This week on the Glow Up, Gyrl podcast, we're joined by former football player and Mappineering Mentor, John Diggs, for a powerful conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the power of mindset. After finding himself homeless and fractured following the 2008 mortgage crisis, John turned his pain into purpose by pioneering a unique form of mind mapping called Mappineering. Through this practice, he rebuilt his life, created life systems that work, and began empowering others to do the same. Now the founder of the “I AM” method, author, and mentor, John shares his incredible journey, how mind mapping can transform the way we approach life and goals, and why structure and vision are critical for personal growth.

What does spiritual warfare look like in every day life? Are you currently living in a season when it feels like there is an agenda that is opposing everything you're trying to accomplish? In today's podcast, discover a simplified definition of spiritual warfare, what it might look like in your everyday life, and how to respond to it effectively. Stephen Mizell is joined by Chris Rexroad and Wendy Korbusieski as we look at a passage from John 7:1-30.
Have you ever walked away from the Eucharist—or known someone who has? In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer dives into a haunting moment in Scripture: John 6:66—a verse where many of Jesus' disciples turn away, unable to accept His teaching on the Real Presence in the Eucharist. The symbolism of 666 is hard to ignore, especially when it reflects the spiritual battle so many face. Fr. Meyer invites us to reflect, repent, and pray for those who have stepped away from the Mass or the belief in the Eucharist. Whether it's you, your children, your friends, or someone you love—this is a call to return to Jesus and His saving gift in the Blessed Sacrament.
In this lecture, Don Carson discusses John 11, focusing on Jesus's delayed response to Lazarus's illness and subsequent death. Carson highlights the irony in this account, illustrating how Jesus's actions reveal his sovereignty over death and his role as the resurrection and the life, ultimately pointing to his future sacrifice. Carson reflects on the broader implications of Jesus's death and resurrection, underscoring the fulfillment of God's plan for salvation.He teaches the following:Why understanding Jesus's claim as the resurrection and the life requires seeing it in the context of unfolding ironyHow Jesus demonstrated his love by delaying his response to Lazarus's deathThe narrative framework highlights Jesus's love for Martha, Mary, and LazarusThe mixed responses to Jesus's actions from the Jewish audienceThe fulfillment of Caiaphas's prophecy reveals that Jesus's death is also for the scattered children of GodJesus's resurrection power has an ongoing impact, both in individual lives and in future resurrection on the last day

I Am: The Way Truth and Life - John 14:1-6 by South Sub Church
At some point every one of us confronts a series of related questions of enormous consequence: How do I find and fulfill the central purpose of my life? What am I specifically supposed to be doing with my time? How should I go about making potentially life-altering decisions? When I ask God for wisdom or direction, how do I know that it's actually God speaking and not just wishful thinking on my part? And what if I make the wrong decision?

What happens when Jesus shows up in the middle of your everyday life? In this special Easter Sunday message, Lead Pastor John Lindell shares how Jesus shows up in our everyday moments to walk with us, reveal His purpose, respond to our invitation, and transform our lives. Through the story of the road to Emmaus, we're reminded that when Jesus draws near, everything changes.
This Easter Sunday, Pastor Mike explores a famous interaction Jesus had with the religious leaders of his day. Right at it's heart Jesus affirms, that He is the bread of life and that all who come to him will live.
Title: Jesus Is the Resurrection and the LifeMain Text: John 11:1-44Key Points:The Setup: Lazarus' Sickness and DeathJesus delays responding to Lazarus' sickness not out of neglect but to reveal God's glory (John 11:4, 15).Sometimes God's greatest miracles are hidden inside our waiting.Jesus Meets Us Where We AreMartha approaches Jesus intellectually (“I know he will rise at the last day”)—Jesus gives her truth.Mary approaches Jesus emotionally—Jesus responds with compassion (John 11:35, “Jesus wept”).Jesus isn't intimidated by your questions or crushed by your emotions—He meets you exactly where you are.The Resurrection Is Personal and PresentJesus doesn't just promise resurrection one day—He says, “I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25)Eternal life doesn't start after death—it starts the moment you believe.The Miracle Beyond LazarusThe miracle wasn't simply that Lazarus lived longer—it's that Jesus displayed His power over death itself.Jesus isn't just offering more time—He offers eternity.Take Off the Grave ClothesLazarus comes out alive, but still bound (John 11:44).What "grave clothes" are still wrapping you up? Fear, shame, bitterness, sin?Jesus calls us to freedom—new life, new identity, new hope.You Are Now People of the ResurrectionRomans 6:4-5: We were buried with Him and raised to live a new life.2 Corinthians 5:17: The old is gone, the new has come.Final Challenge:Are you living like you've been raised with Christ? Or are you still wearing grave clothes that He's already told you to leave behind?

All Things New: An Invitation to Hope, Restoration, and Life (John 20) - Rev. Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard Summary: In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Donnell Wyche invites the congregation into the heart of the resurrection story—not just as a historical event, but as an unfolding promise. Drawing from John 20, he weaves together the emotional power of personal remembrance, the cosmic implications of Jesus' resurrection, and the deep yearning we each carry for renewal. The story of Mary at the tomb becomes a powerful symbol of recognition and restoration, where Jesus, mistaken as the gardener, is revealed as the firstborn of a new creation. Pastor Donnell challenges us to see ourselves in this story—to remember who has loved us into being, and to believe that even in our grief, doubt, or despair, God is present and active. Throughout the sermon, he speaks to those who feel abandoned, cynical, or weary—those who have given up on faith, sobriety, relationships, or themselves. Using metaphors like the potter and the clay from Jeremiah 18, Pastor Donnell emphasizes that God does not discard us when we resist or falter. Instead, God reshapes us, breathing new life into what we thought was lost. The resurrection, he reminds us, is not a divine do-over but a bold declaration that nothing is beyond redemption. The promise of Easter is that God is making all things new—not all new things—redeeming rather than replacing. In closing, Pastor Donnell calls each listener to respond: What have you abandoned that God still wants to redeem? Whether your faith feels strong or faint, whether you are hopeful or skeptical, the invitation of Easter is the same—Jesus is alive, and he is still making all things new. That includes you. This sermon is a stirring call to remember, to hope, and to believe that the worst thing is never the last thing when Jesus has the final word.

He is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed! That's what Christians say to one another on Easter Sunday. But is Easter more than reciting the historical truths of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus? Is Christianity simply understanding and acknowledging those things that happened, or something more? Let's explore what Jesus says about life, death, & resurrection!

On this Palm Sunday we're looking at the place where Jesus called himself the good shepherd and the implications for us.
Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we are taking a short break this week to celebrate Easter with some special devotionals aimed at preparing our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is John 12:12-13 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” — John 12:12-13 The Moment Everything Changed Every great story has a moment where everything shifts—a decision, a revelation, or an event that changes the course of history. For all of humanity, that moment was the week Jesus entered Jerusalem. Imagine the scene. Crowds flood the streets, waving palm branches, shouting, “Hosanna!” They believe their long-awaited Messiah has come to overthrow Rome and establish His kingdom. They expect a warrior on a warhorse. But instead, they see a man riding a donkey—a symbol of peace. This was God's plan unfolding, but not in the way anyone expected. The people wanted a political savior; Jesus came as the Lamb of God, destined for a cross. They shouted for a king, but in a matter of days, those same voices would cry, “Crucify Him!” This wasn't just a parade. It was a collision of expectations and reality, a moment that revealed who Jesus truly was. The Unexpected King Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem wasn't just fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 9:9)—it was a defining moment. It forced the world to make a decision: Would they follow Jesus for who He truly was, or reject Him because He wasn't what they wanted? We face the same choice today. We love a Jesus who blesses us, who comforts us, who answers our prayers the way we want. But what happens when He challenges us? What happens when His plan doesn't match our expectations? True faith doesn't follow Jesus because of what He might do—it follows Him because of who He is. Is Jesus Lord of My Life? The crowd cheered for Jesus when it was popular—but they turned on Him when it became inconvenient. Many today do the same. It's easy to praise Jesus when He aligns with our desires, but what about when He calls us to surrender, to trust, to follow at a cost? Following Christ means letting go of our version of the story and trusting His. He is not just a king; He is THE King—the one who rules with righteousness, grace, and truth. If you've never made the decision to follow Jesus, today is your moment. He's not just a good teacher or a historical figure—He is the Savior who gave His life for you. Just like the crowds in Jerusalem, we all have a choice. Will we embrace Him as Lord, or will we turn away when His plan challenges us? Jesus came not to meet our expectations, but to meet our greatest need—forgiveness and new life. He died on the cross for our sins and rose again, proving He is the way, the truth, and the life. If you're ready to surrender and trust Him fully, pray this: "Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I confess my sin and my need for You. I surrender my life to You as my Lord and Savior. Lead me, and help me follow You with all my heart. Amen." If you prayed that, let someone know! Don't walk this journey alone. Find a Bible-believing church, dive into God's Word with me right here every day, and keep growing in faith. #EasterDevotional, #JesusIsKing, #PalmSunday ASK THIS: How do my expectations of Jesus compare to who He really is? Am I following Jesus for blessings or because He is Lord? How do I respond when Jesus' plan challenges my desires? What does it mean for me to surrender my life to Jesus fully? DO THIS: Surrender your expectations and fully trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior today. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I surrender my expectations and trust in You as my King. Help me follow You fully, even when Your plan challenges my own. Amen. PLAY THIS: Hosanna.

Love and Life (John 3:16, Apr 6th 2025) by Sovereign Grace Church
Title: Jesus Is the Way, the Truth, and the LifeMain Text: John 14:1-7, 16-19, 25-27; Romans 8:15-16Key Points:Jesus Brings Comfort in the Face of FearOn the night before His crucifixion, Jesus comforts His disciples rather than seeking comfort Himself.“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” (John 14:1)The remedy for a troubled heart? Faith.The Deep Longing for HomeJesus says He's preparing a place in His Father's house.Our souls crave belonging, safety, and unconditional love—and Jesus fulfills that longing.Jesus Is the Way to the Father“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)Through Jesus, we not only gain knowledge of God but a personal connection with the Father.The Gift of the Holy SpiritJesus promises the Spirit will live in us—“The Holy Spirit inside you is better than Jesus beside you.”The Spirit brings peace, guidance, and reminds us of what Jesus taught (John 14:26-27).Adopted as God's ChildrenRomans 8:15–16 shows that we've been adopted, and we can cry out “Abba, Father.”The Spirit assures us that we belong—not based on performance, but on love and grace.Final Reflection:Are you living as if you're truly loved by the Father? Or are you still trying to earn what Jesus already secured for you?
Brent Thomas in Week 51 of the Behold The Lamb series Through John 15:1-17, A life of true fruitfulness can only be achieved by remaining fully dependent on and connected to Jesus Christ, the True Vine. To live a fruitful life, it is essential to be regularly cultivated, constantly connected, joyfully obedient, and sacrificially loving. By abiding in Christ, we experience His discipline, joy, and love, resulting in a life that bears lasting fruit.
In this urgent and uncompromising message called “We Preach Christ“, Dr. Michael Youssef calls the Church to return to the foundational truth that Jesus Christ is the only Way, Truth, and Life (John 14:6). Emphasizing the mission of Leading The Way and Kingdom Sat, he warns against cultural compromises, the rebranding of Jesus, and the dilution of the Gospel. Citing 2 Corinthians 4:4–5, he affirms, “We do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord.” From Genesis to Revelation, Christ is the central figure—Savior, Judge, and reigning King. Dr. Youssef exhorts all to repent, believe, and proclaim the biblical Christ without shame, urging hearers worldwide to bow the knee to Him now, for there is no salvation apart from Christ alone.
