John: The Trial

Contributed by David Petticrew on May 11, 2003

A look at the trial motiff in John, where we are the ones on trial to see whether we accept or reject Jesus.

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn’t it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted five thousand dollars to compromise this case?" The witness stared out the window as though he hadn’t hear the question. "Isn’t it true that you accepted five ...read more

Sermon # 20 - A Seared Conscience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 27, 2023

If we do not listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we will allow our consciences to grow weak and get seared. The life of Lot and David will help us understand this better.

In 1 Timothy 4:1-2, we read, “The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons. Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.” (GNT) Our ...read more

Tripping On Jesus (Luke 7:17-35) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 7, 2024

In one key way, Jesus isn't the Messiah people (including John) expected. Are we ok that this piece is missing, or does it make us trip on the idea that Jesus is Messiah, and thus trip on God? A narrative/literary approach to Luke.

Today, I'm going to try to tackle a few interconnected episodes. It's kind of a lot, but this whole section teaches one main thing, and if we want to hear that one thing, we need to grab it all at once. The simplest onramp to today's verses is to begin, simply, by rereading last ...read more

Mark 1:1-8 What Would John The Baptist Say To You

Contributed by Don Schultz on Dec 5, 2002

This is a time of the year for cliches and spiritual sappy-talk. John the Baptist offers a fresh perspective.
