Summer Series: Exploring the Life of Jesus

This summer's focus is on investigating the life of Jesus, emphasizing John's Gospel message to believe in Him based on His miraculous signs. Delving into Jesus' self-identifications and miracles, the series aims to instill trust in His authority over sin, Satan, death, and hell, encouraging believers to deepen their faith and commitment to Jesus for a truly transformative life.

Remaining in Jesus

Drawing from John 15, the call to abide in Jesus is highlighted, emphasizing the analogy of Jesus as the vine and believers as branches. Stressing the importance of remaining in Christ to bear abundant fruit, the passage underscores the significance of staying connected to Jesus to achieve spiritual growth and efficacy.

Depicting the Prodigal Son Parable

Reflecting on the parable of the prodigal son from Luke 15, the narrative of a father's unconditional love toward his sons, portraying redemption and acceptance, evokes contemplation on embracing the abundant love and grace of God's household, moving beyond narratives of scarcity to fully experiencing God's enriching abundance.

Pursuing a Life of Greater Faith and Expectation

Exploring Jesus' commission to his disciples, including empowering them to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons, sparks reflection on the expectation of walking in spiritual power and faith. The call to elevate faith and consecration, evidenced through prayer and fasting, invites believers to a heightened anticipation of the supernatural in their walk with God.

Bearing Fruit through Obedience and Love

Highlighting the correlation between bearing fruit and abiding in God's love by obeying His commands, the concept of proving discipleship through righteous living is emphasized. Jesus exemplifies sacrificial love as the ultimate command, urging disciples to love sacrificially, reflecting divine love through selfless acts and the demonstration of the gospel in everyday life.
