Lenten Listening Series // John 14 // The Knowing

Ep 108 // Welcome back to the Lenten Listening Series! This week, we continue our deep dive into the final words of Jesus in the Gospel of John. In John 14, Jesus speaks to His disciples about knowing—knowing Him, knowing the Father, and knowing the Spirit who will come to guide them. This chapter is full of comfort, truth, and the promise of the Holy Spirit as our Helper.

If you’re just joining, be sure to check out the earlier episodes, including the introduction to Lent with Rev. Dr. Jennifer Holtz (Ep 106).

Key Themes in John 14

✨ Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life – He makes it clear that He alone leads to the Father.

✨ The Promise of the Holy Spirit – The Parakletos (Advocate, Helper) will dwell within us.

✨ Greater Works Through the Spirit – Jesus promises that those who believe in Him will do even greater things.

✨ The Power of Prayer – Prayer is not just preparation; it is the greater work.

✨ Living in Love & Obedience – Jesus calls us to love Him by following His commands.
