Discover the unshakable peace that Jesus promises in John 14 as we unpack its timeless wisdom together. As your guide, Eric Cepin, we'll traverse the complexities of Jesus' farewell discourse, finding solace in the mystery of His union with the Father and the empowerment bestowed upon us through the Holy Spirit. This episode isn't just about theological elucidation; it's an intimate journey into the heart of divine comfort and direction amidst life's tumult.
Our exploration commences with the assurance found in Jesus' guidance, a beacon during trials and tribulations. We draw parallels to the guidance we offer our children, understanding that just as we prepare them for new experiences, Jesus readies us for our spiritual journey. Delving deeper, we witness the profound relationship between Jesus and the Father, an interweaving of divinity that invites us into transformative faith and greater works, echoing through the ages and into our very lives.
We then transition to the profound comfort of being 'home' with Jesus, even as we navigate the intricacies of earthly challenges. I invite you to rest in the knowledge that the Holy Spirit dwells within us, merging heaven and earth in the sanctuary of our souls. Join me, Eric Cepin, in this episode as we embrace the divine convergence and carry forth the peace of Christ in the face of any storm.
The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
