Daily Devotionals

May 16th - 22nd

We continue our studies in Jesus “Upper Room Discourse” by looking at the way He seeks to encourage His disciples’ hope and their holiness (John 14:1-14). Please use the readings and suggested questions as a way to prepare for our collective time of study and practice.


Monday John 14:1,2
What causes your heart to be “troubled”? How does Jesus re-direct our attention from “trouble” to “trust”?

Tuesday John 14:3,4
What promise does Jesus make that would release us from “earth-bound troubles”?

Wednesday John 14:5-7
What is the essence of Thomas’ question? How/Why does Jesus change Thomas’ question from “where?” to “who?” Why is it more important to have a “Guide” than a “map”?

Thursday John 14:8-10
Philip asks what seems to be a “natural question”. What is Jesus’ response? What claim is Jesus making about His connection to God the Father?

Friday John 14:11
This is perhaps one of Jesus’ boldest statements regarding His deity.

Saturday John 14:12-14
What are the “greater things” that Jesus is predicting? How is it possible that Jesus’ followers would “out do” Him? What does it mean to “ask…in my name”?

Sunday John 14:1-14
What is the cumulative way that these statements provide great encouragement to us?
