Next Episode: The Face That Went To Heaven

We begin a new sermon series through the gospel of John entitled: "Streams in the Desert: Finding the Fullness of God in Empty Places." The claim of the semester is that in the midst of the wilderness and empty places of our lives, God shows up and brings his fullness. So every week we will look at an empty place and see how the fullness of Jesus brings new life into what was once unfruitful and barren.

We all compare. It seems like Peter compared himself to John a lot. When we compare ourselves to others, Jesus tells us, "What business of that is yours? You follow me." We'll see what comparison reveals, what it steals, and Jesus' appeal.

Fix your eyes on Jesus and away from comparison.
