Jesus And The Black Sheep (John 21:1-25) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 23, 2022

Jesus knows what Peter did, and restores him, and commissions him. Jesus leaves no sheep behind. Also, the two words for love don't matter at all-- Peter isn't trying to trick Jesus.

Let's start today by rereading our passage from two weeks ago, John 20:19-23: (19) Then, when it was evening on that day-- the first day of the week, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Judeans-- Jesus came, and he stood in their midst, and he says to ...read more

Getting Jesus Right (John 1:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 1, 2022

Who is Jesus, fully, really?

Everything for humans depends on getting Jesus right. We have to understand who Jesus is. What he came for. What he accomplished. And what he wants. If we get this wrong, we end up outside of God's kingdom, looking in. We end up darkness. We perish. But if we get all of this right, and ...read more

Point People To Jesus (John 1:19-28) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2022

John the Baptist understands that Jesus is important, and he is not. His sole job, is to point people to Jesus.

Last week, in John 1:1-18, AJ (Author of John) started his gospel by focusing on 2 people, telling us who they are, and what they came to do. The first, and easily more important, is Jesus. Jesus is the Word become flesh. He is the preexistent one. He is Life. He is Light. He is God. To ...read more

Come And See Jesus (John 1:43-51) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

Nathaniel is open-minded enough to come see Jesus for himself, and overcomes his initial skepticism. This makes him the ideal Israelite. Also, Jesus is not a ladder. Angels come "to" Jesus, not "upon" him.

This week, starting in John 1:43, we find ourselves on day 4. Let's just start there: (43) On the next day, he (Jesus) wished to depart to Galilee, and he finds Philip, and Jesus says to him, "Follow me." Already in the gospel of John, we've seen a number of people take the ...read more

What If The Fields Are White? (John 4:27-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

If they are, we need to be far more bold, in intentional, about pointing people to Jesus. Bonus discussion of how Greek imperfect verbs work.

Believing In Jesus Is Not Enough (John 8:12-59) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

In John, there are a cluster of verbs Jesus wants from us, to be full disciples, and we have to hold them all together. If we focus too hard on "believing," we will misunderstand Jesus, and what he wants.

Last week, we read just two verses from John 8, spending the rest of our time in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 13. I scratched my itch to get back to the OT, and I'm ready to take another shot at this. I say that, but this is probably the most depressing chapter (I hope!) in the entire gospel of ...read more
