Before I Go

Before I Go

The Glory of the Cross

As Jesus turns from teaching to prayer in John 17, we see the defining moment of His mission unfold. The hour has come—everything in history has led to this point. Jesus’ life, prophecy, and God’s redemptive plan all converge as He prepares for the cross. But instead of seeking escape, he asks for one thing: glory—not through power, but through sacrifice.

The Cost of Discipleship

In Jesus’ final moments with His disciples, He warns them of the difficulties to come. Following Jesus is not without cost, sacrifice, and even persecution for some across the world. What does it look like to follow Jesus when the world is against you?

The Command to Love

In some of Jesus’ final words to His disciples in the book of John, He tells them to love each other. It feels like such a simple command, but it’s actually one of the hallmarks of a relationship with Jesus. Jesus’ love is sacrificial. It’s friendship, and it’s mission.

The Abiding Life

Faith isn’t about production. It’s about remaining with Jesus — abiding with the True Vine — as Jesus teaches His disciples in John 15. Listen as Pastor Brent explores this famous passage, encouraging us to rest in Jesus in order to bear much fruit.

The Helper

As Jesus shares with His disciples in the book of John, it’s better for Him to go so Christ-followers have access to the Holy Spirit. But, who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? Listen as Pastor Brent shares about the Spirit of God living in and working with and through us!

The God We Know

In John 14, we read Jesus make some bold statements about His identity. When you see Jesus, you see God. Jesus actually reveals the Father to us, which begs the question: What will you do with Jesus?

The Way

Our new sermon series explores the farewell discourse of Jesus: His final teachings to the disciples before His eventual death and resurrection. Pastor Brent begins by exploring the Way. Jesus says He’s “the way and the truth and the life,” but what does that mean? As we learn more about the Way, we also learn what true trust in God looks like.
