Jesus Is God: Whoever Has Seen Jesus Has Seen The Father
March 14, 2023 • Tim Conway
In John 14:9 Jesus said, "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." Jesus places himself in the same category as the only true God. Would you also place him in such a category? Do you have any gaps in your understanding of Christ? Denying Christ is more than just denying his existence; it is denying who he specifically claimed to be.

A Remedy For Troubled Hearts
February 28, 2023 • Tim Conway • John 14:1–2
Do you have a troubled heart? Christ counsels us and gives us a remedy for troubled hearts. By speaking words of stability and anchoring us, Christ helps us avoid falling away.
Do You Wish To See Jesus?
February 13, 2023 • Tim Conway
How does Jesus respond to those who say, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus" in John 12:21? Are they even able to see Jesus? Christ calls those who want to see him down the same path that he is going--a path to die and lose your life in this world.

Go Low Like Christ | The Upper Room Discourse, Part 2
January 5, 2023 • Tim Conway • John 13:1–20
Why does Jesus say, "If I don't wash you, you have no share with me"? It is clear that foot washing represents something, and if Peter rejects the sign, then he rejects the reality and, in doing so, rejects Christ's teaching. Listen in as Tim studies this out and considers two primary lessons we can learn from this passage.

Glorify, Glorified, Glorification
January 19, 2023 • Tim Conway
What does it mean to be glorified? in John we find these terms used over and over again. John 13:31-32 - When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now is the Son of Man GLORIFIED, and God is GLORIFIED in him. 32 If God is GLORIFIED in him, God will also GLORIFY him in himself, and GLORIFY him at once.
Fighting For The Throne Instead of Picking Up The Towel?
January 10, 2023 • Tim Conway
There are people who are fighting for the throne rather than fighting for the towel. Small people, because Jesus says, you want to know the real path to greatness? There are also people who strive for greatness in the wrong places. What he's really saying is, you're not great. You're the smallest of all people. Small people strive for importance.
