Stand in the Truth

John 17 records the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. As He approaches the cross, Christ lifts His eyes toward heaven and prays that the Father would be glorified through the work He came to accomplish.

In this episode of Stand in the Truth, we begin one of the most profound chapters in Scripture by exploring God's glory, Christ's authority, the gift of eternal life, and why prayer is ultimately about aligning our hearts with the Father's will.

As we listen to Jesus pray, we're reminded that the Christian life is not about seeking our own glory, but faithfully living for His.

How can believers have peace in a world filled with sorrow, uncertainty, and opposition?

In John 16, JESUS prepares His disciples for what lies ahead by promising the HOLY SPIRIT, assuring them of the Father's love, and reminding them that although tribulation is certain, His victory is greater.

Join us as we continue our verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of John.

Following JESUS has never been the popular path. In John 15:18-27, CHRIST prepares His disciples for the reality that the world will oppose those who belong to Him. Yet He also gives assurance that the HOLY SPIRIT will testify of CHRIST and empower believers to do the same.

Join us as we examine what it means to stand faithfully in the truth, even when the truth is rejected.

Paul's letter to Philemon may be only one chapter long, but it contains one of the clearest pictures of the Gospel in Scripture.

In this verse-by-verse study, we see forgiveness, restoration, reconciliation, and the transforming work of Jesus Christ. Paul's appeal for Onesimus reflects Christ's own work on our behalf: He not only forgave us but received us into God's family.

Jesus describes Himself as the True Vine and calls His followers to abide in Him. In this section of John's Gospel, we see that spiritual fruit is not produced by human effort but through remaining connected to Christ.

This study explores what it means to abide, how God prunes His people for greater fruitfulness, and why true joy, love, and obedience flow from a life rooted in Jesus.

Confused. Wandering. Abandoned. Troubled.

In John 14:12-31, JESUS ministers to each of these heart conditions and reminds His disciples that although He is leaving, they are not being abandoned. Through prayer, the HOLY SPIRIT, adoption into GOD's family, and the peace of CHRIST, believers can walk faithfully through uncertainty.

The Christian life is not merely doing things for GOD. It is walking with GOD.

As Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure, He addresses their fear and uncertainty with one simple command:

"Let not your heart be troubled."

In this study, we examine Christ's answer to anxiety, uncertainty, suffering, and fear. We discover that peace is not found in controlling circumstances but in trusting the One who remains faithful through every circumstance.

In this study, we examine the growing temptation to build identity around attention, recognition, and visibility rather than humility and service.

Through Philippians 2, Romans 12, and other passages, we are reminded that the church is not a platform for self-promotion but the body of CHRIST. Believers are called to use their gifts faithfully, esteem others above themselves, and seek GOD's glory rather than their own.

The goal is not becoming impressive. The goal is becoming faithful.

In John 13, JESUS shows His disciples what true love and servanthood look like. Knowing the cross was near and knowing Judas would betray Him, JESUS still loved His own to the end.

This teaching looks at CHRIST washing the disciples’ feet, the humility of true service, and the call to do what He has shown us - not merely understand it.

In the final moments of His public ministry, Jesus speaks with clarity and urgency.

“My soul is troubled”… yet He moves forward in obedience.

This passage reveals the tension we all feel—fear, uncertainty, and the desire to avoid difficulty. But Jesus shows us the right response: not escape, but surrender.

He also draws a clear line:

Walk in the light… or remain in darkness.

There is no middle ground.
