Friendship with Jesus will put a target on your back. In our text for this weekend, Jesus warns His disciples that their association with Him will inevitably lead to hatred from the world. As with so much of what we’ve been studying in this series, Jesus was telling them these things to prepare them and equip them for what lay ahead. Nearly 2,000 y…

In our passage this week, Jesus calls His followers, “friends.” What an amazing thought, that you and I, if we are followers of Jesus, might be called friends by the Son of God! If you don’t know Jesus as friend but have only ever known him as Lord and Savior, Master and Creator, you are missing out on so much that God desires for you. John 15:12-1…

As we resume our study of John, we come to a metaphor for life in Christ. Through the image of the vine and the branches, Jesus will show us that if we want spiritual vitality, if we want to bear fruit, and if we want to live without guilt and condemnation and shame and feeling like we can’t do enough, we must be connected to Him.…

So far, the disciples enjoyed a relationship with Jesus that was like any other they had known in the sense that they spent time with him, saw him, and heard him speak to them. But with all of that about to change, the makeup of their relationship would change as well. No longer would they have his presence or his audible voice to sustain their fri…

Saving faith necessarily fastens our lives to Christ.Oleh Compass Bible Church

This may seem like an abrupt change in subject for Jesus, but that’s only because we’ve been studying this in chunks. In the broader context, Jesus was continuing His conversation with His disciples in their final hours together before the cross. If you were to ask these men if they loved Jesus in that moment, all of them would undoubtedly have ans…

We must understand our Christian requirement to forgive, and God’s appeal for us to forgive willingly, sincerely, and fully as we are reconciled with our brothers and sisters in Christ.Oleh Compass Bible Church

Our next passage is one that beckons the disciple of Jesus into a deeper, bolder, bigger faith. As the band kept marching toward the cross, Jesus knew what lay ahead and the challenges they would face, so He moved to get them ready by inviting them to take their faith to the next level and to watch what God would do.…

We must understand our profound connection with each other because of our union with Christ.Oleh Compass Bible Church

In our passage this week, Jesus moves to comfort His disciples with the knowledge that though He was leaving, He would return. That return is something we still await today as we eagerly look to the fulfillment of this promise. In the meantime, John 14:1-7 provides three encouragements to the soul looking for Christ’s return.…

The God Who Hears: Finding Courage & Confidence in the Lord (Psalm 4) | Women's Bible Study | Bethany KelleyOleh Compass Bible Church

Coming into the Upper Room no one would have questioned Peter’s loyalty to Jesus. In fact, he’ll even draw his sword to defend him in when the Jews come to arrest Him in the garden. So how are we to understand his denials? How does one go from pledging his life to his Savior to denying he ever had anything to do with him in just a matter of hours?…
