Do we see everything as clearly as we think we do? Jesus is the illuminating presence of God. He can give sight to the blind! But his light also exposes our blindness.

In today’s message we once again see Jesus in a lengthy discussion with the crowds, a discussion that gets very heated and ends with the crowd wanting to kill Jesus. In this message from Tom Scrivens we’ll see Jesus making the clearest declaration yet as to his true identity and the claim that he makes to have come to bring freedom from slavery.

We all have mess in our lives. Depending on what you believe, you might call that sin. What does Jesus say & do in response to our mess? Tom Scrivens continues our series in the gospel of John as we see Jesus come face to face with a messy situation.

Jesus declared "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink" and in doing so there was much division about who Jesus was, some followed him and some hated him. In this message, Tim Virgo unpacks how Jesus is the one who can quench our thirst.

With him having just performed a miracle, feeding 1000s of people, the crowds flock around Jesus. Jesus sees the motive of their hearts - they don't want him, they want what he can offer. Tom Scrivens unpacks this tough passage, where Jesus gives some teaching that the crowds find hard to hear and eventually all but a few of Jesus followers leave him.
