Nichodemas & John the Baptist

Jeff Gordon

John 3:1-36

Jesus refers back to an event in the Old Testament when Moses lifted up a snake in the wilderness to be looked upon for personal salvation. Jesus likens himself to the snake, in such a way that he too will be lifted up and looked upon for personal salvation. We need spiritual rebirth which can only come through humble faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus' Work Begins

Jeff Gordon

John 2:1-22

Jesus begins his work on earth and starts performing miracles. His first miracle is to turn water to wine at a wedding in Cana. Jesus used the Jewish ceremonial washing jars as vessels for this miracle as a symbol of the importance of not just external washing but an internal cleansing. Jesus then displays his character and passion for God's house by clearing the temple courts. During this event, he also publicly predicts his death and resurrection.

The New Wine

Gary DeLashmutt

John 2:1-11

Jesus performs his first miracle at a wedding in Cana of turning water into wine. This miracle reveals three important aspects of Jesus' character. First, Jesus is life affirming and his existence enables joy in our life. Second, he is a humble servant who uses his authority to serve in a non-boisterous way. Third, he replaces external religion with internal life; this is deliberately symbolized by the way he performs the miracle.

Introducing Jesus

Gary DeLashmutt

John 1:1-51

Who is Jesus? This is an important question for non-Christians seeking an informed faith in Jesus or for Christians trying to supplement their own knowledge of Jesus' life. There are seven titles of Jesus that help summarize his role and set him apart from other religious founders. Jesus is the only truth and the only one who knows our problems and yet still loves us and focuses on our potential as disciples; he will reward those who seek him with sincerity.

Who Is Jesus Really?

Lee Campbell

John 1:1-18

The Bible describes the Word as: ancient, a person, the creator, God, and human. All of these descriptions also explain the nature of Jesus. Jesus, the creator of the universe himself, chose to descend to earth and became human in order to gather people together for the purpose of knowing God personally.

How Israel Almost Blew It

Scott Risley

Exodus 32:1-34:10

The Israelites learn the need for patience when waiting on God and the seriousness of sin. Moses exemplifies Christ as he steps in to mediate for Israel. As a result, we see the mercy of God and a true example of Godly leadership.

Understanding Ceremonial Law

Dennis McCallum

Hebrews 9:6-7

Old Testament ceremonial law functioned as a form of teaching to the Israelites and as a foreshadowing of the work that God would ultimately do through Jesus Christ. It was incredibly detailed to ensure accurate symbolism and to prevent manmade innovation on how to bridge the separation between God and man. We will examine how the tabernacle and ark of the covenant symbolized Christ's work on the cross to atone for all human sin.

Jesus' Early Ministry

Ryan Lowery

Luke 4:31-44

In Jesus' early ministry, he makes it clear that he is the savior and Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. He proves his claims of spiritual authority through miraculous signs. Ultimately, Jesus demonstrated that he came to save us from slavery to sin, and that he has the power to do so.
