This Sunday we will dig into John 15:18-16:15, as we continue in our Upper Room series.  This text is all about how “Jesus Prepares Us For The Journey.” 

We are all on a journey, a pilgrimage, as we walk through life.  We are not home yet…we are on our way home.  Along the way, we will face persecution.  Jesus has much to say about that in this text.  We also must be filled with the Spirit – we dare not attempt to make this journey in our own strength.  Jesus has much to say about that in this text, as well. 

Isn’t the Upper Room discourse rich?  I am blown away each week by what I am learning and trying to impart to you! 

Again, on behalf of our whole family, Melissa and I want to thank you for the many expressions of love surrounding our 10^th Anniversary at FBC.  It was a wonderful celebration, and so many of you worked so hard to make it special.  We are deeply grateful, and so excited for the years to come!  We love serving the King with you…  

By His Grace, For His Glory, To The Nations,
