Do I Want to Be Seen or Do I Want to Serve?

When the Hour Has Come - John 17:1-5

John 17 records the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. As He approaches the cross, Christ lifts His eyes toward heaven and prays that the Father would be glorified through the work He came to accomplish. In this episode of Stand in the Truth, we begin one of the most profound chapters in Scripture by exploring God's glory, Christ's authority, the gift of eternal life, and why prayer is ultimately about aligning our hearts with the Father's will. As we listen to Jesus pray, we're reminded that the Christian life is not about seeking our own glory, but faithfully living for His.

Peace in a Troubled World - John 16

How can believers have peace in a world filled with sorrow, uncertainty, and opposition? In John 16, JESUS prepares His disciples for what lies ahead by promising the HOLY SPIRIT, assuring them of the Father's love, and reminding them that although tribulation is certain, His victory is greater. Join us as we continue our verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of John.

When the World Hates the Truth - John 15:18-27

Following JESUS has never been the popular path. In John 15:18-27, CHRIST prepares His disciples for the reality that the world will oppose those who belong to Him. Yet He also gives assurance that the HOLY SPIRIT will testify of CHRIST and empower believers to do the same. Join us as we examine what it means to stand faithfully in the truth, even when the truth is rejected.

More Than Forgiveness - Philemon

Paul's letter to Philemon may be only one chapter long, but it contains one of the clearest pictures of the Gospel in Scripture. In this verse-by-verse study, we see forgiveness, restoration, reconciliation, and the transforming work of Jesus Christ. Paul's appeal for Onesimus reflects Christ's own work on our behalf: He not only forgave us but received us into God's family.

Abide, Don't Strive - John 15:1-17

Jesus describes Himself as the True Vine and calls His followers to abide in Him. In this section of John's Gospel, we see that spiritual fruit is not produced by human effort but through remaining connected to Christ. This study explores what it means to abide, how God prunes His people for greater fruitfulness, and why true joy, love, and obedience flow from a life rooted in Jesus.
