John: Jesus Washes The Disciple's Feet

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 shocking moments like these. We'll consider two of them in today's study of John 13:1-17.

John: The Voice That Shook Heaven

God's voice boomed from Heaven. Did the people listen and obey? No. They dismissed it as mere '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 focu…

John: The Arrival Of The Messiah

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

John: The Motives Of Mankind

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 Joh…

John: Lazarus And The Timing Of God

He let him die. That's what the people were thinking. Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, and rather than go to him, He let him die. But that's not what happened, was it? Instead, Jesus allowed a difficult situation in order to bring about a miraculous outcome. We will consider that outcome in t…

John: The Good Shepherd (And The Wolves)

John: The Trap (A Story Of Sin And Stones)

She was guilty. No doubt about it. As the woman stood before Jesus, no one defended her actions - not even her. She was guilty. So what would Jesus do? That's what they all wondered. The Pharisees had set this whole encounter up to trap Jesus. How would He deal with her sin and her guilt? Woul…

John: The Hard Teachings Of Jesus

Some things are hard to believe. Others are hard to accept. At the start of John 6, thousands pursued Jesus. By the end, few remained. What happened to the rest? The short answer: they heard Jesus talk, and they didn't like what He said. They could not accept His difficult teachings, and so they…

John: The Feeding Of The 5000

It was late. The people were hungry. Thousands had followed Jesus out of desperation. They were sick, hurting, and now starving. And as Jesus looked out at the crowds, He had compassion. In today's study, we'll see how He responded. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did the people follow Jesu…

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…
