Take the Hit - John 13:1-17 Part 1

The Triumphal Entry - John 12:12-16
History is filled with great kings, but every one of them eventually faded into memory. Jesus is different. He is the eternal King of Kings who conquered not through military might, but through sacrificial love. Riding into Jerusalem on a humbl...
The Infinite Value of Christ - John 12:1-11
Contrasting the fading value of worldly possessions with the infinite value of Jesus Christ is important. Using stories of misjudged financial worth, it argues that everything material will ultimately be consumed, leaving only Christ as what tr...
The Great Exchange - Psalm 22

The Resurrection Life Part 3 - John 11:43-57

Why We Disobey - John 10:22-42

The Good and Almighty Shepherd - John 10:8, 10-21

Our Protector and Provider - John 10:7, 9

The Good Shepherd - John 10:1-6
