John 3:16 is often treated like a slogan, but John meant it as a story — a story told through real people and real encounters.

In this message, Pastor Cory walks through the Gospel of John and shows how God’s love isn’t an abstract idea. It shows up through people: a teenager finding faith through kindness, a religious leader searching for status, a woman burdened by shame, a grieving family, a doubter who needs proof, and a disciple who can’t believe he’s still loved.

Eternal life, John says, isn’t just about someday. It’s about trusting Jesus now — stepping into a way of life where God’s love breaks through ordinary places, ordinary people, and ordinary moments.

The question isn’t whether God loves the world.

The question is whether we’re willing to trust that love — and participate in it.
