Chaplain Jeff Adams

Although it is hugely beneficial to read all accounts in the Gospels, for the sake of time, Pastor Adams stays in John for this text. There is much here for practical application. May it bless you & the Lord!

Complexities & conflicts are in this short passage, yet there is much to be learned. Let this motivate you to prepare so that you are not as easily manipulated in our modern world of social engineering.

In mere hours He will be tortured & killed. In the continued conversation in the dark with His 11 remaining Apostles, Jesus has a very intimate & insightful prayer with His Father. We can learn much if we pay careful attention. He will be glorified if we are willing to change to be more like He wants us to be.

In an intense conversation with His 11 remaining Apostles, Jesus reassures & comforts them with very real & practical information.

Facts are facts, even if they're uncomfortable. Jesus makes it clear His followers will be hated & persecuted.

Jesus continues His teachings as He moves along with His 11 disciples. He wisely pulls no punches as He implores them (& us) to do the most important thing.

Brace yourself. It is highly unlikely you have heard this before. However, you likely need to hear it, as do many people you know. John 15 is a beautiful passage which is highly theological & practical. Learn something new, let it encourage you!

As Jesus wraps up His upper room discourse, He sets clear expectations, & introduces a dynamic the disciples will understand more about, later - a subject which when mishandled will damage, divide, & confuse people many centuries later. He intends to comfort them in this moment, & it likely does. Unbeknownst to the disciples & most readers, this passage prefaces one of the most powerful & beautiful messages in all of the Gospel of John.

Is it okay to pray directly to Jesus? Can miracles happen, today, through prayer? What about God's will? Read, listen, & learn the answers to these & other questions, in this part of Pastor Adams' message in the series through the Gospel of John.

The bumper sticker we see as COEXIST is quite trendy & seems moral, but is it Biblical? Is it based on truth or politics? What about people who have never heard of Jesus - aren't they saved, automatically? These and other questions are answered in our text. Get your highlighter out. There's a verse you might want to pay close attention to...
