We started studying the upper room back at the beginning of Chapter 13. Today we reach the conclusion 5 chapters later. We have seen Jesus heart and care in trying to prepare the disciples for His departure. He washed their feet (13:5), warned them about a bet...

As we have studied the gospel of John we have seen the seven “I Am” statements of Jesus. I am the bread of life (6:35), the light of the world (8:12), the door (10:9), the good shepherd (10:11), the resurrection and the life (11:25), the way, and the truth, an...

The events leading up to the death of Jesus reveal so much about human nature and the depth of what Jesus was willing to do. We saw last week the world came against Jesus in all its power and might but the great I AM was in control as He has been since eternit...

Annas questioning Jesus was the first of His six trials. In the face of the scrutiny Jesus remained faithful, while Peter was outside denying Christ. Jesus was showing the depth of His perfect obedience and Peter was showing how weak we are as humans. What hap...

Jesus has stood trial before Annas, Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, and Pilate. Pilate does not want to get involved, so when he finds out Jesus is from Galilee he sent Jesus over to be tried by Herod. Jesus does not answer Herod’s questions, so he is sent back to Pi...

Throughout the gospel of John Jesus has been presented as the Word who became flesh, the Lamb of God who came to take away the sins of the world. He has shown His power, deity, and care through miracles. He has revealed His character and identity through the...

God’s timing is always amazing. We have been in a study of the gospel of John and have come to the pinnacle moment on the cross right at Christmas. This is a passage we traditionally think about at Good Friday and Easter and yet it has so much impact to consid...

Since John 12 we have been studying the last week of Jesus life. John puts a tremendous focus on these final actions and teachings of Jesus. Last week we saw the death of Jesus. He was the perfect sacrifice who declared in victory “It is finished.” Sins’ payme...

This morning, we have come to an amazing passage of scripture. Last week we finished John 19 with Jesus’ body being taken off the cross. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus made arrangements and tended to the physical body of Jesus. They wrapped Him up with line...

It is hard to imagine the flood of emotions that the Peter, John, and Mary Magdalene experienced on the Sunday of the resurrection. The Sabbath had put a pause on events, now fear had set in not knowing if the Jewish leaders would pursue Jesus’ followers or no...

Jesus is resurrected and after appearing to Mary Magdalene at the beginning of the day now reveals Himself to His disciples at the end of the day. Last week we focused on the events Jesus accomplished once He left the cross. From giving a proclamation in Sheol...

Thomas was missing when Jesus revealed Himself to the 10 disciples. He missed the chance to see the risen savior, yet Jesus was so gracious to Him. Thomas is not chastised or belittled, but is encouraged to believe. Jesus wants to help Thomas trust Him. John ...

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 ESV (23)  For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread,(24)  and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, “This is My body, which is for you. Do th...

As I began to study Leviticus, I quickly realized something, I had never heard Leviticus taught in church. I had read it in my own study and heard it referenced at different times but never studied. Yet the Word is clear on the value of the whole Word of God. ...

As God calls out to Moses from the tabernacle, He starts by instructing Moses on the 3 most common types of offerings, the whole burnt offering (Ch. 1), the grain offering (Ch.2), and the peace offering (Ch. 3). These three are linked because they have a pleas...

Last week we studied the whole burnt offering. It was the most common offering and the first of three offerings that are a pleasing aroma to God. I will remind you the offerings are presented and grouped by themes, not in order of how they were given. The whol...

Leviticus started by describing the offerings that were a pleasing aroma to God, the whole burnt offering, the grain offering, and the peace offering. Each of these offerings were an act of worship and setting something apart as holy to God. From offering the ...

Each offering has similarities and differences. Each one has pointed to Jesus’ perfect fulfillment in some way and each one has had application for us. Last week we saw the sin offering and it focused on the presentation of the blood. Our sin is deeper than we...

17 So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, becaus...
