But Jesus isn’t just any man… He is the Lord Himself. This week, we learn about a miracle Jesus performed that shows that He is one with His Father, the Giver of eternal life.

John 4:43-54 | When was the last time you came to Jesus with a desperate request? I mean desperate ... when there was no hope unless Jesus was to intervene. This is where we find a dad before Jesus in this story. Jesus is going to do something miraculous in this man's son to accomplish something even more miraculous in the whole family's hearts. We, in full faith, are believing Jesus to do the same in us through this story this week.

John 4:1-42 | How does someone known in their town as a sinful social outcast get transformed in one day to be used by God as a catalyst for revival? Answer: She met Jesus. Our look at the story of the woman at the well will bring our hearts to deeper worship of Jesus, which will overflow in a life of passionately witnessing to others about Him.

John 3:1-21 | You must be born again to see the Kingdom of God. That's it. There is no more important truth in your life than this.  You must be born again. So how do we know if we are born again? And if we aren't, how is one born again? This is the most important truth to have settled in your soul.

John 2:1-11 | John tells us his purpose for writing his gospel: that we would see Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing, we would have life in His name. We look this week at the first of these signs Jesus performed at a wedding in Cana. The sign itself is amazing enough, but then when we see why Jesus performed this first, it will lead our hearts to a deeper place of faith and worship.
