Whether you're exploring faith or have been walking with Jesus for years, this series will both challenge and encourage you.
If you feel weighed down by guilt or shame, there is hope for you. Barbara Rainey explains the solution found only in Jesus.Barbara Rainey invites us to reflect on the parts of ourselves we've always wished were different, sharing openly about her own lifelong struggle with shyness. Through storytelling—from childhood memories to passages in C.S. Lewis's Narnia—and a deep dive into John 9, Barbara reminds us that God doesn't make mistakes with our design or our past. Even the things we might view as handicaps, she says, can be purposed for God's glory. Join Barbara and host Michelle as they explore what it means to find confidence and healing through Jesus, the Son—who is, indeed, enough for every painful chapter in our story.Timestamps00:00 "Narnia Storytime"06:09 "The Paradox of a Good God"07:17 "God's Sufficiency for Your Past"12:29 "Jesus' Initiative and Compassion"15:45 Born with a Shy Nature18:06 "Embrace Your God-Given Traits"20:07 "Barbara Rainey Podcast Outro"Key Topics1.

The Book of John - Burial & Resurrection of Jesus - Gage Dukes by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area
The Gospel of John offers one of the clearest pictures of who Jesus really is—and it stands in direct contradiction to the teachings of Mormonism. In this video, we explore five key doctrines where LDS beliefs clash with Scripture, including Jesus' eternal identity, salvation by faith, the nature of God, and the false idea of a second chance after death.What did Joseph Smith do with John 1:1? How does John 8:24 challenge the LDS idea of spirit world conversions? And why does Jesus say He is the only way to God?We're diving deep into the Bible to expose the truth and hold fast to the gospel as it was originally given. If you want to understand the real Jesus and compare Mormon theology with Scripture, this video is for you.
The Book of John invites us to wrestle with who Jesus said He was. In the final message of our series, we take a look at who Jesus claimed to be in his time on Earth and what that means for us.

At the time of this recording, late December 2024, Jacob and the Moriel team had lost a very close friend, David Royal. Jacob taught through his grief, though the message was shorter than planned. This lesson is from chapter 21:15-20 in the Book of John. We'll wrap up the book next week and then begin a new study, probably in John's first epistle.
