From John 19 we learn that God uses death to give life, suffering to grant hope, and from the ashes of destruction comes beauty, peace and new life.

From John 19 we see that Jesus bore his own cross willingly, fulfilled the promise of scripture, and died as the true King in order to complete the work of salvation on the cross.

From John 19:1-16 we learn that Jesus overcame our shame. Enduring suffering and humiliation on our behalf, he reversed the curse of sin and shame on the cross.

As Jesus goes on trial in John 18:28-40, we learn that there are three kingdoms that seek to capture the affections and loyalty of our hearts: the kingdom of religion, the kingdom of the world, and the kingdom of Christ.

Preaching from John 18, Vince Oliveri reminds us, that like Peter, we are flawed and broken disciples who need a perfect Savior.

Even in the times where we are betrayed, we have a Savior who identifies with us. Preaching from John 18, Pastor Jesse Furey, reminds us of the cosmic battle that happened as Jesus was betrayed by one of his own disciples. 

We see that God's glory was the first thing for which Jesus prayed in John 17. Deep and lasting change start when we behold the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 

From John 17:6-19 we learn that in his last hours Jesus prayed that God would keep his disciples faithful, grant them joy, make them holy, and send them on mission.

In John 17 we learn that, even knowing what he knew about his disciples, Jesus prayed for perfect unity among his disciples and all who would believe the gospel because of their teaching.

In John 15:26-16:11, Jesus promises that the Spirit of God will abide with the disciples, bringing hope in the face of persecution.  The Holy Spirit enables us to love the world and oppose the world at the same time.
