In this morning broadcast, Captain Jon Gainey will present a case for a better biblical, theological understanding of John Nelson Darby's often accepted, but mistaken, explanation of Jesus' eschatological teaching in Matthew 24:40-41. Darby's teaching, in the 1800s, has spread throughout some denominations in the form of what is called Dispensational Premillennialism, an eschatological theology that includes the concept of a premillennial rapture.

Captain Gainey will be referring to his own book entitled, "Swim: Into the Jewish Depths of the Christian Bible," as a resource for the presentation, which will include multiple Scripture passages.

In this episode, the ETW panel will be discussing Jesus' teaching of what it means for him to be the "good shepherd" in contrast to the "hired hand." Why would a shepherd be willing to die for the sheep? Wouldn't the death of the shepherd make the sheep vulnerable to death too? Join us tonight.

In this episode of ETW, the panel will continue the discussion of Jesus' parable in John 10:1-10. In Part 2, we will talk about how Jesus changes the metaphor from a gatekeeper and a shepherd, being two different characters, to the gatekeeper and the shepherd being the same person.

In this episode of ETW, Dr. Lois Tverberg, Steve Poarch, Mark Gilliam, John Birks, and Jon Gainey discuss Jesus' parable of the The Good Shepherd and His Sheep. Looking at only the first 10 verses, we will Jesus' references to the gate and shepherd of the sheep pen and the sheep, and why this would have upset some of his listeners.

In this episode of ETW, the panel will discuss the difference between the spiritual blindness of those who are looking for the One God sent to reveal himself to the world and those who are are unable to recognize him.

In this episode, the ETW panel discusses the continuation of the the Pharisees interrogation of the man Jesus healed from congenital blindness, which is a result of their own spiritual blindness.

In this episode the ETW panel will discuss the investigation of Jesus' healing of the man born blind by the synagogue authorities. In this passage of Scripture from John 9:13-23, we will see that the legalistic teachers of the oral laws have the authority to turn a miracle of great compassion into an opportunity to punish the blessed.

What is it that gives life meaning? Pleasure? Leisure? Or is it something much more challenging and difficult that somehow makes life worth living?

In this episode of ETW, the panel (Claudia Newman, Ronnie Gainey, and Jon Gainey) will discuss Jesus' method of healing a man born blind, and the subsequent requirement for the man to go to the "Pool of Siloam."

In this episode of ETW, the panel will discuss the last 12 verses of John 8 in which Jesus' audience accuses Jesus of being their enemy--calling him demon-possessed.
