Three-D Discipleship

09.13.26 Summary - Truly Series

John 6:1-21

 

Main Question:
What do you want from Jesus—and would you still want Him if He didn't give you the thing you wanted?    

Summary:

In John 6:1–31, the crowd witnesses two incredible miracles: Jesus feeds thousands with five loaves and two fish, and He walks on water. But the passage reveals a deeper problem: the people became more interested in what Jesus could provide than in Jesus Himself.

When the disciples looked at the enormous crowd, they saw what they didn't have—there wasn't enough money or food. Jesus showed them that He is more than enough. Everyone ate until they were satisfied, and there were even leftovers.

Yet the crowd missed the point. They wanted to make Jesus king because He could provide food, and then they followed Him looking for more. Jesus exposed their hearts: they weren't seeking Him because the signs had revealed who He was; they were seeking Him because their stomachs had been filled.

We can do the same thing. We can want Jesus to be our healer, provider, problem-solver, or miracle worker without allowing Him to truly be God and King of our lives. We can measure God's goodness by whether He gives us the outcome we want.

The miracles are signs, but the signs are not the destination—they point us to Jesus. Our faith must move from asking God for more bread to realizing that what we ultimately need is Christ Himself.

Key Takeaways:

• Jesus is more than enough. The disciples saw scarcity; Jesus provided abundance.
• The miracle isn't the point. Miracles are signs meant to point us to Jesus.
• Don't seek the provision and miss the Provider. The crowd pursued Jesus because He filled their stomachs, not because they understood who He was.
• Our role is faith. When the crowd asked what work they should do, Jesus answered that they should believe in the One God sent.
• Don't measure God's goodness by His provisions. God is still good when the answer isn't what we wanted.
• Be careful not to make miracles into idols. Give thanks for God's provision without allowing the provision to become more important than God.
• Worldly focus produces worldly desires. The crowd wanted an earthly king because they were focused on earthly needs.
• Jesus isn't here to serve our agenda. He came to accomplish the Father's mission, and His plan for our lives may look different from the outcome we want.
• God's presence is greater than an easier life. Jesus may not remove us from every difficult situation, but He is with us through it.
• Faith says “hallelujah” either way. If God provides what we ask for, praise Him. If He doesn't, we can still trust and praise Him.

Don't just want something from Jesus. Want Jesus. The provision may change, the miracle may not come the way you expect, but Christ Himself is more than enough. 

 

Gospel Response: 

The world wanted to make Jesus king by force, but Jesus chose the cross. The crowd wanted bread so they could live longer; Jesus gave His life so they could live forever.

Jesus didn't come merely to make our lives easier or give us everything we ask for. He came to save us. He died for our sins and rose again so that we could be forgiven, receive eternal life, and have God Himself with us—even in the hardest seasons.

So ask yourself: If Jesus doesn't give me the miracle, healing, relationship, provision, or outcome I want, will I still trust Him?

Fix your eyes not on what God gives you, but on God Himself. If He provides the miracle, praise Him. If He doesn't provide the outcome you hoped for, continue to praise Him—because Jesus is not merely enough. He is more than enough.

09.06.26 Summary - Truly Series

John 5:19-47

 

Main Question:
Do you simply know what God can do—or do you truly believe He can work in your life?   

Summary:

In John 5:19–47, Jesus confronts religious leaders who knew Scripture, understood God's laws, and knew the stories of His miraculous power—yet when God was working right in front of them through Jesus, they rejected Him.

Jesus makes it clear that He and the Father are working together. He has the authority and power to give life, even raising the dead. Eternal life isn't merely a future promise; through Christ, we can pass from death to life now.

The danger for us is the same one the religious leaders faced: we can know a great deal about God without truly trusting God. We can study Scripture, attend church, know theology, and remember what God has done for others while still doubting that He can redeem our own brokenness.

Scripture was always meant to point us to Jesus. Knowledge alone cannot save us—Jesus does. God is still working, still restoring, still redeeming, and still bringing life out of death. The question is whether we will trust Him with our own lives.

Key Takeaways:

• God is still working. He hasn't given up on you or stopped working in people's lives.
• Knowing about God isn't the same as knowing God.
• Knowledge cannot save you—Jesus can.
• Jesus has both the authority and the power to give life.
• Eternal life begins now. Jesus brings us from spiritual death into life through faith in Him.
• Scripture points us to Jesus. Don't become so focused on knowing the Bible that you miss the One the Bible reveals.
• Don't limit God to how you think He should work. He has the authority to work according to His will and for His glory.
• Your brokenness is not beyond God's ability to redeem.
• Don't believe God's miracles are only for someone else. The God you've seen work in others is able to work in you.
• Faith is more than information. God didn't give us facts to transform our lives—He gave us His Son.

You've heard what God can do. You've seen what God can do. The question is: Do you believe He can do it in you? 

Gospel Response: 

Jesus did not come expecting us to fix ourselves. He came to save us.

He entered our broken world, lived the life we could never live, experienced rejection and suffering, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead so that we can have eternal life—not simply someday, but new life in Him beginning now.

Stop trusting merely in what you know about Jesus and trust Jesus Himself. Give Him the brokenness, addiction, pain, relationships, fear, or circumstances you've been trying to fix yourself. Believe that the God who has worked in the lives of others can work in you too.

08.30.26 Summary - Truly Series

John 4:46-54

 

Main Question:
When you see God at work around you, how will you respond—with faith or rejection?   

Summary:

In John 4:43–54 and John 5:1–18, two men experience the miraculous power of Jesus but respond very differently.

The royal official was desperate for his dying son. He traveled to Jesus, trusted His word, and went home before seeing the miracle. When he discovered his son had been healed at the exact moment Jesus spoke, he recognized God's work, believed, and his household believed with him.

The paralyzed man had spent 38 years focused on the pool he believed could heal him. Jesus came to him, healed him, and told him to walk. Yet instead of responding with faith, the man ultimately reported Jesus to the religious leaders, contributing to their rejection and persecution of Christ.

Both men experienced a miracle, but the miracle itself wasn't the point—it was a sign pointing to Jesus. God is continually at work, and we must slow down, open our eyes and ears, recognize His work, and respond in faith rather than allowing our expectations, distractions, or interpretations to keep us from seeing Him.

Key Takeaways:

• The sign isn't the point—it points to the point: Jesus.
• God is always at work. We need eyes to see and ears to hear what He is doing.
• Desperation can drive us toward Jesus. The royal official knew where to go when he had nowhere else to turn.
• Faith trusts Jesus before seeing the outcome. The official believed Jesus' word and went home without Jesus physically accompanying him.
• Miracles demand a response. We can see God's work and respond with faith—or see it and still reject Him.
• Don't become so focused on the “pool” that you miss the Savior. The paralyzed man's attention remained fixed on the physical solution while Jesus stood before him.
• Don't force God to fit your expectations. The religious leaders rejected Jesus partly because His work didn't fit their interpretation of how God should act.
• Physical miracles point toward a greater spiritual reality. Our greatest need is not temporary physical healing but eternal life in Christ.
• Give God the credit. Don't become so distracted or self-reliant that you miss His work around you.
• Faith should lead to proclamation. The royal official's encounter with Jesus didn't stop with him—his household believed too.

God is at work. The question is not simply whether we will see it, but whether what we see will lead us to believe and follow Jesus.

Gospel Response: 

The greatest miracle is not simply physical healing—it is the new and eternal life Jesus offers.

Jesus is God in the flesh. He lived the life we could not live, died the death we deserved, and rose from the grave so that we can live. On the cross, He completed the work of salvation for us: “It is finished.”

Even when we don't understand what God is doing—and whether the physical miracle we desperately want comes or doesn't—we can trust that God is still working.

Look. Listen. Recognize what God is doing. Fix your eyes on Jesus and respond with faith.

Main Question:
What are you looking to for satisfaction—and what do you need to leave behind to pursue God’s mission for your life?  

Summary:

The Samaritan woman came to the well focused on survival, but after encountering Jesus, she left her water jar behind. The thing that had consumed her attention no longer defined her. She had found something greater—satisfaction, identity, and purpose in Christ.

Her encounter with Jesus immediately became a mission: “Come and see.” She didn't know everything about theology and didn't have a perfect past, but she knew the One who had changed her life. God used her testimony to bring others to Jesus.

The disciples faced the same struggle. While the woman focused on water, they focused on food. Jesus redirected them to something greater: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me.” Food and water are necessary for survival, but they cannot satisfy the soul. True satisfaction comes through Christ, His presence, and participating in the mission and purpose of God.

Jesus meets us so that we can meet others. When we stop looking to the things of this world for satisfaction, fix our eyes on Christ, and follow His will, our lives become part of His mission to bring others to the Savior of the world.

Key Takeaways:

• Survival is not the same as satisfaction. Food, water, money, success, relationships, health, and other earthly provisions have a purpose, but they cannot satisfy our souls.
• Leave the jar behind. Identify what you have been looking to for satisfaction instead of Christ and surrender it to Him.
• God meets us so we can meet others. An encounter with Jesus gives us a mission to point others toward Him.
• You don't have to know everything to share Jesus. The Samaritan woman simply testified about the One she had encountered: “Come and see.”
• God uses faithful, not perfect, people. Her past did not disqualify her from being used by God.
• Satisfaction is found in doing the Father's will. Jesus showed His disciples that God's mission offers something the things of this world cannot provide.
• The harvest is ready. There are people in our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities who need someone to point them to Jesus.
• Jesus is the Savior of the world. The Samaritans came because of the woman's testimony, encountered Jesus themselves, and believed that He truly is the Savior of the world.

Jesus meets us, satisfies us, and then sends us. Leave behind what is holding you back, follow God's purpose, and invite others to “come and see” the Savior for themselves.

Gospel Response: 

Jesus lived the life we could not live and faithfully completed the mission we continually fall short of fulfilling. On the cross, He took our sin and separation from God upon Himself and declared, “It is finished.” He died and rose again so that we could have eternal life and an eternal relationship with the Father.

Because Christ has finished the work of salvation, we can stop trying to find lasting satisfaction in temporary things. Leave the jar behind. Surrender whatever has become an idol, receive the life and satisfaction found in Jesus, and step into the purpose He has given you. Then go and tell others, “Come and see.”

Main Question:
What are you looking to satisfy your soul—and are you looking to Jesus, the only One who can give you living water?  

Summary

In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman who could not have been more different from Nicodemus. Nicodemus was respected, religious, and seemingly close to God; she was an outsider with a broken past who seemed far from Him. Yet neither was beyond the reach of Jesus.

The Samaritan woman came looking for physical water, but Jesus offered something far greater—living water and eternal life. Again and again, she focused on physical things: the well, her thirst, the mountain, and the proper place to worship. Jesus continually redirected her attention to the spiritual reality standing right in front of her: the Messiah Himself.

Jesus knew her sin and exposed the darkness in her life, but He did not expose it to condemn her—He revealed the truth so He could lead her to life. He showed her that true worship isn't ultimately about a location; it is about who we worship, and true worshippers worship the Father in spirit and truth.

Whether we think we're close to God like Nicodemus or far away like the Samaritan woman, the answer is the same: Jesus is enough. He seeks and saves the lost, satisfies the thirsty, and offers eternal life to everyone, everywhere.

Key Takeaways

• Jesus offers life to everyone, everywhere. From the religious insider like Nicodemus to the rejected outsider like the Samaritan woman, no one is beyond His reach.
• Jesus seeks and saves the lost. You don't have to get yourself “close enough” to God before He will pursue you.
• Only Jesus can satisfy our deepest thirst. Everything else leaves us needing more, but Jesus offers living water that leads to eternal life.
• Don't miss Jesus while focusing on the physical. The Samaritan woman focused on water, the well, and the place of worship while the Savior was standing right in front of her.
• Jesus exposes our sin to lead us to life. He knew the woman's past completely. His truth wasn't meant to destroy her but to reveal her need and offer her grace.
• True worship is about who—not where. Worship isn't confined to a church, mountain, style, or location. God seeks people who worship Him “in spirit and truth.”
• Truth and grace belong together. Jesus didn't compromise truth, but He also didn't reject the Samaritan woman because of her sin or background.
• Don't decide someone is too far gone for Jesus. We are called to go toward the lost and broken and point them to the life found in Christ.
• “The clean aren't close enough. The wicked aren't far enough. But Jesus is enough.” Whether we think we're near to God or far from Him, everyone needs the same Savior.

Bottom line: Jesus satisfies the thirsty, pursues the lost, exposes darkness with truth, and offers eternal life to anyone who comes to Him.

Gospel Response: 

Jesus came to seek and save people who could never save themselves. He lived the life neither Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman, nor any of us could live. He died the death sinners deserved and rose from the grave so that we can be raised to new life in Him.

We don't have to clean ourselves up enough to reach God, and we can never wander so far that His grace cannot reach us. “The clean aren't close enough, and the wicked aren't far enough—but Jesus is enough.”

Come honestly before Him. Let His truth expose what is broken, receive the living water only He can give, and worship Him in spirit and truth. Then go toward those you might consider too lost, too broken, or too far away and point them to the same life you've found in Jesus.

We can search everywhere for something to satisfy our deepest thirst, but everything else leaves us wanting more.

The clean aren't close enough.
The wicked aren't far enough.
But Jesus is enough.

Come to Jesus. Drink deeply. Worship Him in spirit and truth.

Is your life making more of Jesus and less of you?  “He must increase, but I must decrease.” — John 3:30 

Summary

John the Baptist had influence, followers, and a successful ministry, but when people began leaving him to follow Jesus, John wasn't jealous—he rejoiced. He understood his role and his purpose: “He must increase, but I must decrease.”

Everything we have—our gifts, talents, opportunities, and influence—comes from God and should be used for His glory. We aren't the main character, Jesus is. Our purpose isn't to build our own following, compare ourselves with others, or seek recognition. Like John, we're called to humbly serve, point people to Christ, and live so that the fame of Jesus increases.

John 3 reminds us why Jesus deserves that place: He is Lord of all, He is truth, and He has divine authority. To decrease means surrendering our desire for control, identifying the things we've elevated above God, obeying Christ, serving others, and intentionally making Him greater in every area of our lives.

Our role is to be humble servants. Our purpose is to point people to Jesus through our words and actions.

John the Baptist understood something we can easily forget: it’s not about us. It’s about Jesus.

Our gifts, talents, opportunities, and influence all come from God—and our purpose is to use them to point people to Christ.

Jesus is Lord of all. He is truth. He has all authority.

So may our lives be less about building our own name and more about making His name known.

More of Jesus. Less of me.

Gospel Response: 

Jesus is Lord of all, the truth sent from the Father, and the One who has been given all authority. He died on the cross and rose again so that everyone who believes in Him can have eternal life.

Because Jesus has given everything for us, our response is not to make life about ourselves but to surrender our lives to Him. Believe in Jesus, obey Him, loosen your grip on anything you've placed above Him, and use everything God has given you to point others to Christ.

More of Jesus. Less of me. He must increase; I must decrease.

Have you been born again by believing in Jesus, or are you still trusting in yourself? 📖 "You must be born again." — John 3:7

 

Nicodemus was one of the most respected and religious men in Israel, yet Jesus told him that religion, morality, and knowledge were not enough. Everyone must be born again. Our greatest problem isn't that we need to try harder—we need new life. Sin has separated us from God, leaving us spiritually dead and unable to save ourselves.

 

But God, in His great love, made a way. Just as the Israelites looked to the bronze serpent and lived, we are called to look to Jesus, who was lifted up on the cross in our place. When we believe in Him, God forgives our sins, gives us a new heart, fills us with His Spirit, and grants us eternal life. New birth is more than a moment—it is the beginning of a transformed life that continually grows to reflect Christ.

 

Nicodemus had religion, knowledge, and influence—but Jesus told him he still needed new life.

 

Our greatest need isn't to become better people—it's to become new people.

 

Because God loved the world, He sent His Son to take our place on the cross so that everyone who believes in Him would have eternal life.

 

Gospel Response: God loved a broken, sinful world so much that He sent His only Son to save it. Jesus lived the perfect life we could never live, died the death we deserved, and rose again so that everyone who believes in Him would not perish but have eternal life. Stop trusting in your own goodness, religion, or efforts to earn God's favor. Look to Christ. Believe in Him. Be born again. Through faith alone, God forgives your sin, gives you new life, and begins transforming you into the person He created you to be. The invitation is simple: Look to Christ. Believe in Him. Be born again.

 

📖 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." — John 3:16

Are you following Jesus because of what He can do for you—or because of who He is? In John 2, Jesus reveals His glory through two powerful signs. At the wedding in Cana, He turns water into wine, showing that He abundantly provides for those who are empty. In the temple, He drives out corruption, revealing His zeal to purify what belongs to God. These miracles weren't merely displays of power—they pointed to Jesus Himself.

 

The crowd was amazed by the signs, but many believed only because of the miracles. Jesus knew their hearts. Genuine faith isn't sustained by constantly chasing the next miracle; it grows through a daily relationship with Christ. The greatest miracle isn't simply what Jesus does for us—it's how He transforms us from the inside out.

 

Jesus is our Provider when we're empty and our Purifier when we're broken.

 

The question isn't, "Can Jesus perform another miracle?" The question is: Do you trust Him because of what He does—or because of who He is?

 

Gospel Response: Don't chase miracles. Follow the God of miracles. As you walk with Him each day, He transforms your heart and strengthens your faith.

 

Jesus came not only to meet our temporary needs but to transform our eternal condition. Through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection, He provides abundant life for the empty and purifies sinful hearts. The gospel calls us to trust Jesus not simply for His miracles, but because He is the Son of God who loves us, walks with us through every trial, and is making us new. As we follow Him each day, our faith grows—not because we continually see new signs, but because we continually know the God of miracles.

What are you looking at—and are your eyes fixed on Jesus or the things of this world? John the Baptist's message was simple: "Behold the Lamb of God." His life was never about drawing attention to himself but about pointing others to Jesus. Throughout John 1, Jesus repeatedly invites people to "Come and see" and "Follow Me." Those who respond discover far more than where Jesus is staying—they see the glory of God revealed in the Son.

 

Like the first disciples, we are often tempted to fix our eyes on our circumstances, fears, relationships, careers, or the brokenness around us. But Jesus calls us to lift our eyes above the distractions of this world and behold Him. As we follow Christ, we see God's glory, experience His grace, and are transformed to point others to Him.

 

John the Baptist's message was simple: "Behold the Lamb of God."

 

Jesus' invitation is just as clear:

➡️ "Come and see."

➡️ "Follow Me."

 

The question isn't what you're looking at—it's who you're looking to. When we fix our eyes on Jesus instead of our circumstances, fears, or the distractions of this world, we see the glory of God and find the hope, grace, and life only He can give.

 

Gospel Response:

 

Will you come and see... and then go and tell?

 

Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and the Son of God who reveals the glory of the Father. Through His perfect life, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection, He opened the way for us to know God and receive eternal life. The invitation of the gospel is still the same today: Come and see. Follow Jesus. Believe in Him. When we fix our eyes on Christ instead of our circumstances, we find the hope, life, and glory that only He can give, and our lives become a testimony that points others to Him.

Are you looking to Jesus—and do you believe He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world? When religious leaders asked John the Baptist, “Who are you?” John refused to make himself the focus. Instead, he humbly pointed everyone to Jesus. John understood that his identity, purpose, and ministry were not about gaining recognition but about preparing the way for Christ. His testimony declared, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

 

The people were searching for a Messiah who would rescue them from their circumstances and free them from Rome, but Jesus came to provide the rescue they needed most—freedom from sin. He is not a weak or defeated Lamb; He is the victorious Lamb, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who conquered sin, Satan, and death through His sacrifice and resurrection.

 

Like John the Baptist, our lives and testimonies should point away from ourselves and toward Jesus. We may never fully see the impact of our faithfulness, but God sees how every prayer, act of service, gospel conversation, and step of obedience fits into His greater story. The question is not simply whether we know who Jesus is but whether we believe—and whether that belief transforms how we see ourselves, our purpose, and the world around us.

 

Gospel Response: Jesus is the Son of God and the Lamb of God who came to take away the sin of the world. He lived the perfect life we could not live, died the death we deserved, and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven, made righteous, and given new life. Through His sacrifice, Jesus defeated sin, Satan, and death and secured eternal victory for everyone who believes.

 

Stop looking to people, success, money, comfort, or the things of this world to save or satisfy you. Look to Jesus. Believe that He is who Scripture says He is, trust in His finished work, and allow that truth to transform your identity and purpose. Then, like John the Baptist, humbly and faithfully use your life to point others toward the Lamb of God.
