Redeemer Church, Odessa

In the text this week we see Mary act in faith and devotion to Jesus, and in contrast, we see the selfishness of Judas. Pastor Tanner challenges us to reflect on our lives and consider whether we live with hearts full of gratitude for what Jesus has done for us.

Guest pastor Dawson Tolley guides us through the text and shows us that not only do we see the plot to kill Jesus, but the text also serves as a window into our hearts. We can fall into the same compromises and calculations when it comes to following Jesus, just as the religious leaders who sent Jesus to the cross.

Pastor Tanner House teaches about the raising of Lazarus and how it displays the mighty power of God. He reminds us that God is for us and not only sees us amid our struggles and pain, but He is also at work in the midst of it.

Our summer intern, Gavin Gray, talks about the humanity of Christ seen in this text, the importance of Jesus being fully God and fully man, and how He is able to empathize with us in our suffering.

As he walks us through the text, Pastor Tanner challenges us to consider our response to hard things and circumstances.  He reminds us that although we do not always know the reason for our suffering, as believers we can be confident that whatever comes to us is for our good and His glory. We are also reminded that in Christ we see a God who is tender, compassionate, and meets our needs.

Guest pastor JR Favela discusses how this text shows that Jesus is the Christ because He is the Savior, God, and the main point of the Bible.

Pastor Tanner House talks about the care of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, to us, and reminds us of His watchful guidance and protection.

Pastor Tanner House picks up where we left off last week when Jesus heals a blind man. Once again, we must consider the question: Who is Jesus to me?

As we continue in John, Matt Bertrand walks us through Jesus healing a blind man and discusses suffering and the sovereignty of God.

In this Equip Class, Pastor Tanner House introduces us to a few theologians and their contributions to what is known as Christology.
