The Shocking Backstory to John 3:16

In a world of constant bad news, why did Bible sales explode by 22% last year? We are living in a time of deep hunger for truth, yet the most famous verse in history—John 3:16—has become so familiar that we’ve lost its power. Today, we "zoom out" to see the bigger picture of why God's love is the only force capable of changing everything. Pastor Mark leads us through a "spiritual soak" in the Gospel of John. We explore three dramatic stories—changing water to wine, the cleansing of the temple, and the requirement of being born again—that all lead to one question: Why? Why would the Creator of a universe spanning 160 quadrillion stars allow Himself to be "crushed" for His creation? The answer is a love that is both cosmic in scale and deeply personal to your heart. If you feel set adrift by the "inevitable winds of life," discover the anchor that no fire can burn and no flood can wash away. Includes a 30-Day Prayer Challenge: A simple, biblical way to pray for those you love.
