In this look at Gideon, Justin Zahraee (PhD student at Wheaton College) takes us on a journey that shows us true courage and the God who provides it.

John spends his entire gospel explaining why people should believe in Jesus. Then he wraps up his book with Jesus' call to "Follow Me." What did Jesus mean by this and why did John choose to use it as the exclamation point of his message about Jesus?

As Jesus concludes His prayer for His followers, one of His desires is that His people truly know Him. It's through this relationship that we are empowered to live in unity with other Christians and draw others to Jesus.

Jesus spent more than 3 years in ministry before He was put to death. What can we learn from His time in the world that relates to our own lives? There are challenges and also great opportunities in living life like Jesus.

One of the things Jesus prays for before heading to the cross is that His people would "be one." Jesus is referring to much more than simply getting along. In this message, Pastor Cisco Cotto describes what it means for God's people to "be one" with each other and Him.

Right after Jesus offers encouraging words to His disciples, He offers what may seem like encouraging words to Himself. But in this prayer of Jesus we see a glimpse of the main reason He came to earth, died, and rose again.

There are several things Jesus says that are hard to understand. But as we study the final pieces of encouragement in this series of last words of Jesus, we get plain answers to two significant questions: why can we have relationship with God and how can we have peace?

There are many ways Christians benefit from Jesus' resurrection from the dead. However, as Jesus begins closing out His time on earth He has some encouragements for His disciples including these two specific reasons that they (and we) would benefit from His resurrection.

Jesus tells His disciples that it's better for them if He leaves. What a stunning statement to people who were grieving at the news that Jesus would someday be gone. But in this passage in the gospel of John, Jesus shows us why it's actually better for each of us that He left the earth after rising from the dead. It's to our benefit that He's gone!

As we continue our study of Jesus' final words to His followers in John, we read of Jesus telling them that He wants to keep them from stumbling. What does He mean by this? Should Christians not have hard times or is there something deeper that He is trying to show us?
