    August 9, 2026 - John 10:22-42 - "Jesus Is The Christ"

    How often do we demand more proof from God when He has already given us everything we need to believe? In week 28 of our series through the Gospel of John, Lead Pastor Dr. Scott Hood takes us to the Feast of Dedication. The religious leaders corner Jesus and demand that He tell them plainly if He is the Christ. What follows is Jesus' final, definitive public defense of His identity before He withdraws from His public ministry. This week, we look at the undeniable proof of who Jesus is and the absolute security of His followers through five key points: Jesus exposes the unbelief of the Jews (v.24-26): Showing that their refusal to believe wasn't due to a lack of evidence, but because they simply were not part of His flock. Jesus shares the benefits of being a sheep (v.27-29): The incredible, comforting promise of eternal security—the guarantee that once you are in the Father's hand, nothing can ever snatch you away. Jesus is equal with God the Father (v.30-31): His bold, unmistakable declaration that "I and the Father are one," which immediately prompts the hostile crowd to reach for stones. Scripture cannot be broken (v.32-39): How Jesus brilliantly uses the Old Testament to defend His divine mission and affirm the flawless, unbreakable authority of God's Word. Jesus concludes His public ministry (v.40-42): Stepping away from the violence of Jerusalem and returning across the Jordan, where many still sought Him out and placed their true faith in Him.

    August 2, 2026 - John 10:1-21 - "Jesus Is The Good Shepherd"

    In a noisy world full of competing voices and false leaders, how do you know who to follow? In week 27 of our series through the Gospel of John, Lead Pastor Dr. Scott Hood unpacks one of the most beautiful and intimate metaphors in all of Scripture. Jesus contrasts Himself with the self-serving religious elite, declaring Himself to be the Good Shepherd who deeply knows, fiercely protects, and ultimately dies for His flock. This week, we explore the incredible security we have in Christ's care through four key points: His voice is knowable and trustable (v.1-6): The intimate relationship between the Shepherd and the sheep, and the safety found in learning to recognize and follow His voice above all others. He is the only door of hope (v.7-10): Jesus is the exclusive gateway to salvation, offering us a rich and abundant life in stark contrast to the thieves who come only to steal, kill, and destroy. He lays down His life (v.11-18): The profound difference between a hired hand who runs from danger and the Good Shepherd who willingly, voluntarily sacrifices Himself out of love for His sheep. He will be debated (v.19-21): The inevitable division that Christ's radical claims create among the crowd, challenging every person to decide whose voice they will truly listen to.

    July 26, 2026 - John 9:1-41 - "Jesus And The Man Born Blind"

    When we encounter suffering, our first instinct is often to look for someone to blame. But what if God wants to use that exact brokenness to put His glory on display? In week 26 of our series through the Gospel of John, Lead Pastor Dr. Scott Hood walks us through an incredible encounter between Jesus and a man who had been blind since birth. While the disciples look for a theological explanation for the man's suffering, Jesus simply steps in and heals him. However, this miraculous display of grace immediately sparks a heated interrogation from the religious elite. This week, we explore the stark contrast between physical sight and spiritual blindness through three key points: The Miracle (v.1-12): Jesus confounds the disciples' assumptions about suffering and graciously gives sight to a man who had lived his entire life in the dark. The Controversy (v.13-34): The religious leaders put the healed man and his parents on trial, proving they are more blinded by their rigid traditions and pride than the man ever was by his physical condition. The Meaning (v.35-41): Jesus tracks down the now-excommunicated man to reveal His true identity, showing us that physical sight is just a picture of the spiritual sight and salvation we all desperately need.

    July 19, 2026 - John 8:48-59 - Before Abraham

    How do people react when Jesus makes His most audacious claim yet? In week 25 of our series through the Gospel of John, guest teacher Mark Shaddix leads us through the explosive conclusion of John chapter 8. The tension between Jesus and the religious leaders finally reaches a boiling point, moving from intense debate to an outright threat of violence. This text culminates in one of the most profound and unmistakable declarations of Christ's eternal identity in all of Scripture. This week, we unpack this climactic confrontation through three key points: Hostility & Unbelief (v.48-53): The religious leaders resort to personal attacks and insults, unable to comprehend Jesus' promise that those who keep His word will never see spiritual death. Glory & Rejoicing (v.54-56): Jesus clarifies that He does not seek His own glory but is glorified by the Father, revealing the incredible truth that Abraham himself looked forward to and rejoiced to see His day. Infinite & Eternal (v.57-59): The shocking climax where Jesus takes the divine name of God, declaring "Before Abraham was, I am," proving His absolute, eternal deity and sparking a violent reaction from the crowd.

    July 12, 2026 - John 8:31-47 - True Disciples Abide In The Word

    What does it truly mean to be free? In week 24 of our series through the Gospel of John, Lead Pastor Dr. Scott Hood unpacks one of Jesus' most famous teachings on truth and freedom. Speaking to a group of people who claimed to believe in Him, Jesus challenges their understanding of faith, exposing the reality that true discipleship requires a deep, ongoing commitment to His Word. This week, we explore the stark contrast between spiritual freedom and spiritual slavery through five key points: Only Believers can abide (v.31): True faith isn't a one-time intellectual agreement; it is a continuing, everyday reliance on the teachings of Christ. Abiding leads to knowing and knowing leads to freedom (v.32): The beautiful promise that as we immerse ourselves in His Word, we discover the truth that sets us totally free. Sin leads to slavery (v.33-38): The sobering reality that anyone who makes a practice of sin is bound to it, unable to free themselves without the Son. Genealogy never saves (v.39-46): Why our family history, religious background, or moral heritage cannot rescue us—only a genuine relationship with God can. Only believers can hear (v.47): The ultimate test of our spiritual condition is whether or not we have the ears and the heart to receive the words of God.

    July 5, 2026 - John 8:12-30 - I Can See Clearly Now

    What does it mean to walk in true spiritual light rather than stumbling in the dark? In week 23 of our series through the Gospel of John, Lead Pastor Dr. Scott Hood explores another of Jesus' famous "I Am" statements. Speaking in the temple treasury during a festival that featured massive, blazing torches, Jesus boldly declares that He is the true Light of the World. This sparks an intense debate with the Pharisees about His identity, His origins, and where He is ultimately going. This week, we look at the life-changing clarity Christ brings to a dark world through three key points: Jesus Is The Light Of The World (v.12): The profound promise that those who follow Him will no longer walk in darkness, but will possess the light of life. Jesus Came From Heaven (v.13-20): How Jesus defends His divine authority, confirming that His testimony is completely true because of His perfect unity with God the Father. Jesus Offers Heaven (v.21-30): The urgent reality that eternal life is available to us, but it requires us to truly believe in who He is to be saved from our sins.

    June 28, 2026 - John 7:53-8:11 - Questions From A Questionable Text

    It is one of the most famous stories in the Bible: a woman caught in adultery, an angry mob with stones in hand, and Jesus writing in the dirt. But did you know this well-known passage is also one of the most debated texts in Scripture? In week 22 of our series through the Gospel of John, Lead Pastor Dr. Scott Hood tackles John 7:53-8:11. Because many of the earliest manuscripts do not include these specific verses, it raises important questions about how we view and trust the Bible. At the same time, this text delivers a profound, undeniable picture of Jesus' radical grace and perfect justice. This week, we unpack the history and the heart of this passage by asking five crucial questions: Is This Scripture?: Addressing the textual history of this passage and why we can still confidently trust the Bible we hold in our hands today. Why Just The Woman?: Highlighting the blatant hypocrisy of the religious leaders who brought the woman to Jesus while conveniently leaving the guilty man behind. Is Adultery The Unpardonable Sin?: Exploring the gravity of sexual sin, while celebrating the truth that no sin is beyond the reach of God's forgiveness. Do You Have To Be Sinless To Judge?: Unpacking Jesus' famous statement, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone," and what it actually teaches about self-righteousness. Does Sin Bring Condemnation?: The beautiful balance of Christ's response: offering absolute grace ("Neither do I condemn you") alongside a clear, loving call to holiness ("Go and sin no more").

    June 21, 2026 - John 7:32-52 - Believe in Jesus the Christ and Bless Others

    Where do you turn when your soul is completely parched? In week 21 of our series through the Gospel of John, Pastor Dr. Scott Hood explores the climax of the Feast of Booths. As the religious leaders actively plot to arrest Him, Jesus stands up in the middle of the crowd and offers a powerful, open invitation to anyone who is thirsty. Yet, His bold claims cause a massive divide among the people. This week, we look at the life-giving promise of the Holy Spirit and the polarizing nature of Jesus' identity through three key points: Not believing hurts you and others (v.32-36): The tragic reality of rejecting Christ, and the sobering ripple effect our unbelief has on those around us. Drink deeply from the well that never runs dry (v.37-39): Jesus' incredible promise that those who believe in Him will not only have their own spiritual thirst quenched, but will overflow with "rivers of living water" to bless others. Is Jesus the prophet, the Christ, the offspring, or the deceiver? (v.40-52): The crowd's divided response to His teaching, forcing every single one of us to answer the ultimate question of who we truly believe He is.
