Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself…

Would you still praise God if everything in life wasn’t going right?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we open to John 13:1–17, one of the most powerful moments in Jesus’ ministry. In this passage, Jesus kneels down and washes the feet of His disciples. The King of Kings takes the posture of a servant.

In the ancient world, washing someone’s feet was a task reserved for the lowest servant in the household. Yet Jesus chose to model humility and sacrificial love in a way His disciples would never forget.

This moment reveals something deeper about the heart of God and about the kind of life believers are called to live.

When we truly understand how deeply we are loved by our Heavenly Father, it changes how we show up in the world and how we love others.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 13:1–17 • Why Jesus washing the disciples’ feet shocked everyone in the room • What true humility looks like in the life of a believer • How knowing you are loved by God changes how you treat others • Why Jesus calls His followers to serve one another • A devotional reflection titled “Living Like You’re Loved” • A journal prompt to help you reflect on God’s love in your daily life

Sis, when you know whose you are, you move through life differently.

When we understand the depth of Christ’s love for us, it begins to shape how we love and serve others.

Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever caught yourself caring more about what people think than what God thinks?

In a world filled with likes, comments, reviews, and constant opinions, it can be easy to start measuring our worth by human praise instead of God’s approval.

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we finish John 12 by exploring a sobering moment in Jesus’ ministry. Despite the miracles, the signs, and the undeniable evidence of who He was, many people still chose not to believe.

Why?

Scripture tells us something incredibly honest about the human heart.

They loved the praise of people more than the praise of God.

This passage invites us to pause and examine our own hearts. Are our decisions shaped by fear of people or faith in God?

Sis, God never called us to chase approval. He called us to walk in obedience.

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt the tension between wanting to follow Jesus… and wanting to hold on to control of your life?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we continue through John 12:20–36, where Jesus begins preparing His followers for what is about to happen. For the first time, He declares that His hour has come. The cross is approaching, and Jesus reveals a powerful truth about the kingdom of God.

A seed must fall to the ground and die before it produces life.

This moment was not just about Jesus’ sacrifice. It is also an invitation. An invitation for us to consider what it means to truly surrender our lives to Him.

Because the path to real life in Christ often begins with letting go of the life we are trying to control.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 12:20–36 • Why Jesus compares His death to a seed producing life • What it means when Jesus says His hour has come • Why some people heard God’s voice while others missed it • How the cross defeated Satan’s power over believers • What Jesus means when He calls us to lose our life to find it • Why surrender does not make life smaller but fuller in Christ • A devotional reflection titled “We’ve Got a Part to Play” • A journal prompt to help you reflect on surrender and trust

Sis, following Jesus was never meant to be a comfortable life built on control. It is a surrendered life built on trust.

And the beautiful truth is this.

When we place our lives in His hands, what feels like loss often becomes the very thing that produces life.

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever realized that some people simply won’t like you… even when you’ve done nothing wrong?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we open John 12 and witness two powerful moments: Mary pouring out costly worship at Jesus’ feet and the triumphant entry into Jerusalem. But alongside worship and celebration, we also see something sobering — opposition rising from both outside and within.

Lazarus becomes a target simply because his life reflects the power of Jesus.

And that truth still speaks today.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 12:1–19 • Why Mary’s worship was criticized • What Judas’ reaction reveals about the heart • Why obedience often triggers opposition • The dangerous desire to make everyone happy • Palm Sunday prophecy fulfillment • What it means to live for God’s approval instead of people’s

Sis, you were not created to manage everyone’s emotions.

You were created to obey God.

Hey Sis 💛 Have you ever noticed how God can use anyone to accomplish His will… even those who oppose Him?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we close out John 11:45–57 and step into the moment where the official plot to kill Jesus begins. What looked like the beginning of the end was actually the setup for the greatest victory in history.

Opposition rises. Religious leaders panic. A secret meeting unfolds.

And yet… God is still sovereign.

Sis, what looks like the end may actually be the turning point.

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever asked the quiet question in your grief… Does God even care?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we walk through John 11:30–43 — the moment Jesus weeps before raising Lazarus from the dead. This powerful passage reveals both His compassion and His authority. We see a Savior who is not distant from sorrow, yet fully sovereign over death.

Sometimes what feels like delay is actually a setup for deeper belief.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 11:30–57 • Why Jesus wept even knowing the miracle was coming • The meaning behind His righteous anger • How grief and glory can exist in the same moment • Why God’s delays are often divine setups • The deeper purpose behind Lazarus’ resurrection • A devotional reflection titled “Does God Even Care?” • A journal prompt for processing grief and trust

Sis, He does care. And sometimes His glory unfolds right in the middle of our pain.

Hey Sis 💛

Have you ever felt like God’s timing just does not match yours?

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we begin one of the most well-known miracles in Scripture — the raising of Lazarus in John 11. But before the resurrection… there was waiting. And that waiting was not accidental.

Jesus loved Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. And yet… He stayed two more days.

This passage invites us to wrestle with something deeply personal: What if God’s delay is not denial, but design?

✨ In this episode, we explore: • A Circle Time style biblical affirmation rooted in John 11:1–29 • Why Jesus delayed even though He loved them • The difference between urgency and intention • What it means that obedience is the safest course of action • Martha’s honest faith in the middle of grief • How God uses waiting to deepen revelation • A devotional reflection titled “He Waited So That…” • A journal prompt to process where God feels delayed in your life

Sis, sometimes the miracle we are asking for is smaller than the revelation He is preparing to give.

Hey Sis 💛

In today’s Bible Study with Me, we step into John 10:22 to 42 during Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication, where Jesus is confronted again and pressed to say plainly if He is the Messiah.

But Jesus makes something clear. The issue is not a lack of information. It is a heart committed to disbelief.

We talk about what it means to truly belong to Him as His sheep, to recognize His voice, and to rest in the promise that no one can snatch you from His hand. We also look at how Jesus stays anchored in the Father’s timing, even when people try to force an outcome.

Today’s devotional is called Delayed Reaction, and it is for the one who has been praying, planting seeds, and wondering why nothing seems to be changing yet.

Sis, God is still working. Faith often blooms later than we expect.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✨ In this episode, we explore

• What Jesus meant when He said, “My sheep listen to My voice” • The comfort and security of being held in the Father’s hand • What it means that the Father and the Son are one • How unbelief can be an issue of posture, not proof • Why Jesus points them back to Scripture and His works • A Circle Time devotional on trusting God’s timing for those you love • A journal prompt to help you release control and rest
