Do you ever wonder if Jesus really claimed to be God? Maybe you've heard people say, "Jesus never said he was God," or you've been asked, "Why believe Jesus is divine if he never claimed it?" These questions don't just come from skeptics outside the church—they show up in church, too. Even if you're not coming from a place of doubt, you might still wonder how well what we're taught about Jesus matches up with what he actually said. So, did the historical Jesus really claim to be divine? That's what today's discussion is all about. Today we're honored to have on Dr. Mikel Del Rosario. Mikel is a professor of Bible and theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He has coauthored 31 journal articles on apologetics and cultural engagement in Bibliotheca Sacra alongside his mentor, Darrell L. Bock. A member of the Evangelical Theological Society, Del Rosario hosts The Apologetics Guy Show, a podcast on YouTube and the Christianity Today Network, and previously hosted Dallas Theological Seminary's cultural engagement podcast, The Table. He lives in Chicago with his wife, where he enjoys teaching, writing, and engaging with culture. Please send us your feedback and questions to: podcast@summit.org

We’ll talk about that life transition and get some encouragement on this episode of Chris Fabry Live.

Can God's law bring life—or only condemnation? In this message we return to the story of the Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10:17–27) to explore the role of God's law in salvation, faith, and Christian obedience. Many Christians struggle to reconcile biblical passages that say "keep the commandments and you will live" with the New Testament teaching that no one is justified by the law. Did Jesus really mean that obedience leads to eternal life? Why does God demand perfection from imperfect people? And how can the law both condemn sinners and lead believers into life?

My sermons are the fruit of nearly 30 years of pastoral ministry, biblical counseling, formal seminary training, and a lifelong passion for God's Word.

Why did Jesus "lose" his hottest prospect? It seems like a sure thing when someone says, "I want to follow Jesus—just tell me how to be saved." Why did Jesus spoil it by telling him to keep the law—and then demand everything he owned? And if the man got to choose what he desired most, why did he go away sad? In this in-depth expository sermon on Mark 10:17–27 (with parallels in Matthew 19:16–30 and Luke 18:18–30), we walk verse-by-verse through one of the most sobering encounters in the Gospels. Jesus lovingly applies two spiritual tests that will reveal whether you have true, saving faith. If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating.

What do charges of blasphemy against Jesus teach us about who Jesus really is? Clearly the Jews, Scribes, Pharisees, and even Caiaphas the High Priest thought Jesus claimed to be God through what He said and what He did (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). Many skeptics, as well as Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter-day Saints have tried explaining away passages like Mark 2, where the Scribes thought Jesus was blaspheming. They believe Jesus only had the authority to forgive sins, not that He was God, the Son, incarnate. This week on the Profile, we will tackle this objection as well as delve into Matthew's account of Caiaphas tearing his robes in Matthew 26:65. Both passages (Mark 2:1-12 and Matthew 26:57-68) are solid evidence that Jesus, the Son of Man, is in fact God the Son, incarnate.

Is the Kingdom of God really exclusive? In this in-depth expository sermon on Mark 10:13–16, Jesus reveals the surprising entrance requirements for the most prestigious club in existence—and they are the exact opposite of what most people expect. In this message, we explore why Jesus became visibly angry when His disciples tried to keep children away, what it truly means to receive the kingdom like a child, and why humility—not strength, status, or self-reliance—is the defining mark of every true citizen of God's kingdom.

Send us a textMost sermons that I have heard, including some that I have preached myself, that focus on Simon Peter tend to portray him as something of a buffoon. They present Simon Peter as a boaster and a blowhard. Peter, as the Gospels admit, said and did some foolish things. But that did not make him a fool. Nor was he a coward. The bravest thing that Simon Peter ever did is probably not what you think. Dr. John Koessler is an award-winning writer and retired faculty emeritus of Moody Bible Institute.

How many times have you done something seemingly insignificant only to learn later that because of your action … you changed the life of someone else? Well, today as we continue our study on Passion, we’re going to be looking at First Samuel, chapter 16. God told Samuel to go to Bethlehem, a seemingly insignificant place … but as Dr. Mark Jobe, president of the Moody Bible Institute explains today, that act came with far reaching consequences … and likewise, when we obey God with the small things … they often turn into big things!

Did Jesus really say He was God? The Scribes, Pharisees, and the High Priest Caiaphas sure understood Jesus to be making that claim. They accused Jesus of blasphemy (see Mark 2; Matthew 26; Mark 2; Luke 5; and John 10). This week and next on the Profile, we will be examining two specific passages where Jesus is accused of blasphemy with apologist, author, and Professor of Bible and theology at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago Dr. Mikel Del Rosario. We will be discussing his new book Did Jesus Really Say He Was God? and exploring why the Bible gives us an accurate historical account of Jesus's life and ministry.

When Jesus was questioned about divorce, His answer went deeper than legal debates—He pointed back to creation itself. Quoting Genesis, Jesus reminded His listeners that God "made them male and female" and designed marriage to be a union where two distinct sexes come together as one flesh. What does the creation of male and female have to do with divorce? And what are the implications for homosexuality and transgenderism? In this message from Mark 10:6–9, we explore why Jesus grounded His teaching on marriage in God's original design, and how the differences between men and women are not flaws to be erased, but gifts meant to be joined together. God created male and female with real, meaningful distinctions. If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-stars rating. This helps others find the podcast.

What is our answer to critics who say the Old Testament only copied other literature? Or that the New Testament was written hundreds of years after the fact so the teachings of the original Apostles is lost? Do you ever wonder how we can be sure the Bible is truly God's Word? In this powerful message, we explore how the Bible came into existence, addressing tough questions and myths about Scripture, including: Did the Old Testament copy other ancient literature? Were the New Testament writings lost or corrupted over centuries? How does God inspire Scripture while using human authors? What does "verbal inspiration" and "inerrancy" really mean?

Many Christians read the Bible every day and still drift away. Peter explains why—and how to make sure that never happens to you.

When Jesus was asked a question about whether divorce for any reason was permitted in Scripture, he brought up two passages that don't even mention divorce. And his reason for doing that teaches volumes on how we are to interpret Scripture—as well as providing deep insight into the nature and wonder of marriage. In this verse-by-verse expository sermon from Mark 10:1–12, Jesus is tested by the Pharisees on the subject of divorce—but instead of debating loopholes, He takes them back to Genesis. By pointing to God's original design for male and female, Jesus reveals the purpose of marriage, the seriousness of divorce, and the divine nature of the marital bond.

Was the Virgin Birth copied from pagan myths? Did Matthew misquote Isaiah's prophecy? In this video, we show you how to respond to key challenges like these which are often heard around Christmas time. You'll hear from Search Ministries Apologist Mary Jo Sharp and Dallas Seminary professors Drs. Darrell Bock and Gordon Johnston as I share a few of my memorable conversations about these issues from my time in grad school hosting The Table podcast.
There is a tractor beam pulling you through life that determines where you will end up. But you have control over what that tractor beam is. Peter reveals the one that will pull you into the wisest and best decisions in life. Discover how a flash of light on an ancient hill can rewrite your future. On the Mount of Transfiguration. Peter, James, and John saw Jesus shine like the sun and flash like lightning—not as a reflection, but as the source of divine light. This wasn't just a miracle. It was a preview of the Second Coming, when every element melts, the Antichrist shatters under His splendor, and the universe is flooded with eternal, uncreated glory.

Stay Salty: Mark 9:49-50 Explained – What Jesus Taught about Suffering, Sanctification & Hell What does Jesus mean when He says "Everyone will be salted with fire" and "Have salt in yourselves"? In this expository message on Mark 9:49-50, we unpack one of the most difficult and controversial passages in the Gospels. Discover why suffering is the fire that makes Christians "salty," how losing your saltiness is a real and terrifying danger, and why Jesus ends with the command to "be at peace with each other." Key Topics: "Salted with fire" – Is this about hell, suffering, or Old Testament sacrifice? Why suffering refines and sanctifies believers (and why it's good to be "salty") If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-star rating.

Far more Americans believe in karma than believe in hell. People think hell is too harsh, but the doctrine of hell is actually more merciful than karma. Jesus taught the exact opposite of our culture's assumptions—and He did it in shocking, unforgettable language. In Mark 9:42–50, Jesus gives two of the most urgent warnings in Scripture: 1️⃣ Don't push people toward hell 2️⃣ Don't push yourself toward hell Why would Jesus give such intense warnings in a private teaching session with His disciples—and not the crowds? What dangers was He seeing in their lives? And why does Jesus connect eternal punishment with everyday things like influence, attitudes, habits, and desires?

Send us a textThe cure for Christmas melancholia is not, as a popular song tells us, that we “need a little Christmas right now.” Nor is it necessarily Puritan austerity or renunciation of all observance of Christmas. The cure, strange as it may seem, is good theology. Hi, this is John Koessler, jumping in before we start to let you know about a new book that would make a great gift for that person who loves both Christmas and reading. It's called Christmas Travelers, and it's a collection of reflections, essays, and poems about the birth of the Savior. It includes a number of beautiful color illustrations that make the hardcover or paperback a great gift for someone who cherishes the Advent and Christmas season, as well as for seekers who Dr. John Koessler is an award-winning writer and retired faculty emeritus of Moody Bible Institute. John writes the Practical Theology column for Today in the Word and a monthly column on prayer for Mature Living. He is the author of 16 books. His latest book , When God is Silent, is published by Lexham Press. You can learn more about John at https://www.johnkoessler.com.
Moody Bible Institute students have been told they cannot student teach in Chicago schools, a school district in Oregon had to pay $650,000 for violating speech rights of two employees, and AG Letitia James is attempting to undermine and close down Pregnancy Resource Centers in New York. V.P. of public affairs Lathan Watts with ADF joins us to review each case. Adflegal.org
Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Five Christmas Promises” with a discussion of John 4, which tells the story of the woman at the well. We see how Jesus stepped into her mess and changed her life, which is precisely what Jesus did in all of our lives. We also had Dr. Don Sweeting join us to break down John 4 and explain Jesus’s nurturing nature when He steps into our mess and helps us fix it. Dr. Sweeting is the recent President and Chancellor at Colorado Christian University. He’s a noted educator, minister, academic, and author. He is also an alum of the Moody Bible Institute. We also had Daniel Darling join us to discuss how Jesus stepped into the messiness and brokenness of this world. Daniel is a best-selling author, pastor, leader, and podcast host. His podcast is called “The Way Home”, and it features conversations with key Christian leaders on church, community, and culture. He has also written several books, including “The Characters of Christmas: the Unlikely People Caught Up in the Life of Jesus.” We also turned to the phone lines to ask listeners, “What mess in your life did Jesus step into and walk through?” Then we had Dr. Alex McFarland join us to discuss how Jesus is very present with us and how we should invite Him into our lives. Dr. McFarland is a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, religion and culture analyst, national talk show host, youth expert, and advocate for biblical truth. He is also the author of more than 20 books, including “100 Bible Questions and Answers on Prophecy and the End Times.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

"In Jesus' Name"—Christians say the phrase all the time—at the end of prayers, in spiritual conversations, even in spiritual warfare. But is it a magical formula? A Christian catchphrase? Or something far more profound? Why did Jesus say "in My name" FOUR times in just five verses and never again in the entire Gospel of Mark? In this sermon Mark 9:33–41, we explore Jesus' own teaching on His Name and discover a truth that dismantles pride, redefines greatness, accrues heavenly reward, and transforms ordinary acts of love into powerful acts of worship. This passage is NOT a random collection of sayings—it's a masterpiece that exposes our addiction to earthly greatness and shows the only cure: exalting the Name of Christ If you enjoy the episode, please consider subscribing to the podcast and leaving a 5-star rating.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme of “Prosperity” with discussions about seeking God’s kingdom before worldly possessions. As followers of Christ, we are to serve God first and remove any idols or false gods that take precedence in our lives. We also turned to the phone lines to ask our listeners to share how God redirected their affection from money and its providence to seeking the kingdom of God first. We then had Dr. Samuel Naaman join us to discuss Call of Hope, a ministry that reaches Muslims for Christ, and their initiative to gift children in Africa with a goat and the gospel. Dr. Naaman is a Professor of Intercultural Studies at the Moody Bible Institute. He is also the Vice President of Call of Hope. Then we heard from our listeners as they told us about their most unique gift from someone and how God used it. We then had Dr. Winfred Neely join us to discuss trusting in God’s promise of prosperity and abstaining from worry. Dr. Winfred Neely is the newly retired Vice President and Academic Dean of Moody Theological Seminary.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, "Good News." What does it mean to be immersed in the Holy Spirit? Our scripture reference was Mark 1:12-13. Dr. Andrew Schmutzer was our special guest. He is a professor of Bible at Moody Bible Institute and a writer. Dr. Schmutzer offered clarity into the connection between baptism and the Holy Spirit. As we head into the Thanksgiving break, listeners shared what they are most thankful for this season. We also welcomed Kelli Worrall, Professor of Communications at MBI. She shared details about a beautiful Christmas tradition at Moody called Candlelight Carols. It's a fun, faithful experience for all ages on December 5th and 6th.
