God's Word with Pastor Tom Smith

John 12:20-36 provides instructions for disciples of Jesus, shows that the cross glorified God, and invites us into God’s kingdom through a different kind of victory.

The Triumphal Entry from John 12:12-19 gives us a warning about trying to have Jesus the way we want him and not following the true Jesus.

John 12:1-11 provides a beautiful example of devotion to Jesus and giving him our very best because he is worthy.

It's easy to overlook the final greetings in letters. But when we dive into why Paul listed the people he did, and why he gave his final instructions, we see this final greeting has a lot to offer.

John 11 provides a narrative for why Jesus had to die, and it turns out the reasons are different based on whose perspective you’re looking through. This challenging Scripture causes us to look inward to ask how we understand and respond to Jesus’ death.

Colossians 4:2-6 provides a missional call and challenges us in our evangelical efforts.

Colossians 3:18 - 4:1 represents Paul's instructions for households. In these instructions, Paul gives specific instructions that are to serve as a picture of how a home that is under and has been redeemed by Christ should function.

We've all had plans that failed, and we've all felt the pain of the death of a loved one. In today's message, we look at how we should respond to failed plans, how Jesus has the power of death, and why Jesus is our hope that we must hang onto. Today's message is from John 11.

Resurrection Sunday. We look at the tomb of Jesus to see the real meaning of Easter.

People often wonder why Good Friday is good. In this message, we dive into what really makes it so good.

Colossians 3:5-17. Because our old selves have been put to death with Christ and raised to new life in him, Paul instructs us to put off our old sinful ways and put on attributes that are befitting Christ.

The Triumphal Entry was a statement from Jesus about his Messiahship, kingship, and upcoming victory. And the Good News is Jesus shared that victory with those who believe in him.

Colossians 2:16-3:4. Paul begins his instructional section by denouncing the false teachings threatening the Colossians and encouraging them to change the way they think and act because of what Christ has done for them.

With Easter only two weeks away, we look at 1 John 5:11-21 to be reminded of what Jesus did for us over Easter weekend to prepare our hearts and minds to praise and worship him more.

Colossians 2:6-21 provides a look at the walk in Christ that we are commanded to have and provides deep theological promises as to the transformation that takes place in Christ. Recorded live.

John 10:22-41 shows how the Jews missed seeing Jesus for who he really was because of their presumptions about the Messiah. People today can be just as guilty. Presumptions are dangerous because they can cause us to miss who Jesus is.

This live recording of our Colossians class covers Colossians 1:21 - 2:5 as we dig deep into some theological heavy hitters that Paul presents.

John 10:1-21 provides two more identity statements from Jesus as he continues to reveal who he is. And who he is, is the Good Shepherd we need.

In our third lesson, we look at 1:9-1:20. We hear Paul's prayer for the Colossians and the lofty Christ Hymn of verses 1:15-20. This is a live recording of the class.

John 9 is the story of a blind man healed by Jesus. But his physical healing is indicative of what Jesus does spiritually. Like this man, we all have a story to tell. And like the man, our story is really a story about God.

In our second lesson, we look at 1:1-1:8 and see how Paul outlines the rest of the letter and dive deep into each verse to see what God is saying. This is a live recording of the class.

John 8:12-59 is a dialogue between Jesus and the Pharisees in which Jesus tries to convince them, and us, to believe in him as the Son of God for salvation.

As we begin our study of Colossians, week 1 will look at the background and context of the letter so that we can rightfully interpret the author's intended meaning. This is the live recording of our in[-person class. It is recommended that you watch The Bible Project's overview video of Colossians at https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/colossians/?utm_source=web_social_share&medium=shared_v...

John 8:12 provides a life changing statement from Jesus that brings newness of life.

Jesus perfectly brings truth and grace and demonstrates how this balance has the power to save and overcome sin. John 7:53-8:11.
