WHILE YOU HAVE THE LIGHT

John 12:27-36

January 25, 2026

Speaker: Pastor Mike

Next week: Pastor Dan

 

The Weight and the Wonder of the Purposes of God (John 12:27-30)

  • The Father has a purpose for Jesus and for us, bringing glory to God through both the wonderful and the difficult.

 

The Power and the Pull of the Cross of Christ (John 12:31-33)

  • The message of the cross is powerful, and the resulting pull is Jesus drawing people to himself. 

 

The Call and the Conduct of the Light of Life (John 12:34-36)

  • Jesus calls us to walk in the light and reflect Him to the world around us.

 

 Discussion Questions

  1. Where in my life right now does God’s purpose feel heavy, and what would it look like to trust that He can be glorified even there?
  2. When I look at the cross, do I see only suffering, or do I truly see the glory of God revealed there for me?
  3. Am I staying close enough to Jesus that His life and light are shaping the way I live each day?
  4. While the light is still among us, how is Jesus inviting me to shine with His light to the world around me?
