This week as we move into chapter 16 of John’s gospel, we bring together a number of themes we have been considering in recent weeks and ask the question, what might it look like to bear witness to the truth of who Jesus is as we anticipate celebrating the Incarnation during the Christmas season.

The Upper Room 8 November 09 - Experiencing God (Mick Martin)

Perhaps the major overarching theme of the whole narrative of Scripture, from Eden to the new Jerusalem, is that of “God with us”. God’s ‘here-ness’ is not merely a theological concept to which we choose to give mental assent. God wants us actually to experience him in our day-to-day lives.
