This week we pick up in John 13:1-20. The disciples would have experienced many jaw-dropping moments as they followed Jesus for three years.

This week we look at John 2:13-22 where Jesus signals that the temple will soon be obsolete because God's dwelling place will no longer be in a building made of stone.
