Session 14: The Dark Side of Experiencing God’s Glory
Notes: tinyurl.com/4dht3pbn
In John 13-17, one of Jesus’ aims is to equip the heart to stay steady under pressure. Jesus exhorted the disciples two days earlier that the church was to not be troubled in light of unfolding global eschatological pressures that point towards the end of the age drawing near.
“And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” (Mt. 24:5-6)
A troubled heart weighed down with worry and anxiety is a serious matter. It hinders the growth of joy and peace in our hearts. Worry preoccupies us with managing our emotions, making it difficult
to step out of our feelings and narratives to fully love others in truth.
