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 …

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) …

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 …

“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, …

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 …

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 …

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.

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …

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 …

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.

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 …

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

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.
