Light of the World
As we look at John 9, Jesus declares, 'I am the Light of the world.' The Light overcomes the MYTHS that deceive us, the RULES that bind us, and the BLINDNESS that keeps us in darkness. Jesus tackles these beliefs and calls us to see who He truly is.
Living Water
God's love flows to us and through us. In John 7, Jesus makes bold claims about who He is, challenging us to determine if He’s telling the truth. If we believe He is, we’re called to embrace His love—not only for ourselves but as a source of life to share with others.
Bread of Life
Spiritual starvation often stems from three key issues: using Jesus as a means to an end, neglecting to feast on His presence, and forgetting the secure future He’s promised. In this episode, we unpack John 4:47-51 and explore how these struggles can drain our spiritual lives. Discover how embracing Jesus, the Bread of Life, satisfies our deepest hunger and restores our souls.
Our Perfect and Promised Deliverer
In John 6, Jesus provides not just for our needs but in abundance, offering Himself as the Bread of Life. He is our peace in every storm, reminding us He’s in the boat with us, and our promised Deliverer who gives eternal life.
Case from Christ: Equality with God
In John 5, Jesus reveals his divine authority and points to the witnesses that validate him as the Son of God and Savior: God the Father, John the Baptist, his miracles, the Scriptures, and even Moses. Each testifies to his identity, calling us to believe in him for eternal life.
Greater Healing
The Sabbath reveals a deeper heart issue: legalism. While we often rely on rules, Jesus shows that grace—unearned and freely given—is what truly heals. When He restored a man lame for 38 years on the Sabbath, He demonstrated that God’s grace transcends our limitations and rules.
Eternal Life
What does the Bible say about eternal life? Today, we’ll look at John 3 and 4 to see how Jesus navigates this conversation with two different people: Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman. We’ll explore how each of them engages with the topic and responds to the idea of eternal life.
Jesus Solves the Problem
In John 2, Jesus encounters a problem at a wedding: the wine has run out, causing potential embarrassment for the hosts. Rather than simply solving the issue in a conventional way, He transforms water into wine, revealing His power to bring about profound change. By choosing to address the problem through this miracle, Jesus shows His compassion and reveals His divine glory, inviting His followers to see Him as the source of true provision and transformation.
First Steps of Following
Today, we look at the first steps of following Jesus. When He began His ministry, He called His disciples in various ways. Some followed after John the Baptist proclaimed, "Behold the Lamb of God." Others, like Philip, were called directly by Jesus. Still, others came through friends sharing the good news, drawn as God met them where they were.
John the Baptist
Humility means seeing ourselves as we truly are—nothing more, nothing less—and stepping aside to allow God to work through us. John the Baptist modeled this by stepping back so Jesus could be exalted, showing that true humility makes space for God’s greater purpose.
Incarnation
Who is Jesus? He is the perfect and complete revelation of God, showing us who God truly is. He longs to dwell with us, not from a distance but close, sharing in our lives. Jesus invites each of us to become children of God, embracing us into His family and transforming our lives forever.
Marriage, Family & Gender
When we understand what happened in the beginning—how God intricately crafted marriage, family, and gender—it transforms how we live and view the present. These aren't just cultural constructs, but divine designs with purpose. Let’s rediscover what God intended and how that shapes our lives today.
Leadership
Jesus, the perfect leader, succeeds where Israel failed by fully trusting God's plan, prioritizing His will over personal gain, resisting shortcuts to glory, and demonstrating unwavering obedience without complaint or compromise.
Life
Every life, both inside and outside the womb, is a precious reflection of God's handiwork, endowed with intrinsic worth and dignity. We are each uniquely created by God, with a purpose and value that cannot be diminished. When we trust in God's grace and follow His will, we align ourselves with His perfect plan—a plan that will never harm us but will lead us to the abundant life He desires for us.
Government
We all have a worldview—a lens through which we see and interpret everything around us. But not all worldviews are the same. As followers of Christ, we're called to have a biblical worldview, grounded in Scripture. Colossians 2:8 warns us, "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." No matter how we feel or what the world says, we need a biblical framework to think through the issues we face, aligning our thoughts and actions with God's truth.
Psalm 34
Psalm 34 calls us to our role as worship leaders. It teaches that we don't need countless reasons to worship God; one reason is enough to worship Him repeatedly. The psalm emphasizes magnifying the Lord and exalting His name together, illustrating our collective duty to lead and inspire worship. By embodying the spirit of Psalm 34, we encourage others to join us in continual praise, lifting His name in unity and joy.
Psalm 121
Psalm 121 is a comforting song of trust in God's protection. It begins by affirming that our help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth. It explains how He helps us: with constant, vigilant care, never sleeping, and shielding us from harm. The psalm reassures us that God’s help is always present, both day and night, providing continual protection throughout our lives.
Psalm 25
In life, we often look to ourselves and others for guidance, seeking stability and direction from fallible sources. Psalm 125 teaches us to look to Jesus as our ultimate guide. His steadfast love and protection offer unshakeable security, reminding us to place our trust in Him for true guidance and unwavering support in all of life's questions and circumstances.
