Podcasts about Gospel of John

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 22nd of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go straight to the Gospel of John 6:42: ”And they said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, ‘I have come down from heaven'?” What a beautiful statement! “I have come down from heaven”. Oh, my dear friend, I want to tell you something so special and precious this morning. I want to tell you about Jesus. Jesus is God, made flesh. If we look at Matthew 1:23. He is referred to as, “Immanuel”. What does that mean? It's a Hebrew word which means, “God with us”, and if you look at John 14:9, Jesus Himself said, ”If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” So that is where all the problem came from in that little town of Nazareth, where Jesus said, ”I have come down from heaven.” They couldn't understand that. They said, ”This is the son of Joseph and Mary, who live up the road.” What they did not realise was that God became flesh and dwelt among us! Many years ago, I heard a story about somebody who came up to an evangelist and said, ”You know, we all serve and we all believe in the same God.” And this man said, ”No, we don't.” And he said, ”What do you mean?” And then the evangelist asked this man, ”Does your god have a son?” And the man said, ”No, He does not.” And he said, ”That's why we don't serve the same God. You see, the God I serve has a Son. His name is Jesus Christ.” I want to say to you today, at the end of the day, we can argue as much as we like, but the bottom line for me is this - relationship. I know a Man, a Man who can walk on water, I know a Man who can raise the dead, I know a Man who is coming back very soon! Yes, in my little quiet time room where I'm recording this message, I can tell you, I can feel His presence. Yes, I can feel Him, I can sense Him and I'm telling you that He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother and He wants to be your friend today.Please speak with Him, He's waiting to hear from you.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

Can you question what Israel's government is doing and still stand with Israel in a biblical way?  Many Christians feel trapped between blind support on one side and hostility on the other. In a noisy moment filled with slogans and hot takes, the conversation needs more covenant, not less. In this episode we step back into the big story of Scripture to separate three things most people blur together: Israel's government, the Jewish people, and God's eternal covenant.  We look at the prophets, at Jesus, at Paul, and at the Gospel of John to see how the Bible itself models sharp internal critique without ever erasing God's promises to Israel. You will come away with a simple “compass” you can use before you tweet, preach, repost, or debate.  The goal is not to tell you what to think about every policy, but to help you think inside the covenant story of God, so that your words carry truth, humility, and hope for both Israel and the nations. Key Takeaways The Bible gives a long history of covenant insiders critiquing Israel's leaders while still honoring God's choice of Israel. Nathan with David, Elijah with Ahab, the prophets, and Jesus in Jerusalem all confront sin to call Israel back, not to cancel the covenant. Romans 11 holds two truths together: regarding the gospel, Israel is an enemy; regarding election, they are beloved, and God's calling is irrevocable. “The Jews” in John is better understood as “the Judeans” or specific authorities in conflict, not a timeless verdict on all Jewish people. Israel's government is not the same as the Jewish people, and the people are not the same as the covenant; those distinctions really matter. Many Jewish people have real zeal for the God of Abraham, yet lack saving knowledge of Yeshua; our posture must be truth with tears, not contempt. A simple four-question “compass” can help you speak about Israel in ways that invite repentance, resist double standards, and refuse erasing language. Chapter Markers 00:00 Plywood palace, welcome, and why this conversation matters 04:00 Can I critique Israel and not be anti-Semitic? 08:30 Nathan, Elijah, the prophets, and Jesus as covenant critics 18:00 Romans 11: enemies, beloved, and irrevocable calling 26:30 John's “the Jews,” Dale Partridge, and dangerous generalizations 37:00 Government vs people vs covenant: three crucial distinctions 47:00 A four-question compass for faithful critique 54:00 Hanukkah teaser, ministry update, and invitation to partner In a moment when many are either shouting at Israel or defending her without discernment, this episode offers a biblical path that refuses both contempt and confusion.  Listen in, explore more resources at thejewishroad.com, consider coming with us to Israel, and prayerfully ask if God is inviting you to be one of The Few who regularly support this work.

In John 1:47–51, Jesus meets Nathanael and greets him with the surprising phrase, “An Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit.” What did Jesus mean by that? In this episode, we look at the background of this statement, why Nathanael's honesty stood out, and how Jesus' comment reveals His divine insight. As we walk through the passage, we'll see how this moment helps set the stage for Nathanael's faith and Jesus' promise that even greater things are ahead.

The Gospel of John Week 21 Scripture: John 16:1-5. This week we head into more of the final hours before Jesus' arrest. We open with John 16:1-5 ""All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me." He's telling them difficult days are ahead, but He wants to make certain that when difficult days come, they are not going to be taken off guard, that they will not fall away or lose their faith. He's telling them tough times lay ahead, be ready! Jesus continues to tell His disciples that He is teaching these things so they don't stumble, so that when even us today, see these things beginning to take place, that we look up because the time of redemption draws near. So Jesus says, to be awake and prepared for His return. And again He tells them the Holy Spirit, the Advocate will come after he goes away, that the Father will send the Holy Spirit to them. Jesus tells them it is to their advantage for Him to go away and the Spirit to come.  Why? Because this is fulfilling everything the prophets had predicted, and it is ushering in a new age, the age of the Holy Spirit. In Joel we read the Holy Spirit would be poured out. So Jesus is saying hang in there, don't stumble and the Holy Spirit will be with you when I'm gone.  Then Pastor shares a personal testimony about how reading the New Testament and only getting as far as the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 how the Holy Spirit convicted him and how he realized he was a sinner in need of a Savior. The Holy Spirit convicts and convinces people about righteousness. The Bible describes our righteousness (we are sinners) as filthy rags. We cannot stand before a holy God, no matter how nice, how good we've been and say "Hey, God, let me in, I've done this and that." None of us is righteous, but Jesus is our righteousness.  He is the righteousness of God that by His perfect life, by His willing obedience, by His sacrificial death, by His resurrection, He has paid the price for our sin and rebellion.   The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and point us to Jesus as our righteousness through faith in Jesus.  It is only because of the Lord Jesus Christ  and faith in Him that we are saved. When need to we realize that God is gracious and we that we need to rely upon Jesus and on Him alone. It is only In Him that we are protected from judgement. It's at the cross of Jesus that the punishment for our sin was paid. In Him alone is forgiveness, hope, peace and life ever after. Did the Holy Spirit only guide people in truth in the 1st century? No, there is nothing in the Bible that says the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost and active for a few year and that once the New Testament was complete, that the Holy Spirit was gone. There is nothing in scripture to indicate the Holy Spirit has ever stopped working. The Holy Spirit still desires to guide and direct His children today.  Jesus says, "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you." Then Jesus goes on to say "in a little while you will see me no more and then again in a little while you will see me. You will weep and mourn while the world rejoices." He adds that they will forget the anguish and goes on to say that now is the time of grief but that He would see them again and that they would rejoice and that no one could take away their joy. In just a few hours the disciples will have their lives turned upside down. They will be in fear of their lives. And they are going to think everything is being taken away, the enemy has won, BUT Jesus tells them you will see Me again and no one will be able to take away that joy! Then He says "I have told you these things so that in Me, you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble but take heart, I have overcome the world!"

3rd Corinthians is a second-century Christian document that was written in Paul's name. The work offers a glimpse into the unknown author's thoughts on the creator God, Jesus' birth, and the Holy Spirit, while also detailing the doctrines the author deemed heretical. The resulting portrayal is an overlooked example of biblical unitarianism in the second century.   To view the video version of this episode, go here: https://youtu.be/eMzDcjD5rR4  Visit Amazon to buy your copy of A Systematic Theology of the Early Church: https://amzn.to/47jldOc   Visit Amazon to buy your copy of Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of John: https://amzn.to/3JBflHb    Visit Amazon to buy your copy of The Son of God: Three Views of the Identity of Jesus: https://amzn.to/43DPYey   To support this podcast, donate here: https://www.paypal.me/10mintruthtalks   Episode notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TeMyskZRycGubw2CqdCq9sGLkKXZi_9yZWWapxckMjs/edit?usp=sharing     Subscribe to me on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@BiblicalUnitarianPodcast       Follow me on X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/OneGodPodcast 

In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Ethan Callison, Andrew McPheron, and Ken Nienke unpack John 7:37–52, where Jesus stands up on the climactic final day of the Feast of Booths and cries out:“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”This is one of the most powerful scenes in John's Gospel — rich with Old Testament symbolism, dramatic tension, and the promise of the Holy Spirit.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are answering a question about repentance and the gospel of John. Perhaps the word repentance does not appear in John's gospel, but isn't the concept present in the gospel of John? Why isn't repentance required for receiving the gift of eternal salvation?

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 19th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of John 6:35 (Amplified Bible): “Jesus replied to them, “I am the Bread of Life. The one who comes to Me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in Me [as Saviour] will never be thirsty [for that one will be sustained spiritually].” Jesus Christ is the bread of life. Have you ever been to a bakery very, very, early in the morning, where they make the bread at the back of the bakery and bring it out on trays? It is looking so beautiful, so brown and a delicious aroma. Aah, I love it so much, and then when you cut a slice of that bread, and you take some fresh farm butter and you spread it over liberally, and it starts to melt into that hot bread, I don't think there's too much that tastes better than that!That's why I get up in the morning at 4 o'clock, because I don't like to eat stale bread. I don't like to eat bread that is old. I don't like to eat bread that is contaminated by the things of the world. We must get the Bread of Life, every single morning before anything else. Before we listen to the world news, before we start phoning other people and getting different opinions of different world events, we must go to the bakery, my dear friend. Radio Pulpit always says to me when we talk about evangelism, it is one hungry beggar showing another hungry beggar where to find bread. He says where to find the bakery, because that's where the spiritual Bread of Life is. So, young person, today I want to tell you, get up in the morning and get into your quiet time room, wherever that might be. Open your Bible and read the Word of God, and that word will sustain you for the whole day, but if you don't go to the bakery early in the morning, you'll have to put up with stale bread, contaminated bread, which will confuse you.Get to the Bread of Life. His name is Jesus!God bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

Spend time with your Lord; let Him love you; let Him shine on you; let Him whisper His Truth to you. Then, write down the things that He whispers to you so that you can think about them afterwards and won't be gone in forgetfulness.

Pastor Sean invites us to lean into the kind of faith that steadies us in every season. Through honest stories and gentle teaching, he points us toward the hope Jesus offers when life feels heavy and reminds us that we don't walk this road alone. As we trust God together, we discover the strength that comes from community and the peace found in staying close to Him. This message offers encouragement for anyone longing for a deeper, more grounded life with Jesus.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 18th of November, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of John 6:27: “Do not labour (do not work) for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life,…” This is Jesus speaking. Then we go back to the Old Testament, to the Book of Ecclesiastes 1:14. They say it was written by Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived. He says it is “grasping for the wind” Are you grasping for the wind today? Are you on the wrong track? Are you spending all your time, all your effort, in building up things which will perish, maybe even before you die, and have no everlasting benefit to anyone or anything? We need to be like Jesus and get our priorities in order. Mark 8:36, the word of God says: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” I want to say to you today, be careful that you're not putting all your effort into something that has no eternal value. Yes, we have to put food on the table for our families, we have to be responsible citizens, but we have to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then all these other things will be added to us.Today please, listen to what the Lord is saying to us. Stop chasing after the wind and start seeking Jesus Christ, and He will undertake for you in every area of your lives. Jesus bless you and goodbye.

Pastor Matt wrapped up the church's "I AM" series by reviewing how Jesus revealed His divine identity through seven statements in the Gospel of John. Each statement—Bread of Life, Light of the World, Door, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and Life, Way, Truth and Life, and True Vine—offers a unique invitation to relationship, collectively inviting us back into relationship with God through Christ. The sermon emphasized that discipleship isn't a tiered system but the natural state of every follower of Jesus, who should be "following Jesus, being changed by Jesus, and committed to the mission of Jesus." Pastor Matt then launched our annual Christmas offering campaign with a goal of $155,000, supporting local partners like Union Gospel Mission, national church planting efforts, global missions, and campus ministries. This 11-week generosity initiative aligns with Jesus' final command in Acts 1:8 to be witnesses "in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth," while also supporting Vision 2028—the plan to start a new work by our 50th anniversary.

Lessons from the Upper Room: a priest retreat with the Gospel of John

Whether you're a longtime believer or someone wrestling with big questions, this episode offers clarity, perspective, and encouragement.Join us again next week!More about our ministries & service times: springlakechurch.org

The Gospel of John

This week, Pastor Steve Henry continues our journey through the Gospel of John as we examine Peter's denial of Jesus in John 18:12–27. Though Peter's moment is famous, Scripture shows that we too deny Christ—through compromise, silence, fear, and living for our own comfort. Pastor Steve walks us through three reasons Peter denied Jesus: 1. He wasn't willing to jeopardize his comfort. 2. He was afraid of people. 3. He let emotions—not the Holy Spirit—govern his commitment. But Peter's story doesn't end in failure. He repented, he was restored, and he lived a bold, sacrificial life for Christ. His transformation invites us to ask: Does my life demonstrate repentance? Am I confessing Christ or denying Him? Join us as we learn from Peter's mistakes, embrace true repentance, and rediscover what wholehearted discipleship looks like in a world that often prefers comfort over conviction.

Traditional Worship | Rev. Drew Essen | The Gospel of John is without a doubt one of the most fascinating books in the Bible. Often called the “spiritual gospel,” this unique and powerful testimony provides us with an up close and personal perspective of Jesus like no other book ever written. From the prologue to the epilogue, the main message of John's Gospel is that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and we can have eternal life by believing in Him. Beautifully crafted, the book has an abundance of signs, symbols and miracle stories. In the coming weeks we will journey through this amazing testament, and we invite you to come and journey with us as Jesus' identity is made known to the people of His time and to us today through its timeless message. We are delighted that you have chosen to worship with us, and we pray your spirit will be fed.

John 15: 1 - 11

Full Gospel Center's Pastor Rick Leonardi preaching the message "Gospel of John - Part 38" on 11/16/2025 referencing John 11:1-16.

November 16, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class   In this episode a church class dives into John 4:21–24 to unpack what it means to "worship the Father in spirit and in truth." The host leads a practical, Scripture-based conversation that revisits Jesus' exchange with the Samaritan woman and challenges listeners to evaluate the sincerity, direction, and authority of their worship. Key biblical passages referenced include John 4, Matthew 15, Acts 17, Colossians 2:23, Psalm 122:1, Proverbs 14:12, and Isaiah 42:8. The episode features contributions and anecdotes from congregation members—Barrett (on the "I AM" statements), Clint Harbison (on singing to God, not the crowd), Phil and others—making the discussion interactive and grounded in real worship experiences. Questions from attendees shape the conversation about practical church life and personal devotion. Major themes include distinguishing true worship from three kinds of false worship (vain/empty worship, ignorant worship, and will-worship/self-made religion), the scriptural requirement that worship be directed toward God alone, and why God does not have to accept worship offered outside His revealed will. The message emphasizes that worship is not a matter of personal preference but of obedience to God's Word. The host and guests also address concrete, everyday issues: the importance of preparing your heart before coming to assembly, maintaining the right attitude and spirit during singing, prayer, and the Lord's Supper, avoiding distractions that hinder others, and resisting the urge to use worship to impress people or elevate leaders. Practical tips include being mentally prepared, focusing on the meaning of the Lord's Supper, and balancing encouragement with humility. The episode stresses a cultural shift from consumer-minded attendance to a giver's posture—asking "What can I do for God?" rather than "What will I get?" Listeners are encouraged to point praise to God when affirming others, so encouragement builds faith rather than ego. In closing, the class reminds listeners that worship is the most important activity of the week and a rehearsal for eternity: learn to worship rightly now so you can join in heaven's unending praise. Expect candid reflection, scripture teaching, practical application, and timely encouragement to prepare your heart and actions for authentic worship.   Duration 40:53

Message from Perry Marshall on November 16, 2025

Join us as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John. In John 11 we encounter three siblings who are dearly beloved friends and followers of Jesus—Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The brother, Lazarus, suddenly has a turn for the worse and dies. And four days pass while Jesus is absent! How does Jesus handle the situation? How does He speak to both Mary and Martha who are emotionally handling the situation differently? How does Life confront Death? Join us as we learn several powerful lessons from our Omnipotent Loving Lord!

Join us as we worship the Lord and continue our journey through the Gospel of John! Jesus declared, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand." (John 10:27-28). There are so many powerful truths in the second half of John 10. One major one being that NO POWER, physical or spiritual, can snatch us out of the hand of Christ!

Joe Donaldson teaching on John 4:43-54. Below are discussion questions from his teaching: What aspects of God can you “selfishly” be drawn to at the exclusion of other of His aspects?What aspects of God do you sense Him wanting you to experience more of?Does this lesson feel convicting, inviting, or both?

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton explore Geerhardus Vos's profound treatment of faith in the Gospel of John (pp. 390–392 of Biblical Theology). Vos unfolds faith not as an abstract belief but as a living, continuous union with the incarnate and ascended Truth—Jesus Christ Himself. John's theology binds faith and truth together: the Son comes down from heaven as the true light, true bread, true vine, and the Truth (John 1:9; 6:32; 15:1; 14:6). Faith, therefore, is a Spirit-wrought communion with the heavenly reality revealed in Him. Tipton and Bucey trace how this Johannine vision lifts believers from the shadowy worship of the old covenant to true, eschatological worship "in spirit and in truth." Faith beholds Christ even now, anticipating the beatific vision. In contrast to philosophical or impersonal notions of truth, Vos insists that truth is personal, Trinitarian, and heavenly—rooted in the self-revealing God. Thus, saving faith is not blind trust but an intimate, knowing participation in the life of the risen Christ, a foretaste of the age to come.
