Are You Thirsty? - John 4:1-42

Jeff · Working with the Word

"Water" - it's such a common element but so fitting to describe what Jesus offers. Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well vividly shows Jesus' purpose in coming to the world. The woman who came to Jacob's well for water left with her thirst quenched in a way she never expected - even as she left her empty water bucket behind.

A New Birth - John 3

Jeff · Working with the Word

Most people know, or perhaps can even quote, John 3:16 - but what is the context of the Golden Text of the Bible? Jesus' whole conversation with Nicodemus provides the backdrop for this verse and more fully unpacks its meaning. We also dive into what it means to be "born again" and how the Son of Man must be "lifted up" like the bronze serpent. This chapter is rich with teaching!

Jesus Makes Himself Known - John 2

Jeff · Working with the Word

At the same time, according to verse 24, Jesus did not open Himself entirely to be completely known - why? And how should we respond to all this?

Come and See - John 1:19-51

Jeff · Working with the Word

What drew Jesus' first disciples to follow Him? What impressed them? Piqued their curiosity? Shocked them? There was obviously something special about Jesus of Nazareth, from what John the Baptist said about Him ("the Lamb of God!") and the disciples' responses to Him. It all began with a simple invitation: "Come and see."

The Word Became Flesh - John 1:1-18

Jeff · Working with the Word

The Word. The true Light. The Life of humanity. The only Son. Full of grace and truth. This is how John introduces Jesus - in grand, sweeping terms highlighting Jesus' deity and absoluteness. In comparison with all other God's prophets and revelations, Jesus exceeds them all, including Moses. Never has there been One like Jesus, and never will there be One again. If we want to know the Father, we look to Jesus!
