John 18:15-27 "Roosters and Reflections"

Message: John 18:15-27

While Jesus is on trial, his disciple Peter is tested as well. Peter struggles with revealing his true identity while Jesus refuses to be anything but who he is. In this passage we will learn about living out of our true self that is founded in God. This will take reflection. God gives us rooster crows in life that are opportunities to look at who we are and to consider whether or not we are operating out of our identity in him.

John 18:1-14 “Where He Leads Me”

Message: John 18:1-14 “Where He Leads Me”

As we move into chapter 18 of John’s Gospel, we see Jesus embracing God’s plan for his life. The plan includes some very difficult experiences, but Christ chooses to accept the bad with the good and trust the Father for the ultimate outcome. The same can’t be said for Judas and Peter, one who will have a poor ending while the other will ultimately learn to trust through this life experience. This trust will ultimately lead to complete redemption.

John 17:20-26 “Bridge Builders”

Message: John 17:20-26 “Bridge Builders”

When I was a kid and harboring on something too long, my father was known to say, “Build a Bridge and Get Over It.” What stands in the gulf between us and unity with others? As Jesus prays for the unity of all believers, we are called to be Bridge Builders. In fact, it is the defining mark of a genuine disciple of Jesus.

John 17: 6-19 “In the World, Not of the World”

Message: John 17: 6-19 “In the World, Not of theWorld”

In this message we’ll see Jesus’ intimate prayer to the Father, for the disciples. He is leaving the world, but they will remain in the world. Jesus asks the Father to watch over the disciples, that they do not get pulled back into the world. Instead, they are to be ‘set apart’ and ‘unified’ that they may glorify God in the world.
