    Episode 33: I am the Resurrection and the Life

    In this episode, we explore Jesus’ fifth metaphorical “I Am” statement in the Gospel of John: “I am the resurrection and the life” from John 11. Through the raising of Lazarus, John presents the climactic sign of Jesus’ ministry - revealing His authority not only over sickness and suffering, but over death itself.

    Episode 32: I Am the Door and the Good Shepherd

    In this episode we explore Jesus’ words, “I am the door” and “I am the good shepherd” in John 10. We trace these images back through the Old Testament, from Psalm 23 and Ezekiel 34 to Eden, Passover, and the Exodus, showing how Jesus presents Himself as both the true Shepherd of God’s people and the only way into salvation and life.

    Episode 31: I Am the Light of the World

    What did Jesus really mean when He said, “I am the light of the world”? In this episode, we examine the rich Old Testament background of the Feast of Tabernacles and how it frames this bold claim. Tracing the theme of light and darkness throughout John’s Gospel, we explore how Jesus reveals truth, exposes darkness, and calls people to step into the light.

    Episode 30: I Am The Bread of Life

    In this episode, we explore the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ statement, “I am the bread of life” in Gospel of John 6. From the feeding of the 5,000 to walking on water, John builds a powerful narrative that points to who Jesus truly is - but the crowd only sees what He can give them. As the people look back to the manna in Book of Exodus, Jesus challenges their understanding and reveals something greater: He Himself is the true bread from heaven. Not just a provider of physical needs, but the source of eternal life.

    Episode 29: Overview of the I Am Statements

    This episode sets the stage for the journey ahead, where we’ll walk through the seven “I am” statements one by one. Today, we lay the foundation for our new series on the “I am” statements in the Gospel of John. When Jesus says ἐγώ εἰμι, “I am”, He’s doing more than speaking casually; He’s stepping into the very language God uses to reveal Himself in the Old Testament. We explore the deep roots of this phrase in Exodus 3:14 and trace how this divine name develops through the Hebrew Scriptures, the Greek Septuagint, and into John’s Gospel.

    Episode 28: Garden Language in Light of the Resurrection

    In this episode, we dive into how the Gospel of John intentionally uses Genesis language to tell the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. From gardens and kingship to breath, trees, and new life, John is echoing Genesis at every turn. We unpack how Jesus is revealed as the true Adam; rewriting the story of sin, death, and separation into one of restoration and new creation. And what was lost in Eden is restored through the risen King.

    Episode 27: Before You Read: Jerusalem

    In this episode, we explore the Jerusalem church—the birthplace of Christianity. Beginning with the resurrection of Jesus and the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost, we trace how a small group of disciples became a bold, growing community rooted in Jewish life yet transformed by the risen Messiah. We examine their communal way of life, the rise of key leaders like James, the pressures of persecution, and the challenges of cultural diversity. Finally, we follow the church’s expansion beyond Jerusalem and its decline after the city’s destruction in 70 AD—marking the shift from a local movement to a global faith.

    In this episode, we explore the seven churches addressed in Revelation chapters 2-3, examining their historical context and spiritual condition.
