After the resurrection, Jesus had every reason to prove Himself to the world. Instead, He pursued people.

In this Easter message, Ted Coniaris walks through three post-resurrection encounters in John’s Gospel—Mary, Thomas, and Peter—to reveal the heart of Jesus. He meets Mary in her grief, Thomas in his doubt, and Peter in his shame. And in each moment, we see the same truth: Jesus doesn’t wait for people to have it all together—He moves toward them.

This message is for anyone carrying:

• Grief that feels overwhelming
• Doubt that won’t go away
• Shame that says you’re disqualified

The resurrection isn’t just about what Jesus accomplished—it’s about who He’s pursuing.

Key Scripture: John 20:11–18; John 20:24–29; John 21:15–19

Big Idea: After accomplishing the greatest feat in history, Jesus doesn’t just try to prove the resurrection—He pursues people.

Whether you’re exploring faith, returning after a long time, or looking for hope this Easter, this message invites you to consider that Jesus knows your name—and He’s moving toward you.

Right before the cross, Jesus prayed for you.

In this powerful final message from the Gospel of John series, Chris Nichols unpacks John 17:20–26, where Jesus prays not just for His first disciples—but for all who would follow Him.

His focus? Not success. Not influence. But unity.

In a culture built on division and outrage, Jesus offers a radically different vision: a community of diverse people متحد by grace, humility, and shared mission—so that the world would believe.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• What Jesus meant when He prayed, “that they may be one”
• Why unity is not about sameness, but shared surrender to Christ
• How God’s glory reshapes our identity and relationships
• Why unity is essential to the Church’s mission in the world
• Practical ways to live out unity through grace, humility, and self-denial

This message invites you to move beyond winning arguments—and step into a life that reflects the unity and love of Jesus.

At the most important moment of his life, Jesus chose to serve.

In this episode, Ted Coniaris walks through John 13:1–17, where Jesus washes his disciples’ feet and redefines what power, leadership, and love truly look like. Instead of demanding recognition, Jesus kneels in humility—showing that the heart of God is not self-promotion, but self-giving love.

But this moment is about more than an act of service. It’s an invitation.

Before we can follow Jesus’ example, we must first receive his grace—the kind we didn’t earn, can’t control, and often resist. From there, Jesus calls us to live differently: to serve others in quiet, everyday ways that reflect his love.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why Peter resisted being served—and why we often do the same
• How Jesus redefines authority through humility
• The deeper meaning behind foot washing and the cross
• Practical ways to live out a life of service and love

If you’re searching for a faith that moves beyond words into action, this message will help you discover the power of a life shaped by the humble way of Jesus.
