In this episode we explore Psalm 2, where we talk about the rebellion of man in general and goernment rulers in particular; the rulership of Jesus Christ despite the world's desire to the contrary; and we talk about how rulers in government can be ones who submit to the lordship of Christ through the gospel.

In this episode, we explore the threefold question from our Lord to the apostle Peter: "Do you love me?" We'll talk about what is being accomplished in asking these questions, where Peter's heart was in all of this, and what this says about how God shows grace to His followers, even when they have previously messed up.

In the last chapter of the Gospel of John, we see an apostle Peter who may be struggling with doubt in his effectiveness for the Lord and who thus decides to go back to his prior career of fishing. But the Lord has other plans for him. In this episode we begin to talk about how Jesus deals with him to bring him back to the proper path.

Many skeptics through the years who have doubted the reliability of the Bible have aimed their criticisms at the resurrection narratives in the four New Testament Gospels, saying that they are filled with too many contradictions and inconsistencies. But is this charge valid? In this episode, I take the time to harmonize the resurrection narrative in the four Gospel accounts and explain how the things that critics call contradictions aren't contradictions at all.

In this episode, we talk about the purpose of John's Gospel, which John himself lays out in John 20:30-31, and how this stated purpose is connected to what we have just seen regarding Jesus' appearance to Thomas.

The apostle Thomas is mostly known for his doubt/unbelief in Jesus' resurrection. But while John 20 catalogs Thomas' initial refusal to believe, what do we learn about Christ in His specific appearance and confrontation to Thomas? We will discuss that and more on this episode.

In this episode we examine Jesus' resurrection day appearance to His disciples in John 20, doing comparison work with Luke 24, and learn the significance of His resurrection in light of what He would commission His disciples to do.

In our continued look at John 20 and the resurrection of Christ, we consider the empty tomb from the perspective of Mary Magdalene, and talk about her encounter with the angels, Jesus Himself, and the significance of it all.

In this episode we begin to look at John 20 and talk about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the empty tomb. Though the empty tomb is a major evidence of the resurrection of Christ, John uniquely provides an additional piece of evidence that drives this truth home even more. Listen to learn what that is.

In this episode we take a break from our study of the book of John and talk about the benefits of studying eschatology (the study of last things), and particularly the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21). I talk about this subject in connection to my book, Signs of the End: What Jesus Taught His Disciples in the Olivet Discourse, and take you on a tour of the different sections of the discourse, talking about the challenges faced in the text and a preview of how they are addressed (which involves reading some excerpts from my book). I also take some time to talk about my own journey in studying the end times and how I came to write the book.
