Pastor Jeff Sparkman is back to continue our series through the Gospel of John! In John chapter 18 during trial of Jesus, we ask the same question Pilate asked 2000 years ago: “What is truth?” How do we know what to believe today and where to find truth?

Part 39 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 13:21-38

Art: Hi Rabbi Mordecai. Thanks for coming.Rabbi: Of course, Art. I'm looking forward to our conversation today. I want to know more about how I can have eternal life. And also I don't understand how there can be one God comprised of three persons.Art: Mordecai, I think answering your second question first would be best because that will lay an important foundation. Let's read from the Torah. Rabbi, would you please read Deuteronomy 6:4 in Hebrew first, and then in English?Rabbi: Sure. Let me begin. Deuteronomy 6:4Shema Yisrael Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echad.“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One!Art: Mordecai, surely the Shema tells us unequivocally that God is One. Do you agree?Rabbi: Of course.Art: Good. We are in agreement. Now as an Orthodox Rabbi, you know the Hebrew language well. So, I'm going to ask you to comment on the grammar of some of the words in this verse, Deuteronomy 6:4. OK?Rabbi: Sure. I'm happy to do that.Art: OK. I'm going to read the verse in Hebrew and then I'll ask you about the grammar.Shema Yisrael Adonai Elohenu Adonai Echad.Mordecai, what is the grammatical form or morphology or part of speech of the Hebrew word Elohenu?Rabbi: Elohenu is a plural noun. It's derived from the plural noun Eloheem. If we want to get technical Elohenu is a common masculine plural construct noun. It means our God.Art: Thanks Rabbi. Now what is the grammatical form of the Hebrew word Echad?Rabbi: Echad is singular. It is the number one, a cardinal number. It is absolutely singular, Art.Art: Thank you, Mordecai. Let me read another verse to you. Numbers 13:23Then they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.Now here Echad, the singular number one, is used to name something that is complex, something that is made up of more than one item namely a bunch or cluster of single grapes. Let me read one more verse to you, Rabbi:“Dan shall judge his people As one of the tribes of Israel.This is from Jacob's famous prophecy at the end of his life in Genesis 49, verse 16. In this verse one is Echad. But again Echad is describing one of a number of single things namely one of the tribes of Israel.Rabbi, I believe that Echad is nearly always, if not always, used in this manner. I could give you many more examples. Echad is therefore one but it's a complex one. Do you agree with this Rabbi?Rabbi: I have to say that you're correct, Art. In fact, come to think of it, there is a word in Hebrew that I'd like to define for you. Let me read you a verse first, Genesis 22:2:Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”Art, this verse is talking about the Akeedaah, the sacrificing of Isaac by his father Abraham. Now of course the LORD intervened and the sacrifice didn't occur. Abraham was being tested by the LORD. But the point here is that the word only is in Hebrew, yachid. Perhaps a better translation would be “Take now your son, your one and only, Isaac”. One in this verse is clearly not a complex one. It is a one that is indivisible. Abraham had only one son of promise, Isaac.Art: That's fascinating, Rabbi. Rabbi, I'm going to now pose to you an amplified translation of the Shema, Deuteronomy 6:4:“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God has a plural nature. He is Lord, the one and only Lord, and He has a complex makeup”.Rabbi: So, Art, let's say that I accept your explanation that God is a plural God, that He is a complex one. How does that help me to have eternal life?Art: Mordecai, I'm going to answer that question by reading three more verses. They're from the Gospel of John:John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.Mordecai, Yeshua is often called the Word in the New testament. He is the Son of God. Whoever believes in Him will never perish but will have everlasting life.Rabbi: I'm beginning to see something. Yeshua is equal to God. He is God. So if I believe in Him, He can grant me eternal life? Is Yeshua also the Messiah?Art: Rabbi, He is the Messiah and He can grant you eternal life if you believe in Him. Let's meet next week. I'll show you where the Tanach tells us that He's the Messiah.Rabbi: My head is exploding again Art. But in a good way. See you next week. This is a public episode.

Along with a special prayer over our dads in honor of Father's Day, Pastor Jeff Sparkman continues our series through the Gospel of John in John 18 where we see the trial of Jesus before Pilate. Pilate asks the famous question, what is truth? We discuss the humanity of Jesus, religion vs. relationship, and discerning truth in our day and age.

This week, Pastor Jeff Sparkman continues our series through the Gospel of John in John chapter 18, with Peter's denial. We can all see a little bit of ourselves in the disciple Peter. This passage helps show us how to deal with failure in life, and how it's never the end, but only an opportunity to grow and walk closer to Jesus.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMIn this episode, I cover a verse from the Gospel of John (John 20:21-23) that greatly disturbed me as a protestant. Jesus literally gave the Apostles the authority to forgive or not forgive sins! I had no framework for understanding this as a protestant. In retrospect, I now see it as the beginning of my journey to the Catholic Church.See our Quote Archive on the Sacrament of Confession in the Church Fathers: https://eternalchristendom.com/becoming-catholic/quote-archive/sacrament-of-confession/VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONHelp us continue to dig into the Great Tradition; produce beautiful, substantive content; and gift these treasures to cultural orphans around the world for free:https://eternalchristendom.com/become-a-patron/EXCLUSIVE DISCOUNTS AT ETERNAL CHRISTENDOM BOOKSTOREhttps://eternalchristendom.com/bookstore/CONNECT ON SOCIAL MEDIAX: https://twitter.com/JoshuaTCharlesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshuatcharles/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuatcharles/DIVE DEEPERCheck out Eternal Christendom's "Becoming Catholic," where you'll find hundreds of thousands of words of free content (as big as the Bible!) in the form of Articles, Quote Archives, and Study Banks to help you become, remain, and deepen your life as a Catholic:https://eternalchristendom.com/becoming-catholic/EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 - Introduction03:35 - A Disturbing Verse05:48 - A Disturbing Lack of Answers10:27 - A Disappointing Silence15:52 - The Tip of the Patristic IcebergLISTEN ON APPLEhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eternal-christendom-podcast/id1725000526LISTEN ON SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3HoTTco6oJtApc21ggVevu

Part 32 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 10:22-42

Friends of the Rosary,Today, in the Gospel of John (John 17:20-26), Christ Jesus prays for our unity with him and with each other.“I have given them the glory you gave me,so that they may be one, as we are one,I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one, that the world may know that you sent me, and that you loved them even as you loved me.”Jesus, who speaks and acts in the very person of God, wants us to be brought to perfection as one.“I made known to them your name and I will make it known,that the love with which you loved memay be in them and I in them."Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

This week, Pastor Ben Watts continues our series through the Gospel of John in chapter 18, where we step into the most pivotal moments in all of Scripture — the betrayal and arrest of Jesus. Chapters 18–20 cover only three days, yet they contain the most important events in human history: the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These moments didn't just mark the end of Jesus' earthly ministry, they changed the world forever!

Part 31 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 10:11-21

In addition to a major update on our building project, this Sunday we continued our series in John 17 with Jesus' prayer for unity. All of God's Word is vital, but this particular passage speaks powerfully to where we are right now as a church. The Bible shows us how to walk in unity, what truly unites us, how to view denominational differences, and how to cultivate unity in your family, church, and community. Where there is unity, God commands a blessing!

Friends of the Rosary,Christ the Son and the Father come to each of us and adapt their dwelling, knowing our struggles and weaknesses, as we read today in the Gospel of John (John 14:23-29)."Whoever loves me will keep my word,and my Father will love him,and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him."Also in the main reading, the Lord Jesus says that the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in Christ's name, will teach his disciples everything.The Holy Spirit, the Advocate, is the love shared by the Father and the Son."Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.Not as the world gives do I give it to you.Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid."Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New York• ⁠May 25, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Pastor Jeff Sparkman's message in John 17 comes from Jesus' longest recorded prayer in the Bible, where He prays specifically for unity among believers. Prayer and Biblical unity is a crucial part of our walk as believers. What is unity... and what isn't it?

Part 30 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 10:1-10

On this Mother's Day, our next passage in the Gospel of John very fittingly compares the disciple's mourning to the anguish of a mother in childbirth, which doesn't compare to the joy she experiences once the baby is born! Similarly, the pain and trials we endure on this earth are only temporary, and do not compare to the joyful reality of our future with Christ. We have hope in Jesus, no matter what we are going through!

This Sunday our own Kelley Schubert is speaking on the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives in John 16. We often take for granted the incredible gift we have today with the Holy Spirit active in our daily lives!

Part 28 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 8:31-47

Gospel of John | John 21:1-12 | Pastor Ian Gilchrist

We are back in John this week on the topic of persecution and opposition in the Christian walk. There will always be trials in our lives, as Jesus said "If the world hates you, know that it hated me first." John 15:18. But Jesus promised to be with us always, and has given us power to resist and overcome temptation. Feeling tempted isn't a sin - it's how you respond to that temptation!

Part 27 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 8:12-30

Pastor Jeff Sparkman is back in the Gospel of John, Chapter 15 this week with Jesus' famous teaching on the vine and branches. This passage is about pruning, and how we should respond when God takes things out our life. Willingness to grow and mature in Christ is a necessary part of walking with Him!

Welcome once again to the ⁠Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast This is the 42nd installment of the Ambassador ⁠Weekend review with our teacher Dr. John G. Mitchell. Dr.. Michell is looking into Jesus the one who is the good Shepherd, the faithful shepherd. Jesus states that no one will be able to snatch His sheep from His hands, not even themselves. Then Dr. Mitchell continues from John 10 on into John 11 to begin speaking of our savior as the Resurrection and the Life. Once again we see Jesus our Savior, the Word Who Was in the Beginning and who was with God and who is God. John's purpose in writing his gospel is 'that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God and that believing, you may have life in His name. Here is Dr. Mitchell John 10 and 11.

The Gospel of John // John 3:16

This Sunday in John 13 and 14, Jesus tells His disciples, "where I am going you cannot come, but one day you will be with me. In my Father's House there are many mansions, if it was not true I wouldn't tell you so." If you have a vision for something you prepare for it. If you have a vision for retirement you prepare and set aside money. Maybe the reason we don't prepare for heaven is because we don't have a vision for it. This Sunday, we spend some time imagining Heaven!

This Sunday in our series through the Gospel of John, Pastor Jeff Sparkman speaks on the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, praying in Jesus name, and Jesus's promise that we will do greater works. We pray for the Holy Spirit to empower us this week!

Part 24 of the series: The Gospel of John // John 7:25-36

Pastor Jeff Sparkman continues our series through the Gospel of John, this week in John Ch.13 where Judas commits to betray Jesus. Betrayal is something every one of us will experience in this life, some deeper than others. God's word shows us how we should deal with, heal through it, and stay whole in our emotions afterwards. How do we continue to trust after a betrayal and how do we make wise decisions about who we allow in our life to limit the pain of toxic relationships?
