- John: The Return Of Jesus Christ (00:24:40)
In John 21, Jesus talked about His ‘return.’ He would leave. In due time, He would come back. But for what purpose? And at what point? That will be the focus of today’s study. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) Why did Jesus suggest that John would remain? B) How do the events of 70AD relate … Read More Read More
- John: Feed My Sheep (Christ’s Words To Peter) (00:00:00)
How many times had Peter ‘denied’ Jesus? Three. How many times did Jesus ask Peter if he ‘loved’ Him? Three. In today’s study of John 21, we’ll see the forgiveness of Christ, and the commissioning of Peter. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What caused Peter to recognize Jesus on the beach? B) What did Jesus … Read More Read More
- John: Of Scars And Skeptics (00:24:20)
Skepticism is NOT a fruit of the Spirit. In John 19, Jesus died. In John 20, He was resurrected. And after that, He appeared to His apostles in the Upper Room. However, one was missing. And he didn’t believe the other ten. The ‘doubts’ of Thomas will be the focus of today’s study. Questions That … Read More Read More
- John: The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ (00:25:20)
He Is Risen! In John 19, Jesus died. But He didn’t stay dead. In John 20, He rose from the tomb (just as He said He would)! And in doing so, He made possible our own resurrection. That will be the focus of today’s study in the Gospel of John. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) … Read More Read More
- John: It Is Finished (Victory On Calvary) (00:28:35)
It. Is. Finished. Just three words – yet, the most significant ever spoken. On Calvary, Jesus declared ‘it is finished.’ The question for us is: what was He referring to? What was ‘finished,’ and what value does it have for us? That will be the focus of today’s study in John 19. Other Questions That … Read More Read More
- John: The King On The Cross (00:24:35)
It is finished. Three simple words – three words, on which your fate rests. On Calvary, Jesus completed the work that He was sent to do. What was that work? And what does it mean for you? That will be the focus of today’s study from John 19. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) Did Jesus … Read More Read More
- John: Pilate’s Interrogation Of Jesus (00:27:07)
“What is truth?” That was Pilate’s question. It was a great question – too bad he didn’t wait for an answer. Pontius Pilate asked Jesus a number of things in John 18 – and was befuddled by Christ’s responses. We will consider their unique conversation in today’s study. Questions We’ll Address: A) Who was Pilate, … Read More Read More
- John: The Denials Of Peter (00:27:29)
Peter said that he loved Jesus. Peter said that he’d die for Jesus. But on the night of Christ’s betrayal, Peter denied Him three times. So, what do we make of Peter’s failure? What do we make of his weakness? And how did Christ respond? That will be the focus of today’s study in John … Read More Read More
- John: The Betrayal And Arrest Of Jesus (00:25:53)
Lanterns, torches and weapons. The men who sought Jesus were heavily armed! That’s what rebels do – they arm themselves for battle. Meanwhile, Jesus waited patiently. In a sense, the events of John 18 are a microcosm of mankind’s history. Specifically, our ‘armed rebellion’ against a loving and patient God. We’ll consider that rebellion (and … Read More Read More
- John: The High Priestly Prayer (00:24:04)
You are not alone. You have a divine ‘intercessor.’ And when life gets hard, the Son pleads your case to His Father. But what does He say? What does He ask for? That will be the focus of today’s study in John 17.
- John: Jesus Has Overcome The World (00:24:00)
Jesus, 1. The World, 0. It wasn’t even close. Herod, Pilate, the devil, and all the Pharisees could not stop Christ’s victory. They didn’t even delay it. In John 16, Jesus said He had overcome the world – but what does that mean for you and I as believers? That will be the focus of … Read More Read More
- John: The Myth Of Spiritual Neutrality (00:26:45)
Some believe the world is a ‘neutral’ place. But they’re wrong. The world is filled with light and shadow; good and evil, angels and demons. The world is not neutral. It is spiritually polarized. And that’s just what Jesus told His disciples in John 15.
- John: What It Means To Abide In Christ (00:23:25)
Picture a branch. If that branch is on the ground, it’s dead. A severed branch bears no fruit. However, if that same branch is connected to a tree or vine, it’s alive. In John 15, Jesus says that the same is true of us. Specifically, He tells us to ‘abide’ in Him (as a branch … Read More Read More
- John: The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit (00:26:03)
Who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do? In John 14, Jesus promised that the ‘Holy Spirit’ would appear after His departure. “I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — the Spirit of truth.” – John 14:16 Jesus also said that … Read More Read More
- John: Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled (00:26:30)
Fear overwhelmed the disciples. Huddled in the Upper Room, Jesus had talked about His coming death, the presence of a betrayer, and of the dark days to follow. The men were shaken. But, sensing their anxiety, Jesus gathered them close, saying “let not your heart be troubled.” Dark days would soon give way to hope … Read More Read More
- John: The Washing Of The Disciple’s Feet (00:20:56)
Unthinkable. In John 13, the Creator washed the feet of people that He created. And moments later, one went out to betray Him. The Lord Supper was filled with several shocking moments like these. We’ll consider two of them in today’s study of John 13:1-17.
- John: The Voice That Shook Heaven (00:29:01)
God’s voice boomed from Heaven. Did the people listen and obey? No. They dismissed it as ‘thunder.’ Many say they’re waiting for proof of God and His plan, asking for a clearer revelation from on high. Yet when He answers, guess what? They ignore Him. What about you? This will be the focus of today’s … Read More Read More
- John: The Arrival Of The Messiah (00:25:57)
Jesus wept on Palm Sunday. While others shouted ‘Hosanna’ and laid down palm branches, Jesus wept. But why? Because He knew something the others did not. In today’s study, we’ll consider what that was. Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby Holt Text: John 12:12-19
- John: The Motives Of Mankind (00:25:13)
Motives matter. For example, some people pursued Christ with good, positive intentions. But others (like Judas Iscariot) had selfish or wicked motives. What are your own motives in coming to Christ? Is it for His glory and interests, or for yours? That will be the focus of today’s study in John 12.
- John: Lazarus And The Timing Of God (00:27:44)
He let him die. That’s what the people were thinking. Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, and rather than go to him, He let him die. But that’s not what happened, was it? Instead, Jesus permitted a difficult situation in order to bring about a miraculous outcome. We will consider that outcome in today’s study … Read More Read More
- John: The Good Shepherd (And The Wolves) (00:29:50)
What makes a ‘good’ shepherd? He doesn’t run when the wolves come. In John 10, Jesus faced all sorts of ‘wolves.’ From Pharisees, to Romans, to the Devil himself, Jesus was always in grave danger.But so were His sheep! And so, instead of running, Jesus faced the evils of this world on their behalf. Then, … Read More Read More
- John: The Trap (A Story Of Sin And Stones) (00:26:02)
She was guilty. No doubt about it. As the woman stood before Jesus, no one defended her actions – not even her. She was guilty. So what would Jesus do? That’s what they all wondered. The Pharisees had set this whole encounter up to trap Jesus. How would He deal with her sin and her … Read More Read More
- John: The Hard Teachings Of Jesus (00:27:21)
Some things are hard to believe. Others are hard to accept. At the start of John 6, thousands pursued Jesus. By the end, few remained. What happened to the rest? The short answer: they heard Jesus talk, and they didn’t like what He said. They could not accept His difficult teachings, and so they left. … Read More Read More
- John: The Feeding Of The 5000 (00:30:27)
It was late. The people were hungry. Thousands had followed Jesus out of desperation. They were sick, hurting, and now starving. And as Jesus looked out at the crowds, He had compassion. In today’s study, we’ll see how He responded. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) Why did the people follow Jesus? B) Why didn’t they … Read More Read More
- John: A Healing On The Sabbath (00:25:13)
“Do you want to be made well?” That was Christ’s question of the sick man. It is also Christ’s question of you. Do you want to be made well? And what do you want to be made well from?This will be the focus of today’s sermon from John 5. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What … Read More Read More
