Hear from members of our congregation how God has revealed Himself to them.

In these four verses, Peter gives us a few things that we should expect if we are Christians. We should expect God, we should expect good, and we should expect difficult.

Chapter three continues the scene from last week. John is using this story to give us insight into why Jesus is a better leader to follow than John the Baptist - or any other leader.

In this section, John the Baptist uses a metaphor of the best man at a wedding to describe his love for Jesus and his joy that Jesus is at work claiming his bride.

Chapter 3 continues with the theme of Jesus making all things new. This section asks, "What does it mean to be born again?"

John tells the story of the cleansing of the temple. This is a story about purification, fulfillment, and a new reality.

Chapter 2 begins with Jesus' first sign at a wedding in Cana. We see that Jesus reveals his glory in three ways: as Lord, through joy, and in marriage.

We all place our trust in something. Is that something for us or against us? The conclusion to the first chapter of John shows us that Jesus is for us.

John gives us another picture of people who encounter Jesus and how their lives are reshaped by him.

If we are to know and follow Jesus, Jesus will make us smaller. Knowing Jesus takes away our control. Knowing Jesus limits our choices. Knowing Jesus redefines our agency.
