I Wish I'd Asked That

How Do You Find Courage?

September 17, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 16:29–33

Everyone has a need for encouragement. And while this passage shows us the path to encouragement, it also has some sobering predictions in it. But we can come away from this message with fresh, spiritual courage to live the life we're meant to live for Jesus.

How Do You Find Complete Joy?

September 16, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 16:17–28

It's not about happiness or a big house or successful children—all that will be dust in the end. Happiness is temporary. It's about joy which is something lasting and unrelated to what is happening around you. Joy is ultimately related to who Jesus is.

What Could Be Better than Easter Sunday?

September 13, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 16:5–16

When we hold on to life how it is, we may be missing out on something better. You may be in the situation where you think you have everything you could possibly want, so why do you need to follow Jesus with any kind of real commitment? There is so much more on offer, and Jesus speaks to it here.

Why Do People Persecute Christians?

September 12, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 15:18—16:4

These days people have to be very careful what they say at work about the Bible. There are different kinds of persecution, and while you're not likely to be killed in America or England for being a Christian, there is opposition to Christian claims to truth and to Christian morality.

How Do We Bear Good Fruit? Part 2

September 11, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 15:1–17

This isn't about the person who has never been to church. This is about people who look like they're connected to the vine, but aren't. It's quite possible to grow up in the church and do all the "right" things, but not actually bear any fruit. It all comes down to regeneration by the Spirit.

How Do We Bear Good Fruit? Part 1

September 10, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 15:1–17

It may be that you're here because you feel your life isn't having the impact that you wish it would. You don't feel that you're fulfilling what you were made to do. In biblical terms, you're not bearing fruit—so how do we do that?

Why Do Some People Not Get It?

September 9, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 14:22–31

Some of those who say they have never seen God have not actually been looking. The surest way not to find is not to seek at all. Even if you are not a Christian, we all need to come to this study with an open mind and consider that these things might indeed be true.

How Do We Know It's All True?

September 6, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 14:8–21

Sometimes when we're going through a difficult time, we wonder how we can know that the things we believe in because we are following Christ are all true. The way to find the truth is to ask questions. We as Christians have nothing to hide. We do have the truth, and we can examine it with all the questions we have, and it will survive.

Why Is Jesus the Only Way to God?

September 5, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 14:5–7

Sixty-six percent of Americans think that belief in many different religions will get you into heaven. The more we come across people of other faiths and the more globalized our world is, the more we begin to think that truth is relative. This makes it harder for people to believe that Jesus is the only way to God.

Why Do Some Christian Leaders Mess Up? Part 2

September 4, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 13:36—14:4

When we think about Christian failure, we need to remember that the enemy is on the prowl. But these lessons teach us to fight the good fight, to resist the devil and he will flee from us. While we may be disappointed in a leader who has failed, Jesus teaches us here how to handle that and how to take responsibility for our own lives.

Why Do Some Christian Leaders Mess Up?, Part 1

September 3, 2024 • Dr. Josh Moody • John 13:36—14:4

The first message in this new series teaches about Peter, David, Moses, and others—great leaders, but men who messed up. Humility saves and arrogance kills. We need to be careful and remember that, "There by the grace of God go I."
