This week, Pastor Ben teaches us how the Jews responded to Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11:45-57. The world is a hostile place today for those who tell the truth, just as it was in Jesus's time. As we mourn Charlie Kirk's death, we ought to seek the same legacy he did, as he recently stated, "I want to be remembered for courage for my faith." How will Jesus's message affect you? Where will you share the truth?

1. Some will respond with belief. (v45)
2. Some will respond with violence. (v46-53)
3. Some will respond with curiosity. (v54-57)

As we continue reading John, Pastor Ben walks us through Jesus's assurances to His flock through His discussion with disbelieving Pharisees in John 10:22-42. True belief in Jesus will result in life change in the power of God. Allow God to build your courage. Step forward boldly; we have been given His authority.

1. True believers experience assurance of Christ's eternal protection. (v22-30)
2. True believers experience assurance of Christ's authority. (v31-39)
3. True believers experience assurance of Christ's ongoing ministry. (v40-42)

"The Good Shepherd gathers His sheep because He alone can save them." Jesus, in another "I Am" statement in the Gospel of John, teaches us that He saves and cares for us as we follow Him like sheep. Listen as Pastor Ben takes us through John 10:1-21.

1. The Good Shepherd leads the sheep. (v1-6)
2. The Good Shepherd serves the sheep. (v7-13)
3. The Good Shepherd gathers the sheep. (v14-21)

This week Pastor Ben discusses Jesus's healing of a man born blind and the effects of the testimony of the healed man (John 9:1-41). God redeems our stories. He is with us on the mountaintops and in the valleys, and through it all, His glory shines through. We are made to testify to this.

1. The light of Jesus creates upheaval. (v1-12)
2. The light of Jesus works through confusion (v13-17), fear (v18-23), and ignorance (v23-34).
3. The light of Jesus brings eternal healing. (v35-41)

Pastor Ben | John 8:31-59

Pastor Nate teaches on Jesus's declarations at the Feast of Booths in John 8:12-30. The festival was also a celebration of lights for the Jews, and the many torches lighting up the night would have been a striking metaphor for the light that Jesus brings to the lives of those who invite Him in.

• Jesus claim: "I am the light of the world."
• Pharisee response: disbelief.
• Jesus claim: "I am the Son of Man."
• The people's response: many believed.

This week, Pastor Burke Perry visits to continue our series on Jesus's life in the Gospel of John. In chapter 8:1-11, Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees with a woman who had been caught in adultery. We can learn a great deal from His response. As Jesus treated the woman with compassion, He gained the right to tell her to change. As we treat others well, we can become participants in the redemption of those around us.

1. You can be right and still be wrong.
2. Jesus wasn't in the business of condemnation, but redemption.
3. God doesn't need us to defend Him. He wants us to represent Him.
4. We have a real enemy, but it's not each other.

This week, Pastor Ben teaches from John 7:1-52 about Jesus at the Festival of Booths, where He taught the people to come to Him for the water of salvation, in order to receive the Holy Spirit. We are dying of spiritual thirst, and only Jesus can fulfill our need.

1. Your thirst must lead you to trust in Christ's timing. (v1-13)
2. Your thirst must lead you to trust in Christ's message. (v14-36)
3. Your thirst must lead you to trust in Christ's invitation. (v39-52)
