This week, Pastor Marshall teaches from John 18-19. In these chapters, Jesus is betrayed by Judas, Peter, and the nation of Israel. This betrayal leads to Jesus’ death on the cross and burial in a garden tomb. These chapters remind us that all sin is viewed as a betrayal against God and deserves punishment. However, Jesus took the punishment for our betrayal, and when we place our faith in Him, we are saved and welcomed into God’s family.
This week, Pastor Marshall teaches from John 15-17. In these chapters, Jesus speaks to His disciples during their last Passover meal together. He reminds them to abide in Him like a branch on a vine, to persevere in the coming persecution, and to walk in unity. These were the final words that Jesus gave His disciples before He was arrested and murdered, but they have significant application for us today.
This week, Lyell Walker teaches from John 13 and 14. In these chapters, Jesus provides us his final message to the disciples in the hours before his arrest and eventual crucifixion. By washing their feet, he provides a final example of what it means to be a servant to those he loves. These chapters show us how we are to love those Jesus came to love, and how we should look to Jesus as our example when it becomes very difficult to love as he loves.
This week, Pastor Marshall teaches from John 12. In this chapter, Mary worshiped Jesus with expensive oil and Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey to celebrate Passover. The crowds wanted Jesus to free them from the bondage of Rome, but Jesus came with a different agenda. This chapter shows us that God desires to give us the King we need, not necessarily the one we would choose. If we follow Jesus as King and obey His commands, God will reward us in eternity.
This week, Pastor Marshall teaches from John 11. In this chapter, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and the Jewish council decided that Jesus would die to save Israel from the wrath of Rome. The Apostle John used the resurrection of Lazarus to show Jesus’ love, and how the substitution of Jesus in death was central to gathering the children of God.
This week, Pastor Marshall reads through John 10. In this chapter, Jesus used the word picture of sheep and shepherds to illustrate His relationship with His people. He also used this imagery to teach about the wicked culture of thieves and robbers that don’t care for the sheep. This chapter shows us how Jesus is our good shepherd and helps us understand how we should live as His sheep.
This week, Pastor Marshall reads through John 9. In this chapter, Jesus heals a blind man, and the man is questioned in front of a religious counsel because he was healed on the Sabbath. The man is ultimately released from the questioning and later sees Jesus for the first time. The man confesses his belief in Jesus and worships. This story reminds us that genuine worship comes from a clear view of Jesus.
This week, Pastor Marshall reads through John 8 and shows how Jesus addressed sin in the life of an adulterous woman and the religious leaders. Jesus shows them both grace but requires obedience to “sin no more.” As Christians, we often build our convictions on what we think Jesus was trying to say, rather than what Jesus taught. In this chapter, Jesus is clear that sin is a slave master. If you want to be free, you must turn from sin and allow Jesus to set you free.
