Born Again: New Life from Above – John 3:1–21In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 3:1–21, the iconic conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. What does it truly mean to be born again? Together, they unpack the difference between religious knowledge and spiritual rebirth, the role of the Spirit in new life, and the radical love of God revealed through Jesus.

John 1:35-51 What is the most unusual invitation you've ever received? An Invitation to See What did the first disciples see about Jesus? An Invitation to Believe How did the faith of the first disciples grow? An Invitation to Glory Where did the faith of the first disciples lead them?

Send me a Text Message!At the heart of every Jesus apprentice is a growing passion for Jesus. A growing certainty that there is none greater than Jesus. A Jesus apprentice, ultimately lives like everything is worth-less than knowing Jesus. Anything that comes between Jesus and me is a loss. No matter what it takes, I want to know Jesus. So ask yourself, "What's keeping me from following Jesus with all my heart?" As I will share in this episode, sometimes what we treasure most about ourselves is the very thing that's keeping us from the Jesus Way.So I want to invite you to come and see...

We continue the series, Come and See with a message from Pastor Jon titled "Take Away the Stone", based on John 11:17-44.

God's Love is in plain sight all around us, yet it seems so obscure. We may feel orphaned from homes where we once experienced spiritual vitality. Coercion and condemnation have left us on the streets looking for a better way. In John's gospel, Jesus' first words are, “What are you looking for?” and they're followed by an invitation to “come and see.” We aren't given certainty or a system to sell. We are invited to experience a common and awe-inspiring grace as we abide with Jesus. Where do people find transforming grace at Vox? What particular ways are we invited to embody Divine grace and invite others to experience this sustaining grace with us?  On this third week of our series, Vanessa Maleare reflects on what makes invitations to grow and companion one another meaningful and transformative. Reflection Questions: Who has been a “friend to your heart”? What are you seeking/looking for? What do you need from your intimate connection with Jesus?

Come and See: The First Disciples – John 1:29–51In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through the Gospel of John by exploring John 1:29–51, the calling of the first disciples. From John the Baptist's declaration—“Behold, the Lamb of God”—to Jesus' simple yet powerful invitation to “come and see,” this passage reveals how relationship, curiosity, and witness draw people to Christ. Together, they unpack what it means to follow Jesus before fully understanding Him, how obedience often begins with an invitation, and why discipleship is rooted in encounter, not perfection. This conversation invites listeners to reflect on their own call to follow—and who God may be inviting them to bring along.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

The Gospel of John was written with a clear purpose: to awaken belief that leads to life. In this series, we'll walk through John's stories, signs, and teachings to discover what real faith looks like. Belief begins with a simple invitation—“Come and see”—and grows as we encounter Jesus in ordinary moments, wrestle with our doubts, and experience the transforming work of the Spirit. Along the way, we'll see Jesus break through barriers, meet us in seasons of grief, and call us to abide in Him. This is not just about a moment of faith, but a lifelong journey of trust, obedience, and hope in the risen Christ.

Richard Blackaby grew up in an “ordinary” home where his parents talked about God as if He was truly real—and where prayer wasn't a religious habit, but an ongoing relationship. In this conversation, the son of Dr. Henry Blackaby shares what it looked like to live with an expectancy that God is active and speaking, and why so many of us struggle to discern His voice—not because God is silent, but because we haven't learned to recognize Him. Along the way, Richard offers a simple but challenging reframe: we often describe our problems in terms of our limitations, when God invites us to see our circumstances through the bigger reality of who He is and what He can do.In this practical and deeply encouraging conversation, learn what it means to face a “crisis of belief,” why following Jesus often requires getting out of the boat, and how God's invitations are frequently found in everyday places—neighbors, conversations, ordinary faithfulness. And, hear the surprising story of how Experiencing God nearly never became a book. If you're a believer who wants to walk with God more attentively, this conversation will help you lift your eyes, get your heart ready, and take the next faithful step.

Epiphany Sunday

2026.01.11 Dr Kenneth Bruce So that You May Believe The Open Invitation: "Come And See" John 1:35 -51

In this message, Pastor Josh opens The Beloved Gospel with the prologue of John's Gospel—John 1:1–18—inviting us to behold who Jesus is before we consider what He did.John doesn't begin with a manger, a miracle, or a mission trip. He begins with eternity. Jesus is introduced as the Word (Logos)—God's full self-expression—through whom all things were made. Drawing from the rich Jewish and Greek background of the word Logos, this message explores how John presents Jesus as fully God and fully human, the Word made flesh, who stepped into our darkness to give light and life. This is Genesis revisited—a new beginning where God moves toward humanity, not with distance or demands, but with grace and truth embodied in Jesus.Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message calls us back to the heart of the gospel:The gospel doesn't start with what Christ did, but who He is—and our response isn't rooted in what we do, but whose we are.

God's Love is in plain sight all around us, yet it seems so obscure. We may feel orphaned from homes where we once experienced spiritual vitality. Coercion and condemnation have left us on the streets looking for a better way. In John's gospel, Jesus' first words are, “What are you looking for?” and they're followed by an invitation to “come and see.” We aren't given certainty or a system to sell. We are invited to experience a common and awe-inspiring grace as we abide with Jesus. Where do people find transforming grace at Vox? What particular ways are we invited to embody Divine grace and invite others to experience this sustaining grace with us?  In this second week of our series, Eric Robinson looks at how the early believers were scattered across the Mediterranean to different cultures and how God's grace was powerfully present as they realized God was not static, but rather widening circles of mercy and belonging. Reflection Questions: What are the signs marking your journey? Wher is the last time you saw one? Who are the bicultural people in your life who might have seen the markers you missed?

The Invite: Come and See — A Journey Through the Gospel of JohnSeason Three of Divine Table Talk begins with an invitation. An invitation to slow down, open the Word, and encounter Jesus in a fresh way through the Gospel of John. In our first episode, The Invite, Jamie and Jane step into the opening words of John and ask the same question Jesus asked His first followers: What are you seeking? This season isn't about rushing through Scripture—it's about pulling up a chair, coming and seeing who Jesus truly is, and letting His presence shape every part of your life. You belong at the table.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

The opening chapter of John's Gospel says that Jesus “came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe” (1:9), and Jesus himself said he came “to seek out and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). It's a good reminder that every Christian's mission should be to introduce as many unbelievers as possible to Jesus. The overwhelming majority of non-Christians are closer to Christ than you might think, and all it takes is one real encounter with Jesus to change everything. In this series we'll explore four unique conversations that Jesus had with everyday people - a young fisherman, a middle-aged mother, a religious elder, and a woman with a sordid past - and we'll see how one interaction with Jesus can change a life forever.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed as we start this particular year of studies in the Old Testament. Perhaps it is the sheer size of the book. Perhaps it is the archaic language and culture. Perhaps it seems to be so disconnected from us in time. But let us remember how the Old Testament permeates all the other scriptures.
