23. Jesus’ High Priestly Prayer (John 17)
What would the Son of God ask for in prayer? In John 17, the curtain is pulled back on the Trinity as we hear the Son pray to the Father as he prepares to go to the cross. In this message, Jonah Kilpatrick, director of Thrive Harbor, unfolds what Jesus prays for and how his requests reveal Jesus' heart for his people.
19. Jesus Washes the Disciples’ Feet (John 13)
In the last 24 hours of his life, Jesus does something unthinkable. Putting on the garb of a servant, he washes the feet of the very disciples who would abandon him to die that same night. In this message, Jonah Kilpatrick, one of Thrive's interns, explains how Jesus' foot-washing isn't just a gimmick or a one-time act. What Jesus did that night is a demonstration of who he really is: the one who, even in eternity, came not to be served but to serve.
14. Bread from Heaven (John 6)
Many have been captivated by Jesus, but far fewer make the costly decision to follow him. That's because though Jesus offers us an incredible life of peace, purpose, and satisfaction, that offer is tied to the radical claim that Jesus himself is the source of that life. In this message on John 6, Jonah Kilpatrick, Thrive's summer apprentice, unpacks Jesus controversial statement that he is the bread of life, and that you can't have Jesus' gifts without the Giver.
