John 13:1-20 | NO SERVANT ABOVE HIS MASTER
John 13:1-20 | NO SERVANT ABOVE HIS MASTER
Today’s passage is from John 13 ps Mike emphasizes what life of following Jesus looks like. At times we can misshape the gospel for dominant and popular cultures of this world. We are ought to live differently and in service others rather than living for one self. Be Christlike.
John 12:44-13:11 | Unless I Wash You
John 12:27-33 | why is he determined?
Today’s passage is from John 12 and 13, where Jesus reminds the apostles of three things:
We are loved by Him until the end.
Even though he is King of all mankind, He also serves with humility.
We must be washed by Him in order to receive eternal life.
John 12:31-36 | Believe in the Light
John 12:27-33 | why is he determined?
In the final days of Jesus’s life on Earth, His call to the people in Jerusalem becomes more urgent and more demanding.
Our passage today comes from John 12:31-36, where Jesus appeals to the people:
35 “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”

John 11:25–44 | The God Who Raises the Dead
John 11:25–44
In this powerful passage, Pastor Matt reminds us that Jesus does not merely speak of resurrection—He is the Resurrection and the Life.
The raising of Lazarus is no isolated wonder, but a signpost pointing to the greater glory of the cross. Here, we see the sovereign God who ordains all things not as distant or detached, but as deeply moved—Jesus wept.
The Lord of life enters into our grief, not to explain it away, but to bear it Himself. God’s sovereignty and love are not rivals—they are married at the tomb of Lazarus and consummated at the cross.
Just as Lazarus was called forth from the grave, so too are we—dead in sin but made alive in Christ. This is the miracle of grace: resurrection life now and forever.
Are you still trying to raise yourself? There is only One who holds authority over death. Come to Jesus—and live.
John 11:1-27 | I am the Resurrection and the Life
John 11:1-27
This week in John 11 we look at the incredible events surrounding the death and resurrection of Lazarus. Through God’s word, we see:
The situation;
The plan;
The confusion;
The resurrection and the life.
“I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25

“The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.” - John 10:1-9
This week we look at the contrast between a thief and a robber and a good shepherd. We are to enter the sheepfold by the door, guided, fed and protected by the Good Shepherd. The relevance of the thief and the robber is as true today as it was in the days of Jesus. These may be those who deliberately lead others from God as well as those who are false teachers. We are to know His voice - that of the Good Shepherd - and heed His call.

John 9:1– 3
As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
Jesus answered, “It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.

John 8:31-59 | Who’s Your Daddy?
In the book of John, Jesus declares himself by many names. This week we look at Jesus’ declaration, “I am Light of the World”. Jesus, and only Jesus, can lead us into the light and away from darkness.
Who’s Your Daddy — John 8:31–59
Ps Matt takes us through "one of his favourite" chapters in the bible, John chapter 8. Jesus talks with those following him, including the Jews who believed in him, about the one and only truth and the freedom it gives. Are they children of God or are they following someone else? Are you heading the warnings Jesus is giving to his followers?
#1 Turning his disciples away (v.31-32)
#2 “Fatherhood” (v.33-41)
#3 The fangs come out (v.41-59)
#4 The significance of the difference
#5 Hear the warning
#6 Believe his word

Clarity #2 - Discipleship (John 15:1-5)
Clarity #2
This week we explore what it means to be a disciple of Christ - that all those who become Christians become Disciples. That all discipleship is - or should be - Gospel-centred.
There are two steps to the Christian life, to believe in Him, and to abide in Him.
We also look at the two parts to Gospel discipleship - the Gospel shape and the Gospel power, that the commands of God, are rooted in the Gospel of Christ.
