Spring Lake Church – Bellevue
Sermon: Stay Connected
Teacher: Jack Guerra
Passages: John 15:1-25

Spring Lake Church Bellevue Campus shares “Stay Connected” with Pastor Jack Guerra from John 15:1-25. Jesus calls us to remain in Him as our true source, remembering that apart from Him we can do nothing. As we stay connected, love is expected, and fruit is produced—even in the face of rejection. Be encouraged to abide in Christ and reflect His love. We’re glad you’re here.

Bill sits down with Pastor Jeff Lederer and Pastor Adam Jackson to go deeper into John 14:15-31 — the same passage they each preached on Sunday, but from two very different angles.

Jeff opens by explaining why he built his sermon around Martin Luther — a man who nearly destroyed himself trying to earn God's love — and unpacks why the order matters: love doesn't come from obedience, obedience comes from love. Adam came at it through the Five Love Languages, making the case that sometimes we have to lead our hearts rather than follow them, and that choosing obedience when every impulse pulls the other direction isn't legalism — it's surrender.

Together they explore the Holy Spirit's shift from Old Testament to New (he's not leaving the building), the C.S. Lewis image of Jesus as a renovating homeowner, and what it looks like to actually let him into every room. Practical application at the end from both pastors: don't stay in the gap alone, and watch what's crowding Jesus out of your heart.

Bill sits down with pastors Jack Guerra and Ryan Groshek to go deeper into John 14:1-14 — the passage Jack and Ryan both preached last weekend. "I am the way, the truth, and the life." "Do not let your hearts be troubled." "In my Father's house are many rooms." These are some of the most well-known lines in Scripture, and this conversation digs into what they actually mean.

The guys talk about why heaven isn't boring (hint: think renewed creation, not clouds and harps), what it means that Jesus is the exclusive way to God and not just a spiritual signpost, and why general belief in "God" misses the point Jesus was actually making. Jack also shares how grief drove him deep into studying heaven, and Ryan breaks down the concept of new creation in a way that'll change how you think about eternity.

They close with a conversation on prayer — what it means to ask in Jesus' name, and why answered prayers deserve real credit given to God.

Pastor Jack sits down with Bill Van Kirk and Adam Jackson to dig into John 13 — where Jesus, the Creator of the universe, picks up a towel and washes His disciples' feet.

The guys unpack the power of that little word "so" in verse 3-4, the haunting moment when Judas walks out into the night, and what it means for us to let Jesus keep washing the grime of daily life off our feet. Plus practical ways to serve in every season — even when you're holding twins in both arms.
