Description

In John chapters 14 through 17, Jesus mentions preparing a place for his disciples, and that in his Father’s house, there are many mansions. But what many believers interpret as a discourse about the second coming, heaven and our future home there is actually Jesus’ portrayal of how his Father will abide in us, here on earth.

Pastor Joe gets into the Greek (spoiler alert: the Greek translation for “mansion” is actually “an abiding place”) and paints a picture for how we are designed to be God’s abiding place, his new temple (mansion) here on earth.

  • How have we missed God’s intention for a closer-than-close, loving relationship with us NOW by writing off portions of scripture as for our future life in eternity?
  • How have we misconstrued the nature of God? I.e., Jesus’ loving nature prevents God from wiping us all out?
  • What do other people have to do with how we abide?
  • How does Father God redeem any earthly distortions we have when thinking of fathers?
  • How does a right view of Father God help us move from works-based faith to a relationship- and trust-based faith?
