    Why the Old Covenant Couldn’t Save Us — John 1

    What does it mean that “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us”? In this teaching, Pastor Christian Dobson opens the Gospel of John to reveal how God’s plan unfolded from the Old Covenant to the New — from Law to Grace, from striving to rest, from religion to relationship. Through the story of Israel’s struggle in the Old Testament and the powerful truth of John 1, we see how Jesus — the Logos, the very Word of God — stepped into human history, pitched His tent among us, and revealed the tangible glory of God. Discover why the Law could never save us, how Christ fulfilled it perfectly, and what it means for you today to live under the New Covenant of Grace and Truth. 👉 Key Themes & Keywords:Gospel of John, Bible Study, Old Covenant vs New Covenant, Jesus Christ, Logos, Grace and Truth, Law of Moses, Book of Nehemiah, Christian Teaching, Bible Podcast, Salvation, Word Became Flesh, Gospel Message, Communion, Faith, Spiritual Growth

    When God Is Silent: How 400 Years of Stillness Prepared the World for Jesus (John 1)

    What happens when God seems silent? Between the closing of Nehemiah and the opening of the Gospel of John, 400 years passed with no prophetic word—no miracles, no messengers… yet history was moving under His hand. In this episode, Pastor Christian Dobson takes you through the powerful transition from the Old Testament’s final failures to the New Testament’s ultimate fulfillment. Discover how God used the rise of the Greek Empire, the spread of a universal language, and the Roman roads themselves to prepare the world for His greatest message—the Word made flesh. You’ll learn: Why human promises and passion can’t overcome sin How the “silent years” were actually full of divine movement The prophetic accuracy behind Daniel’s vision of Greece and Rome Why John starts his Gospel with “In the beginning was the Word” Key Verse: John 20:31 — “These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” Tune in for a faith-building journey through history, prophecy, and purpose—and see how even in silence, God is still speaking.

    Nehemiah 13

    In this powerful closing study of Nehemiah Chapter 13, we step into one of the most revealing moments in Old Testament history—the moment when revival fades, covenants are broken, and Nehemiah returns to find the people of God once again compromising their promises. Nehemiah had watched genuine repentance, heartfelt tears, and sacred oaths in chapters 7–12. Leaders signed a covenant to honor God through marriage purity, Sabbath rest, and tithes to the Temple. But just twelve years later, every promise was broken. The revival didn’t last. Here, as the curtain closes on the Old Testament narrative, we see what man-made religion, emotion, and rules can’t do — they can’t conquer sin. Even Nehemiah’s righteous anger, strong leadership, and temple reform can’t change the human heart. But this is where the gospel story begins.Right after Nehemiah… John’s Gospel opens.Where the Old Testament ends with broken promises, the New Testament begins with Jesus Christ, the only One who can truly bring lasting transformation. 📖 Key Themes: Nehemiah 13 Bible study Revival, covenant, and human failure Why man’s efforts can’t overcome sin The need for Jesus Christ after the Old Testament Historical bridge between Nehemiah and the Gospel of John 🎧 Subscribe and follow for more verse-by-verse Bible teaching, Old and New Testament connections, and clear gospel-centered teaching from Calvary Kona.

    Nehemiah Chapter 12-13

    In this episode, we walk through Nehemiah chapters 12 and 13, where joyful worship and faithful stewardship in God’s house collide with compromise and misplaced priorities. Nehemiah gathers the Levites to restore worship, creates space for generosity, and appoints faithful stewards—but after his departure, the enemy creeps back in. We’ll explore how God calls us to protect the sacred spaces of our hearts, homes, and churches so that His joy and work can continue.

These leaders signed a covenant to protect their homes, honor Sabbath rhythms, and give firstfruits, showing how revival reshapes everyday choices.
