What does it mean to abide in the words of Christ? What does it mean to be set free by the truth? And how did Jesus' enemies miss the meaning of these terms so that they were still considered slaves to sin? This and much more we discuss in this episode, as we continue our examination of John 8.

In this episode, we take a break from our study of John and look at the wrath of God from our "Attributes of God" series. While God's wrath is a topic people may shy away from, what we see in this study is that when you take away the wrath of God, you no longer have the God of the Bible. Additionally, we talk about how God's holiness demands that God judge sinners, as well as how there is a link between God's wrath and our salvatio...

What does it mean for someone to die in their sin? And what are the consequences of dying in sin? Jesus declares to His enemies that they will die in their sins, but their belief is that they are morally better than Him. In this episode, as we continue our study of John, we talk about dying in sins (not to be confused with dying "to" sin), and what Jesus says to His enemies that demonstrate that He is higher (INFINITELY higher) tha...

In this episode we talk about Jesus' claim to be the light of the world. What was Jesus communicating when He said these words? What significance did this have during the Feast of Tabernacles? And how does Jesus' enemies respond? The words of our Savior in this passage are glorious and should bring encouragement as we discover how His teaching highlights His divine work and ministry that has positive implications for the whole worl...

In many modern English translations of the Bible, the first eleven verses of John 8 (the account of the woman caught in the act of adultery) are said to be verses that do not appear in the earliest Greek manuscripts. So how do we explain its inclusion in later Greek manuscripts? And does this mean that this passage is not inspired? We answer these questions in this episode, while exploring some of the basics of textual criticism to...

After telling His enemies that where He is going they cannot come, Jesus gives a call to the thirsty to come to Him and drink. What was the significance of His words given the context of being on the last day of the Feast of Booths? And how did the people in general respond to what He said? This we will explore in this episode, as we finish our exploration of John 7.

In this episode we continue to look at Jesus' words to His enemies at the Feast of Booths in John 7, and talk about the confusion that the Jews had about Him (at no fault of Christ), as well as what Jesus has to say about excluding the kingdom from those enemies. In those words of exclusion, we may tend not to think of such words coming from Jesus, but as we will see, as a sovereign God, Jesus reserves the right to speak on this ex...

Jesus' enemies are known as being hypocrites, but how is that hypocrisy specifically seen in their confrontation against Him? In this episode, we see how Jesus exposes the hypocrisy of His enemies at the Feast of Booths, as we return to our study of the Gospel of John, and pick up in John 7.

In this episode, we take a break from our study of John and I share with you an introductory sermon I preached in January 2023 on the attributes of God. I draw from Acts 17 and examine Paul's presentation to the philosophers on Mars Hill and highlight the different attributes of God that he brings up to his audience. (The messages in this series on the attributes of God will be shared whenever we take a break from John).

In this episode we finish our examination of John 6 by talking about the unbelief and defection of the crowd that turned away from Jesus and no longer followed Him. What do we need to know about unbelief from this final section of the chapter? And what does this all say about the true work of God in saving His true people?

What did Jesus mean when He said that people must eat His flesh and drink His blood? If Jesus is not to be taken literally here, then what exactly is He calling people to do? In this episode we examine these words in light of everything else He has said in John 6, as well as explain why He can't be referncing the Lord's Supper or transubstantiation.

When Jesus identified Himself as the bread that came down from heaven, people took offense to Him, seeing Him as no more than an ordinary person. What does Jesus say in response to their grmubling? And how do His words indicate that He continues to declare Himself as God? We explore this and more as we continue our study of John 6.

The crowd that Jesus fed in John 6 seemed to receive Him enthusiastically, and even showed indications that they wanted to follow Him. But as we are about to see in this and future episodes, their hearts were not really aligned to the Lord in a saving way. What is the difference between how this crowd received Him and His apostles received Him? And how is the "bread" that God provides superior to the bread that the crowd was seekin...

In this episode we begin our examination of John 6 by talking about Jesus feeding the five thousand (vv. 1-15). We will talk about what this miracle would have communicated to those who followed Jesus, as well as how this events sets up Jesus' words in the rest of the chapter.

In this episode, I share a sermon that revisits John 4 and talks about what we can learn about evangelism based on Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well. This is not a verse by verse or section by section examination like we did before on this podcast (see Eps. 359, 360, & 361 for this), but it is a discussion of how Jesus engaged with this woman and how His example can be applied in evangelism today.
