The Abiding Life

April 7, 2024 • Andrew Clark • John 15:1–11

As followers of Jesus, we are called not just to follow in his footsteps, but to abide in him, as he abides in us. What does this mean? What does it look like? Jesus here paints a beautiful and stunning picture of this relationship, a relationship of utmost importance and priority for our spiritual life.

Love, Unity, & Witness

June 9, 2024 • Andrew Clark • John 17:20–26

What are Jesus' hopes for the Christian community? Far from vain desires, the prayer of Christ here reflects the very heart of God: we are to share and experience the love of God, we are to be unified in the truth and person of Jesus, and we are to be a potent witness of love, truth, and grace to the world around us, that they may know the Father.

A Prayer for Potent Presence

June 2, 2024 • Andrew Clark • John 17:6–19

As he prays for his current disciples, Jesus asks that they would be protected and set apart to reflect God's love and goodness to a broken world.

The Good of His Glory

May 26, 2024 • Andrew Clark • John 17:1–5

God is consumed with his glory... but what does that have to do with us? In Jesus, we are caught up in the life-changing, joy-inspiring story of redemption; we are recipients of love and grace that touches and fills every part of our lives.
