Bo Noonan teaches through John 13:21-38 in our Upper Room series. This week we see the love of Jesus on display as we move ever closer to Jesus' willing sacrifice of his life. "Right now you cannot follow me" he tells his disciples. Follow him where? Into the darkness of death...a darkness that would soon be overcome to bring about eternal light. Jesus was in the process of making a way, not only for his disciples, but for all humankind, to follow him into a restored relationship with the Father.

Bo Noonan teaches from John 13:1-20 as we kick off our new series: The Upper Room - Words of Life from Jesus. This series will take us through the last meal Jesus had with his disciples and his farewell discourse to them. The depth of teaching, significance, and love that is displayed in this scene is magnificent. In part one, we see Jesus show what it means to be a part of, and to lead in, his kingdom, as he stoops to the lowest place of indignity to serve his friends by washing their feet.

Abi Soveriegn teaches from Psalm 96. She encourages us with the call in this Psalm to sing out loud to the Lord; laying out the many benefits of lifting our voices to him. She then walks us through the truth that there is nothing on earth worth giving ourselves to other than the him. Everything else pales in comparison.

Senator Scott teaches from Psalms 130 and 131, where we see two songs that were sung on the way to the city of Jerusalem. In ancient times this could be a perilous journey full of fear and anxiousness. As these Psalms were sung, they would remind the singers to look to the Lord in the midst of fearful and anxious situations because he would surely hold them, even in the midst of difficulty. The same is true for us today as we look to our trustworthy and sure Father.

Andy Johnson teaches from Psalm 107, where we see a Psalm structured in a way that helps us see the beauty and strength of trusting in the Lord. We see a beautiful reminder that even the most dire circumstances can change when the Lord intervenes.
