Jesus on the last night of his life teaches his disciples to love one another. But the chief point of the text is the love of Jesus, a love that fulfills certain themes from the feast of Hanukkah (explicitly mentioned in John 10:22).
In thinking about our Gospel text this morning I was reminded of the movie 300. This 2006 movie was quite the success. Men liked the battles and I’ve been told that many women liked the abs.

Scripture: Matthew 5:23-24, Ephesians 4:31-32, John 13:34-35
God is always doing new things in our lives, but we often miss them because we're too focused on the past. We need to let go of our past baggage and trust God for the future.
Remember the Israelites? They were slaves in Egypt for over 400 years. But when God set them free, they kept looking back, wishing for their old lives. Sounds crazy, right? But we do the same thing. We get stuck on the past, even if it wasn't that great. God wants us to drop that heavy backpack of ...read more

Fake news needs to be confonted with the "true truth" of God's Word. Central to this is the bodily resurrection of the dead.
This is Not Fake News! 1 Corinthians 15:1-19 The world today is suffering from an epidemic of “fake news” today.
