Routinely while preaching through John I'm stunned by the depths of truth that lay behind so many passages. For me, John 18:4 has become one of those verses. It's placed strikingly in the context of Jesus' arrest. In this chapter we see Jesus isn't running from the band of soldiers lead by his betrayer Judas yet I also wouldn't say he's come to turn himself in considering he hadn't broken any laws. Rather, I suppose it would be best to say that Jesus had simply accepted the cup that JUST moments earlier in the garden of Gethsemane he had asked the Father to take away from him.

Welcome to Hebrews!
This Sunday we’re starting a new teaching series through the book of Hebrews! There’s always something special about the first Sunday of a new study. Gathering on that first Sunday always renews an excitement in my heart to teach God’s people. However, this weekend feels a little awkward though doesn’t it? Here we sit in a stay-home order that’s sure to last the entire month of April. I don’t like that we can’t physically gather, it’s not ideal. I’m not cut out to be a YouTube-preacher and I miss seeing your faces more than you know. All that being said, I’m no less excited to study through this season together!

Yet another resource on John!
When I get the chance I've found that I really enjoy blogging about resources that I use to teach and preach. There are so many great God-honoring resources out there on John and I can't help but want to share those blessings with others in the hope that they would be encouraged in that same way I feel like I have been. Probably the biggest blessings to me while teaching through John has been finding out that people in my own congregation have been picking up some of these resources and studying for themselves the riches of wisdom inspired by John.
