Believe or Don't Believe

Unity Is Not Uniformity

March 1, 2026 • 10 mins
There are many in Christendom that would teach that to follow the teachings of unity in the Bible, we must be the same. The same doctrine, the same liturgy. This is another view on that.

John 10:1-21 I am the Good Shepherd

February 22, 2026 • 13 mins
Jesus often taught by using a story or a situation from that current time, and would then give a spiritual meaning to the story. In another of the I AM statements, Jesus states He is the good shepherd. What did that mean to people of that day and what can we learn today?

January 1, 2026 • 15 mins
The woman caught in adultery is a story we all love because it speaks of the forgivness offered by Jesus. However, there are some issues with this story. Should it be included in our canon? In this episode we contrast the Pharisees and Jesus and take deeper look at this beloved story.

John 7:1-13, Familiarity Breeds Contempt

November 22, 2025 • 15 mins
In this passage of John, we gain a little insight in to Jesus's family as we see His brothers did not believe in Him. We can only speculate as to why. Often familiarity does breed contempt - or numbness. Which prompts the question, do we become so familiar with the story of redemption that it becomes meaningless to us?

John 6:60-70, Why Do You Follow Jesus?

November 9, 2025 • 11 mins
This is a great question we all must ask ourselves. In this passage, some of the disciples leave Jesus because of the difficulty of His teachings. Why do you follow Jesus, and what is the definition of following Jesus?

John 6:1-15, Give it Up

April 30, 2025 • 11 mins

John 5:16-47, Jesus on Trial

April 23, 2025 • 18 mins

John 4:1-27, Jesus the Outlier

April 2, 2025 • 33 mins
In the familar story of the woman at the well, we see Jesus cast aside social norms and customs to tell someone about the love of God. How do we let our preconcieved ideas and prejudices interfere with us sharing the gospel?
