Johns Gospel uniquely shows the brilliant, creative teaching of Jesus, through the eyes of his disciples. Throughout the series, we will see how Jesus continually disrupts the cultural and religious barriers of the people around him by showing them Truth, Way and Life. What we will begin to see as we meditate on the Red Letters found in Johns Gospel, is that just below the surface, within the subtext, Joy overflows.

Where do you find purpose and mission? The disciples had experienced the “Oneness” of the Divine and man personally over...
For a little over 13 billion years, our Universe has been heading in one direction. Forward - our growing awareness of our shared humanity, our growing understanding of the relationship we are in with God, our deepening insight into the fragility of this beautiful planet, and our understanding that it...
