Send us a text The penultimate sign or miracle Jesus performs before the ultimate sign of His own resurrection is His raising of Lazarus from the dead, described in John chapter 11. This great miracle foreshadows Jesus' own resurrection which was soon to take place. It also foretells the great, miraculous future bodily resurrection that all believers look forward to in faith and in hope. Pastor Andrew Gretzinger of Good Shepard Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Valparaiso, Indiana joins us t...
Send us a text "I am the good shepherd." "I am the door of the sheep." What did this mean to Jesus' listeners when he spoke these words, recorded in the tenth chapter of John's gospel? Is Jesus speaking only of Himself, or about pastors too? If Jesus is the good shepherd, what does that mean for us as His sheep? Join Pastor Andrew Gretzinger of Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church in Valparaiso, Indiana as we study and learn from this wonderful text together. Music: My Shepherd Will Supp...
Send us a text The healing of the man born blind is one of the most fascinating chapters in all of Scripture. This man--whose name we are never told--receives his sight from Jesus in an unparalleled miracle. Then, after being dragged twice in front of the religious leaders -- most of whom are themselves spiritually blind-- this man quickly sees through their hardness and unbelief, forcing them to resort to personal insults. But Jesus is not content to leave the man with merely physical...
Send us a text In this chapter of John's gospel, Jesus turns the tables on the Pharisees and scribes who try to trap him by bringing him a woman caught in adultery. He makes another of His great "I AM" statements when he says, "I am the light of the world." This leads to a debate with the Pharisees, and as a result, "many came to believe in Him: (v. 30). Next, Jesus continues to challenge the Jews who had believed in him, leading to another debate that culminates in Jesus specifi...
Send us a text Here in chapter seven of John's gospel, Jesus stands up on the great day of the Feast and cries out: "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'" Later, in the book of Revelation, John echoes this Gospel invitation: "Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost." (Rev. 22:17) How thirsty are we? And where are w...
Send us a text The bread of life discourse takes a new turn in John chapter 6 verses 51-59, a passage that has given rise to much controversy. Are we to take Jesus literally when he tells His followers they must eat His flesh and drink His blood? If not, what is the Biblical warrant for not taking it literally and what are we to make of this? Join us for a spirited discussion with special guest Pastor Andrew Gretzinger of Good Shepard church in Valparaiso, Indiana, who helps us open thi...
Send us a text Chapter six begins with the fourth sign recorded by John in his gospel -- Jesus feeding of the five thousand, and continues with the fifth sign, Jesus walking on the water on the Sea of Galilee. Then, Jesus Himself explains the meaning of the feeding of the five thousand in the bread of life discourse, which forms the core of this chapter. There is incredibly rich and important teaching here. Jesus lifts our sights upward, away from the materialistic pursuit of physical bread, ...

Send us a text In John chapter four, Jesus starts a revival by talking to a single Samaritan woman, despite the fact that at this time the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans. What was going on here? Join us as we see Jesus open the eyes of the Samaritan woman to see who He is and how God wants His people to worship Him.

Send us a text "You must be born again" -- this is Jesus' clear and sobering teaching to Nicodemus in the gospel according to John chapter 3. What does this mean? How can we know we have been born or birthed from above? We learn here that the new birth is: (1) essential; (2) profoundly radical; and (3) supernatural. Join us as for this incredibly important episode as we examine the teachings of Jesus and the testimony of John the Baptizer about Jesus. The Romans Road to salvation in Jes...
Send us a text Many people think they know who Jesus is -- but have never read the inspired record. John gives us two unconventional snapshots of Jesus in chapter two of his gospel.

Send us a text Following John's massive prologue, he begins gathering and presenting his evidence through the testimony of those who knew Jesus: "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" "We have found the Messiah!" John goes on to provide even more direct testimony -- including from the Holy Spirit Himself -- that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah long predicted by Moses and the prophets. John the Baptist is center stage, heralding the coming of t...
