What does it look like when gospel renewal is forged through suffering and planted in the heart of a global city? In this conversation, Esteban Valenzuela, pastor of Raíces Madrid Evangelical Christian Church, shares his remarkable story of personal transformation, perseverance through false accusation, and the sovereign call of God that led him and his family to Madrid, Spain.Mike Neglia and Esteban talk about the power of gospel renewal — not just as a theological concept, but as a lived reality. Esteban reminds us that the gospel is the cornerstone of Scripture and the Christian life, and warns against shallow repetition of gospel language without depth or clarity.

"The Way, The Truth, and The Life" – Power and Promise In this message, Pastor Matt explores Jesus' declaration in John 14:6: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Set during Jesus' final moments with His disciples before His crucifixion, this sermon reveals how Jesus used Jewish wedding customs to illustrate His relationship with believers. Just as a Jewish bridegroom would prepare a place for his bride and return for her, Jesus promises to prepare heavenly dwellings for His followers and come back for them. Key Insights: * Jesus doesn't just show us a path—He IS the destination * Christianity isn't about religious performance but about "knowing, growing, and walking closer with Jesus, our eternal Savior" * From our first breath of faith to our final earthly moment, our relationship with Christ should be growing more intimate * Jesus patiently addresses His disciples' confusion and questions, showing us how He meets us in our uncertainty Key Scripture: John 14 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.14.NIV) This message concludes with an invitation for believers who haven't yet been baptized to take this first step of obedience in their Christian walk. As Jesus tells His troubled disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." Whether you're new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message will deepen your understanding of what it truly means to follow Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

As we enter this season of Lent, this episode helps us to see the incredible value of studying the Upper Room Discourse. 

In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley explores the profound teachings of the Upper Room Discourse, focusing on the role of the Holy Spirit, the command to love God and one another, and the importance of experiencing peace and joy in Christ. He emphasizes the necessity of obedience to God's commands as a demonstration of love, the significance of community in the body of Christ, and the call to bear fruit as true disciples. The message encourages believers to rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance and to embrace the challenges of faith, including the potential for hatred from the world. Michael originally taught ‘Lessons on Love and Obedience from John 13-16' at Immanuel Bible Church.

"The Upper Room Discourse - Part 3" - Adult Discipleship Lesson by Anthony Delucia - John 15:1-27

Here we see Jesus carrying His people on His shoulders into this holy conversation with the Father to make sacrifice and pray on their behalf.

Jesus' teaching on the True Vine is at the heart of the Upper Room Discourse, his final words to his disciples before going to the cross. This Sunday, Ps Josh Kelsey explored 7 keys to abiding in God's love and being connected to the true source of life.

In this week's message on the Upper Room Discourse, we explored the promise of the Holy Spirit given by Jesus to the disciples. The Holy Spirit is an advocate, intercessor, strengthener, and comforter who is not just for the apostles of the Bible, but can transform our lives today. This Sunday, Pastor Amy Perez walked us through John 14 and unpacked the ways in which the Spirit relates to the world, to you, and to God.

-Upper Room Discourse Part 1- - Adult Discipleship Series leading to Resurrection Sunday - by Pastor Paul Frey - John 13

-  Jesus is preparing His disciples for His death -  Let's the disciples know that the world will hate them because it hates Him -  We were reminded that we are to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us

In looking at the story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet, we understand that God is someone to be trusted with our whole hearts and minds. When he had the ability and authority to do anything he desired, Jesus chose to come down low and wash the feet of those who followed him. In this picture of cleanliness and salvation, Pastor Ryan begins our Upper Room Discourse series by giving us three points on how through Jesus' actions we see that God is someone to be trusted.

We've seen love communicated and displayed often in the last couple chapters of John. Jesus loves the disciples to the end, we are told to love the Father and the Son, we are told to love and serve one another. Today we're going to see some hate.

The best news you didn't want to hear” Can you Imagine, (maybe you've been in a situation)  Where a loved one was soon to pass they motion you to come close, they have one last thing to say.

The beauty of the Trinity on Display - Father, Son, and Spirit. Heavy Focus on Jesus. Love and obedience (Obedience motivated by Love) God sees the inward not the outward.  

Have you ever had a troubled heart because someone told you you were just going to mess things up, or because of some behavior that makes you frequently miss the mark, Or even more serious, because the Holy Spirit is convicting you of something you don't want to let go of? How do we avoid those pitfalls? The answer is UNITY with God.

Jesus is Displaying before his disciples what Love looks like, it is others focused and moves one to action. Today in an almost opposite point to be made Jesus will express that "actions" can be done with wrong motives and intentions,  I.E. - Judas and his betrayal, Peter and his denial of Christ.

With our theme of “Vision” I could not think of a better section of scripture to go through. We are going to see Jesus serve, teach, prepare, warn, pray, and love His disciples to the very end. The very Word of God will speak and we will get to take it all in. We will learn directly from the Master Himself what His vision for the church and the individual believer is.
