John 21: Feed My Sheep
Following God isn’t about living a perfect life. It is about following Christ’s example of not striving to be first and caring for others.
John 20: Right Where You Are
God understands our doubts, and he loves us enough to show us who he is again and again.
John 19: What I Have Written
God is not concerned with whether or not we have the right lineage or education. He wants us all to experience the truth of who he is.
John 18: What is Truth?
We live in a world which truth is very unclear and often seems to be in flux. Yet people need something unmutable they can hold on to.
John 17: Loved Like Jesus
God loves YOU as much as he loves Jesus, his one and only son, united to God, the one willing to sacrifice himself for everyone. Yeah, as much as that guy.
John 15: A Gardener and a Vine
Father, I want to produce good fruit in my life, fruit which pleases you. Help me to cultivate my connection to Jesus every day. Help me to love my fellow believers and all whom I contact according to the standards of the Bible. I understand you have chosen me, and I submit to your pruning. In the Name of Jesus, the True Vine, Amen.
John 14: Always With You
Christ followers experience difficult seasons in life when feelings of isolation and abandonment can loom large. The temptation to doubt or give up comes in the tough times. Knowing Jesus’ sure promise to be with us and keep us on the way to the Father’s house helps his followers navigate the dark seasons. He will never leave us. “I am with you always.” Jesus, Matt. 28:20.
John 13: By Our Love
If I, and each Christian, believed the truth of God’s love and focused on following his command, the world WOULD know we are his followers by our love.
John 12: Love and the Law
Jesus spent his time on earth revealing the truth of God’s love and grace for us. He didn’t say to stop following the rules. He shined a light on the rules so man could see the heart behind them. He came to show us that God desires obedience in love and relationship. We move from darkness to light when we put our trust in God rather than our ability to follow rules.
