Travis you have written some good reflections here.  It's encouraging to know that you have such an awesome Dad.  Praise God for that.  So many Dad's fail their kids by not being around or working too hard.  I'm so glad you have a Dad who is involved in your life and takes time to spend with you.  I want to be that kind of Dad.  Sometimes I work too hard and my kids don't see me enough.  This encourages me to be better so thank you for that.

God intended for parents (Mom and Dad) to be the first example of Him to their children. How sad that so many families are broken.

From what I think about this passage. It seems like it's saying everyone will be taught by God, or will be

# data[].attributes.body
If you decided to put your trust in God. You will have eternal life. We know this because God sent his son down to die on the cross for all of our sins. So if he's willing to do something that extreme for us. He will 100% give us eternal life if we put our faith in his name.

"Once the crowd realize neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into a boat and went to search for him." This is what we need to realize in real life. Once we feel Jesus is not working in our life at the moment, but things might be great. That is when we need to search for him more then ever.

We worship God for who his is. Which is the almighty one who created us on this Earth. We also worship God for what he has done. God has done so much for us that sometimes we don't even realize and most of the time we don't thank him enough for those things he has done in our life. God never gives up on us. Peter denied Jesus 3 times and still Jesus did not give up on him. God never gets tired of hearing our prayers.

True worship begins at the cross of Christ. You have to know as a worshiper of Jesus Christ that God died on the cross to save us from sin. God wants us to know him intimately and live a life that's fully alive, awakened to his great love.

Worship is a whole-life response to God's greatness and glory. Do we see the greatness Jesus has done in our lives and those around us. Or are we blocking ourselves out from seeing the amazing things that are happening and just thinking life happens on its own? Be a great worshiper! Worship is our response, both personal and corporate to God.

# data[].attributes.body
We need to worship God more than God needs our worship. We have be given everything we need in this life from God. We are searching for something greater than life because that's the human way, and that is why we need God's worship. God doesn't NEED us he is the almighty one, and can do anything he wants. God WANTS us.

# data[].attributes.body
We are made to worship our Holy Father. God is always seeking us, and he's seeking us because he's God and he knows we can't live without him. That is why we are so good at worshiping because we need his holiness in our life.

Your testimony is the story of your life. Your testimony defines who you are and where you've been. I heard one time that a testimony isn't something you have practice saying. It's what comes from the heart.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm a firm believer if you put your trust in God. Then he will give us eternal life. God has given us life and given us this world that we live in. Why would we not believe in him? History proves his forthcomings.

To me this passage hits home. My dad is a enormous part of the man I am today. I know that he is very proud of me, and when this passage says he can only do what he sees his Father do. That hits at home with me because my Dad has been a great example for me in my life and made me the man I am today.

Sometimes we just need a kick in the butt to get us on the right path. In this verse Jesus gave this man a kick in the butt by saying if you don't stop sinning something worse will happen to you. No one really knows what that worse thing is, but if its Jesus saying it, it must be pretty bad. As soon as Jesus told the man this he went and told the leaders it was Jesus because he was a believer.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes we think things are impossible. In Philippians 4:13, the Bible says, "I can do all things through which strengthens me." If we think things are impossible, they're not. God can do anything he wants and we need to believe that. I heard a quote one time that "Impossible is word thrown around my small minded people who have not put their values in God."

# data[].attributes.body
I think this passage really relates to people today. People today can't believe in something if they don't see it for themselves. That's where the saying "I'll have to see it, to believe it" comes from. Jesus has done so many miracles that we haven't seen and yet we still don't believe. We don't need to see it to believe it, we need to believe it and then we will see it.

# data[].attributes.body
To me this passage is basically saying that you're always welcomed back home. Jesus went back home after being away for a while, and he was genuinely accepted by the Galileans. To me this means that no matter how far you go or what you do. Home is where the heart is and you will be loved when you return.

# data[].attributes.body
This is what most people think, is that if they proclaim Jesus to other people that they will make fun of them or bash them for believing in "a myth". There is proof right here in this passage that if you proclaim you believe in Jesus people

God wants us to be like this women in the story. God made her a believer and she went back and got more people and told them come and look what God has done in my life, and see what he can do for you. God wants us to go out and bring more people. He doesn't just do it so you can live a shelled life and not tell anyone about him.

# data[].attributes.body
How crazy would it be if you had no clue who Jesus was or what he looked like, but you've only heard of him. Then, you realize you are actually talking to him because he tells you. Like if that happened to me i would probably just pass out on the spot from shock.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes we give up on God and we don't believe he can do anything he wants. So we'll question him just like the lady in this passage did. "There is no water here, are you great than our father Jacob?". God we'll fill us up for life if we give him our life.

Imagine how hard it would be to believe that the Messiah is going to be lifted up to heaven while he's still alive and that whoever believes in that will have ever eternal life. Pretty insane isn't it? I don't know how I would go about that situation if I had never believed in something like that.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes the word is confusing. I think everyone would agree to that statement. When Jesus says "unless they are born again". Nobody at that time would know what that means. Jesus is in that situation where no one can wrap their head around what he's saying. Even the smartest people in the land can't understand him. Sometimes that's how we are in life. We try to explain something that only we understand and everyone looks at us weird.

When I read this passage the first thing I thought about was Coach Goodwin. Whenever we play a team that we know is worse then us in football. He always tries to convince us that they're a good team. Then he always say "we shouldn't have to convince you that you have to come out ready to play, if you want to play bad enough you will play hard."

# data[].attributes.body
Jesus was angry in this passage because they were selling things in the temple. I think that's what some people these days think about the church. They think it's a joke and doesn't deserve the credit that it deserves. So they question Jesus of how he has authority and he tells them to destroy the temple. Just like us when someone tells us to do something that we think shouldn't have the authority to do it. We question their authority.

# data[].attributes.body
Good points. Is the Bible and the teaching of Jesus relevant to today's culture? Does it still apply? If we follow God's truth will it make for a better world? People can believe what they want but I hope to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that God's truth is the only reliable truth out there.

# data[].attributes.body
Right. He just wants our trust and our obedience daily. This is faithfulness.

Good Travis. You got it. Baptism is a physical representation of the change that takes place inside when we trust Christ.

Good Travis. Read Jeremiah 29:13. Giglio is trying to tell us that God is easy to find when we seek Him. The reason so many people don't know Him is they don't try to.

We are all made to serve God. God came to save us so we can be free from sin. So if God saved us, why would we not serve him. We are all made to serve God because he is our creator .

This scripture relates very well to the world we live in today. Just because people are different we question they're rights and their morals. It should be an issue in the world today, but social media has brought into play with this and everything around us supports the fact that we should be treated differently.

God is saying in this scripture that you can be born again through water and the spirit. I remember when I was wanting to get baptized I could never wrap my finger around the sense that I was going to be cleansed and saved by the body of Jesus Christ until I went under that water and came back up, that's when I felt it.

In this scripture just like in life Jesus knows each of us. He knows the good, the bad, and everything else about us. He doesn't need our testimony for he already knows our testimony and created our testimony.

Jesus respects his fathers house and the place where it is meant for worship. Just like humans we should respect the church as if it were our personal home. Jesus was also questioned much like we would question him if he yelled at us, and he responded with prophecy.

Worship is a lifestyle. It is not just something we do but it is something we become. My life can be a prayer or an act of worship. One thing is for sure, we will worship whatever we most desire.

Praise the Lord in everything you do. He has always been there for you and he will always be there. In your good times, or your bad times always praise the Lord and he will deliver you from everything.

Exactly right. Nathaniel knew that he'd misjudged Jesus once he encountered Him.

Good summary Travis but remember to give me some life application or personal reflection

And remember that John obeyed God at great personal cost. But that did not matter to John. He knew that doing God's will was far better than being praised by men.

Good point Travis. Why are Christians so often afraid to share the truth they believe about Jesus?

# data[].attributes.body
Selfless is the hardest thing for us to be but Jesus set the example. John 3:30 is a great verse to reflect on also.

# data[].attributes.body
He's omnipotent. There are things He won't do but nothing He can't do. We know He desires what is best for us so He does many good things for us.

Travis, remember to give me two distinct paragraphs. Each needs to be at least 3 sentences. First is a Summary. Second is Life Reflection. Thanks. You are right, no one can follow God unless the power of God draws Him. I believe that power is available to all who choose to repent of sin and believe in Jesus.

When you have nothing what is the first thing you go to? God. These people had no wine so they went to Jesus and he performed a miracle in their lives. That doesn't mean that God will always do that for you, but it shows that he is capable of it so you should praise him all the time.

Jesus decides to go to Galilee and brings Phillip with him. Phillip brought along Nathaniel and Jesus had never seen this man or anything but he already knew who he was. If that's not God then idk what is.

Again, John recognizes him as authoritative figure and shows that he is almighty. Then the two disciples decided to follow Jesus, and Jesus let them follow him. The followers spent the day with him and realized they had found the messiah.

This scripture shows God's reign over the people very well in the sense that he just showed up and he had people praising him. That is how everyone on earth wants to be noticed, but only one man can have that acknowledgment. John gave his testament confirming that he believes in the man who walks before them.

# data[].attributes.body
We are all faced with questions about our identity. Are you going to admit to being one with God or are you going to be scared to admit to The Almighty. John answers right he doesn't put himself higher then he is, but he admit to doing God's work.

# data[].attributes.body
Jesus Christ came and reigned among us. We have seen his glory, the grace he gives, the meaning to life he brings us, and the truth in our hearts he gives us. Through Jesus Christ's sacrifice we have received his eternal blessing of grace because he was selfless.

# data[].attributes.body
Whoever receives Jesus Christ and believes his name will become children of God. If you put your trust in God then he will lead you down the path that he has planned for you. The Christ believers are not born of natural descent but by the power of God.
