Jesus is in charge and He’s always been in charge and that is a take home for us in our own lives as well. He’s in charge! He’s the Lord. Jesus knows all that is going to happen to Him.

Questions - Week 8: Is Jesus Christ Coming Again?

Two Year Gospel Study Week 100
Awake Us Now
The Gospel of John Week 22 Scripture: John 17:1-21. Pastor starts today’s class off with an interesting observation. The other three gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke mention the prayers of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, but John does not.
