Journey to Resurrection: Jesus Restores (John 21)
It may be hard to think about on a day like today, but take time to recall when you have failed someone. To this day it hurts. To this day it stirs emotions you thought had long since been dealt with. But if that person was a true friend, if they really loved you, you can also recall the relief when they offered forgiveness. And if that relationship has been restored, you know the depth of that joy. Today we look at one who failed and was forgiven and restored. A risen Lord Jesus forgives and restores and we are all beneficiaries.WatchNotesDownloadDateTitle

Jesus Prays (John 17)
We get a unique glimpse into the heart of Jesus as we read and consider his prayer in John 17. It is the longest recorded prayer of Jesus. We will examine this “stop” on our Journey to Resurrection and learn from our Lord. How can you and I have a similar focus, especially in times that are uncertain? - Apr 5, 2020Jesus Prays (John 17)

Journey to Resurrection: Jesus Serves (John 13)
In a day of uncertainty, and fear, and shifting realities, we come to a passage that shows how Jesus faced the most difficult days of his life on earth. When one would expect him to be inwardly focused, he served. When one would not blame him for being sullen, he modeled truth. When one would expect him to be longing for attention, he commanded them to love. And he tells us that we are to follow his example. How will we follow Jesus? - Mar 15, 2020Jesus Cares (John 11)
Jesus Cares (John 11)
In a very familiar story we find Jesus caring about the plight of some of his dearest friends. But we also learn that his care goes far beyond the physical and the immediate. While he does perform the most amazing miracle of his earthly ministry, the real lesson comes back to the depth of the faith of any who follow Jesus. More than amazing things, Jesus wants each of us to see and grasp the glory of God.
