John 14:25-31 

Jesus gives His people lasting peace, joy, and faith, even in the midst of life's troubles. These gifts are rooted in His perfect love and obedience to the Father. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 14:15-24 

Jesus promises not to leave his people as orphans, but to make himself known to them through the Holy Spirit. As we grow in faith, love, and obedience to Christ, we come to know him and his love more deeply. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 14:1-14 

Faith in Christ is the remedy for the troubled heart. Jesus comforts His people with the promise of heaven, the assurance that He is the only way to the Father, and the confidence that He continues to work through and provide for His people. 

Jon Runyan

John 13:31-38 

Jesus prepares his disciples to walk without his physical presence, showing them the glory of the cross, the call to love like Christ, and the security of his hold on them. 

Pastor Jacob Ackerman

John 13:21-30 

Jesus loved Judas to the end, yet Judas received the bread without receiving the love it represented and walked into the darkness. His betrayal warns us to examine our hearts, remain in the light, and depend upon the grace of Christ to keep us faithful. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 13:1-20 

In washing his disciples' feet, Jesus displays the humble, self-giving love that would be seen most fully at the cross. Having been loved and served by the lowly Jesus, Christians are called to echo his grace by serving others. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 12:37-50 

John closes Jesus' public ministry with a summary of unbelief and a summary of his preaching: many rejected him despite the signs, and some would not confess him for fear of man. Jesus declares that he is the light and that his words are the Father';s words, bringing eternal life to all who believe. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 12:20-36 

Like a grain of wheat that dies and bears much fruit, Jesus' death brings a great harvest. Through the cross, God is glorified, sinners are forgiven, Satan is disarmed, and people from every nation are brought to Christ. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 12: 12-19 

Jesus is the Christ King who has come to bring peace. He brings that peace through his rejection, suffering, and death, making peace between sinful humanity and God. 

Pastor Daniel Ackerman

John 12:1-11 

Mary’s extravagant worship, Judas’s love of money, and Lazarus’s costly identification with Jesus reveal that our devotion reflects what we believe Jesus is worth.
