Title: Love, Hate, And Life In The World
Scripture: John 15:18-16:4
Description: In this text Jesus implies that understanding and anticipating the hatred of the world for Jesus and his followers is crucial for faith that lasts. But what does Jesus mean by the hatred of the world? And how should we deal with the hatred of the world?

Title: Abide In Me
Scripture: John 15:1-17
Description: When it comes to growth as a Christian, Jesus leaves no middle ground. Those who abide in him bear fruit, and those who don’t abide in him wither and die. It’s either/or. So what does it mean to abide in him? And what sort of fruit comes from those who do?

Title: If You Love Me
Scripture: John 14:12-31
Description: Jesus teaches that if we love him we will obey him, and if we don’t love him we won’t obey him. The key to our behavior—what we do—is in the affections, what we love. That’s why Jesus’s promise of a Helper, the Holy Spirit, is such good news. The promised Spirit is also a promise of a new heart moved by love for Jesus.

Title: The Way, The Truth, The Life

Scripture: John 13:21-38

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Speaker: Matt McCullough
Title: True Freedom
Scripture: John 8:31-59

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.

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.
