I AM THE DOOR John 10.1-12 Gordon Dabbs, PhD John 10.1-9 (ESV) “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. Jesus chose to say something offensive: John 10.9 (ESV) I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The Pharisees' conclusions about Jesus: • John 9.16 (ESV) “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” • John 9.17 (ESV) “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” In a world where sheep were common, everyone knew how shepherds would lie down across the doorway/opening of the sheep's pen at night. Nothing went in our out unless it went through the shepherd. John 10.9 (ESV) I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The door doesn't trap sheep in their pen, it protects them. 1 Timothy 2.5 (ESV) For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus… John 14.6 (ESV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Acts 4.11-12 (ESV) This Jesus… there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Jesus is the door. This means: • Evaluate what enters your life. • Stop trying to be your own gatekeeper. • Practice boundary holiness. • When anxious, return to the door. He stands in the opening and says, “I am the door.” The door that guards. The door that holds. The door that leads to life.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

LIGHT OF THE WORLD John 8.1-12 Gordon Dabbs, PhD Through the Gospel, Christ shows us who we are: full, free, unfettered. Jesus came to help us recover what was lost. To restore us to who we truly are—God's beloved children. In John 8, Jesus makes this staggering declaration: “I am the light of the world.” John 8: Jesus teaches early one morning in the temple courts. Pharisees burst in, dragging a woman with them. John 8.3-4 (NLT) They put her in front of the crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery.” John 8.5 (NLT) “The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” John 8.6 (NLT) They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. What did He write? John never tells us. John 8.7 (NLT) . . . As they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” Eventually, everyone leaves. John 8.10-11 (ESV) Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” [leave up] Jesus doesn't say, “Change—and then I'll accept you.” He says, “You're accepted—now let me change you.” Titus 2.11-12 (ESV) . . . The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives. . . The Pharisees dragged her into the light to destroy her. Jesus stands with her in the light to restore her. Vs 12 - Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world.” The promise: John 8.12 (ESV) “Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” What's our response to this story? • Drop the Stones • Step Out of the Shadows • Follow the Light Daily Jesus doesn't just illuminate sin. He illuminates the way forward to life. “I am the light of the world.” Anyone willing to follow walks in the light.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Everyone is looking for something: Meaning. Direction. Security. Life. Jesus didn't just point the way—He said, “I am the way.” In the Gospel of John, Jesus makes seven bold “I Am” statements that tell us exactly who He is and why it matters. Each one speaks to a real human need and offers hope that still holds up in real life. In the "I Am" series, Dr. Gordon Dabbs helps us explore these powerful words of Jesus and discover what it means to trust Him—not just with our beliefs, but with our everyday lives.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

HOPE FOR THE JOURNEY 1 Thessalonians 4.13-5.11 Gordon Dabbs, PhD Our real and final destination is life everlasting with Jesus Christ—it's a new heaven and new earth. 1 Thessalonians 4.13 (ESV) We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. Our goodbyes in Christ are more like “See you later.” We grieve with hope. Why? 1 Thessalonians 4.14 (ESV) For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Paul gives us this amazing preview of Christ's return. 1 Thessalonians 4.16-18 (ESV) For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words. Thessalonians had a big question people still ask today. . . “When? When exactly is Jesus coming back?” 1 Thessalonians 5.1-3 (ESV) Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. We can't predict the exact moment Jesus returns. But we can be ready—because we belong to Him. And whenever that day comes, it will be the best day of our lives. Now, in this in-between time, how are we supposed to live? 1 Thessalonians 5.4-11 (ESV) But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. Today, if Paul were writing this letter, I think he might add something about screens. 1 Thessalonians 5.11 (ESV) Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. Paul says we should take with us on the journey. . . 1. Hope. 2. Encouragement. 3. Stay awake. 4. Don't fret over the arrival time 5. Connect to your church family. 6. Practice Consistent, Ordinary Obedience. And every mile, every tear, every step, every struggle will be worth it.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

READY AND WAITING Luke 12.35–38 Dr. Gordon Dabbs Sometimes, the best things in life are meant to surprise us. What we do know is enough: When He comes, the sky itself will open. The King will appear. And every eye will see Him. The thousand-year reign of Jesus: three major camps: • Premillennialism • Postmillennialism • Amillennialism What is the Rapture? The idea comes from a couple of verses in Luke 17: Luke 17.30-31, 34-35 (NLT) Yes, it will be ‘business as usual' right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed. On that day a person out on the deck of a roof must not go down into the house to pack. A person out in the field must not return home. . . That night two people will be asleep in one bed; one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding flour together at the mill; one will be taken, the other left. Over the arc of Christian history, believers have agreed on one big truth: Whatever the timeline, Jesus is coming back. Rapture? No rapture? Pre? Post? A-Millennialism? Look, there's no need to argue and divide over these questions because if you know Christ, you're on the right side of His story — no matter what your chart looks like. “We can be certain Jesus will return, but the order of events and happenings are less firm. I trust Jesus to work out all the details.” ~ Mary Wiley When it comes to Scripture, here's a good rule: Hold tightly to what's clear. Hold loosely to what's not. What IS clear from Scripture about the return of Jesus: 4 things... 1. It Will Be Personal Acts 1.11 (ESV) Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven. 2. It Will Be Sudden 3. It Will Be High Visibility 4. It Will Be Glorious Mark 8.38 (ESV) . . . The Son of Man . . . comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Until then, we are ready and waiting. Luke 12.35–38 (NLT) Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning, as though you were waiting for your master to return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks. The servants who are ready and waiting for his return will be rewarded. I tell you the truth, he himself will seat them, put on an apron, and serve them as they sit and eat! Waiting — because faith means trusting the Chef, the Conductor, the Pilot, and the Planner. We don't know every detail of the recipe. But we know the One preparing the feast. And that's enough.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise
