This week, Stacey and I discusssed John 4:46-54 Jesus's journey back to Cana where His first miracle took place turning water into wine. Here in the very same city, Jesus performs a second miracle that defies the boundaries of proximity in a city 20 miles away. Jesus challenges the royal official along with the others present, to have faith in God's Word even when you cannot see the immeadiate results of your prayers.

This week, we explored the fascinating and scandalous encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, as recorded in John 4:1-26. In this session, we uncovered the incredible layers of this story: Cultural Boundaries Broken: Discover how Jesus crosses cultural, social, and religious boundaries by engaging with a Samaritan woman, a radical move that shocked many. Living Water: Dive into the profound symbolism of the “living water” of the Holy Spirit that Jesus offers, and what it means for our spiritual thirst. Revealing the Messiah: Witness the moment when Jesus reveals His true identity and calls out the true identity of the Samaritan woman, leading to a transformative conversation that changes her life. From Shame to Salvation: Learn how the Samaritan woman moves from a place of shame and isolation to becoming a powerful witness for Jesus in her community.

BRINGING IT TO LIFE: Let's follow the lead of Jesus and break through cultural barriers in the lives of those around us. Have conversations with people you normally find yourself avoiding for whatever reason. Pray and ask God who He wants you to engage with and ask Him what specifically He wants you to say. Maybe it’s like this woman at the well seeking answers to questions she doesn’t understand. Maybe it’s just a moment to share an experience of God with someone to bring them hope in a situation.

Regardless of who it is, get uncomfortable, go have tough conversations, and watch what God does through those encounters.

Episode 8 in our comprehensive Bible study on the Book of John! In this session, we’re diving into John 3:22-36, where we explore the overlap of Jesus and John the Baptist’s ministries, the humility of John, and the supremacy of Jesus. One of the big takeaways from this week’s study is the lesson of humility in ministry. John the Baptist shows us the importance of pointing others to Jesus and finding joy in His work. We also reflect on the necessity of believing in Jesus for eternal life and the consequences of turning away from Him. LOOKING FORWARD: Next week we are going to discuss Jesus' journey back to Cana, but first he stops in Samaria on the way and has a very important conversation with a woman at Jacob's well.

Today we discussed one of the most important chapters in the Bible, John 3:1-16 when Jesus has an important conversation with Nicodemus, a religious ruler, regarding salvation and being born again spiritually. Stacey and I talked through the significance of seeing and entering the Kingdom of God by being born physically (by water) and then reborn (spiritually) by the Spirit of God.

Jesus's teaching gives us a very important correlation between physical and spiritual birth and growth, and gives us access to the gospel of God's Kingdom. Check it out! LOOKING FORWARD: Next week, we will wrap up Jesus's conversation with Nicodemus and uncover another attempted scandal by the Jews between Jesus and Johnny B! You won't want to miss it.

Today we jumped into a discussion of John 2:13-25 when Jesus goes to Passover in Jerusalem for the first time in the role of the Messiah. He first creates a scourge made from cords and flips over the money changers tables while running out the animals that were being sold for the festival sacrifices. We discussed why Jesus did this and what was the significance of this event foreshadowing. Jesus was not just protecting the Jewish people from being robbed by the money changers, He was also moving people away from the ritualistic OT religion of worship and animal sacrifice to a NT spiritual relationship that no longer required a central location for God's presence to reside. This was foreshadowed by Jesus's statement about His resurrection. LOOKING FORWARD: Next week, we will dive into one of the most important conversations Jesus has regarding salvation, and the kingdom of God with Nicodemus (a Jewish rabbi), you won't want to miss it!

Consider an area of your life that is keeping you from authentically approaching and experiencing God the way He desires. What tables would Jesus turn over in your life that are robbing you of time with Him. What things would Jesus run out of your life that are hindering you from worshiping God in spirit and truth?

What a great discussion of John 2:1-12. Today we recapped the discipleship model of Jesus with "Come and See" and "Follow Me". Then we talked about this important shift in Jesus' ministry being used by the Holy Spirit to reveal the Kingdom of Heaven. Turning water into wine was the first of only 2 miracles that the Holy Spirit does through Jesus' humanity in the first year of His ministry. This one act shows the co-laboring relationship of faith between us and God. He doesn't just do miracles in our lives, He invites us to take steps of faith to experience the kingdom of Heaven. He won't do our part, and we can't do His. Another major point was Jesus' trip to Capernaum with His family. I believe this trip sets up His transitional move with His family from Nazareth to Capernaum after the death of John the Baptist. (We'll dig more into this later!)

LOOKING FORWARD: Next week we will explore Jesus' first Passover celebration as the Messiah. Flipping tables, running out the money changers, and proclaiming the purpose of His Father's house, you won't want to miss it! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ BRINGING IT TO LIFE: This week's Life Application is: Consider an area of your life that needs transformed. What do you sense Jesus is inviting you to do in relation to the subject that requires your faith? Remember to filter any instruction through these questions as you learn to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit. 1) Does it violate God's character/nature as revealed in Scripture? (Yes? Not from God) 2) Does it produce the fruit of the Spirit? Galatians 5 (No? Not from God) 3) Do you see evidences of truth in your daily experience? In other words, do you see signs of alignment in the instruction within your life? (No? May not be the right time, or possibly not from God.) 4) Do you have confirmation of the direction in your faith community? Do other mature followers of Jesus affirm the direction? (No? May not be God.) Take into consideration wise counsel. GETTING STRONGER: Weekly Challenge (Make sure you keep a journal!) Journal any experiences you have this week of the Holy Spirit bringing breakthrough in your life. Describe your part and what He did as a result. Also, it would be awesome for you to hare this testimony in the comments of this video!

Wow! What a great time together in John 1:35-46. Today we explored the discipleship model of Jesus. Many churches teach the message and methods of Jesus, but neglect to teach the model of Jesus. This week we uncover how Jesus began His ministry strategically following the leading of the Holy Spirit and inviting 5 guys who are seeking to "Come and See". This is the first step in making disciples. Inviting people who are seeking answers into a friendship where you can explore them together. Step 2 the Jesus shows us is with the invitation to, "Follow Me". This is extremely important to understand in the context of discipleship, and it begins with building relationships with each other and doing life together seeking the kingdom of God in the context of community. You won't want to miss this video. Lots of good stuff to unpack. Remember ask questions, interact, and seek first the kingdom of God.

We will also discuss Jesus's journey back to the region of Galilee where He performs 1 of only 2 miracles in His first year of ministry, so you won't want to miss it! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ BRINGING IT TO LIFE: This week's Life Application is: Pray and ask God, who He has placed in your immediate relationships that are seeking answers to questions about their faith.

Episode 3 Stacey and I dig into John 1:19-34 discussing the identity of John the Baptist, his testimony about Jesus, and his confirmation of Jesus as the Messiah. These foundational truths answer the question as to why John was baptizing to begin with, and setting the stage for Jesus being the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!
