Title: The Way, The Truth, The Life
Scripture: John 14:1-11

Date: 09/28/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: A New Commandment
Scripture: John 13:21-38
Description: The primary mark of a genuine follower of Jesus is a love for others that reflects Jesus’s love for us. So what does this love look like?
Date: 09/21/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: He Loved Them To The End
Scripture: John 13:1-20
Description: Jesus serves us, so we serve each other.
Date: 09/14/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Understanding Unbelief
Scripture: John 12:36-50
Description: Why was Jesus so widely rejected by his own people? That’s the question John takes up as Jesus’s public ministry draws to a close. And his answer is crucial for us as we face unbelief in ourselves and in those around us.
Date: 09/07/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: For This Purpose
Scripture: John 12:20-36
Description: Jesus came to win glory—the glory of his death, the glory of his Father, and the glory of all those who trust in him.
Date: 08/31/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Conquering Lamb
Scripture: John 11:45-12:19
Description: These three stories point us to the irony we have to recognize if we want to understand Jesus and what it means to follow him: he is the death-defeating king who conquers by dying, the champion who wins by losing, the one who gains his glorious throne by embracing the shameful cross.
Date: 08/24/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Death, Resurrection, And The Glory Of Jesus (Part 2)
Scripture: John 11:1-44
Description: To see the glory of Jesus, to fully believe in him and rest in his power, we must see him in light of the problem he came to solve, the problem of death. And when we’ve seen the glory of Jesus, when we’ve tasted the sweetness of what he offers by his life, death, and resurrection, we come to see the problem of death in a whole new light.
Date: 08/17/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Death, Resurrection, And The Glory Of Jesus (Part 1)
Scripture: John 11:1-44
Description: If we want to understand the full significance of Jesus and what he came to do for us, we have to look squarely at the awful reality of death. It’s in the context of this most basic human problem that the glory of Jesus shines most brightly.
Date: 08/10/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Sovereign Shepherd
Scripture: John 10:22-42
Description: Following Jesus as shepherd means he’s more than an accessory; his call demands your whole life. But the same shepherd who demands our lives also gives life to all who rest in him.
Date: 08/03/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Good Life and the Good Shepherd
Scripture: John 10:1-21
Description: Jesus claims that he is the door into the good life—a life of safety and satisfaction. He claims that everyone else offering the good life will ultimately bleed you dry, not fill you up. And he claims that he will deliver where all others fall short because he is the Good Shepherd who loves his sheep enough to die for them and who’s powerful enough to conquer death for them.

Title: Seeing Jesus With New Eyes
Scripture: John 9:1-41
Description: Only Jesus can give us true sight.
Date: 07/13/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: True Freedom
Scripture: John 8:31-59
Description: Jesus offers freedom to everyone who hears his word and embraces him. But in what sense do we need freedom? How do we know Jesus can deliver? And how is it that he can set us free?
Date: 07/06/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: See the Light
Scripture: John 8:12-30
Description: The cross of Jesus is the ultimate light through which we understand the world, find hope in sorrow, and experience freedom from sin.
Date: 06/29/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Neither Do I Condemn You
Scripture: John 7:53-8:11
Description: Though most agree this famous story doesn’t belong in John’s Gospel, it stands as a vivid and beautiful illustration of the Bible’s consistent and clear message: sin is a universal problem (and not just someone else’s problem), but it is no match for the liberating power of Jesus’s grace.
Date: 06/22/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Is This The Christ?
Scripture: John 7:1-52
Description: In this chapter John develops the mounting tension over who Jesus is and how to respond to him. Along the way, he illustrates three ways to reject Jesus and the one way for anyone to embrace him. Ultimately, it’s all about the heart.
Date: 06/08/14
Speaker: Bill Heerman
Title: What It Means To Follow Jesus
Scripture: John 6:60-71
Description: Jesus came to save people from their biggest problem: death.
Date: 06/01/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Feeding on Jesus
Scripture: John 6:41-59
Description: Jesus uses vivid imagery as a metaphor for belief. He is the bread of life and the living water, and whoever feeds on his flesh and drinks his blood has eternal life.
Date: 05/25/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: The Work of God
Scripture: John 6:16-40
Description: The difference between life and death hinges on the difference between the work God wants from us and the work God does for us. According to Jesus, the work God requires of us is to believe on him. But it is God’s work to make us satisfied and to make us secure.
Date: 05/18/14
Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: Power and Purpose
Scripture: John 6:1-15
Description: Like Matthew, Mark and Luke, John gives us the story of the feeding of the 5,000, where Jesus turns a glorified snack into a full meal for a massive crowd of hungry people. It’s a story meant to demonstrate that Jesus has power that isn’t limited by rigid laws of nature, that in him we catch a glimpse of a new world breaking into the somber limitations of this old one. But John also means this story to provide a sign of Jesus’s purpose. He will use his power not necessarily to give us what we want but to give us what we need above all else.

Title: How Can You Believe?
Scripture: John 5:30-47
Description: In this dialogue with those who opposed him, having just claimed to be equal with God, Jesus points to the evidence that supports his claim. But his main focus is explaining why those who’ve seen the evidence still don’t believe in him. If we believe based on what we want, and if we want the respect and praise of other people, we’ll never believe in Jesus. But if we want the approval of God more than the approval of other people, Jesus becomes beautiful to us.
