Jesus declares himself to be the resurrection and the life. Jesus weeps with those who weep in the passing of his beloved friend Lazarus. He sees and knows our grief and sorrows. He then raises Lazarus from the dead to display his full power and sovereignty even over death itself. Therefore, we can have complete comfort and trust in Him.

Jesus is our true shepherd. Jesus shepherds his sheep by providing protection through the dangers of life, by providing entrance into a flourishing life, and by laying down his own life for his sheep.

Jesus is the great "I Am". As such, he is fully God. In Jesus, the eternal God has stepped into humanity to secure true freedom from sin for His people. Whom Jesus has set free is free indeed!

As the light of the world, Jesus grants us true sight. Jesus reveals the Father, so that we can rightly understand who God is. Jesus exposes our sin, and thus lovingly invites us to confess and to repent of our sins. Jesus leads us out of darkness, so that we have the hope that one day all will be bright and darkness will be no more. When we encounter the light of the world, we will say: "I once was blind, but now I see."

As Jesus continues his public ministry, the crowds are confused as to who Jesus is. This confusion stems from an underlying sense of disappointment, fear, hatred, and pride. In the face of such confusion, Jesus extends a clear invitation to believe in Him as the promised Messiah who has come to secure true life by pouring out the Spirit through laying down His own life.

We are continuing our study back in the gospel of John with John 6:1-71. John describes the miraculous signs of Jesus feeding the 5000 and him walking on water. In the past, God through Moses (the first redeemer) controlled the waters by dividing the seas and feeding the Israelites with miraculous provisions of bread. But the one who is greater than Moses has come. Jesus is the bread of life, the true bread from heaven given by the Father. Those who may find eternal life and ultimate satisfaction must fully partake and believe in the Son, the true bread from heaven.

Mary Magdalene is an important witness to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through her eyes, we see that Jesus is the great Savior who delivers His people out of darkness, Jesus is the great Teacher who invites His people into discipleship, and Jesus is the great King who commissions His people to tell the world about His victory.

One of the profound realities of the gospel is that we will receive new, glorified resurrection bodies. We will not inhabit eternity as floating spirits, but we will have real flesh and blood and bones. Part of that physical reality means that we will retain our ethnic identities. How should the resurrection shape our understanding of what it means to be Asian American?

If I've died to my sin, then why does sin seem to still have mastery over me? One of the greatest struggles for all Christians is not necessarily external but within. We believe we are saved but yet struggle with sin, which at times leads to doubts, frustrating cycles, or bouts with apathy. How do we navigate the reality of this struggle and find victory?

The cross is the central aspect of Christianity. But what exactly happened at the cross? In this pastoral conversation, we will go over some false views and objections to the cross, discuss various atonement theories, and talk about how the cross reshapes our relationship with God, with self, with others, and with the world.

H-E-Double Hockey Sticks. Hell is a reality that Scripture presents. How should we understand and reconcile the idea of eternal punishment and torment? In this pastoral conversation, we explore what Scripture has to say about hell, if a good God can condone eternal punishment, and why the doctrine of hell is important to rightly understand.

What happens after we die? That's a question that looms large over every single person, whether religious or non-religious. In this pastoral conversation, we explore what Scripture has to say to believers about life after death, the reality of heaven, and how that should shape our lives here and now.

Jesus continues his public ministry and demonstrates his unique authority as the Son of God by carrying out signs. Responses to these signs vary from genuine faith to opportunistic calculation and prideful rejection. These signs ultimately show that Jesus is the Son sent by the Father with authority to grant life to those who believe Him and to pass judgment on those who reject Him.

Jesus offers an unnamed Samaritan woman the gift of living water to quench her deepest thirst and to provide true and lasting satisfaction. This living water is salvation that secures freedom from shame and freedom to worship. In offering her salvation, Jesus shows himself to be the Savior of the world, who has come to cross all boundaries and to bring all peoples into God's Kingdom to worship God in Spirit and truth.

In his conversation with Nicodemus, Jesus shows that entrance into God's Kingdom is not through self-righteous religiosity, but through spiritual regeneration by the Holy Spirit. Each person must be born again. In order to experience the new birth, one must repent of self-righteousness and believe in Jesus as the loving Savior.

Jesus begins his public ministry to manifest his glory through signs, miracles, teachings, and authority. In this chapter, we will read about the sign at the Wedding at Cana and the cleansing of the temple in Jerusalem. Jesus as the Messiah inaugurates the Kingdom at hand with power and authority by providing new wine and a new temple (his body). Therefore, His Kingdom demands both faith and surrender.

John the Baptist faithfully carries out his role and testifies that Jesus is the Christ. As the Christ, Jesus is the promised King who rescues God's people by laying down His own life and by pouring out the Holy Spirit. Witnesses of Christ are those who rightly see Jesus and then joyfully invite others to also see Jesus.

Jesus is the Word. As such, He is the eternal and divine Creator who is the source and sustainer of life. He is also the victorious Savior who secures the right for people to become children of God. And He is the unique Son of God who takes on humanity and ultimately reveals the Father.

God speaks to us through the divinely inspired Scriptures. As such, Scripture is perfectly inerrant, supremely authoritative, and powerfully transformative. If we want to cultivate a right vision of God, we need to be a people of the Word.

God is holy, but God is also one who is near and who dwelt among us. God the Son put on flesh to become our Great mediator, savior, and friend. God knows us fully and wants us to know him as well.

For God to be sovereign simply means that God has total freedom. He is not restricted by any greater authority. Rather, in his sovereignty, God actively supervises all things and purposefully succeeds in all things. As such, we have hope especially in seasons of suffering and we gain courage to boldly take risks for God's Kingdom.

Holiness is not just one attribute of God, but it is the attribute that undergirds all other attributes of God. In his holiness, God is uniquely set apart and God is morally pure. In light of God's holiness, we should respond in worship, grow in holiness, and pursue after justice.

God is not some abstract, amorphous higher power, but God is triune. God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – eternally existing as three persons sharing one divine essence. Far from being a nerdy theological doctrine that is irrelevant to our lives, the Trinity impacts everything, especially the Gospel. The Gospel starts with the Trinity, is carried out by the Trinity, and leads us to the Trinity. May we marvel at our God who is triune!

As we embark on this theme of God's Vision for 2025, we recognize that rightly seeing God's vision starts with rightly seeing God. So we are starting a series on the Theology of God and exploring his nature, character, and actions. This Sunday we will begin with the existence of God. Our faith is not a blind leap but rather firmly entrenched with compelling evidence and rational hope. And this faith and right vision of God provides answers to life's biggest questions.

To quote Pastor Andy Stanley, vision is a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction of what should be. But what makes vision distinctly Christian is that God is at the center of it. A God-ordained vision starts as a burden stirred up by God, eventually feels like a moral imperative given by God, and is always in alignment with God's Kingdom purposes. The reason why cultivating such vision is so important is because vision provides direction for life, protection against burnout, and motivation to make sacrifices.

Paul gives his final instructions and exhortations for this growing church. He enourages them to endeavor in prayer and to walk in wisdom. Lastly, he emphasizes the importance of community and teamwork as he recognizes his friends and partners in ministry.

The Apostle Paul wraps up his section on how the Gospel shapes households by addressing slaves and masters. In doing so, Paul is not endorsing the institution of slavery, but instructing Christians on how to faithfully operate within that pre-existing system while also subtly undermining the entire system itself. Through this passage, we see that regardless of our specific jobs, we are all ultimately working for the Lord. As such, we should work with integrity, excellence, and perseverance.
