The Upper Room: Stooping to a Higher Level

September 17, 2023 • Bo Noonan • John 13:1–20, Philippians 2:5–8

Bo Noonan teaches from John 13:1-20 as we kick off our new series: The Upper Room - Words of Life from Jesus. This series will take us through the last meal Jesus had with his disciples and his farewell discourse to them. The depth of teaching, significance, and love that is displayed in this scene is magnificent. In part one, we see Jesus show what it means to be a part of, and to lead in, his kingdom, as he stoops to the lowest place of indignity to serve his friends by washing their feet.

The Upper Room: A choice in a garden changes everything

November 26, 2023 • Bo Noonan • John 18:1–18, John 1:46

Bo Noonan finishes our series The Upper Room by looking at John 18:1-18, where Jesus leads his disciples to a garden. There he will be arrested, led to the high priest to be tried, and ultimately crucified for the sins of all humanity. There is huge significance to Jesus being in the garden and saying yes to his Father's will, as this is the opposite of Adam and Eve's choice to follow their own way in a garden at the beginning of all things. Here Jesus changes everything...forever.

The Upper Room: Pulling Back the Curtain

November 19, 2023 • Bo Noonan • Hebrews 10:11–14, Hebrews 7:25, John 17, Numbers 6:24–26, Hebrews 2:11

Bo Noonan teaches through John 17, taking a deeper dive into what it means for Jesus to be our High Priest. In Jesus' "high priestly prayer" he pulls back the curtain on what he is about to do through his life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension...and what he shows us is breathtaking!

The Upper Room: Jesus' Prayer

November 12, 2023 • Lonnie Arnold • John 17, John 16:32–33

Lonnie Arnold shares from Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane in John 17 during our series The Upper Room. In this prayer we find the beauty of reconciliation and Jesus' prayer that, as the Church, we would be one as he and the Father are one. We also find the amazing truth that God the Father loves us, as followers of Jesus, with the same quality and quantity as Jesus himself!
