Sermons on John
Craig teaches us what it means to abide in Jesus, who loves us as the Father has loved him.
Jesus shows the disciples the wounds in his hands and the wound in his side, and when they see the wounds, they come to believe. We discuss trauma, grief, and what it means that in Jesus, woundedness has been made holy.
Craig Keen shares with us from the lectionary texts (1 Samuel 3:1–10; Psalm 139:1–6, 13–18; 1 Corinthians 6:12–20; and John 1:43–51), and leads us into the call to become part of the mutilated body of Christ.

We take a look at the passage that gives us the name “Living Water” this week! Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well, bridging gaps and entering into scandal in order to offer her life. We look at how our mission in East Village parallels what Christ did with the woman at this well.
John 3 contains some of the most powerful and beloved verses in all of scripture. We look at what it means to be “born again” or “born from above.” What does it mean to believe in Jesus, not just admire him?
