John 14:1-14 : Jesus Gives Peace and Power with Sam Lago

Jesus promises that His followers will never be abandoned like orphans, because the Holy Spirit—the divine Comforter and Advocate—comes to dwell within believers, making the love and presence of the Father and Son their eternal home. John 14 reveals that true peace, obedience, holiness, and security flow not from human strength or perfect circumstances, but from the indwelling life of the Triune God who adopts us, transforms us, and holds us fast through every trial.

John 13:1-17 : True Greatness Serves

True greatness is not found in status or power but in humble, Christlike service, as Jesus—fully secure in His identity and authority—stooped to wash the feet of disciples who would fail Him, pointing ultimately to the deeper cleansing of the cross. John 13 calls believers to lay aside pride, serve sacrificially in everyday life, and follow Jesus by trading the “crown” for the “towel,” knowing our security in Christ frees us to love and serve others well.  Contact Pastor Smart from our Church website or send an email.       hope4tampa.com/smartalk       smartalk@hope4tampa.com [smartalk@hope4tampa.com] Music: Achaidh Cheide - Celtic by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/].

John 15:18 - 16:15 : When Following Jesus is Costly

In this message from John 15:18–16:15, Jesus prepares His followers for a difficult but faithful path: following Him in a world that may reject those of us who follow him. His aim is clear—to keep His people from falling away by helping us to understand both the cost and the help we have in Him (John 16:1).  Contact Pastor Smart from our Church website or send an email.       hope4tampa.com/smartalk       smartalk@hope4tampa.com [smartalk@hope4tampa.com] Music: Achaidh Cheide - Celtic by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/].
