Teacher: Jack Guerra
Passages: John 3:1-21

In “An Honest Conversation,” Pastor Jack Guerra unpacks John 3:1–21, where Jesus meets Nicodemus and reveals what it means to be born again. Their late-night talk moves from natural thinking to a deep spiritual truth—real life comes through faith in the Son of God. Jesus came not to condemn but to save, offering light and eternal life to all who believe. Our response to Him reveals what’s truly in our hearts.

In this week’s episode of The Follow Up, Pastors Adam, Jeff, Bill, and Jack unpack the second half of John 2 — the powerful scene where Jesus clears the temple.

Why did Jesus flip tables and drive people out? What’s the difference between righteous anger and human anger? And how do we keep from putting barriers between people and God today?

The pastors dive into the historical context of temple commerce, the meaning of Jesus’ righteous response, and why He never entrusted Himself to the opinions of people. Along the way, they connect the story to our modern struggles with identity, trust, and keeping worship pure.

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance conviction with compassion, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.

This week, Pastor Jack Guerra and Pastor Bill Van Kirk dive into John 1:19–51, exploring the rich meaning behind John the Baptist’s declaration, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”

They unpack how this title connects to the Old Testament sacrificial system, Passover, Abraham and Isaac, and ultimately Jesus as the Messiah who takes away the sin of the world. The conversation also highlights the disciples’ bold confessions, the invitation to “Come and See,” and how Scripture interprets Scripture.
