  • I Will Not Leave You (33)

    Jesus does not merely point the way, he is the Way. Jesus does not just teach us truth, he is the Truth. He does not represent one avenue to life, he is the Life.

  • I Will Not Abandon You (33)

    Jesus is always with us. And by the power of the Spirit within us, we can be in his presence both now and forever.


    1. The disciples in John 14 were “stressed out” and afraid about losing Jesus and their relationship with him, their intimacy with him. Jesus responds by telling them that he will not leave them, but will come to them. Have you ever experienced a time when you were afraid of “losing” your relationship and intimacy with Christ? Or a time when you felt you were abandoned by Christ? What comforted you or led you through those moments? How did Christ come to you during those moments?

    2. Phil talked about the many rooms that Jesus has prepared for his children. The rooms represent being in the presence of Jesus forever, which is the highest reward and prize. Phil also talked about having an eternal vantage point in regards to thinking about heaven often. How often do you think about your eternity, or about being with Jesus forever? What comes to mind when you think of this? What effect does having an eternal vantage point have on our lives?

    3. Jesus isn’t just a way to understand God. He is the way to God. He reveals God to humanity. What is your story of how Jesus revealed himself to you / opened your eyes to know him?

    4. One day, Jesus will return and rescue the world from its darkness, brokenness, and injustice, and will bring us into new life, joy, and peace. What does this truth mean to you? What impact does it have on your life on a daily basis?

    5. Jesus promises that we will have daily communion with God through the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. Phil encouraged us to never resist the Holy Spirit, but to live in this world by the power of the Spirit. How can you live by the power of the Spirit this week?

    6. Christian Walk and Christian Thought (Hwy33)

      Being a disciple of Jesus involves not just knowing who he is, but also having a personal and

      transformative experience with him.

      STUDY QUESTIONS


      1. 1)  Phil’s message emphasized the importance of both knowledge and experience in our

        2. relationship with Jesus. Knowledge meaning knowing Jesus theologically, and
        experience meaning encountering him personally. Is this something that you’ve thought
        about before? Why is it important to have both knowledge and experience? Do you tend
        to lean on one of these sides more than the other? Why?

      2. 2)  John the Baptist considered the meaning of his life to be completely for Christ and to

        3. point to Christ, and Phil encouraged us to do the same. What does it mean to live
        completely for Christ? Why is living for Christ often difficult for us to do? How can we “be
        sold out for Jesus”, as Phil said?

      3. 3)  Phil said, “The Holy Spirit is the greatest gift that we have received.” Why are you

        4. grateful for the Spirit in your life? What is something that you’d like to experience more of
        in regards to the Spirit in your life? (Hearing God, spiritual gifts, etc)

      4. 4)  When we first become Christians, we have an enthusiasm and joy about sharing the love

        5. of Jesus with others. But as we get older, sometimes we can lose that joy and we forget
        about how exciting it is to introduce someone to Jesus. How can we regain that joy?
        What are some practical ways that we can share Jesus with someone this week?

      5. Justice in John: Partnering with the Holy Spirit (Hwy33)

        God cares deeply about justice, and he wants to partner with us to overcome injustice and fight

        for those in need within our community by empowering us with the Holy Spirit.

        Study Questions


        1. 1)  Jordan centred his message around the questions, “What does justice look like? And

          2. why does God care about it?” When you think of justice, what comes to mind? And why
          do you think God cares about justice in the world?

        2. 2)  “Only a Jesus-filled life can help bring about Jesus-like justice to those who suffer.” The

          3. Holy Spirit is the one who transforms our hearts and empowers us to do justice, but we
          often forget our need for Him. Why do we need the Spirit? How can we remind ourselves
          of our need for the Spirit?

        3. 3)  Jesus announced his arrival in Luke 4:18 talking about the hope and the freedom that he

          4. was bringing to the world. Jordan talked about how we are partners with Christ in this
          work in the world, and we do that by sharing the good news of Christ’s love and hope
          with those around us. Share a story of a time when you have shared the love of Christ
          with someone around you (through word or deed). What was that experience like for
          you? What was it like for the other person?

        4. 4)  Jordan talked about the importance of feeling instead of looking. Feeling the pain and

          5. the brokenness and the burden of the people we’re serving, instead of looking at it and
          moving on. How can we become people who feel more? What is something in this city
          that you want to see changed? How can you help be a part of that change?
