John: Lazarus And The Timing Of God

Feb 02 2025 27 mins  
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 of John 11. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) Why di

John: The Good Shepherd (And The Wolves)

Jan 21 2025 29 mins  
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, He drank down the cup of God’s wrath on Ca

John: The Trap (A Story Of Sin And Stones)

Jan 11 2025 26 mins  
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 guilt? Would He condemn her and risk the wrath of Rome? Would He free her and reject the

John: The Hard Teachings Of Jesus

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. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What drew people to Jesus initially?

John: The Feeding Of The 5000

Dec 24 2024 30 mins  
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 bring food? C) What sign did Jesus perform,

John: A Healing On The Sabbath

Dec 16 2024 25 mins  
“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 was Christ’s objective? B) Why did He enter the ‘Sheep Gate?&#

John: The Encounter At The Well

Dec 02 2024 29 mins  
Surprising. Shocking. Scandalous. Jews and Samaritans were NOT supposed to interact. Their mutual hatred went back generations. And yet, here Jesus was, not only talking with this woman in John 4 – but asking her for water. What was this encounter all about? Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What was the history of the Samaritans? Who were they? B) What had the woman done

John: What It Means To Be Born Again

Nov 19 2024 32 mins  
To Nicodemus, it seemed like crazy talk. But to Jesus, this was serious business. If God’s people are to be saved, we must first be ‘born again.’ So what does that term mean? And how does it happen? In today’s study, we’ll dive into the critical topic of regeneration. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) Who was Nicodemus, and why did he go to Jesus?

John: Water Into Wine (The Miracle At Cana)

Nov 07 2024 24 mins  
It wasn’t just a miracle – it was a sign. In John 2, Jesus attended a wedding. And at this wedding He performed His first recorded miracle (turning water into wine). So, what was this miracle really about? As we’ll see, it pointed forward to the cross – even if no one knew it at the time. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) Why did Jesus tell Mary that His

John: A Voice In The Wilderness

Oct 29 2024 26 mins  
John the Baptist had one job. John came to prepare people to meet Jesus. Specifically, he would ‘make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah had foretold. But the people wouldn’t listen. John would be a voice crying in the wilderness. He would be misunderstood, and eventually killed. And the same would happen to the Messiah. Questions That We’l
