Turning Water Into Wine

Introduction And Eyewitness

John's introduction was all about this word - 'witness.' Christianity is rooted in history, and backed by eyewitnesses. In John 1, the author skips the greetings and goes straight to the heart of the matter: he and others saw, heard, and observed the Messiah. "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us," he declared. In today's study, we'll consider the historical facts that support our faith. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did John refer to Jesus as 'the Word?' B) In what way is Jesus also 'the light' that came into the world? C) What are the implications of Christ's incarnation to you and I?

A Voice In The Wilderness

John the Baptist had one job. John came to prepare people to meet Jesus. Specifically, he would 'make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah had foretold. However, the people wouldn't listen. John would be a voice crying in the wilderness. He would be misunderstood, and eventually killed. And the same would happen to the Messiah. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why was John 'baptizing' people? What kind of baptism was this? B) Why did John say 'behold the Lamb' when he saw Jesus approach? C) What's the difference between 'appeasement' and 'atonement?' Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt is the President of New Geneva Theological Seminary.

Turning Water Into Wine

It wasn't just a miracle - it was a sign. In John 2, Jesus attended a wedding. And at this wedding He performed His first recorded miracle (turning water into wine). So, what was this miracle really about? As we'll see, it pointed forward to the cross - even if no one knew it at the time. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Jesus tell Mary that His 'hour had not come?' B) In what way(s) did this miracle point forward to Calvary? C) How is John 2 a bookend with John 19?

What It Means To Be Born Again

To Nicodemus, it seemed like crazy talk. But to Jesus, this was serious business. If God's people are to be saved, we must first be 'born again.' So what does that term mean? And how does it happen? In today's study, we'll dive into the critical topic of regeneration. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Who was Nicodemus, and why did he go to Jesus? B) Why did Jesus say Nicodemus must be 'born again?' C) What are the implications for the rest of us? Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt is the President of New Geneva Theological Seminary.

The Woman At The Well

Surprising. Shocking. Scandalous. Jews and Samaritans were NOT supposed to interact. Their mutual hatred went back generations. And yet, here Jesus was, not only talking with this woman in John 4 - but asking her for water. What was this encounter all about? Questions That We'll Answer: A) What was the history of the Samaritans? Who were they? B) What had the woman done to be ostracized by her own people? C) What did Jesus tell the woman - and why was it so encouraging? Speaker: Dr. Toby Holt is the President of New Geneva Theological Seminary.
