“As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.”

What do Jesus’ final words reveal about what mattered to Him?

In the hours before Jesus went to the cross for us, He prayed. He did not pray to escape His impending suffering. Rather, he asked the Father to unite His followers so that they would be prepared for the work to come. 

In this 6-week series, we’ll explore the prayer Jesus prayed in the Upper Room. With His closest followers gathered near to Him, Jesus prayed that they would display His glory to the world. 2,000 years later, these words still unite those who follow Him.

Together we will witness Jesus commission His church, a community united in love by the power of the Spirit. When the church lives out this call, it points a desperate world back to Jesus. So, let’s gather near and listen to Jesus’ final words as He prepares to send us into the world…

What does it look like to live a life of radical obedience to Jesus?

Through Acts 5:27-42, we discover what it means to choose conviction over convenience, remain faithful through life's challenges, and build daily habits that strengthen our relationship with Christ. When we say yes to Jesus and trust Him with the outcome, our obedience becomes an opportunity for God to transform our lives and impact the lives of others.

Who does Jesus say he is, and what does his identity mean for you?

When Moses asked God for his name, the answer came from the burning bush: “I AM WHO I AM.” Centuries later, Jesus takes that sacred name upon his own lips by making a series of statements beginning with I AM. “I am the bread of life,” “I am the light of the world,” “I am the resurrection and the life…”

In this series, we’ll explore these divine self-disclosures made by Jesus. They are not mere metaphors. Each statement tells us something specific and unique about Jesus. Each one also reflects back on us, revealing something we desperately need and can find only in him.

Join us as we discover who Jesus is in his own words. His identity shapes ours as we follow him and become more conformed into his image for the sake of others.

What if God was closer than you ever imagined?

As Jesus prepared to leave his disciples, he made an unexpected promise: they would never be alone. Through the Holy Spirit, God's presence would dwell with them—not just beside them, but within them.

In this series, we'll discover who the Holy Spirit is and why his presence changes everything. The Spirit is not an impersonal force, but the very presence of God with us—teaching, comforting, convicting, and empowering us to follow the way of Jesus. Discover how his gentle but transforming presence reshapes our lives from the inside out.

What if the life you're longing for isn't found by trying harder?

We live in a world that celebrates hustle, achievement, and constant productivity. But on the night before his crucifixion, Jesus offered his disciples a different way.

Using the image of a vine and its branches, Jesus invites us to stop striving and remain in him—to stay connected to the One who gives life. The Christian life isn't about earning God's approval or manufacturing spiritual growth. It's about living in relationship with Jesus.

In Vine & Branches, we'll explore what it means to abide in Christ and discover how lasting transformation happens—not through our effort, but through his presence. As we remain rooted in him, God produces the fruit that only he can grow.

Join us as we learn to slow down, remain in Christ, and experience the kind of life Jesus promises.

It’s one thing to say, “Here is a way to God.”
It’s another thing entirely to say, “I am the way to God.”

As Jesus makes his claims, the offense escalates.
Confusion becomes skepticism.
Skepticism becomes anger.
And eventually, resistance turns murderous.

Because Jesus doesn’t just offer truth.
He claims to be the truth.

His words divide rooms, confront pride, and challenge the things we hold most precious. And every encounter forces the same questions:

Who does this guy think he is?
And maybe more importantly—who do I think he is?

Mercy has many forms. It can be restraint from issuing deserved punishment. It can be restoration to wholeness. It can be the meeting place between love and justice. And sometimes, it’s simply compassion toward a need.

But mercy is never weakness, or tolerance, or God lowering the bar of the holiness to which he calls us. Mercy is the holy love of God moving toward people who cannot save themselves.

In the Gospel of John, we encounter a Savior who does not stand at a distance from human suffering and need. He moves toward it, speaks into it, heals it, and offers dignity.

In each of these encounters, Jesus reveals the heart of the Father. Because mercy is not merely something God gives, it is who He is—and he offers us this mercy even at great cost to himself.

This series invites us to consider not only where we might need the mercy of God, but whether or not we are willing to receive it. Because mercy is beautiful when we know that we need it—but unsettling when we don’t think we do.

Jesus calls us to look after the vulnerable and when the church makes the choice to so, good happens.

What refreshes your life when you feel weary?

When we’re running low on rest, food, water, or even margin, it reveals something deeper in us: a need for renewal. In the Gospel of John, the symbol of water reveals Jesus’ revitalizing power. Water cleanss, nourishes, and produces abundance. This is what Jesus offers: transformation and satisfaction in everyday life.

Through Water dives into the stories of three people who are given the opportunity to receive the kind of refreshment that changes everything. Their accounts in the book of John illustrate truths about Jesus as the giver of life. He leads people from the depths of understanding their sin, to the surface of rebirth, and into the overflow of His love.

We’ll consider how those who encountered Jesus show us what it means to step into life with Him. In our own lives, will we move from our old ways into new life? Through Water explores how, when we accept His grace, Jesus fills us and flows through us to others.

Have you stopped expecting God to do the impossible?
Life can train us to adjust our expectations—to accept limits, manage disappointment, and live within what seems realistic. But in the Gospel of John, Jesus disrupts expectations. Water becomes wine. Scarcity turns into abundance. Chaos gives way to calm.
These moments aren’t meant to impress. They are signs—miracles that reveal who Jesus truly is; they invite belief in the one who holds authority over all creation. Again and again, Jesus meets people in ordinary places and transforms what they thought was immovable or finished.
In Signs of Glory, we’ll journey through the early chapters of John and find a Jesus who challenges unbelief. Each sign presses the same question: Is Jesus who he says he is? And if he is, how could that redefine our lives?
