18 MAY 2026 · Jesus concludes this lengthy teaching by commanding them to take courage and be of good cheer. How can they do that? How can we do that? Because the Father himself loves us and because Jesus has overcome the world!
10 MAY 2026 · Jesus uses the pain of childbirth to help His disciples understand the sorrow and the joy that will follow. He is hours away from being crucified and weeks from returning to heaven. They will be sorrowful at both events but their sorrow will turn to joy because of His resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit.
3 MAY 2026 · Jesus is preparing the disciples for His departure. He's preparing them for ministry – bearing fruit. He's preparing them for community – love one another. He's preparing them for the response of unbelievers – prepare to be hated.
He encourages them with the promise of the coming of the Holy Spirit. The "Helper" will come from heaven and aid Jesus' followers in our mission.
John 15:26-27 (ESV) “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.”
26 APR 2026 · Jesus is preparing His disciples for His departure. He's preparing them for ministry – bearing fruit. Preparing them for community and leadership – love one another. Preparing them for the response of unbelievers – prepare to be hated! As Paul wrote, All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. The history of the church beginning in Acts is a story of persecution and hatred by the world. Why do they hate us and what do we do in response?
19 APR 2026 · Jesus spoke about love more than any other topic or doctrine. What is the greatest commandment? Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. In John 15, Jesus tells us to love other Christians even more than we love ourselves. Jesus commands His followers to love one another in the same way that He loves us.
12 APR 2026 · As Christians we are called to bear spiritual fruit for Jesus' kingdom. This may seem like a hurculean task, but Jesus says that we can bear a lot of fruit for Him if we will abide in Him. He is the Vine providing all the spiritual nutrients that we need and the Father is the Vindedresser who prunes us to make us even more fruitful. Our role is to ask, abide, and live like Jesus. By His grace we can do it. Apart from Him we can do nothing.
5 APR 2026 · On of my favoite Easter songs is Because He lives by Gloria and Bill Gaither. The song proclaims that because Jesus lives, believers can face the future without fear, knowing He holds their future and that life is worth living. Verse 1 says, "God sent His son, They called Him, Jesus; He came to love, Heal and forgive; He lived and died To buy my pardon, An empty grave is there To prove my Savior lives!" The empty tomb is part of the evidence that Jesus is truly risen from the dead.
29 MAR 2026 · Christianity - A strange religion to the rest of the world. Your leader and founder killed as a criminal. Easter – a strange holiday – celebrating the death of the Savior. Why is it called "Good Friday" when it seems like one of the worst days in history?
1 Corinthians 1:18, 23-24 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
What sounds like foolishness is actually God's wisdom. What appeared to be weakness was actually God's power. What looked like defeat was actually victory.
22 MAR 2026 · Jesus gives His followers hopeful and helpful promises:
All who come to me I will never ever cast out.
I will never leave or forsake you.
And here, in John 14, "I Will Not Leave You As Orphans. I will come to you."
The promise of the Holy Spirit is the very presence of God in our lives.
15 MAR 2026 · Jesus is leaving. He's returning to heaven. He’s preparing His disciples for life after His departure and for what is about to happen. One of you will betray Me. Peter will deny me. Where I am going you cannot go now. Troubling. Discouraging. Confusing. Jesus speaks words of comfort and explains why His leaving is a good thing.
