John 18:15-40
Why did Jesus have to die? One of the charges brought against Jesus is his claim to be king.

What does it look like for Jesus to be king of our lives, and where do we encounter the same hesitancy?
John 18:1-11
Why did Jesus have to die? There are several answers the Bible gives to that question, but in John’s Gospel we discover two images that help explain the significance of the cross. In John 18, we’re told that Jesus went to the cross to drink the cup his Father gave him. What was that cup, and what does it mean for us and our relationship with God?

John 17 closes out Jesus' farewell discourse with one final prayer for his followers. He asks God to keep them, protect them, and purify them but above all -- make them one. How can we as the church today value and practice unity the way Jesus prays in the high priestly prayer?

John 14:1-14
The night before his death, Jesus tells his disciples to not let their hearts be troubled. But how were they supposed to find comfort with everything falling apart all around them.

Description: The night before Jesus’ died, he stooped down and washed his disciples’ feet. Why would he do this? Ultimately, he was trying to teach a point about the significance of his death, and he was setting an example for us to follow.
