In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Ethan Callison and Andrew McPheron unpack the powerful and humbling words of John the Baptist from John 3:22–36:“He must increase, but I must decrease.”This passage dives deep into the heart of discipleship, challenging us to lay down pride, comparison, and control to make much of Jesus. From wrestling with jealousy to reflecting on God's wrath, this rich discussion touches on biblical theology, Old Testament imagery, cultural context, and everyday life application.

If you like to plan and be in control, the Spirit blowing where He wishes can be unnerving.

Death is all around us. We often pretend otherwise, but the fact is, it's coming to us all. Since the dawn of time, people have tried to cheat death, whether through magic, diet, or (increasingly) technology. Would the life gained through these means be eternal life? Or is Jesus promising something different? Not surprisingly, Matthew here outlines that life with Jesus, eternal life, is not the same as life uploaded to the cloud... Texts:Ezekiel 47.1-12John 4.1-15John 3.16

At the business end of John 3.16, John tells us that those who put their trust in Jesus will "not perish". What, then, will happen to them? That's what soteriology, the doctrine of salvation, is all about. Looking at Ephesians 1, Tim outlines some of the benefits of salvation as Paul describes them for the Corinthians. But what of those who don't put their trust in Jesus? Tim finishes with some brief reflections on what kinds of creatures humans are, drawn from Psalm 49, and concluding with the hope of resurrection.Texts:Psalm 49Ephesians 1.3-14John 3.16-21

#1 STAKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE ON CHRIST #2 STAKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE IN CHRIST #3 STAKE YOUR WHOLE LIFE FOR CHRIST

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NLT) *Enjoying Pastor Greg's devotional podcast? Let us know what you think with this quick survey!* The Bible’s greatest example of communicating the gospel is none other than Jesus Christ. Not only is He God, not only is He our Savior, but He also offers the perfect example of communication. He modeled how to communicate. You can read story after story in the Gospels of how Jesus approached people and how He spoke with them. It’s worth noting that some of the most profound statements that Jesus ever made took place in one-on-one conversations. The words of John 3:16, which may be the most famous verse in the Bible, were spoken during Jesus’ one-on-one conversation with a religious man named Nicodemus. One thing you’ll notice about Jesus is that He adapted His message to the people He spoke to. He adjusted how He communicated depending on the person’s needs, background, and situation in life. He was equally comfortable with—and effective in—talking to everyone from Israel’s leading religious leaders to the outcasts of society. Often when believers share their faith, they behave as though they’re preprogrammed computers. They get a glazed-over look in their eyes and repeat the same words to every person. It’s no wonder that the people they speak to tend to dismiss them as religious nuts and keep their distance. This one-size-fits-all approach to sharing God’s truth is certainly not the example that Jesus gave us. He took time with people. He made an effort to understand them. Jesus also possessed something that is unknown to many Christians today. It’s called tact; it’s the intuitive knowledge of saying the right thing at the right time. Though it involves intuition, tact can be learned and sharpened with experience. Every time you interact with someone, you can come away with a better understanding of what you did right and what you could do better. All it takes is a little awareness. In order to follow Jesus’ example, we need to treat each faith-sharing interaction as a unique opportunity. Instead of falling back on the “same old same old,” we need to stay in the moment. We need to listen carefully and compassionately to the things people share. We need to ask thoughtful follow-up questions to draw them out more, without getting too personal or setting off red flags. We need to be vulnerable and open about our own struggles, questions, and doubts. We need to build a rapport. We need to look for natural openings to talk about our faith, rather than awkwardly trying to inject a gospel presentation in the middle of a conversation about something else. Most of all, however, we need to pray. We need to ask God to guide our words, to give us the wisdom to know what to say and when to say it. God’s desire is for us to be like His Son. If we pray for the ability to talk to others as Jesus did—to share God’s life-giving message as He did—God will answer our prayers in powerful and life-changing ways.

There is no doubt the world is a place of great need, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the extent and complexity of that need.  It's hard to know where to even begin.  Can do we end hunger?  Can we fix unjust systems?  Can we save the world?   Only God can heal us and make whole what we have broken. God demonstrated this on the cross. Instead of creation ending in death, a new path was opened. In him, our deep wrong is transformed so that we, too, can reflect and reveal the love of God.  We don't have to fix the world in our lifetime. We don't have to win the war against evil. This is God's world and God loves the world and Jesus is coming again. It's not all up to us. We are free to joyfully reflect God's love without feeling pressure to do more than we can do.

You Must Be Born Again (John 3:1-21) - Morning Sermon

1 Kings 18-19; 20 Proverbs 16; 2 John; 3 John; 65 Jude

At Mizpah, a significant and important holy place in Israel, where the men of Israel swore an oath which prevented any of them allowing any of their daughters to marry any of the remaining Benjamites. With deepest regrets they puzzled over a solution. It involved 400 of the remaining, stealing wives from the Jabesh-Gileadites, who had failed to support the united campaign to eradicate the Benjamites. That city was butchered apart from the 400 virgins, who were given to the cowering remnant. Additionally there was an annual festival held at Shiloh, whence the Tabernacle resided and it was from here that the remaining wives were stolen. The book concludes with the sad epithet- “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in their own eyes.” (21verse 25)

John 3:5-10,14-175 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.' 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.10 “You are Israel's teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things?  14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  

John the Baptist was a fiery prophet boldly calling people to repentance.

Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.Feast of the Holy TrinityJohn 3:1-18; Romans 11:33-36; Psalm 29

1. Grace is an Illogical Truth. (v.1-15)2. The Heights of Unimaginable Grace. (v.16-21)

John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave is only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life," is very likely the most well-known and quoted verse in the Bible. Unfortunately however, this beautiful declaration of God's loving grace is also one of the most misunderstood, misinterpreted, and inaccurately used verses in the Bible as well. This episode provides a detailed explanation of John 3:16 in order to encourage the listener in his or her knowledge of God, understanding of God's truth, and spiritual well-being in Christ. Scripture referenced: Numbers 21:4-9, Psalm 5:7, Psalm 23:6, Psalm 32:10, Psalm 35:5, Psalm 63:3, Psalm 86:5, Psalm 103:8-11, 17, Psalm 107:1, Jeremiah 31:31-34, Ezekiel 36:22-27, Matthew 5:14-16, Matthew 12:40, John 3:1-18, John 6:63, John 10:27-30, John 15:9, John 17:23, Romans 5:18, Romans 6:23, Romans 8:35-39, Romans 9:9-16, Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-9

16 For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret : ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam aeternam. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world, but that the world may be saved by him.Non enim misit Deus Filium suum in mundum, ut judicet mundum, sed ut salvetur mundus per ipsum. 18 He that believeth in him is not judged. But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God.Qui credit in eum, non judicatur; qui autem non credit, jam judicatus est : quia non credit in nomine unigeniti Filii Dei. 19 And this is the judgment: because the light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil.Hoc est autem judicium : quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexerunt homines magis tenebras quam lucem : erant enim eorum mala opera. 20 For every one that doth evil hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved.Omnis enim qui male agit, odit lucem, et non venit ad lucem, ut non arguantur opera ejus : 21 But he that doth truth, cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, because they are done in God.qui autem facit veritatem, venit ad lucem, ut manifestentur opera ejus, quia in Deo sunt facta.

Pastor Adam Bueltel from Mission Road Bible Church reflects on an account from the Gospel of John that is about John the Baptist which more rightly magnifies the identity of Jesus, as he shares with us three commitments in the life of a believer that magnify the focus on Christ.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Kathryn Wright and Ken Yates are discussing John 3:36. In the Bible, does the wrath of God usually refer to the Lake of Fire? What are the options? Thank you for listening and keep grace in focus!

In this episode, Ronn & Mike explore Nicodemus' interview with Jesus as recorded in John 3:1-21. They discuss the possiblew misconceptions surrounding the Mosaic law, the Jewish expectations of what a messiah would accomplish, the nature of Jesus' teachings, and the meaning behind the term 'born again.' The conversation highlights the historical context of the Pharisees and their relationship with Jesus, as well as the broader themes of Gentile inclusion and understanding what kind of thought world Jesus would have shared with someone like Nicodemus.
