[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]In this three‑part series, **David Mansfield (Hyde Park)** takes us deep into the life of **John the Disciple** – from his fiery beginnings to his tender final years. Using the Greek word **metamorphosis** (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18), David shows that true discipleship isn’t a small improvement – it’s a **radical transformation**, as complete as a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
📖 **Study #1 – Son of Thunder**
Why did Jesus nickname John *Boanerges*? Discover the hidden family ties between John, Jesus and John the Baptist – and the surprising lesson John learned from **Samaritans** about God’s love for the whole world.
📖 **Study #2 – The Vessel & The Glory**
John was present at the raising of Jairus’s daughter, the Transfiguration, and Gethsemane. See how Jesus entrusted him with secrets, taught him the **gentle arm of the Shepherd** (Isaiah 40:11), and prepared him to be a vessel of glory – even at the foot of the cross.
📖 **Study #3 – Finding Balance**
Before cleansing the temple, Jesus took his six disciples to a **wedding in Cana**. Why? To teach them that zeal for God must never come at the expense of family, practical support, and the “bruised reed” (Isaiah 42:3). Learn the balance between fiery faith and compassionate action.
Whether you struggle with impulsiveness, doubt, or simply feeling stuck – this series will encourage you: **God still moulds earthen vessels into vessels of glory.**
