Feasting on Truth

In John 8, Jesus makes His second “I AM” statement: I am the Light of the World. He says these words on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, and once again, uses an imperfect, insufficient earthly example of how He fulfills for eternity. But we also see His kindness and tenderness toward a woman caught in her sin. It’s a beautiful picture of how He responds to us as well. And then again, we s...

In John 7, all of Jewish people have converged in Jerusalem for the fall feast: the Feast of Tabernacles. This jubilant celebration was one of the most joyous times in Jewish year. And it is here, in the midst of this elation, that Jesus stands up for all to hear and makes a bold claim. It’s one we heard Him make in a private conversation at a well in Samaria; now He proclaims it for all to hear:...

John Chapter 6 is a long one! Honestly, this chapter could be a study on its own. But these 71 verses give us such a picture of Jesus as our sustaining life-giver. I love how John juxtaposes these three stories together: the Feeding of the 5,000, Jesus walking on water, and His teaching in Galilee that He is the Bread of Life. It gives us this beautiful picture of how Jesus is the more and better...

John 5 marks the start of a new section of stories, but John continues to point us to Jesus as Messiah. In this passage, we see Jesus talking about the Sabbath, but even more so: how He and the Father are one. It can be confusing and hard to understand, but the heart of Jesus’ words again point us to this: Jesus is True. Jesus is God. And He came bring to life. For more information on this Bible s...

In John Chapter 4, we read about Jesus' conversation with a Samaritan woman, a woman who had no hope of fitting in or belonging, a woman who was desperate, a woman looking for earthly satisfaction. Yet Jesus, putting aside cultural rules, met her and made the greatest statement about Himself. We also see the power and truth of His Word in a miracle, the saving of a young boy's life. One conversati...

John Chapter 3 contains the world's most famous Bible verse, but studying John 3:16 in context provides a deeper insight. This story is the gospel, yes, but it's a powerful picture of what Jesus' coming meant. The visual Jesus gives of Moses lifting the serpent in the wilderness, the comparison of darkness and light, and John the Baptist's well-known words of Jesus all point us to the truth of Who...

In John Chapter 2, we see two familiar stories: Jesus' first "sign" at the wedding in Cana and Him clearing the Temple in Jerusalem at Passover. In each, He displays His power differently, but the result leads to belief.  For more information on the Feasting on Truth Bible study, go to FeastingOnTruth.com/biblestudy .

John Chapter 1 is packed with truths about who Jesus is. Remember, John is writing with the intent on showcasing the deity of Jesus and we see him doing that right out of the gate. There are three main sections to this passage this week, but each one has the same purpose: declaring Jesus as God.  Here are links mentioned in today's episode: Bible Project Videos on John: VIDEO 1: https://www.y...

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Feasting on Truth Podcast and the first teaching from our Bible study on the Gospel of John. Before beginning any Bible study, it's important to understand the context. We have to remember that while the Bible is written for us, we were not the original audience. Asking some simple, easy questions helps us set the lens through which we will study this particular book. Y...
