Very often, our attempts to Share Jesus devolve into debates and arguments. It doesn’t need to be this way! In today’s message Pastor Dan reminds us that as followers of Christ our primary mission is evangelism (sharing the faith), not apologetics (defending the faith).

Talking about Jesus with others brings certain tensions you’ll have to learn to manage: How close should my relationships be to non-believers? How long should I wait before I bring up faith? How do I keep myself from viewing them as a project, not a person?

In today’s message Pastor Dan explains what not to do as you Share Jesus.

Jesus made many wonderful promises to us during his ministry. But one that is often overlooked is when he said, “In this world you will have trouble.” (John 16:33) Christ was certainly right about that! And yet, Jesus wasn’t really warning us of difficulty, he was promising us victory. We don’t have to feel overwhelmed when the One who has overcome is on our side!

If you read the gospel of John closely, you might notice an interesting quirk: John never refers to himself by name. Rather, he always calls himself "the disciple whom Jesus loved."

In the final message of "On Our Side," pastor Dan explains how John's sense of self changed during his time with Jesus, and how we, too, can step into our God-given identity.

In John 18, Peter denies Jesus three times in order to save himself from arrest and execution. From that moment on Peter believes his decisions have destroyed his destiny. But Jesus is more merciful than we are sinful, and he remains on our side - even after our worst choices!

In John 12 a woman is accused of wasting her money on Jesus. But what the crowd called a waste, Jesus called true worship. Her story is a powerful testimony that no thing and no one is more valuable than Christ.

Is it possible that Jesus’ absence can prove he is On Our Side just as surely as his presence? That seems to be the surprising message behind the resurrection of Lazarus in John 11. If it’s ever felt like God was distant or delayed when you needed Him to show up, today’s message is just what you need to hear!
