Messiah's Upper Room Podcast

Join Messiah's Upper Room Bible Class and Pastor Otte as we continue our series on the book of John. We discuss the concern John's disciples had with more people going to Jesus and fewer people coming to John or his disciples for baptism and how similarities may be drawn for current Christians comparing church organizations.

Pastor Otte and the Upper Room class continue the discussion between Jesus and Nicodemus. The class tackles several thought-provoking questions regarding the love we receive from God and how it may brush against our human logic.

Pastor Otte and the Upper Room Bible Class continue their journey through John, learning about Nicodemus who came to Jesus by night to gain a better understanding of this man come from God.

Join Messiah's Upper Room as we continue into the second chapter of the book of John and discuss the greater things Jesus foretold His disciples.

We finish the first chapter of John discussing Nathaniel's realization that Jesus is the Messiah, and what Jesus means when He tells His disciples that they will "see greater things than these." The class also jumps into the wedding at Cana and the first documented miracle performed by Jesus in turning the water to wine.

In this latest installment on our series through the book of John, Pastor Otte and the class discuss Jesus and His disciples answering others who have questions by telling them to "come and see" and decide for themselves. Class members also examine what brought them to church, and how we may be able to make ourselves more involved in the church in order to invite others to "come and see" the good news of Jesus for themselves.

Pastor Otte and the class continue their study in the book of John where John bore witness about Jesus, calling Him the Lamb of God. The class discusses how we may also bear witness, and the importance of learning what people seek before offering our own answers in haste.

"I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness,'Make straight the way of the Lord'"

Join Pastor Otte and the Upper Room Bible Class as we continue our study in the gospel of John. We examine why it was important for John to identify himself and letting people know he was not a prophet or the Christ, but only a messenger - a voice to prepare and make clear the road ahead for God.
