The Things Jesus Said

Do you ever find yourself wondering how your spiritual leaders gained their knowledge of the Bible? They likely obtained it from commentaries, books, or other sermons. I understand the curiosity and questions that come with trying to comprehend the meaning and intentions of certain verses. However, it’s important to remember that much of it is based on personal interpretation. Jesus faced a similar issue in his time, and he used the Sermon on the Mount to address and correct these errors. He began by saying, “You have heard it said,” which was equivalent to saying, “You have read this in so-and-so’s commentary” today. This podcast aims to explore Jesus’s teachings, stories, and words to gain a deeper understanding of his message.

  Can you actually Lose Your Salvation?

  Aug 30, 20267 min

  From John 10:22-42-Have you ever wondered if you could lose it; not your keys, but your salvation? Jesus gets asked a version of that question in today's passage, and for once, he answers it as plainly as he ever does. Cornered at the Festival of Dedication by a crowd demanding a straight answer, Jesus gives them one: his sheep hear his voice, he gives them eternal life, and no one will snatch them out of his hand. Then he closes the loop with a sentence that gets him nearly stoned; 'I and the Father are one.'

  The Good Shepherd John 10:1-21

  Aug 22, 20266 min

  They just threw a man out of the synagogue for telling the truth. Jesus doesn't let that sit for a single verse. Picking up in the exact same conversation as last episode, Jesus turns to the same religious leaders who just cast a man out of his own community - and tells them exactly what kind of shepherd he is. Thieves climb walls. Hired hands run when it gets hard. But the Good Shepherd goes looking for the sheep that got left outside, and lays his life down for the ones who can't do a thing to earn it. In this episode we walk through John 10:1-21 and look at: • Why the sheepfold and the gate weren't just farming details - they were survival • What Jesus meant by 'I am the gate' and why it matters who you go through • The difference between a hired hand and a shepherd who actually knows your name Why this whole parable is Jesus explaining what he'd already done for the man in chapter 9 This is Episode 26 of The Gospel According to John, a walk through the fourth gospel one passage at a time.

  One Thing I Know | John 9:24-41

  Aug 16, 20266 min

  They threw him out of the synagogue for telling the truth. So Jesus went and found him. In this episode we finish the story of the man born blind — his second interrogation before the Pharisees, the moment he gets thrown out of his own community, and the quiet, powerful scene where Jesus seeks him out personally. Along the way: what it means to witness without having all the answers, why rejection by people isn't rejection by God, and what Jesus really means when he says "now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains." In this episode: The Pharisees interrogate the healed man a second time His unforgettable answer: "One thing I know: I was blind, but now I see" Why they threw him out — and what Jesus did next What sight and blindness actually mean in this passage

  I Am The LIght of the World

  Jul 25, 20267 min

  During the Feast of Tabernacles, giant lampstands in the temple courts lit up the whole city of Jerusalem — a nightly reminder of the pillar of fire that once led Israel through the wilderness. Standing right where those lamps burned, Jesus makes one of the most direct claims in his entire ministry. In this episode we walk through John 8:12–30, where Jesus declares "I am the light of the world," gets challenged on his right to say it, and answers with language that reaches all the way back to the burning bush.

  Who Condemns You?

  Jul 11, 20267 min

  Jesus is teaching in the temple courts when the religious leaders drag a woman before him, caught in adultery, and try to trap him with an impossible choice. What he does next — writing silently in the dust — empties the courtyard and changes everything. In this episode, we walk through John 7:53–8:11, one of the most well-known and misunderstood scenes in the Gospels. It's not just a story about mercy — it's a legal trap Jesus refuses to fall into, and a verdict that holds both grace and truth at once. This is Episode 20 in our verse-by-verse series through the Gospel of John. New episode every week — next up, Jesus makes one of the boldest claims in the whole gospel: 'I am the light of the world.' Where do you see yourself in this story — holding a stone, or standing accused? #GospelOfJohn #BibleStudy #JesusAndTheWoman #JohnChapter8 #NeitherDoICondemnYou #ChristianYouTube #BibleTeaching
