As John records what Jesus says and does, it's for the purpose of showing us who Jesus is. As he reveals his identity, trust begins to grow and the situation changes. If Jesus is God, then trusting him with your life is the most sane thing we could ever do.
Jesus lays down the evidence for his divinity. One by one. And it's overwhelming. So, why don't people come to him and worship? Well, he clues us in that it's a problem deep in the heart of humanity.
Jesus heals a paralyzed man - but the miracle quickly turns into a confrontation about authority. Who does Jesus think he is? As the passage unfolds, Jesus reveals he isn’t just a healer or teacher, but the Son of God who shares God’s authority to give life and execute judgment. The question is: will we listen to his voice?
Faith in Jesus is often a journey that grows and evolves over time. Sometimes we face key moments that either stunt our growth or propel us forward to trust Jesus more. You might be at the crossroads right now. Learn how to go deeper.
Every soul has a thirst that needs to be quenched. It's why people search for satisfaction in the things around them. Jesus knows about the thirst and knows what we need to find relief.
Celebrity culture can creep into the church in unhealthy ways.
John the Baptist shows us why Jesus is the only one worth pointing people to
Jesus says we need to experience a spiritual rebirth to enter the kingdom of heaven. How does that happen? And how can you be sure you've been born again?
We all know the feeling of wrapping up something good - something that gives us joy. Holidays, weddings, cherished moments. Things we wish would last. It's an echo of what our souls are chasing: lasting joy and fulfilment. As Jesus heads to a wedding and then to the Temple, he reveals that he alone provides a joy that never runs dry.
Three words. A simple invitation. But it changes everything. As Jesus begins gathering his disciples, he asks them to come and see who he is and what he is here to do. As we jump into 2026, would you let Jesus' invitation shape the year ahead?
It's possible to achieve everything you set out to accomplish in life and for your life to be a failure.
So what should we be aiming for?
This Christmas, things feel a little...heavy. Usually a vibey time of year, but for many, a shadow looms over it all. A darkness in the world. Which is why John's opening verses of his Gospel are so profoundly hopeful: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
It's possible to achieve everything you set out to accomplish in life and for your life to be a failure.
So what should we be aiming for?
How you and I approach God is incredibly important, Jesus says; it can make the difference between heaven and hell. What about those who know God? Well, we see that our approach is crucial as well. Come and be filled, as Jesus teaches us how to come to God in the everyday.
Jesus tells a story that's truly disturbing, to snap us out of our
complacency about eternal realities. Where will you spend eternity?
The parable of the Dishonest Manager is a tricky one! But it shows us how
we're to use the resources God has entrusted to us in a way that honours
Him, blesses others and is ultimately best for us.
We often feel joy when we find something we've lost. Whether it's small,
like our car keys or wallet, or bigger, like a pet or even a family member!
The dopamines flow. God is the same. He feels immense joy when sinners
repent. When the lost become found and the dead become alive. Join us as we
check out the beautiful God of joy!
God is gracious and generous, inviting all to come to Him. Have you
personally responded to that? Are you extending that invitation to others?
Honouring your pastors and masters (1 Timothy 5:17-6:2)
God calls us to respect those in leadership and to treat them with honour.
What should that look like in church and in the workplace?
What does it look like to care for the vulnerable in God’s family?
