Justin Gaspar, our Outreach Minister, will be bringing the message today.

JOHN 8:12-20

¹²When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

¹³The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”

¹⁴Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.¹⁵You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. ¹⁶But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. ¹⁷In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. ¹⁸I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”

¹⁹Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”

“You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” ²⁰He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

VISION | CONVERSATIONS HUB

Our vision at Northwest is that by 2026, we will be having thousands of surprisingly easy-to-start conversations about Jesus all over our city because we are convinced, where God has us is where Jesus is!

To create momentum around our vision, last year we launched our Conversations Hub! This mobile website allows us to see exactly WHERE God has us all over our city to have conversations about Jesus and celebrate those together. We’ve LOVED getting to celebrate all of the conversations that are being pinned on the map throughout the week!

Check it out to see exactly where God has us and drop a pin for your divine platform* or for a conversation you've had about Jesus!

*Your "divine platform" is HOW God has shaped you and your story and WHERE God has placed you to have conversations about Jesus!

VISION | DISCOVERY EXPERIENCE

Have you wanted to tell someone about Jesus but felt intimidated and weren't sure where to start? Has Jesus made a difference in your life and you know He can do it for someone you love? At Northwest, we believe you have a unique story and a divine platform God wants to use to reach those who don't yet know Him.

Discovery Experience is an 8-week small group curriculum designed to help you answer the question, “How is God uniquely calling me to invite people into conversations about Jesus?” Interested in joining a group? Learn more!
