“Deity of Christ” believers have claimed that Isaiah saw Jesus, the “second person of the Godhead”, in Isaiah's vision of God recorded in Isaiah 6. The deity-of-Christ claim is that when John wrote, “Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him” (John 12:41) that when Isaiah saw God sitting on his throne in a vision, Isaiah saw Jesus.Did the prophet Isaiah, who claimed the God of Israel was the Father, claim to have seen God the Son and his glory?Or, was John claiming that "his glory" which Isaiah prophetically saw was the glory of the Servant of YHVH God?Resources: Written text of this podcast: https://landandbible.blogspot.com/2026/07/john-1237-45-john-does-not-claim-that.htmlBill Schlegel One God Report: https://www.youtube.com/@billschlegel1The Trinity is NOT Biblical: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1VuvKEyB0gDeity of Christ Interpretations of Scripture Dishonor Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2VOKEvGqAwWhat About John 1?

Sometimes we see things that change us. And for the disciples - they saw Jesus risen from the dead - and they were changed forever. Their grief turned to joy, their fear turned to peace, and their doubt turned to faith and worship - showing us that when people encounter the risen Jesus for themselves, they are transformed. Have you been changed by him?

**The Power of the Word | Jesus, John 1:1, Praying Scripture & Aligning Our Will with God's Will**What does it truly mean that *"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God"* (John 1:1)? How does this incredible truth shape our faith, our prayers, and the way we navigate everyday life?In this powerful episode, we explore the profound revelation of Jesus as the eternal Word of God. Long before creation came into being, Jesus was present with the Father—one with the Creator, active in creation, and central to God's redemptive plan for humanity. Understanding this foundational truth transforms not only our theology but also the way we trust God with every detail of our lives.Together, we unpack the beautiful imagery of God as the Potter and us as the clay. If the One who spoke the universe into existence is also the One carefully shaping our lives, then we can rest in the confidence that He already sees the finished masterpiece. Even when life feels uncertain, painful, or confusing, God is never improvising. He is lovingly forming us according to His perfect purpose, refining our character, strengthening our faith, and preparing us for the good works He has already planned.We also dive deep into the life-changing practice of praying God's Word. Rather than approaching prayer with our own limited understanding, we discover the power of praying Scripture and allowing God's promises to shape our hearts. As we pray His Word, our desires begin to align with His will, our faith is strengthened, and we become increasingly sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.Prayer is not about persuading God to do what we want. Instead, it is about surrendering ourselves to His perfect will. It is in that place of surrender that peace replaces anxiety, hope overcomes fear, and faith rises above circumstances. When our hearts align with God's heart, we begin to see His kingdom at work in ways that often exceed our expectations.Hebrews reminds us that *"the word of God is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword."* God's Word is not simply ancient literature or inspirational teaching—it is living, powerful, and continually accomplishing His purposes. Every promise carries divine authority. Every Scripture breathes life. Every truth has the power to transform hearts, renew minds, and bring healing where it is needed most.Transformation may begin quietly. Circumstances may not change overnight. Feelings may not shift instantly. Yet God's Word never returns empty. It continues to accomplish exactly what He intends, shaping our hearts, renewing our minds, strengthening our faith, and drawing us ever closer to Him.Whether you're walking through a season of uncertainty, waiting for breakthrough, seeking direction, or simply longing to deepen your relationship with Jesus, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical insight into the power of Scripture-filled prayer. Be reminded that the Creator of the universe knows you personally, loves you completely, and is faithfully working all things together according to His perfect plan.If this episode encourages you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to be reminded of the power of God's living Word. Our prayer is that as you listen, you'll be inspired to trust Jesus more deeply, pray Scripture with greater confidence, and rest in the assurance that the One who began a good work in you is faithful to bring it to completion.**Keywords:** Power of the Word, John 1:1 explained, Jesus the Word of God, praying Scripture, Christian podcast, Bible study podcast, faith, God's promises, Hebrews 4:12, living Word of God, Christian encouragement, biblical teaching, prayer, surrender to God, aligning with God's will, spiritual growth, discipleship, trusting God's plan, Christian living, miracles, Holy Spirit, Bible-based faith, Jesus Christ.

Why does God allow His children to experience suffering? In this message, Russ Andrews examines Jesus walking on the water in John 6 to reveal how God uses life's storms to strengthen our faith, deepen our relationship with Christ, and shape us into His image. Through biblical examples and powerful stories of believers who endured hardship with hope, you'll be encouraged to trust God's purpose even in the darkest seasons. If you're facing trials, this message offers the assurance that Jesus sees you, prays for you, and will never leave you in the storm.

Speaker - David Wood

John Bevere shares a powerful message on the second coming of Jesus, reminding us that the hope of Jesus' return is meant to shape how we live today. Through Scripture, he challenges us to fix our minds on heaven, remain faithful in our walk with God and live with the urgency of those eagerly awaiting their King. 

Uflourish Church elder, Ed Wade, looks at John 8:12-20, where Jesus describes himself as the light of the world. Ed walks us through similar passages across Scripture and helps us recognize that Jesus doesn't just shine a light on the destination, but he gives us light for each step along the way. Our call then is to receive the light of his direction with a humble posture each day, and while we don't know which way he'll take us, we can trust that his way is the best way.

The fact Genesis reveals the foundational Truth of God is confirmed by the teaching of Jesus, who treats its account of the Creation, Fall & Flood as literal. *GENESIS 1 reveals a personal supernatural God created this world. So, life did not arise by accident as evolution teaches. He created man in His image, with authority to rule. Man did not descend from apes, but is a direct creation of God. *GENESIS 2 describes His special creation of man (v7), made us in His image to have fellowship with Him (3:8). As our Creator, He is our Owner & Lord, with an absolute right to rule us & define who we are & our purpose. He makes the rules & sets the boundaries. He put Adam & Eve under obedience, and explained the result of rebellion (v17). God defines right & wrong, there are absolutes, and we're accountable to God; if we rebel, there are consequences & judgment. God created man as male & female (1:27, 2:18-25), the origin of sexuality, with Adam & Eve the original pattern. He instituted marriage between a man & a woman & family. *GENESIS 3 reveals the devil tempted them into sin. As a result, man died spiritually & was cast out of God's Presence. Sin resulted in man losing God's blessing & coming under curse, bringing suffering, sickness & physical death. As man was given authority over nature & the animal kingdom, the curse also came on his domain. So, man is sinful by nature, cut off from God & under His judgment. But God shared the Gospel of the Messiah with them (v15) and they trusted in Him (v21). Genesis 3 reveals man is a fallen being, who needs salvation. Only by understanding this does the Gospel make sense. If there's no personal God, no absolute right & wrong, no sin & judgment, then there's no need for salvation. *GENESIS 4-6 teaches Adam transmitted the sin-nature in his flesh to all his seed (1:11-25), as seen with Cain (4:7,8) & Seth (5:3) and confirmed by Jesus (John 3:6). Due to the inherited sin-nature, sin multiplied (6:5), necessitating a world-wide Flood, proving God will judge man for his sin. So, the Truth is there's a righteous God, who expects us to live righteously. But all have sinned and so are under His judgment. We must accept this truth, to understand & believe the Gospel & be saved. He also revealed the Gospel of salvation (the solution to man's problem), by His provision of salvation for Noah & family from the judgment of the Flood. The ARK is a picture of CHRIST, our refuge from judgment, who offers Himself to us to cover & protect us. Christ, our Ark of Salvation, took God judgment on Himself, so that all who trust in Him & take refuge in Him, will be put in Him & be saved from judgment. The Truth of Genesis is settled for a Christian by seeing what Jesus said about these issues, for if we believe He is the Truth (John 14:6) and the true God, then He knows what's true & what's false, and His teaching must be true, the authoritative Word of God, as He claimed (Matt 5:21,27,31, 33,38,43). He spoke as God, the Fount of all authority & will judge us by our response to His words (John 12:48-50). He claimed all His words come from God, and so are without error. This is especially clear in Matthew 28:18-20, where the risen Christ commands His disciples to teach all men: “to observe ALL THINGS I COMMANDED you.” If He'd taught errors He'd not have endorsed everything He taught in His earthly ministry, and tell His apostles to teach the same. Thus, we expect the apostles' teaching to agree with His teaching on these issues. He affirmed that all of God's Word (including Genesis) is truth (John 17:17, Matt 4:4, John 10:35, Luke 24:25-27, 44-45), as did the apostles (2Tim 3:16). He often quoted Genesis, treating it as His final authority in disputes. He believed Genesis was historically true. Some examples of this are: *1. JESUS believed in a historical MOSES, and that he wrote the first 5 books of the Bible. He validated Moses & his writings, including Genesis (John 5:39-40, 45-47). *2. He believed in a historical ADAM, the first man, directly created by God, and affirmed Genesis as historical fact (Luke 3:38, Mark 10:6, Matt 19:4, John 8:44), as did the apostles (Rom 5:12-21, 8:19-211Tim 2:13,14, 1Cor 15:22,45, Jude 1:14). Rom 5:12-21 confirms the Genesis account of a literal Adam, who sinned, and from whom sin & death was transmitted to all men. It uses Adam as a type of Christ, so the Gospel is based on the historicity of Adam. *3. He confirmed ABEL (Genesis 4) was a historical character – the first murder victim, CREATION WEEK (Luke 11:50-51), as does Heb 11:4, 12:24). Hebrews 11 confirms the historicity of many Old Testament heroes. *4. He confirmed the historicity of NOAH and the world-wide FLOOD (Gen 6-9, Matt 24:38-39, Luke 17:27), as did the apostles (1Pet 3:20, 2Pet 2:5, 3:6). He also confirmed the literal destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah and Lot's deliverance (Matt 10:15, 11:23-24, Mark 6:11, Luke 10:12, 17:28-32), as did the apostles (Rom 9:29, 2Pet 2:6-8, Jude 1:7, Rev 11:8).

Psalm 36Romans 3:9-20, 23.Luke 18:11 Charles Spurgeon wrote about this account: "You see, it is not a case of the deliberate choice of sin; but rather of being deluded through neglect of the word of God, which is the true guide of the pilgrim."Proverbs 7:5 His Word points us to Jesus (John 1:1)His Spirit convicts us (Gal. 5:17) For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.Proverbs 27:17 Matthew 12:24  Proverbs 9:10 Psalm 139:23 Colossians 4:6 Gal. 5:22-23Psalm 1 1 Thessalonians 5:22John 4:13-14, 28  1 JohnRevelations 21:23 Lamentations - 3:19-24

The Counterintuitive Path to Following Jesus | John 12 Bible StudyIn this episode of the Rooted & Raised Podcast, we dive into John 12 and explore one of the most challenging truths Jesus ever taught:"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." – John 12:24The world tells us to chase comfort, success, and self-preservation. Jesus teaches the exact opposite. In John 12, we see Mary's extravagant worship, Jesus' triumphal entry, and His call for believers to surrender their lives in order to truly live.In This Episode:✔️ Why Mary poured out expensive perfume on Jesus✔️ The difference between true worship and religious appearance✔️ What Jesus meant by "losing your life" to find it✔️ Why following Christ often feels counterintuitive✔️ How surrender leads to spiritual fruitfulness✔️ Practical ways to apply John 12 to your daily walkWhether you're new to the Bible or have been following Christ for years, John 12 offers a powerful reminder that God's way is often very different from our own.

A @Christadelphians Video: **Video Title:** One in Christ: Complimentary Roles #2 – ‘Sisters in Service' with Bible Student Mark O'GradyJoin us for this **thought-provoking** and **insightful** presentation as Bible Student Mark O'Grady continues our ‘Complimentary Roles' series. In this second session, ‘Sisters in Service', we turn our focus to the beautiful, God-given role of sisters within the ecclesia. This is not merely a study of function—it is an **expositional** look at the heart of true discipleship: the spirit of service.From the women who travelled with our Lord to the faithful sisters commended by Paul in Romans 16, we uncover a **wonderful** truth: service is not second‑rate in God's eyes. It is a **revealing** reflection of Christ Himself, who “came not to be ministered unto, but to minister”. We explore the practical care, unseen sacrifices, and spiritual depth of sisters like Priscilla, Phoebe, Mary, and Martha—learning that all genuine service begins at the feet of Jesus.Whether you are a brother or sister, this study will challenge and inspire you to embrace a servant's heart, support one another, and recognise the **outstanding** contribution of sisters in God's family.

We look at many things in our world through our hopeful lense of who they can be. We strain to glean inspiration and equitability with ideas and people, and in the end, that way of looking at the world is easy, because in the end, it comes back to our judgement which we tend to... Agree with! But what does it look like to look TO Jesus for everything? If you prefer to listen, stream, and/or watch, join us and subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@kingwoodmethodist

In this episode of Finding Purpose, Russ Andrews explores John 3:22–36 and the testimony of John the Baptist about Jesus Christ. Examining Jesus as the Son of God, the Bridegroom, and the One who came from heaven, Russ highlights why every person must answer the question, "Who is Jesus?" Discover how faith in Christ brings eternal life, freedom from comparison and envy, and the assurance of belonging to God's eternal kingdom.

Many people have their own ideas about who Jesus is, but we want to derive our picture of him from what the Bible says. Who is Jesus according to the man God appointed to introduce him to the world? Sermon Outline:I. The Lamb of God Who Takes Away SinII. The Savior of Humanity We Cannot ManufactureIII. The Son of God Who Demands a ResponseSermon Discussion Questions:1. What are some versions of Jesus you encounter in your own circles, whether in culture, on social media, or even in church, that fall short of the Jesus John introduces here? How do you help someone see the difference without coming across as harsh or dismissive?2. For some of us who have been Christians a long time, we have forgotten how big a deal it is that Jesus takes our sin and guilt away. How can we stay (or become) freshly amazed by his grace? 3. True knowledge of Jesus is a gift God gives by his Spirit, not something we achieve through accumulated religious experience. How should this shape the way we pray for people who don't yet believe? How does it relieve some of the pressure we put on ourselves when our conversations about Jesus don't seem to work?4. Who is one person in your life right now who needs to hear that Jesus is the Lamb who takes away sin? What is one specific, concrete way you could point them to Jesus this week?

What if the greatest blindness isn't physical, but spiritual?In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind and reveals a deeper truth: true sight comes from seeing Him. As the Light of the World, Jesus doesn't simply expose darkness—He opens eyes. This powerful encounter moves from blindness to belief, from rejection to worship, and challenges us to examine whether we are truly seeing Jesus.Join us as we continue The Beloved Gospel through John 9.Scripture: John 9:1–41 (ESV)www.overflowdfw.comSupport the show

Water, Wine, and the Glory of Jesus, John 2:1-11

In this episode, William Kane, Ben Crane, and Webb Simpson take a number of listener questions and then unpack Matthew 7:12. Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Our goal is that we would allow this verse to move past the layer of familiarity deep into our minds and down into our hearts so that it begins to transform the way that we live.We are continuing in our study in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah, the Son of the Living God, preached this message to show His followers what it looks like to be a disciple in His invisible kingdom as we live everyday lives in the real world.We are finishing up the third major section in the Sermon on the Mount, which deals with the practices of a disciple in the kingdom of God. Today, we close out section three of the Sermon on the Mount by looking at one little verse: the Golden Rule. This little verse is the Law of the Kingdom in summary.Topics covered:- Listener questions on wedge bounce and grind, perseverance in the faith, and how to keep God the main thing while chasing a dream- The two steps Jesus gives us in the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12)- For this is the Law and the Prophets- Love your neighbor as yourself and the connection to the Golden Rule (Matthew 22:37-40)- Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another (John 13:34-35)- How has Jesus loved us?- When we love one another, everyone wins: it glorifies God, it serves others, it gladdens us, and it draws people to Jesus (John 15:8-12)- What does love look like in action: bearing burdens, encouraging, honoring, forgiving, speaking the truth in love- Swing thoughtsFollow Bible Caddie:Instagram: @biblecaddieTikTok: @biblecaddieX: @biblecaddieListen and subscribe: https://www.biblecaddie.com/podcastInterested in starting a Bible Caddie Featured Group? groups@biblecaddie.comQuestions or inquiries: info@biblecaddie.comShop Bible Caddie: https://www.biblecaddie.com

What do you do when your faith feels shaky? When questions creep in and God feels distant, it can leave you wondering if something is wrong. But what if doubt isn't the end of your faith… but part of how it grows? In this message from Luke 7, we see John the Baptist—someone Jesus calls the greatest—wrestling with real doubt. And instead of rejecting him, Jesus meets him with truth, grace, and reassurance. This sermon reminds us that doubt doesn't disqualify us. It can actually draw us closer to God. If you've ever questioned, struggled, or wondered where God is in the middle of it all, this message is for you.• Doubt is a normal part of the journey of faith, not a failure• Honest doubts should lead to honest questions that bring us closer to God• Our faith is not in our certainty, but in the One we trust—JesusKey Scriptures:Luke 7:18–28Isaiah (Messianic prophecies referenced by Jesus)John 1:29–34If you're walking through doubt right now, don't run from God, run to Him. Bring your questions, be honest, and trust that He meets you there. Share this message with someone who may be struggling in their faith and remind them they're not alone.Bayou City Fellowship Tomball Campus | Cole Ellerbrock | April 26, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
