In this expositional sermon on John 14:22-31, we hear Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, promise that the Father and the Son will come and make their home with all who love Him and keep His word. He promises the Holy Spirit to teach His people and bring His words to remembrance, and He leaves them a peace the world can never give, even as the ruler of this world approaches and finds no claim on Him. Come and see the Savior who rises to go to the cross out of love for the Father, so that troubled hearts might rest in Him.

In this expositional sermon on John 20:21, brother Del takes us back to the moment Jesus called ordinary men with two simple words: “Follow me.” In that day a disciple walked so closely behind his rabbi that he was covered in his dust. Jesus invites us into that same nearness, under a yoke that is easy because it is His and as people who abide in the One who carries us. The risen Savior who breathed His Spirit on His disciples now sends us, as the Father sent Him, to make disciples of all nations.

In this expositional sermon on John 14:15-21, we listen in as Jesus, on the night before the cross, comforts His troubled disciples with a promise: those who love Him will keep His commandments. That promise is not a burden laid on weary shoulders but good news. The Father gives what He requires, writing His law on our hearts and sending the Spirit of truth, another Helper, to dwell in His people forever. Come hear the tender voice of the Savior who will not leave His people as orphans, and who says, “Because I live, you also will live.”

In this expositional sermon on John 14:1-14, we sit with troubled disciples on the night before the cross and hear Jesus speak peace to their hearts: trust Him as you trust the Father, for He goes to prepare a place for you and will surely come again to bring you home. When Thomas admits he doesn't know the way, Jesus answers with one of the clearest sentences in all of Scripture. The way to the Father isn't a list of tasks but a Person to know, the One in whom we see the Father Himself. Come and find rest for an anxious heart in the only Savior, who still works through His people and answers prayer for His Father's glory.

In this expositional sermon on John 13:31-38, we watch Jesus turn from Judas's departure into the night to declare, with striking calm, that his coming death is in fact his glory and the Father's. Out of that love he gives his disciples a new command to love one another the way he has loved them, all the way to the cross. This is the very mark the world will recognize as unmistakably his. And when eager, well-meaning Peter vows he'll never leave, Jesus tenderly tells him he will fail that very night, a reminder that our Savior's love holds fast even when ours falters.

In this expositional sermon on John 13:18–30, we watch Jesus knowingly hand a piece of bread to the very man who will betray Him; and love him to the very end anyway. He tells His disciples what is coming before it happens, not to alarm them, but so that when the darkest night in history unfolds, they will know with certainty that He is the great I AM, sovereign even over His own betrayal. Come and see a Savior who chose His own before the foundation of the world, and hear His urgent call to leave the darkness and walk in the light while there is still time.

In this expositional sermon on John 13:1-17, we watch the Lord of all creation kneel down with a basin and towel to wash His disciples' dirty feet; and discover that this is who our God has always been. Peter's objection exposes the temptation in all of us to relate to Jesus on our own terms, but Jesus is clear: the only way to belong to Him is to let Him serve and cleanse you, not to clean yourself up. Come hear how the foot washing points us straight to the cross, where the Lord and Teacher served His own to the very end.

In this expositional sermon on John 12:37–50, here's something that should stop us in our tracks: this crowd watched sign after sign and still wouldn't believe; and John tells us that wasn't an accident, it was Isaiah's ancient words coming true right in front of them. But don't miss what's tucked right alongside that: some did believe, they just kept it quiet because they cared more about their standing with people than with God. And into all of it, Jesus says something so simple and so good; to see Him is to see the Father, and He came to save us, not condemn us.

In this expositional sermon on John 12:27-36, we watch Jesus's soul grow troubled as His hour finally arrives; not because His glorification was in doubt, but because it would come through a cross. There, He tells us, the world's judgment falls, the ruler of this world is cast down, and people from every nation are drawn to the Savior who was lifted up for them. It's a sober, searching passage, and it ends with a plea that still stands: the Light is here a little while longer, walk in it while you can.

In this expositional sermon on John 12:20-26, we watch a simple request from a handful of seeking Greeks become the moment Jesus had been waiting for all along: "The hour has come." Rather than granting a private audience, He answers with the truth that His death is not defeat but the doorway to a harvest—for Jew and Gentile alike—like a grain of wheat that must fall into the ground before it can bear fruit. Come and see that following this crucified Messiah means losing a life we could never keep anyway, to gain the life only He can give.
