John 13:21-35 | A New Commandment

John 13:34-35

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

The COMMAND of Christ
The EXAMPLE of Christ
The POWER of Christ
The PROMISE of Christ

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

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

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.”

Colossians 3:1-10 | Baptism Service

Baptism is about being united with Jesus in his death and resurrection

We explore two parts to baptism:

#1 Being buried and raised with Christ.

#2 Discarding the old identity and putting on the new.

Psalm 96

Psalms 96 | Psalms of Winter

Psalm 96 shows us how worshiping of our God should look like and how idols can prevent us from experiencing God fully.

John 12:27-33 | Why Is He determined?

Why is he determined?

#1 It is why he came.

#2 It is why he came to glorify the Father.

#3 It is why he came To glorify the Father to defeat satan.

#4 It is why he came To glorify the Father to defeat satan To draw people to himself.

John 12:9-26 | The Cross Before the Crown

John 12:9-26

There is no crown without a cross. Jesus did not arrive as other kings, with pomp and ceremony, but Jesus came to earth not so that he would rule, but so that he would die. While the crowd in Jerusalem is anticipating who Jesus is and welcoming Him as King, Jesus affirmed his Lordship, while also humbling himself on a donkey. Jesus came not to overthrow Rome, but death! The time has come!

John 12:1-8 | Is He Worth It?

John 12:1-8

Mary’s act of devotion gives us an example to follow. Her worship is:

• Courageous

• Humble

• Whole-hearted

• Costly

Stand Alone - Psalm 23 - My Shepherd

Psalm 23 - The Lord is my Shepherd
Armed, Dangerous and with me

The sheep, the children of God, follow him wherever he leads them.

What security is there in his grip to protect his sheep from perishing, and provide them green pasture and eternal life.

Two questions this raises are: Where is he leading? And how can we be sure of his grip, that he will not let go?

John 11:45–57 | The Self-Substitution of God

John 11:45–57

#1:  THE CONUNDRUM JESUS PRESENTS (v.45-48)

#2: THE SOLUTION GOD PROVIDED (v.49-57)

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:

1. The situation;

2. The plan;

3. The confusion;

4. 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

John 10:31-42 | I And The Father Are One

John 10:31-42

In John 10:30, Jesus proclaims to the Jews, "I and the Father are one". Today's bible verses explicitly represent the Trinity and the three principles:

1. There is only one God

2. The three persons are not each other

3. The three persons are all God

In John 10:37-38, Jesus further states,

37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me;

38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

John 10:19-30 | Assurance

John 10:19 - 30

Today we are continuing in John 10 and expand on how God has given us eternal life and we shall not perish by following our good shepherd Jesus.

#1 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (v.27)

#2 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. I and the Father are one.”  (v.28 -30)

John 10:10-18 | The Good Shepherd Part 2

John 10:10-18

Do you know what it is like to aimlessly follow someone? That is not what it is like when we follow Jesus, the good shepherd. He has made His agenda know to us. Today Mike takes us through the agenda of the Good Shepherd:

#1 He’s taking his sheep into life (v.10)

#2 He's on his way to get other sheep (v.16)

#3 He's on his way to lay down his life (v.11, 14-18)

John 10:1-9 | The Good Shepherd

John 10:1-9

“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 9:4-41 | The Works of God Displayed

John 9:4– 41

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” - Rom 8:28

In the rest of the passage we’re exploring how God in person Jesus saved the blind man.

The works of God:

#1  Physical healing

#2 Unshackling from false spiritual authorities
#3 Personal salvation
