| John: The Denials Of Peter | 16 Jun 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Betrayal And Arrest Of Jesus | 29 May 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Arrival Of The Messiah | 24 Feb 2025 | 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 | 12 Feb 2025 | 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 | 02 Feb 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Good Shepherd (And The Wolves) | 21 Jan 2025 | 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, … | |||
| John: The Trap (A Story Of Sin And Stones) | 11 Jan 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Hard Teachings Of Jesus | 02 Jan 2025 | 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. … | |||
| John: The Feeding Of The 5000 | 24 Dec 2024 | 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 … | |||
| John: A Healing On The Sabbath | 16 Dec 2024 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Encounter At The Well | 02 Dec 2024 | 00:29:00 | |
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? … | |||
| John: What It Means To Be Born Again | 19 Nov 2024 | 00:32:20 | |
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 … | |||
| John: The High Priestly Prayer | 15 May 2025 | 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: Water Into Wine (The Miracle At Cana) | 07 Nov 2024 | 00:24:30 | |
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 … | |||
| John: A Voice In The Wilderness | 29 Oct 2024 | 00:26:47 | |
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 … | |||
| John: The Eyewitness To The Messiah | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:29:16 | |
Christianity: rooted in history, backed by eyewitnesses. In John 1, the author skips the greetings and goes straight to the heart of the matter: he and others saw, heard, and observed the Messiah. “The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,” he declared. In today’s study, we’ll consider the historical facts that support our … | |||
| Jericho’s Fall: The Walls Came Tumbling Down | 11 Oct 2024 | 00:34:55 | |
Jericho had massive walls. It didn’t matter. There are no walls that can deter God’s Wrath. And there is no army that can stop those who serve Him. In Joshua 6, we will study both points in one of the most famous (and faith-building) passages in Scripture. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) How big was … | |||
| Jesus: The (Only) Name That Saves | 01 Oct 2024 | 00:25:52 | |
No. Other. Name. As he felt the Sanhedrin’s angry gaze, Peter stood firm. There’s no other name, there’s no other door, there’s no other way by which fallen sinners can be reconciled to God. Not two. Not ten. Just one, Peter declared. Jesus Christ is the singular means of salvation. Questions That We’ll Answer: A) … | |||
| Transformation Or Conformation (Paul’s Warning) | 23 Sep 2024 | 00:26:45 | |
The world is trying to remake you in its image. Will you let it? In Romans 12, the Apostle Paul reminds his readers that the world is intent on creating worldly people. That’s what it does. It wants to conform you and I to its own priorities. However, Paul tells Christians that we are NOT … | |||
| John: Jesus Has Overcome The World | 05 May 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Myth Of Spiritual Neutrality | 23 Apr 2025 | 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 | 14 Apr 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Indwelling Of The Holy Spirit | 01 Apr 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled | 21 Mar 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Washing Of The Disciple’s Feet | 12 Mar 2025 | 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 | 04 Mar 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: Pilate’s Interrogation Of Jesus | 21 Jun 2025 | 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, … | |||
| John: The King On The Cross | 09 Jul 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: It Is Finished (Victory On Calvary) | 30 Jul 2025 | 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 … | |||
| John: The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ | 13 Aug 2025 | 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) … | |||
