In John 16:5-15, Jesus promises that his departure from earth, which results in the sending of the Holy Spirit is better for the believer.  How can this be so?

If we are going to be hated and mistreated by those who are outside the church, how should we respond to this persecution? Join us as Paul and Pastor Matt explore this issue.

Jesus warns his disciples not to expect that life will be easy, instead he informs us that we should expect to be hated as he was hated.  This is due to the fact that we are no longer citizens of this world and this change in citizenship creates some uncomfortable situations for the believer as we live as ambassadors for Christ on foreign soil.

In John 15:1-17 Jesus claims to be the True Vine and that we are his branches.  To be a fruitful branch we must abide in Christ and we must be subject to the pruning of the Vinedresser.  Enjoy!

Paul and Matt discuss the concept of baptism in the Holy Spirit.  What do we mean we use that term?  What do other Christians believe? Enjoy!

The Holy Spirit is sent at the request of the Son by the Father to help and teach the Christian how to honor God in our lives.

In John 14 Jesus comforts his disciples by telling them that he is going to prepare a place for them.  Today, Paul and Pastor Matt explore this phrase and the way in which the disciples and early church would have understood how it connects to Jewish marriage.  We hope you enjoy!

John 14:1-14.  In this passage Jesus encourages his disciples that he will return for them, and then he states that he alone is the path to life with the Father in heaven. Enjoy.

Pastor Matt and Paul discuss the sin of pride and arrogance and how it can effect a Christian negatively.  Additionally, they look at how to combat this sin.  Enjoy!

The end of John 13 is where Jesus directs his disciples to love one another as He has loved them.  This call to love within the church is desperately needed today.
