Jesus promised that He had come so that we might have abundant lives. But sometimes distractions can make us lose out on what we could be having in our relationship with Him. As we conclude our study of the gospel of John, Julie Coleman looks at four distractions in chapter 21 that could get in the way of the abundant life. Where is your focus?

Steve Coleman continues our study of John’s gospel. John 20 brings us to the resurrection of Jesus. You would think the resurrection would be his main focus, but you would be wrong! As John begins to bring his book to a close (chapters 20 & 21), he presents us with his primary message. Listen to find out what John thinks is so important.

Jesus has completed his mission and offered up his life on the cross. This week’s text covers the often-overlooked events between his death and his resurrection. Listen as Steve Coleman reveals fulfillment of prophecy and a surprising bonus.

Golgotha was his dais, the cross his throne, he was crowned with thorns and in three languages a banner proclaimed his royalty. This was not the king or kingdom the disciples -- let alone the people of Jerusalem and the Diaspora -- had expected nor even wanted. Yet this was not another tawdry defeat of some misguided Messiah figure. This seeming tragedy was God's ultimate triumph over corruption and its endgame, death itself. Listen as Joanne and Mari Hagemeyer team teach about Jesus' crucifixion.

Steve Coleman reflects on the three parties involved in the trial of Jesus -  the Jewish leadership, Pilate, and Jesus. The events in this section are some of the darkest in the Bible but there is a nugget of truth that John has included to help us deal with the reality of facing uncomfortable and painful situations.

Jesus once warned 'But whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.' Have you ever worried that if your life was threatened, you could well deny Jesus? This week we will see Peter failing Jesus big time, denying he even knew Him. Three times! We will also see the grace of God at work through the terrible events leading up to the cross. Listen as Julie Coleman reminds us that there is hope in every bit of this story. Don’t miss some new insights that will equip you for faithfulness!

Have you ever read the story of the Miller’s Daughter? She faced an impossible challenge and only a miracle would save her life—and it came in the person of Rumpelstiltskin! In a way, the disciples were facing an impossible challenge as well, and they had no idea how they would cope. Listen as Joanne Hagemeyer reveals that what God had in mind went far beyond their wildest dreams.

In the last ‘I am’ statement Jesus declares that he is the True Vine. Listen as Julie Coleman shares Jesus’ words that empower and encourage his disciples and us for what is ahead.

Do you sometimes feel alone and wonder where God is in your life? Listen as Dr. Bill Smith shares some good news, in fact, the best news.
