Healing Leads to Grace or Rejection

John 4:43-5:17 John includes two encounters that Jesus had with people in need of healing and their contrasting responses are significant. Rod Bunton explores how Jesus’ healing miracles led to saving faith in one case and rejection in the other.

Worship in Spirit and Truth

John 4:23-26 While revealing his deity to the woman at the well, Jesus also emphasized that worship wasn’t about a place but about a person. Pastor Rod Bunton looks at two characteristics of worship taught by Jesus in this passage.

Worship the Father

John 4:20-24 Part of the teaching from Jesus to the Samaritan woman was about worshipping the true God. Pastor Rod Bunton explores a number of related passages in this introduction to becoming a true worshipper.

The Woman at the Well

John 4:1-42 In this well-known story, we learn about a Samaritan woman who arrives at a water well and meets Jesus. Pastor Rod Bunton explores the revelations and impacts in this passage where a city in Samaria learns about the Savior of the world.

Great Truths about Christ

John 3:31-36 Following John the Baptist’s declaration that “He must increase, but I must decrease,” today’s passage explains why. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches how Jesus is uniquely qualified beyond every earthly being and the key to eternal life for those who believe.

He Must Increase, But I Must Decrease

John 3:22-30 John the Baptist drew much attention in his work to draw people to the savior through water baptism, but Jesus’ ministry was starting to draw people, too. Pastor Rod Bunton shows how John’s humble attitude in recognizing that his time was coming to an end contrasted with his disciples.

He Gave His Only Begotten Son

John 3:16-21 God’s love for the entire world was manifested by giving over his Son to be a substitute, taking on the judgment that we deserve because of our sin. Pastor Rod Bunton concludes this passage by examining the divine act and the human response.

The Real Issue is that You Do Not Believe

John 3:9-15 After hearing that he must be born of the Spirit, Nicodemus expressed his confusion. Pastor Rod Bunton gets to the heart of the problem: the issue isn’t that you don’t understand, this issue is that you do not believe the one who has ascended into Heaven.

Born From Above

John 3:3-8 Jesus had just told Nicodemus that you must be born again to see the kingdom of God and it was a confusing statement to him, leading to a simple question. Pastor Rod Bunton walks through Jesus’ response that helps clarify what it means to be “born again.”

The New Birth

John 3:1-3 John Chapter 3 is a well-know passage containing the world’s most quoted verse which is one that gets to the heart of the salvation message. Pastor Rod Bunton introduces Nicodemus and the question that was burdening his heart: “What must I do to see Heaven?”

Jesus Knows the Heart of Man

John 2:23-25 Many people at the Passover Feast confessed belief in Jesus because of the signs that he performed. Pastor Rod Bunton explores this passage that explains that Jesus knew that their “miracle faith” was not true because it wasn’t the faith born of regeneration.

Cleansing the Temple

John 2:12-22 In this well-known passage, Jesus discovers vendors that supported the needs of the Passover had moved into the temple. Pastor Rod Bunton shows how Jesus’ actions were intended to cleanse the distractions from true worship that God deserved in His house.
