Ever been to a party that went completely sideways? That's the Last Supper. Jesus washes feet, announces His betrayal, tells Peter he'll deny Him, and drops the bombshell He's leaving.

Then Judas asks: "Lord, why show yourself to us and not to the world?" Fair question. If Jesus is the Messiah, why not go big? Why not split the sky and silence the critics?

Jesus' response changes everything: "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them."

This isn't distant future hope. This is now. Father, Son, and Spirit, making His home in you through the Holy Spirit. The Spirit teaches us, applies God's Word to our lives, and brings a peace the world cannot give. Not inner calm or positive thinking, peace that transcends understanding. Peace that steadies you in hospital rooms, holds you in grief, anchors you when you're fragile, quietens anxiety at 2am.

This peace doesn't change your circumstances. Jesus comes to you in your chaos and walks every step with you. You are never alone.

What have you tried to bring peace to your life? How have those things failed?

Scripture: John 14:22-31

"Do you think I'm ever going to see her again?"

Standing in a hospital hallway after his wife's death, a grieving husband asked Paul the question that haunts us all. After decades together, suddenly she's gone. Suddenly he's alone. Will they ever be together again?

In our latest message from the "Revealing Jesus" series, Paul tackles the anxiety we all feel about death: our own and those we love. Drawing from John 13:36-14:7, where Jesus speaks His final words to His friends the night before His crucifixion, we discover four promises that change everything about how we face death.

• Promise 1: Jesus will be our forerunner. He's gone ahead to prepare a place for us
• Promise 2: Jesus will lead us there. We won't have to navigate death alone
• Promise 3: Jesus is the destination. Heaven is about being with Him, not just a place
• Promise 4: Jesus is the only way. No one comes to the Father except through Him

From Peter's bravado ("I'll lay down my life for you!") to Thomas's confusion ("We don't know where you're going!"), the disciples struggle to understand. But Jesus makes it crystal clear: "I am the way and the truth and the life."

This message confronts our contemporary "all roads lead to heaven" culture with Jesus' exclusive claim. It challenges our view of heaven as just paradise without pain, reminding us that heaven is first about a person before it's about a place. And it asks where we're really placing our trust when life falls apart.

Never Abandoned: God With Us and In Us | John 14:8-21

Ever feel spiritually orphaned? Like you're walking through life alone, wondering where God actually is?

Tim Anderson tackles Philip's simple but profound request: "Lord, show us the Father." What Jesus says next changes everything about how we understand God's presence in our lives.

Drawing from his own experience from losing both parents, Tim unpacks how Jesus promises we will never be abandoned. From Moses longing to see God's glory to the fulfillment of Ezekiel and Jeremiah's prophecies, we see God's plan unfold, not a distant deity, but a deeply personal Father who sent His Spirit to live in us.

It's the promise that sustained martyrs like St. Florian facing the flames and Thomas Cranmer under persecution. It's the same promise that carries us through hospital rooms, dark nights on the beach, and seasons when we feel spiritually dry.

If you've ever questioned whether God is really there, or struggled to feel His presence in hard seasons: you're not alone. The Spirit lives in you. And because Jesus lives, you also live.
