John

Friendship with Jesus is a devotional on John 15:12-17 exploring what it means to be a friend of Jesus over six days. We look at the privileges and responsibilities that come with this relationship.


Friendship With Jesus

Jesus took time to prepare His disciples for the impending rejection that they would face because of following Him. He not only explained why they would be persecuted but also promised them an Advocate who would be with them after He had left. His Words provide perspective and encouragement as we seek to be faithful when we face opposition.

Enduring Rejection: Reflecting on John 15:18-16:15

Jesus declared, “I am the Light of the world…light that leads to life” John 8:12. As you daily read, meditate, and apply God’s Word, you will be better equipped to detect the enemy’s artificial lights, remain on God’s path, and shine for Christ in your home and community.

LIGHT - Drawn to Life by the Irresistible Light

Near the end of his life, John was the last of the living apostles and wrote a story about Jesus. It’s his testimony of who Jesus is, what he said, what he did, and who he claimed to be. Jesus has a story. He invites us to make it our story. When we make Jesus’s story our story, we have life in his name. This plan focuses on Jesus predicting his death in John 12. It is part of an ongoing series through John.  

The Last Apostle | John 12: Glory to God

On the night he was betrayed, Jesus humbly washed the feet of each of his disciples. The Gospel of John uses seven key words to describe the scene. Learn how these seven words anticipate the entire ministry of Jesus, from his incarnation, to his death on the cross, and finally, to his glorious resurrection!

What Does Jesus Pray For Us?

This five day devotional is geared towards helping you to engage with scripture in quiet reflection. We encourage you to set apart intentional time for each session, as well as extended time to journal your experience (if you are able). Feel free to use written meditation or the accompanying audio.

Walking With Jesus

Hours before his execution, Jesus grabbed his disciples’ attention with a towel and a bowl of water. He knows they will all desert or betray him, yet he serves in humility and provides a new vision of leadership. This plan will help you meditate deeply on John 13:1-20 and consider its implications for Christ-shaped leadership in a global context.

Christ-Shaped Servant Leadership: Reflecting on John 13:1-20

Are you or someone you know going through a transition in ministry? Jesus’ discussion of his impending departure left the disciples troubled and with many questions. How he reassures and equips them provides valuable insights about a leader’s role in ensuring ministry continuity.
