Loving All The Way Until It Hurts Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 14, 2025

Remember that the letter to the Hebrews tells us that Jesus Himself was made perfect through suffering. If we, too, want to share in His glory, we must also be prepared to suffer, perhaps a lot. And loving can involve suffering too, can't it?

Fifth Sunday of Easter 2025 Pope St. John Paul II looked at Our Lord Jesus as the fulfillment of what we might call “human potential.” He was and is the man that Adam was created to become. Lamentably, Adam and Eve tried the Satanic shortcut, attempting to become divine by disobeying a direct ...read more

The Departure Of Jesus From This World Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 20, 2024

We will find that Jesus’ death did three things, so that is where we will focus our attention. Jesus’ death brought a threefold glory. Jesus’ death demanded a new commandment. Jesus’ death revealed stumbling and faltering loyalty.

Last time we ended our study with Judas being asked by Jesus to go and do quickly what he was going to do. Tonight we find Jesus talking about His approaching death. In tonight’s passage we will find that Jesus’ death did three things, so that is where we will focus our attention. First, let’s ...read more

Father, Glorify Your Son

Contributed by James Dina on Sep 24, 2022

"Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, so that Your Son may also glorify You." When God commands his glory to overshadow our church, our mouths will be full of praise and our lips with thanksgiving forever.

FATHER, GLORIFY YOUR SON. "Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,  as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You ...read more

Living The Loyal Life

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 12, 2022

We are going to have the opportunity to rekindle our own loyalty to Jesus as we try to live a life that is connected to Him.

Last week we started in a new direction as we began talking about being closely connected to Jesus. We said that in order to be more like Jesus, we need to exhibit a life of humble service.

What Does Love Have To Do With It?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 25, 2023

John 13:31-35 contains perhaps the most remarkable command given to Christians: that love for others is the characterizing indication of faith for ''all individuals,'' denoting the existence of a genuine believer.

Jesus outlines this as a new commandment, utilizing His own model as the norm. In giving this charge, Jesus indeed predicts His looming demise and exit from earth. To cherish others was not another new commandment (Leviticus 19:18), but rather to love others just as like Christ loved others was ...read more

Believe, Ask, Love (John 13:31-14:14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 19, 2022

Jesus is leaving soon. "Believe" him, ask for anything, and love one another.

This morning we continue our series in the Gospel of John. And we are one of the many points in the book, where I'm not sure how I should try to teach it. Really, chapters 13-17 work as one giant section, and we are supposed to grab them in their entirety, and hear them in one setting. ...read more

The mutual glorification of the Son of man and of God. The love of Jesus as a model for our love for one another.

GLORIFICATION AND LOVE. John 13:31-35. The inevitable process which would culminate in the self-sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf was reaching its climax.

Is that the same thing as the love that makes your mouth go dry and your heart beat fast when ...read more
