John 10:31-42 Responding Rightly To Jesus

Jesus gives a final invitation to the Jewish leadership in the gospel of John. He urges them to hear his words and heed the testimony of the works he has done in the Father's name. However, the leaders respond by trying to silence Jesus and refusing him despite the testimonies. But there are always those who respond rightly in faith to Jesus.

In Paul's final instructions to the Thessalonians, he gives a list of commands exhorting the Thessalonians to live in light of eternity.

John 9:13-42 Growing in Sight...Or Blindness

The man who had been healed of his blindness is interrogated about the miracle and about Jesus. We are told at the end of this chapter that what we are seeing is a man growing more and more into the light, and another group is growing deeper and deeper into blindness. The man, although not knowing everything about Jesus, holds to his confession that he once was blind but now can see.

John 8:37-47 A Spiritual Paternity Test

Jesus shows his opponents that they are neither Abraham's children, nor are they God's. To do so He gives them evidence of what God does in His children. They bear fruit, they love Jesus, and they respond to God's Word.

John 8:21-29 The Heart Of God's Message

Jesus gives both the warning and the invitation of the gospel to the religious leaders who are questioning Him. Those who do not know Christ will be separated from God for eternity.

John 8:12-20 What If Jesus Really Is Who He Says?

Jesus' claim to be the light of the world is disputed by the Pharisees. Jesus demonstrates His claim by showing the truth of His testimony. The Pharisees reject His claim, but as believers today, how should we walk in our daily life if we truly believe that Jesus' claim is true?

Hebrews 10:19-25 A Charge For The Growing Disciple

Hebrews 10:19-25 A Charge For The Growing Disciple

Hebrews is written to those who are being tempted to go back to old religion and their old life. He shows throughout the book that Jesus is better than all the types and shadows of the Old Testament. Here, we are given three exhortations to press forward in our walk with Christ.

John 8:12 I Am The Light of The World

Jesus makes the second of His "I AM" statements in the gospel of John. He stands in the Temple courts and proclaims that He is the Light of the world. With this claim, He also issues a promise for those who follow Him. This is a promise that holds true today in the lives of believers.

John 8:1-11 Where Justice and Mercy Meet

What if we planned to show a recording of all your thoughts, words, and actions this week? Would you be excited about coming to church? Would you be terrified of what we would all see? Don’t worry, we aren’t doing that. But in John 8:1-11, we are going to see the law brought to bear on us all...publicly. Throughout church history, the story of the woman caught in adultery has captivated the heart of the church. It is a perfect picture of the law’s condemnation and the gospel’s gift of grace. Here we see both those who turn away from the conviction of God and those who are crushed by it. But only one in this story hears the words that are the greatest joy of the believer’s heart..."neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."
