So far, the disciples enjoyed a relationship with Jesus that was like any other they had known in the sense that they spent time with him, saw him, and heard him speak to them. But with all of that about to change, the makeup of their relationship would change as well. No longer would they have his presence or his audible voice to sustain their fri…

Saving faith necessarily fastens our lives to Christ.Par Compass Bible Church

Par Pastor Mike Elliott

This may seem like an abrupt change in subject for Jesus, but that’s only because we’ve been studying this in chunks. In the broader context, Jesus was continuing His conversation with His disciples in their final hours together before the cross. If you were to ask these men if they loved Jesus in that moment, all of them would undoubtedly have ans…

We must understand our Christian requirement to forgive, and God’s appeal for us to forgive willingly, sincerely, and fully as we are reconciled with our brothers and sisters in Christ.Par Compass Bible Church

Our next passage is one that beckons the disciple of Jesus into a deeper, bolder, bigger faith. As the band kept marching toward the cross, Jesus knew what lay ahead and the challenges they would face, so He moved to get them ready by inviting them to take their faith to the next level and to watch what God would do.…

We must understand our profound connection with each other because of our union with Christ.Par Compass Bible Church

Par Pastor Mike Elliott

In our passage this week, Jesus moves to comfort His disciples with the knowledge that though He was leaving, He would return. That return is something we still await today as we eagerly look to the fulfillment of this promise. In the meantime, John 14:1-7 provides three encouragements to the soul looking for Christ’s return.…

The God Who Hears: Finding Courage & Confidence in the Lord (Psalm 4) | Women's Bible Study | Bethany KelleyPar Compass Bible Church

Coming into the Upper Room no one would have questioned Peter’s loyalty to Jesus. In fact, he’ll even draw his sword to defend him in when the Jews come to arrest Him in the garden. So how are we to understand his denials? How does one go from pledging his life to his Savior to denying he ever had anything to do with him in just a matter of hours?…

Judas is gone, and with his departure there falls almost a sense of relief as Jesus now turns to the remaining eleven to prepare them for what lay ahead. In this next passage, the theme of God’s glory takes center stage. For us as followers of Jesus, God’s glory should take center stage in our lives as well through our worship, faith, and obedience…

A Life That's Blessed: Living Under the Rule of the Sovereign King (Psalm 2) | Women's Bible Study | Stephanie SchwartzPar Compass Bible Church

You know the scene: Jesus announces that someone will betray Him. John asks Him who it could be and the disciples look around, shocked at this new development. Quietly, Jesus reveals that it would be Judas. Satan enters into him, and he leaves, not to be seen again until a few hours later when he returns with the soldiers. The text is familiar, but…

Jesus has been the focus of the majority of our sermons in John, and rightly so. He’s the main character of the gospel! But, this week, I hope to show us how the Father has really been involved all along. Sometimes, we view the Father as distant or separate or angry or wrathful or cold or sterile, but in this passage, we’ll find that the message of…
