The Book of John – Week 7: Come and Drink: The Promise of the Spirit | May 18–22
Jesus reveals Himself as the source of living water, inviting all who are spiritually thirsty to come and believe. Though misunderstood—even by His own brothers—He operates on the Father’s timing, not human expectations. At the Feast of Tabernacles, His bold invitation points to the coming of the Holy Spirit, offering inner transformation and lasting life.…
Read MoreThe Book of John – Week 6: When Following Gets Hard | May 11–15
Jesus used the same phrase “I AM” in seven declarations about Himself. In all seven, He combines I AM with powerful metaphors that express His saving relationship with the world. All appear in the Book of John. The first declaration follows another miracle Jesus performed: the feeding of the 5,000. Jesus feeds the crowds, meeting…
Read MoreThe Book of John – Week 5: When Life Disrupts Religion | May 4–8
The apostle John records a select number of signs or miracles that help demonstrate who Jesus is and the importance of believing in Him for eternal life. These miracles showed Jesus’ authority—an authority that only the Creator could have. John records one of these remarkable miracles in which Jesus asks an infirm man at the…
Read MoreThe Book of John – Week 4: Water That Changes Everything | April 27–May 1
The story of the woman at the well teaches us that God loves us despite our bankrupt lives. God values us enough to actively seek us, welcome us into intimacy, and rejoice in our worship. As a result of Jesus’ conversation, only a person like the Samaritan woman, an outcast from her own people, could…
Read MoreThe Book of John – Week 3: The Life Only God Can Give | April 20–24
Nicodemus, a respected Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, comes to Jesus with curiosity, and Jesus quickly reframes their conversation. Entry into God’s kingdom is not about status, knowledge, or morality—it requires new birth. Jesus speaks of a life that only God can give, a transformation that begins from above. John 3 reminds…
Read MoreThe Book of John – Week 2: Jesus Brings the Better Wine | April 13–17
At a wedding in Cana, Jesus performs His first sign—not on a public stage, but in an ordinary moment of need. When the wine runs out, Jesus steps into a situation of potential shame and transforms water into something rich and overflowing. This miracle isn’t about spectacle; it’s about restoration, generosity, and joy. Jesus still…
Read MoreThe Book of John – Week 1: In the Beginning was Jesus | April 6–10
The prologue of John’s Gospel describes Jesus as the agent of creation, the source of life, and the light of mankind who took on human form to dwell among people. Everything that exists finds its source in Him, and the life He brings is the light humanity desperately needs. From the first verses, John makes…
Read MoreGospel in Full Color – Week 7: White: He is Alive! | March 30 – April 3
The color of Easter is white, the color of light, victory, purity, and resurrection. White is what comes after suffering. White is what remains when darkness is undone. White is not the absence of color; it is the fullness of it. But white is not just the color of the resurrection morning. White is the…
Read MoreGospel in Full Color – Week 6: Purple: The King Who Reigns | March 23-27
Purple is the color of royalty. In the ancient world, it was expensive, rare, and reserved for kings and emperors. And yet, we read that soldiers put a purple robe on Jesus — not to honor Him, but to mock Him. They pressed a crown of thorns into His head and bowed down, sneering: “Hail,…
Read MoreGospel in Full Color – Week 5: Blue: Repent and Be Washed | March 16–20
Blue reminds us of water, rivers, seas, skies, and in Scripture, water often represents cleansing, renewal, and new beginnings. Blue takes us to the waters of the Jordan, where John the Baptist calls people to repentance and where Jesus Himself steps into those waters. Lent is like standing on the riverbank. We hear John’s cry:…
