What begins as a controversy over a Sabbath healing becomes a sweeping declaration of divine sonship, resurrection power, and the testimony that validates who Jesus truly is. 

Jesus moves from Galilee to Jerusalem, revealing a faith that trusts His word and a healing power that exposes the emptiness of traditions that value performance over compassion.

In this episode we have a simple request for a drink that becomes a doorway into the kind of life only Jesus can give.  

The origin of Jesus is eternal not terrestrial; he has always existed.  This is so easy to say but not so easy to accept.  Opposition now leads Jesus on an appointed Journey.  

God sent His Son not to condemn the world but to rescue it, offering eternal life to all who believe.

In the stillness of night, Jesus exposes the emptiness of human credentials; if we bring nothing, how can we ever enter His kingdom?

Jesus, the One who transforms what is empty and confronts what is corrupt.  A new Kingdom has arrived.  

True discipleship begins with encountering Jesus personally and responding to His request to "follow me".  

John the Baptist declares that Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the world’s sin, confirming Jesus as the Son of God.   

A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord. John the Baptist is explaining to a Jerusalem committee of priests and Levites, that Jesus is the eternally existing God.  

John’s witness about the light begs the question what are we going to do with Jesus?

Season 9 begins in this episode as a study in the Gospel of John.  This first episode in John 1 Iwe see that in the beginning was the Word, eternal, divine, and life-giving Word of God, shining as light that darkness will never be able...

From the ruins of Jerusalem comes a prayer for renewal: “Restore us to Yourself, O Lord.” In this final chapter of Lamentations, we learn that true restoration begins when despair turns our hearts back to God.

Lamentations 4 paints a vivid picture of Jerusalem’s fall — the painful result of sin and corrupted leadership. Yet even in judgment, God’s justice remains purposeful and redemptive.

In this episode Jeremiah calls God’s people to examine themselves and return their hearts to God, while trusting that God sees, hears, and will ultimately bring justice against their enemies.

We see in these verses that God is good even during suffering.  Waiting quietly on God is an act of faith, and that early endurance of hardship can form a strong and hopeful trust in God’s grace before any tragic circumstance occurs. &...

The brightest lights shone in the darkest nights.  In a dark time, grace glows in the darkness.  

The sting of regret fuels this lament in chapter 2.  But we need to remember even during sudden devastation or other undesired circumstances of your life, the pathway of hope is open through prayer, repentance, and contriteness.  ...

Sin has results, no sin is committed in a void of consequence.  Lamentations 2 is all about what God is doing to Judah, and not what Judah did to get here. The comfort of God’s presence had gone cold.  God’s hand of blessing was w...

God clearly did not want to have his people suffer like this.  Jeremiah and many other prophets were used by God to tell the people to repent and turn back to Him. Now a hard lesson is being learned that ignoring God’s warning is to em...

So, why study the Book of Lamentations?  Because it reflects life itself.  I’m not sure about your life but my life rarely resolves itself as cleanly as I would like.  A life lived untouched by pain is simply not found in Scr...

The writer of Hebrews is giving us the final words of his sermon, the words his readers needed to hear and the same words we need to hear today.  Let’s see how they apply to us as we complete this study in Hebrews.    

In this episode the author of Hebrews closes his sermon with several applications that show us how to act and serve in the kingdom of God emphasizing love for others.  Do you need to do better?  

We can come to the heavenly Jerusalem because of the better covenant that was mediated through Jesus Christ.  What Jesus did permits God’s people to enter God’s presence freely and confidently.    

The Christian life can be an exhausting struggle and this episode’s passage in Hebrews successfully captures that struggle.  However, we are encouraged to continue running the race with endurance and persistent determination ...
