April 07 Ben Fleming: Easter Sunday, John 21:1-16
The Gospel of John: Week 14 | Easter Sunday marks a day of not only the miracle of Jesus rising from the grave, but of an invitation for anybody and everybody to know that their stories are not over. No matter your regrets, failures, or uncertainty, Jesus invites every one of us to come and sit with him.

March 30 Evan Earwicker: God in the Garden, John 18:1-11
The Gospel of John: Week 13 | In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus, by handing himself over to his attackers, shows that he is not a powerless victim, but the only one with authority to choose the path of the cross to save others.
31 min
March 23 Ben Fleming: Abiding & Thriving, John 15:3-17
The Gospel of John: Week 12 | Jesus invites us to remain connected to him like branches to a vine, trusting that real transformation and fruitfulness comes not from abiding in his life and teachings – choosing to simply be with him – not striving to prove our dedication or worth.
33 min
March 16 Josh Cordell: Peace in a Troubled World, John 14: 1-14
The Gospel of John: Week 11 | The peace that Jesus offers isn’t found in specific circumstances or self-improvement. It is found by realizing that we are vessels of his goodness, and are fully reliant on his presence through the Holy Spirit.

March 11 Evan Earwicker: Love That Lowers, John 13:1-17
The Gospel of John: Week 10 | While the disciples argued about who among them was the greatest, Jesus stooped to wash their feet. By loving even those who would betray and abandon him, Jesus showed that loving your neighbor has nothing to do with status – it is about lowering yourself in order to lift up another.

March 02 Ben Fleming: Worship That Costs, John 12:1-8
The Gospel of John: Week 9 | Mary’s (the sister of Lazarus) bold act of anointing Jesus with costly perfume reveals that true discipleship flows from humble devotion at his feet – not pride, efficiency, or transactional religion that believes God “owes” us something.
33 min
February 26 Evan Earwicker: Resurrection & The Life, John 11:1-14
The Gospel of John: Week 8 | Jesus’ bold declaration, “I am the resurrection and the life,” confronts the hard question: Why God sometimes seems slow in the face of suffering? We are invited to trust Christ’s nearness in grief, believe in His power to bring life from death, and become a community marked by grace and resurrection hope.

February 19 Ben Fleming: The Voice We Know, John 10:1-10
The Gospel of John: Week 7 | Jesus’ declaration as the Good Shepherd invites us to consider what it truly means to recognize His voice amid the noise and competing influences of everyday life.
31 min
February 09 Evan Earwicker: Learning to See, John 8:12
The Gospel of John: Week 6 | When Jesus declared himself the Light of the World, it was a declaration that asked something of humanity, too. It asked us to keep our eyes open and willing to recognize that before we saw Jesus’ light, we were blind – but by acknowledging his light, now we can see!
27 min
February 03 Ben Fleming: A Tale of Two Frustrations, John 6:1-15
The Gospel of John: Week 5 | When Jesus fed the crowd but refused to be made a national savior, he disappointed the revolutionaries who viewed him as a means to an end – just like the Pharisees had before. Instead of seeing Jesus simply as someone who can change our circumstances, we should see and seek him for who he really is: the Bread of Life.
