This week we continued through the Gospel of John and camped out in chapters 13 and 14. Building on the moments we’ve seen—Mary’s costly worship, Lazarus raised from the dead, and Jesus meeting Thomas in his doubts—Jesus steps into the upper room and chooses a posture that surprises everyone: He gets up from the table, wraps a towel around His waist, and washes the disciples’ feet.

This week we continued through the Gospel of John, focusing on chapters 11 and 12, and anchored around one big idea: John wants us to see and believe that Jesus is truly the Son of God, the promised Messiah.

This week, we talked about the power of declarations—those clear, intentional statements that shape our direction and reveal what we truly believe.

This week we continued our journey through the Gospel of John by exploring chapter 5, where Jesus heals a man who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years at the pool of Bethesda. Pastor Ethan unpacked what it truly means to live “fully alive” in Christ, contrasting empty religion and false hope with the abundant life Jesus offers to all who believe in Him.

This week we explored John chapters 3 and 4, two of the richest sections in Scripture for understanding Jesus’ mission.

This week’s message continued our journey through the Gospel of John, reminding us that Scripture is not just a book to be admired, skimmed, or summarized by someone else—it is our Owner’s Manual for life.

What we think about Jesus will dictate how we live our lives. John’s Gospel is not simply a story to be read—it is truth meant to transform.

Genesis opens with a sinless creation and a garden; Revelation closes with a renewed creation and a garden-city. In between stands the Son who fulfills every promise.
