The Gospel according to John was written for those asking the question, ‘Who is Jesus?’ As the last of four gospel accounts, John knew there was still more to say. This disciple knew the transformative power of Jesus’ love and His zealousness for us to experience it. These words were written so that we would believe that Jesus is the Saviour of the world, the Son of the Living God, and that by believing we would step into full, abundant, and transformed life in His name.
Stepping Into Life
with Jesus
- John 13:36-38

Following Our Master
Into the Mud
- John 13:12-20
Nathan Harrison / August 06, 2023
We tend to assume that the sign of a successful life is that you are moving from one degree of status to the next. That happens as we take on tasks and responsibilities associated with that new position. But as Jesus sits around the table with his closest friends, he does something that shows that His kingdom works very differently. And in fact, he shows that the only way forward is down.

Nathan Harrison / May 7, 2023
When Jesus walked the earth, he both proclaimed the good news with his mouth and demonstrated it through works of power —casting out demons, healing the sick, freeing from sin and more.
