Sanctification: Set in opposition to the unclean John 17:17

John — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 21:15:37 +0000

When we left off two weeks ago in John 17, we were talking about the unity that Jesus was praying for His disciples. The unity that we are to have and seek is the same as the Unity of God. That is, while there are three distinct and unique personalities, God is united in attributes, [...]

Project Ezra- Good Friday

I live, work, and minister in a small town called Marshall, MN. There is a small, close quartered downtown area where there are many businesses very close together with the courthouse, jail, various bars, and 6 of the area churches all are nestled together. Very rarely is there large crowds in our [...]

A promise of peace John 16:25-33

The last day of Jesus continues while he and His disciples are making their way toward the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus speaks while they are walking, instructing His disciples about their relationship with Him, with one another, and with the world. He gives them assurances; assurances about their connection to Him, and to one another, [...]

The Role of the Holy Spirit John 16:7-15

[7] Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

But Jesus is not leaving us. He is leaving us with another like Himself, the [...]

The Truth

John — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:19:25 +0000

So many people today seem to be looking for the truth. They are looking for it in the halls of education, from the government, from the media, from religion.

Many people really do not want to hear the truth, because the truth hurts, and it may or not fit what you choose to believe. The truth [...]

Does the world hate you?

John — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 13:15:49 +0000

In these last weeks, we examined the scripture in John 15 and discovered insight into the relationship between a Christian and their Lord (The Vine) and Christians and one another. Both relationships determine our relationship to the world, and how we function in the world with those who do not believe on Christ. Indeed, when [...]

I am the Vine

We have come to the end of John 14. Jesus and his disciples have left the upper room, and are heading down to Gethsemane. Along the way, it was very likely that they were walking through some vineyards, with Jesus speaking to them as they were walking down and through these vineyards, sharing with them [...]

The Comfort of Christ

John — Sun, 23 May 2010 21:14:18 +0000

As we left our passage in John 14 last week, we were studying the fact that Jesus Christ was going away, but in comforting His disciples, He promised them the Holy Spirit, as well as His own power manifested through them in a special way by the power of the Holy Spirit. [...]

Open letter to a friend who has a homosexual loved one:

John — Fri, 21 May 2010 14:03:33 +0000

My dear friend,

You have asked me to exegete Romans 1:18-32 for you to examine whether or not God through Paul is addressing homosexuality specifically or sin generally. Here is my take:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth

We are [...]
