There is nothing like fresh water to quench your thirst. Jesus makes a declaration in the first century about being the living water and that declaration echo's into today and this moment for each of us.
Jesus didn't fit in the constraints of the worlds system and He calls us to a life of the same. It means paying a cost but the destination and life promised will only serve to authenticate a better way, the only way.
This moment in the life of Jesus becomes a turning point in the life and ministry of Jesus. In the natural it seems like the beginning of the end but we know all too well it's the beginning of the beginning!
There are moments when Jesus says things that seem hard to swallow like, "eat my flesh and drink my blood." However, as we begin to understand that He's capitalizing on the symbolism of the moment to bring an eternal truth we find life instead of death.
There is a hunger and a thirst that exhibits itself in our lives in so many ways. We try to fill it, ignore it, or are driven and controlled by it; either way we cannot satisfy it. That is until we have a revelation of Jesus who shows Himself to be the answer to what we've been searching for.
Though we walk in faith we still feel the weight of the risk. It's only when we come to the conclusion that we don't have what it takes that we begin to see the ONE who does.
"Jesus won't multiply what we won't release". There is a principle at play with our next moments in the Gospel of John. The tighter we hold things the less potential there is for multiplication. But if we hold it loosely and offer it to Jesus the growth is exponential. ***Please note we are meeting In-Person at Evangel Church in Powell River, BC.

The fruit of the Spirit isn't the only "of the Spirit" we find in Scripture. There is also the gifts of the Spirit. We can sometimes get our focus out of step when it comes to laying the foundation of our lives. Today we're going to explore where our focus should start and circle back to.

We are taking a break from our "Gospel of John" series and entering a mini-series entitled: "Markers of Maturity". In this video Pastor Lucas helps us frame the conversation as we discover the fruit of the Spirit.
Though we would like to know the mechanics of everything eternal and get a peek behind the curtain to see how God works we are confronted with the mystery. But in pursuit of understanding the mystery let's not get distracted from the main thing. As we continue our series in John, Jesus makes some hard truth claims about both salvation and the end of days.

On the surface, we would all say we want to be healed but there is more to the question than what we see on the surface. As we look to the Healer in John's Gospel we find hope and a shift in our perspective.

So often we are looking for a sign that helps point the way. Today we explore the idea that Jesus Himself is that sign and all others only serve to point us to Him.
Jesus saves the party and is moved with compassion by the plight of a young couple. Not only is He moved with compassion but He responds with abundance.
We've probably all been asked the question "What are you seeking?" at one point in our life. It's an exisential question that we can find many answers to. But do all of those answers fulfill us and bring us a sense of belonging? Today as we continue our Gospel of John series, we hope to introduce you to Jesus. If you're a skeptic or a believer, you are welcome on this journey of seeking and finding. Will you consider Jesus in this search? He could change everything. As a reminder, we will be par...

John The Baptist was laser-focused on his mission to prepare the way for Jesus' ministry on this earth. Although he bumps up against some self-righteous attitudes along the way. Unfortunately, we have those same attitudes in us from time to time but we can wrestle them to the ground.
