John: A Healing On The Sabbath
"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 was Christ's objecti…
John: The Woman At The Well
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 …
John: What It Means To Be Born Again
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:…
John: Water Into Wine (The Miracle At Cana)
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 the time. Questio…
John: A Voice In The Wilderness
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.…
John: The Eyewitness To The Messiah
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 his…
Jericho's Fall: The Walls Came Tumbling Down
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…
Jesus: The (Only) Name That Saves
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 Tha…
Transformation Or Conformation (Paul's Warning)
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 to be c…
Genesis: The Final Words Of The First Book
Genesis started in a GARDEN. It ended in a COFFIN. In Genesis 1, things were looking great. God had created the world, and said that all He had created was good. But soon, things got dark. Following mankind's first sin (in Genesis 3), a roller coaster of depravity followed. In Genesis 4, Cain k…
