The Common Sense Gospel

Bartimaeus, son of Timaeus has heard that Jesus of Nazareth is passing by. Bartimaeus knows what this means for him and he is NOT letting this wonderful opportunity slip through his hands. May we all be more like him in our desire to stand before the Lord.

For Season 11, we'll be looking at why we do the things we do in worship, and in our daily lives. Is seems appropriate to address one of the biggest questions for this study. "Why do we worship God?" Danny and Kurt will use the Holy Scriptures to explain the answer to this important question.

We have heard Jesus tell the apostles that they are going up to Jerusalem, where He will be betrayed, mocked, spit upon, and killed. After these things, He will rise again on the third day. James and John must understand the plain teaching of Jesus because they have a very strange request for our Lord.

IN Season 10, Danny and Kurt have looked at the 7 famous I Am's in the gospel of John. For this final episode of the season, they will share 9 more "I Am's" that are also in John. These 9 "I Am's" are absolute, not metaphorical.

Season 11 is right around the corner and Danny and Kurt have a special request for all of you. We're truly looking forward to all of our studies with you in this new season!

"How hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter the kingdom of God." Today we'll hear Jesus explain this statement and how much our trust matters to His Father. He will also prophesy of His own betrayal, mocking, scourging, and crucifixion. "And the third day, He will rise again." Praise God!!!

In John 15, Jesus will tell us that He is the true vine and apart from Him we can do nothing. Danny and Kurt discuss this eternal truth and the implications that it has for all of us. Thank you for studying with us!

Does Jesus love the little children of the world? His disciples don't seem to think so. Today, we will see how Jesus feels about our little ones. We'll also see Him speak to a man he loves and tell Him the truth, using these powerful words, "This one thing you lack..."

Well, the Pharisees have shown up again, interrupted our Lord, and ruined another teaching opportunity for the Son of God. This time they have a question about marriage and divorce. The question is, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" Let's listen carefully to Jesus' answer and take note that God's design for marriage was established in the very beginning.

As Jesus sits quietly in the large upper room with His eleven apostles, He understands their worry and their concern for Him. He has told them what is coming and His hour is now at hand. He knows they are troubled and so He lovingly says to them, "Let not your hearts be trouble; you believe in God, believe also in Me."
