Springtime in Colorado often brings with it wind that blows branches off of our trees. Even if you place that branch into a vase of water, the blooms may open and live for a time, but eventually that branch will die. This is a picture of complete dependency on another source for life. What does Jesus mean when He compares himself to a vine and us to branches? What does it mean to abide, or remain, in Him? To abide, or remain, in His love? How do we do this? What is the outcome when we do?   As you prepare for this week’s teaching by reading John 15:1-27 ..read more

Returning to our John study, we will pick up in the second half of chapter 14. Jesus is talking with the 11 remaining disciples (Judas has left to betray Him), giving them words of hope, instruction, and comfort. He promises to send the Holy Spirit, a helper who will teach them and remind them of everything Jesus has said to them. He promises that because He lives, they also will live. He connects obedience to Him with love for Him. All these things Jesus tells His disciples to prepare them for what is to come, so that when everything happens, they will know where Jesus is ..read more

The psalmist pleads; "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me." Paul urges his beloved church to remember the gospel he preached, which they received and upon which they have taken their stand.  While we walk this earth, where can we turn when we get bogged down with the weight of our sin, become discouraged by relentless circumstances, or forget the implications Christ's resurrection has on our every day? The power and love He displayed in securing our future through His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead fuel a joy, s ..read more

John provides more details to the passion week than the synoptic gospels, giving us glimpses into intimate interactions of Jesus. Headed to the cross, Jesus loves his followers to the end and shows them the full extent of that love. He washes feet, he lets them know what to expect, he warns them about their own weaknesses and failings, he prays for them. John provides more details to the passion week than the synoptic gospels, giving us glimpses into intimate interactions of Jesus. Headed to the cross, Jesus loves his followers to the end and shows them the full extent of that l ..read more

In the very first chapter, John says this about Jesus; “In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it…The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:4-5, 9-12) We see this playing out in John 12 – Even after all the evidence J ..read more

Jesus enters Jerusalem to crowds welcoming Him as King. While, His disciples aren’t putting together the timeline or what is happening, Jesus knows where things are headed. Some Greeks from out of town approach Jesus’ disciples with a request to see Him, and he responds with talk of wheat, death, service and glory. Remember John’s purpose in writing this gospel – that we would believe that Jesus is the Christ, and by believing have Life in His name.   Grow in understanding Jesus’ identity and what it means to follow him with us on Sunday as we study John 12:12-36   ..read more

Jesus’ last week is near. After raising Lazarus from the dead He had withdrawn to ‘a region near the desert, to a village called Ephraim, where He stayed with His disciples.’ (John 11:54). Now he arrives in Bethany and attends a dinner with Mary, Martha and Lazarus. The dinner is given to honor Jesus and Mary does so in a remarkably humble and extravagant way by pouring expensive perfume on Jesus’ feet and wiping His feet with her hair.  In Luke 10:39, we see Mary sitting at Jesus’ feet to learn from Him. In John 11:32, we witness Mary falling at Jesus’ feet in grief a ..read more

Jesus’ friend is sick, yet He waits to go and as a result arrives too late to save his life. Lazarus has died and been buried, and the family is grieving. These are close friends; they know what Jesus has done for strangers. He’s performed so many miracles at this point of his ministry, He’s healed many sick, restored sight to the blind and walking to the lame. Why does He delay? We like to tie this passage up in a bow with words of God’s perfect timing and bigger plan. That is absolutely true, but these friends are living in the present and their why is a poignant why ..read more
