Title: The Raising of Lazarus - Setting the Stage

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 10/23/2016

Bible: John 11:1-33

Length: 64 min.

Overview: This episode occurred while Jesus was staying in Perea and shortly before Passover. It is an important point of transition in John's account, not because it stands between the Feast of Dedication and Passover, but because of the way it looks backward and forward. On the one hand, it clarifies John's theme of Jesus having come to give life to the world- on the other, it prefigures and so anticipates the climactic work of Calvary by which this life-giving mission was realized.

Title: Confrontation at the Feast of Dedication

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 10/16/2016

Bible: John 10:22-42

Length: 68 min.

Overview: This context advances the timeframe from the Feast of Booths to the Feast of Dedication, but continues the same general setting of the Jerusalem temple and a confrontation between Jesus and Israel's rulers. In terms of John's account, this episode effectively closed out Jesus' public self-disclosure and formed the climax of Israel's response to that disclosure. Jesus would not return to Jerusalem until He did so as her king coming to condemn her and pronounce His desolating sentence upon her and the nation she represented.

Title: The Good Shepherd Discourse - The Elaboration

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 10/9/2016

Bible: John 10:6-21

Length: 77 min.

Overview: Jesus' allegory left His hearers perplexed. They recognized that He was trying to make a point but they didn't know what that point was. So He proceeded to elaborate, explaining to them how His sheep-shepherd imagery pertained to Himself and His mission as Israel's Messiah.

Title: The Good Shepherd Discourse - The Allegory

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 9/25/2016

Bible: John 10:1-5

Length: 72 min.

Overview: Jesus' discourse on the Good Shepherd is one of the most familiar in John's gospel. However, it must be interpreted in light of the broader context and not treated in isolation. So it is critically important that the shepherd imagery itself be read against the backdrop of the Old Testament and its shepherd theology. Failure to do so will leave the reader missing the passage's rich messianic significance, and therefore Jesus' true intent in speaking these words.

Title: After the Feast of Booths - Jesus' Interpretation of the Healing

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 9/11/2016

Bible: John 9:35-41

Length: 72 min.

Overview: When Jesus heard that the Pharisees had rejected and put out the man He'd healed of his blindness, He went and found him. Jesus previously healed him of his physical blindness- this encounter would see the man's spiritual eyes opened such that he'd now recognize Jesus as the Son of Man - Yahweh's Messiah sent into the world to accomplish His work of judgment, renewal and ingathering.

Title: After the Feast of Booths - The Investigation of the Healing

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 9/4/2016

Bible: John 9:8-34

Length: 65 min.

Overview: Jesus' healing of the blind man provoked varying responses, including astonishment, disbelief, fear and accusation. Thus, after explaining himself to those who knew him, the man was brought before an assembly of Pharisees to give account to them. John used these interrogations to set the stage for the climax of the episode in which Jesus disclosed the ultimate significance of the healing within His messianic mission.

Title: After the Feast of Booths - Jesus' Healing of the Blind Man

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 8/28/2016

Bible: John 9:1-7

Length: 73 min.

Overview: Jesus' encounter with the Jews in the temple ended with them preparing to stone Him. Knowing their intent, He slipped away with His disciples, only to come across a blind man some time later. The balance of this section of John's account centers on Jesus' healing of this man and the consequences which resulted from it. This message examines the healing itself and its relevance to the larger context.

Title: After the Feast of Booths - Jesus' Exposure of the Believing Jews

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 8/21/2016

Bible: John 8:30-59

Length: 68 min.

Overview: This final segment of Jesus' interaction with the Jews in the temple following the Feast of Booths is especially important because of the contribution it makes to John's treatment of Israel's unbelief. John has demonstrated Israel's rejection of Jesus as it took the form of embrace as well as opposition- this account builds on that by showing how Jesus understood and interacted with the unbelief of men who expressed their faith in Him and desire to follow Him as disciples.

Title: After the Feast of Booths - Jesus and the Jews

Subtitle: The Gospel of John

Speaker: Kit Culver

Broadcaster: Sovereign Grace Community Church

Event: Sunday Service

Date: 8/14/2016

Bible: John 8:21-29

Length: 72 min.

Overview: After declaring Himself to be the light of the world who gives life to all who follow Him, Jesus indicted those listening to Him as men set for the day of judgment soon to fall upon their unbelieving nation. Where He was going they couldn't come because they refused to embrace and follow Him as the light sent to them by their covenant God.
