As we come to the end of the Upper Room discourse in John's gospel, Jesus reassures his disciples with the hope that their sorrow will turn into joy. In this message, we'll look at the three sources of godly joy in Christ, all of which will encourage and enable us to be overcomers in the midst of great tribulation.

Upward & Onward, Pt. 13
April 9, 2023 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • John 17:20–26
As Jesus concludes his time in intimate prayer with the Father, he directs his focus onto a people who have yet to come to believe in him as Lord and Savior. He turns his attention from his immediate disciples and towards all future disciples who will come to faith through God's word. This is one portion of Scripture in which all future followers of Jesus can rightly say they've made it onto the pages of Holy Scripture!
Upward & Onward, Pt. 12
April 2, 2023 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • John 17:12–19, Psalm 119:105
As Jesus continues as the High Priest of God and prayer intimately to the Father, he prays for the sanctification of all his chosen people, that they would be sanctified through the truth of God's word.
Upward & Onward, Pt. 11
March 26, 2023 • Pastor Jeremy Dente • John 17:6–11
As Jesus continues his High Priestly prayer in John 17, he now turns his attention towards those who have been with him from the beginning of his earthly ministry, praying for their unity over what is most important. In this message, we look at the essentials of the Christian faith over which all the body of Christ should be united, how that unity is manifested in the local church, and some obstacles that we often experience that hinder unity in the church.
