Jason Thomas takes us through John 20:19-29 where Jesus appears to His disciples and we focus on what it means for Jesus followers to have peace and to have the Holy Spirit
In John 20:1-18, Jesus is resurrected from death, and the response of his closest followers ranges from investigative to intimate. Pastor Rayshawn preaches about how our response to the resurrection of Jesus must involve both reactions.
In John 19: 17-30, Jason Thomas preaches on the crucifixion of Jesus, as He is lifted up on a Roman cross, and directs us to look at Him for our salvation and provision.
In John 19:1-16, Jesus is sentenced by Pilate ultimately in the midst of a political drama orchestrated by the religious leaders. Even through the wicked plans of people, God will advance His purposes to save His people and renew the entire creation.
In John 18:28-40, what looks like defeat for Jesus is actually the plan of God for the redemption of the world coming to pass. Jesus will face injustice from a corrupt system, but will defeat injustice through experiencing it. His life will be exchanged for ours.
Jesus foretold that Peter would deny Him three times, but what brings Peter to the place of denial is the quest for self-preservation and the sinful complexity that exists in all of us.
