Sometimes we get a nickname we like (e.g., T-Bone!), sometimes we get a nickname we don’t like (e.g., Tiny). Imagine being Thomas, the disciple of Jesus. What nickname do you know him by? At first, he was known as “Twin” (Didymous). MostContinueContinue reading “Jesus Helps Me Believe (John 20:19-29)”

The Good Shepherd (John 10:1-21)
https://www.youtube.com/live/gZSiQr-nCI8?feature=share&t=2071 John 10 picks up immediately after Jesus’ rebuke of the Pharisees for their spiritual blindness. Remember, the Pharisees had just expelled a man from the synagogue who confessed that Jesus is the Christ (9:22). In John 10:1-21, Jesus uses an illustration of first-century sheep farming in order to admonish the Pharisees. In Jesus’ day,ContinueContinue reading “The Good Shepherd (John 10:1-21)”

TheyContinueContinue reading “Will You Die in Your Sins? (John 8:12-30)”

Stiff-necked and Hard-hearted (John 7:1-36)
https://www.youtube.com/live/9poxYdb66ZU?feature=share&t=2770 One characteristic of Jesus’ ministry is that a lot of people didn’t know what to think of Him. He defied expectations and shattered preconceived notions. One out of many examples is that Jesus didn’t drive the Romans out of Jerusalem, but drove the Jews out of the Temple. Speaking of defying expectations, the GalileansContinueContinue reading “Stiff-necked and Hard-hearted (John 7:1-36)”
