Fearless: John 13 - John 14:4

What a powerful challenge we have beginning in this sermon series "FEARLESS".

As we begin to reflect on the sermon series, in this post, please share initial reactions, challenges, and what you're taking away from this series. More blogs to come and more discussions to be had. We look forward to hearing your hearts!

After reading John 13:1-30 ...

1. Jesus knew Judas had already purposed in his heart to betray Him. What can we learn about being fearless from Jesus’ decision to wash Judas’s feet?

2. In verse 12 Jesus asks, “Do you know what I have done to you?” What did Jesus do to them? What has Jesus done to you?

After reading John 13:31- John 14:4:

Consider a time that you were lost - you didn't know where you were going. Were you scared? Were you alone? Did you panic or stay calm?

Now - if you have mentored someone, or know of someone who has, consider how it felt to train them and then watch them leave. Did they succeed? Do you think they will ever come back for advice?

3. NOW - How do you think Jesus felt when He said, “Where I am going you can not come?” How do you think the disciples felt? (remember they had spent every waking moment with Jesus for the past 3+ years)

Have a blessed week!

  1. 1. wow - a lot. Humility. Love. Fearless love. Jesus knew of Judas' betrayal, his decision to not love or follow any more. And yet Jesus washed this man's feet. He didn't kick him out. He walk on by. He didn't yell. He humbled Himself in love. When someone has wronged us...how do we respond? Do we kick them out, yell at them, or do we wash their feet? I have A LOT to learn from this one!
