This week's teaching is from John chapter 7:1-24, where Jesus faces misunderstanding and opposition from his own family, crowds, and religious leaders during the Feast of Booths. Jer challenges us to consider how often we, too, judge by appearances and miss God’s bigger purpose because we cling to our own plans and fears. Through Jesus’s example of patiently following God’s timeline and calling others to judge with “right judgment,” we’re invited to reflect on where our hearts stand—are we surrendered to God’s will, or distracted by the world’s noise? Listen in to be encouraged, challenged, and reminded of the deeper hope and mission we have in Christ, especially during the Christmas season.
