In the culmination of this year's class, we are looking at the Upper Room Discourse, ch 13-17. Split into two classes, this is the second part. Best not to be explained, but listened to. If you haven't already, listen to Part 1 first.
This will be our last post for this session. We hope you have experienced God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in a new way. Check back next fall for a new session of classes. And please don't hesitate to reach out through email if you have any questions!

Week 12 - Jesus Interacts with the Pharisees (2016)
As we approach the very intimate Upper Room Discourse between Jesus and his disciples (Chapters 13-17), we look at a few interactions Jesus has with the people and the pharisees in the chapters leading up to it. We watch as Jesus does not condemn, though he has every right; and yet, the pharisees condemn Him and pick up stones (multiple times) to kill him.
Jesus explains that he is the Light of the World, and then he heels a man born blind. This is a small departure from John's structure up to this point. Usually, Jesus will perform a miracle, then explain a characteristic about Himself (and therefore the Father). But here, he explains first, then performs a miracle.
The pinnacle of the story for John is chapter 11, speaking primarily of the structure of his story. Focusing in on the Jesus's conversation with Martha. Take a listen!
The next two weeks, we will focus on the Upper Room Discourse (ch. 13-17) where Jesus explains how much he cares for his disciples. Get ready for that!
