Chald Balthrop • John 4:21:39
What are you looking for?
There’s a simple truth that’s easy to forget. Generally, people find what they’re looking for. Where you expect to find kindness, kindness is often found. Where you look for disappointment, disappointment is easy to see. When you don’t like what you see, look a little deeper. Shift your focus. God is working powerfully right here, right now, giving us the right hope because He is the right source with the right plan, providing the right amount to move us to the right focus to help us live the right kind of life.
The answers you seek are right in front of you. Right now. As you learn to live all of life, all for Jesus.

Chris Wall • John 4:1-6
The woman at the well is a fascinating reminder for us to see the world like Jesus. The disciples are busy making preparation for ministry all the while missing the real ministry right in front of them. Jesus engages this woman who was broken, lost, but still deeply loved by God. In this passage, you see the urgency of Christ to bring salvation to the entire world. We are called to notice the harvest right in front of us. Jesus came bringing salvation to the world. His plan to deliver that message is by the Holy Spirit through witnesses. We are the witnesses called to notice people and share the message of salvation to others.

Chris Wall • John 20:11-16
The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. It is revolutionary. It transforms our perspective and defines our mission. It brings a radical shift in the life of every person who comes to faith in the power of this good news. What is your mission? How has the empty tomb influenced you?

Chris Wall • John 19:16-37
In this passage, John highlights four direct messianic prophecies that took place on thecross completely outside of the prophets control. Christ completed the work ofredemption on the cross. In verse 30, Jesus says, “It is finished” or “It has beenaccomplished”. On the cross, the penalty of sin has been completely served. The priceof redemption is completely paid. The justice of God is completely satisfied. Thedeliverance of sinners is completely secured. You can be confident in who Jesus is. Youcan be confident in what He has done. You can be confident in what He is doing. It ispassion week – who will you point to Jesus this week?

Chris Wall • John 18-28:40
The suffering Jesus reveals several important truths we must not miss. It reveals the wickedness of our sin. It speaks to our inability to stand rightly before God in our own power. The mistreatment of Jesus reveals the graciousness of God as He was willing to take on Himself the punishment we deserve. In this passage, you also see an important human tendency shared by all people: this natural tendency to reject God and His plan for us. Our human nature is inherently sinful and because of this sin, we want to live in control of our own lives and our own destiny. In all honesty, the greatest threat and most significant problem for every person born into this world is lostness. The cruelty of the cross offers a vivid picture of the nastiness and devastation of sin. Every person born desperately needs to be changed from the outside in. This is a work of God, not a work of man which has been proclaimed to the world, even from the mouths of fools.
