- Episode 119: When Tragedy Becomes Victory
This week on Further, Brenton Grimm is joined by regular guest Nathan Williams along with first-time guest Coleman Reed and Kyle Knoll, who recently preached at Harmony Bible Church’s Fort Madison and Burlington campuses. The group dives into John 12, exploring themes like the hardness of heart, God’s glory, and the meaning of Jesus drawing “all people” to Himself. They discuss the tension between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility, using examples from Isaiah, Pharaoh, and personal ministry experiences to show how unbelief and rejection of Christ play out. Practical takeaways include how believers can guard against living for their own glory, respond when others resist the gospel, and keep the cross central in daily life. The conversation wraps with encouragement to persevere in faith and evangelism, trusting God to soften hearts in His timing.

This week on Further, Brenton and Chris dive into the Old Testament’s role in pointing to Jesus, discussing how its prophecies—roughly 60 major ones—connect directly to His life and ministry. Chris addresses common objections from skeptics, showing why Jesus couldn’t have merely staged His fulfillment of prophecy. They also push back on modern tendencies to “unhitch” from the Old Testament, stressing how it’s foundational for understanding the gospel, the cross, and God’s plan for redemption. The conversation then shifts to how Christians today can confuse cultural and spiritual identity, with a reminder to keep kingdom priorities first. They wrap up by warning against growing numb to the gospel and explaining why some verses in John were skipped in this week’s teaching.

In this episode, Brenton and Chris discuss John 12 and the tension between worshiping Jesus for who He is versus what He can give us. They examine Judas’s self-serving motives and contrast them with Mary’s extravagant act of worship, raising the question: is Jesus our end or merely a means to one? The conversation also explores how a God-centered theology helps us endure persecution and avoid a transactional faith. Chris reflects on the danger of serving to be loved rather than out of the security of already being loved. Together, they consider what it means to offer worship that truly reflects the worth of Christ.

In this episode of Further, Brenton sits down with Clay to talk through his recent sermon on anger from John 11. Clay shares how his own personal struggles with anger helped shape his message and how Jesus’ response to grief and brokenness reveals a purposeful, righteous anger. They discuss the difference between stuffing or venting anger and what it means to bring our emotions to Jesus with honesty and self-control. The conversation also highlights how pride, shame, and isolation can fuel our anger—but how the gospel offers a better way. Through passages like Ephesians 4 and Romans 8:1, they point listeners to the hope and freedom found in Christ.
