Jesus makes an incredible declaration about himself on the final day of the Feast of Tabernacles, promising the gift of the Holy Spirit to everyone who believes in Jesus. The divided response of the crowd helps us to see the need for each of us to make a decision about who Jesus is, and to count the cost of following him.

The narrative of John's gospel skips ahead 6 months, to Jesus entering Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. The attitudes toward Jesus and his ministry have escalated in Jerusalem, with some in the crowd believing in him, others skeptical, and the Jewish religious leaders determined now to put him to death. Join Pastor Kyle as he unpacks the first half of Jesus' public ministry in Jerusalem during the Feast of Tabernacles.

Jesus offers some hard words that make many of his followers turn away. Listen in as Pastor Kyle unpacks the meaning of Jesus' words, as well as some thoughts regarding how to think about things that look like ministry failure.

Jesus continues his "Bread of Life" speech with some hard words regarding God's sovereignty in the saving of sinners, and man's inability to come to Jesus in faith apart from the Father's drawing. Listen as Pastor Kyle challenges us to reorient ourselves around the truth of Scripture, and offers a way through the fog of debate regarding this issue.

Kyle takes a one-week hiatus from the Gospel of John to take a look at the heart of discipleship. What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? What are some steps we can take to encounter Jesus in a life-changing journey? In this message, Pastor Kyle looks at the example of Simon Peter when he first decides to leave everything behind and follow Jesus.

Guest preacher Charlie Mitchell displays the beauty of Jesus Christ as the bread of life, the true gift of God to his people. (Charlie is lead pastor/planter of Epiphany Church of Baltimore.)

In one of the most famous and well-loved passages in the gospels, Jesus feeds a multitude of thousands with just a few pieces of bread and fish. But what is the real purpose of this miracle? What do we see of the glory of Jesus Christ through this amazing act? Join Kyle as he highlights the powerful hand and generous heart of the Savior.

Accused of blasphemy by the Jewish religious leaders, Jesus continues his self-defense by calling witnesses to his divine identity. But the very witnesses that confirm his identity as the Son of God also charge his accusers with missing the heart of the Scriptures and failing to know God! Listen to this powerful indictment of faith in God that stops short of bowing at the feet of Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

Jesus begins a lengthy self-defense against the charges of the Pharisees that he has committed blasphemy by "making himself equal with God." But rather than backpedal and insist they've misunderstood him, Jesus drives the stake of his divine identity even further into the ground. Listen in as Pastor Kyle expounds the depth and breadth of Jesus' claims about himself, and how it makes a difference for us today.

Jesus heals a paralyzed man on the Sabbath, inviting controversy from the religious leaders. Join Pastor Kyle as he demonstrates the compassion, power, and mercy of Jesus in this compelling story of hope and redemption.
