The Way, the Truth, and the Life: Knowing Jesus with Kristin Nave – John 14 n Episode 148 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane welcome Bible teacher and author Kristin Nave for a powerful conversation centered on John 14 and one of Jesus' most defining declarations: “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Together, they unpack what these words mean for us today. What does it look like to follow Jesus as the Way when we don't know where we're going? How do we anchor ourselves in the Truth when so many voices compete for our attention? And what does it mean to experience Jesus not simply as part of our lives, but as the Life itself? Kristin brings her passion for Scripture and practical Bible study into a conversation about knowing Jesus personally, trusting Him in uncertainty, and allowing God's Word to shape how we live. John 14 isn't simply giving us directions for finding our way to God. Jesus makes an extraordinary claim: He is the way. If you're searching for direction, wrestling with truth, or longing for a deeper relationship with Jesus, pull up a chair. This conversation is for you. Reflection Question: Am I simply asking Jesus to show me the way or am I trusting that Jesus Himself is the Way? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams Connect with Kristin Nave: Website: www.abidingfree.com Website: www.shelovesbible.com Instagram: @shelovesbible ____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book: Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

Sermon OutlineBig Idea: We naturally hunger for more than mere existence. Jesus declares that He alone is the Bread of Life who satisfies our deepest hunger and gives eternal, abundant life.Key Verse: “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” — John 6:35I. We Hunger for More Than Mere ExistenceCentral question: Where can that life be found?II. Bread Meant LifeTo understand John 6, we need to appreciate the significance of bread in the ancient world.Bread represented:Sustenance — wheat and barley bread were staples of everyday life.Provision — “bread” could represent food and physical necessities generally.Fellowship — breaking bread communicated hospitality, acceptance, friendship, and peace.Sacred memory — Passover bread recalled the Exodus; manna recalled God's provision in the wilderness.Throughout Scripture, therefore, bread points beyond itself to God as the One who provides life for His people.This background makes Jesus' declaration extraordinarily powerful: “I am the bread of life.”Jesus does not merely give the bread we ultimately need. Jesus is the Bread.III. The Crowd Wanted the Bread but Missed the SaviorJohn 6:25–29IV. Jesus Is Greater Than MosesJohn 6:30–34V. Jesus Is the Bread of LifeJohn 6:35VI. Zoe Does Not Mean an Easy LifeJesus' promise of abundant life does not mean:our problems disappear,suffering ends,life becomes easy,Christians never experience sorrow.Jesus Himself says:“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33Sermon ApplicationThere are two responses to Jesus' words.For those who do not yet follow Christ:Do not make the mistake of the Galilean crowd—wanting what Jesus can provide while missing Jesus Himself. The Bread of Life is offered freely. Come to Christ, trust Him, repent, and receive the life only He can give.For followers of Christ:We can belong to Jesus while still clinging tightly to areas of our lives we refuse to surrender. Yet we cannot experience the fullness of life in Christ while deliberately withholding parts of ourselves from Him.The question becomes: What am I still trying to control that Christ is asking me to surrender?Sermon QuestionsWhat do you think people today most commonly pursue in an attempt to experience a meaningful and fulfilling life? How does Jesus' promise of zoe differ?Why is the cultural and biblical significance of bread important for understanding Jesus' statement, “I am the bread of life”?The crowd wanted what Jesus could give them without recognizing who He was. In what ways are we tempted to do the same thing today?What is the significance of Jesus contrasting the manna given in Moses' day with Himself as the “true bread from heaven”? What does this reveal about Jesus' identity?Jesus promises abundant life but does not promise an easy life. What area of your life might Christ be asking you to trust Him with or surrender more completely to Him?Resources ConsultedCarson, D. A., R. T. France, J. A. Motyer, and G. J. Wenham, eds.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

Who's the greatest? It's a question we ask about quarterbacks, pitchers, and point guards—but Jesus' disciples asked it about the Kingdom of Heaven, and His answer flipped their entire framework upside down.In this message from Matthew 18:1-6, guest speaker Jeff Stemple unpacks what happens when the disciples' quiet argument about status and rank finally bursts into the open, and Jesus responds not with a ranking, but with a child standing in the middle of the room. Jeff explores how greatness in God's Kingdom isn't measured by achievement, platform, or comparison, but through humble, childlike dependence on God.Along the way, Jeff digs into what it means to humble yourself before you're humbled, how what we value reveals what we actually believe, and why welcoming and protecting children reflects the very heart of Jesus. Whether you're wrestling with insecurity, control, or the constant pull to measure up, this message points to a different scoreboard altogether—one built on trust, not status.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

I AM: Understanding the Identity of Jesus with David Guzik GET THE STUDY BIBLE In Episode 137 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane are joined by Bible teacher and author David Guzik for a rich conversation on the powerful “I AM” statements found throughout the Gospel of John. From “I am the Bread of Life” to “I am the Good Shepherd,” these declarations reveal the nature, authority, and divinity of Jesus in profound ways. Together, they unpack the Old Testament significance behind these statements, what they reveal about the heart of God, and how each one invites us into deeper trust and intimacy with Christ. David brings pastoral wisdom and biblical insight that will help listeners not only understand these passages more clearly—but encounter Jesus more personally. If you've ever wanted to know Jesus more deeply through the Gospel of John, this episode is for you. David is the teaching pastor at Calvary Chapel of Santa Barbara, husband to Inga-Lill, and a former missionary to Germany. He's best known for his extensive Bible commentary, which you can access for free at EnduringWord.com. Reflection Question: Which “I AM” statement of Jesus speaks most deeply to the season I'm in right now—and why? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams Connect with David Guzik: Website: enduringword.com ____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book: Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

Special Study: Slavery in the Torah Laws concerning slavery appear in several places in the Torah (the Pentateuch). This can be troubling, since slavery is a persistent human evil. In this special study of The Listener's Bible Commentary, we give one guiding principle and six considerations that help us hear the slavery laws as the were intended to be heard. Our goal here is to prevent misunderstanding and promote a more full and accurate understanding because it's too easy and too common for people to read what the Bible says through the lens of our modern experience and misunderstand what the Bible is actually communicating.

What if the bravest response to hostility is blessing, not backlash? We walk through 1 Peter's charged call to unity of mind, tender hearts, and humble courage, then push into what it looks like to resist the urge to retaliate when words cut and reputations get dragged. With Psalm 34 as a compass, we map how seeking peace and refusing guile aren't naïve ideals but battle-tested disciplines that draw their strength from a bigger story.From there we tackle the hard part: doing good can still invite suffering. So we re-center on sanctifying Christ as Lord in our hearts, learning how reverent fear steadies us when threats rise. We talk about giving a reason for our hope without scorning the people asking for it, pairing clarity with meekness and a conscience clean enough to outlast slander. This isn't about winning debates; it's about becoming a kind of person whose integrity turns accusations into ash.To ground that vision, we follow Peter's sweep through Christ's once-for-all suffering, his life in the Spirit, and the proclamation of victory that reaches even the “spirits in prison.” We unpack the Noah thread and show how baptism corresponds—not as a mere washing, but as an appeal for a new conscience through the power of the resurrection. The thread pulls tight at the end: Jesus reigns at the right hand of God, with angels and authorities under him. That's why we can bless enemies, seek peace, and hold our nerve. If this conversation strengthens your courage and clarifies your hope, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review telling us where you're learning to answer with gentleness today.Questions about Orthodoxy?

Beginning the Journey: An Introduction to the Gospel of John with Dr. David L. MathewsonSeason Three of Divine Table Talk opens with a rich and thoughtful introduction to the Gospel of John, featuring special guest David L. Mathewson, PhD. Dr. Mathewson—associate professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary—guides Jamie and Jane through the purpose, structure, and theological depth of John's Gospel.Together, they explore why John is written “that you may believe,” how its language and themes shape our understanding of Jesus, and what makes this Gospel uniquely formative for faith and discipleship. This episode sets the foundation for the year ahead, inviting listeners to slow down, read deeply, and encounter Jesus not just as a teacher—but as the Word made flesh.Whether you're new to studying Scripture or ready to go deeper, this conversation will equip and inspire you as we begin our journey through John together.____________________________________Connect with Dr. David Mathewson:Website: https://denverseminary.edu/directory/mathewson-phd-david-lEmail David: EMAILConnect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved
