    Starting the Year in Rhythm as Gods Special Imagers

    Begin the new year not with pressure or resolutions, but with the truth of who God created you to be. In this New Year’s Special, Jeff walks through Genesis 1, the rhythms God built into creation, and the calling to live as God’s imagers in a world desperate for His light. You’ll discover how God’s timing, God’s purpose, and God’s Spirit work together to restore your identity and bring your life back into rhythm. If you’re stepping into 2026 feeling worn down, out of sync, or unsure of who you are, this message will help you start the year grounded, steady, and filled with hope

    Hanukkah — Light in the Darkness

    This special episode introduces Hanukkah in simple terms. Jeff and Kimberly explain the menorah, the miracle of the oil, and how Jesus Himself celebrated the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22–23). For Christians, Hanukkah is more than history — it’s a reminder that God multiplies what looks like not enough, and it beautifully enriches the Christmas season with the story of His faithfulness.

    John 2:12-25 Passover in Jerusalem: The Sign of a Greater Temple

    In this episode, Jeff and Brent walk through John 2:12–25, from Capernaum to Jerusalem and the cleansing of the temple. Along the way, they explore the meaning of Passover, the sacrificial system, and why Jesus’ dramatic act was more than a protest against corruption — it was a prophetic sign pointing to Himself as the true temple. The discussion highlights the difference between shallow faith based on signs and genuine discipleship that trusts Jesus Himself.

    John 2: 1-11 The First Sign-Water to Wine

    In today’s episode, we explore John 2:1–11, the wedding at Cana — Jesus’ first sign. Jeff and Brent discuss the cultural setting of a first‑century wedding, the deeper meaning of the clay water pots, and how this miracle points to new creation breaking in. They also address alcohol from a biblical perspective.

    Episode 10 John 1:43-51 The Call of Philip and Nathanael

    In this episode, we explore the call of Philip and Nathanael in John 1:43–51. From Galilee to Bethsaida, we trace how discipleship begins with a simple invitation—“Come and see.” Nathanael’s encounter with Jesus moves from doubt about Nazareth to a personal revelation under the fig tree, leading to his confession of three titles. Jesus then promises “greater things,” revealing Himself as the Son of Man and the true ladder between heaven and earth. Along the way, we’ll look at the ancient Jewish idea of “two powers in heaven”—one invisible, one visible—and how early Christians understood Jesus in that light. Finally, we’ll see how Jesus’ climactic words echo Jacob’s dream in Genesis 28, revealing Himself as the true ladder between heaven and earth.

    Ep 9 John 1:35-42

    In this episode, we step into day three of John’s Gospel—where discipleship begins with a question, identity is reshaped, and bold confession lays the foundation for the church. John the Baptist points his followers to Jesus. Two disciples follow, asking not for a sermon, but for a place to stay. We unpack what it meant to follow a rabbi in the first century, explore the depth of the Greek word menō, and trace Simon’s journey from fisherman to Peter the Rock. And we connect it all to Caesarea Philippi—where Peter’s confession becomes a spiritual invasion in enemy territory.

    Ep. 8 John 1: 29-34

    John the Baptist sees Jesus and declares, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” But what did he really mean—and what did he understand? In this episode, we explore John 1:29–34, unpacking the layers of sacrificial imagery, the Spirit’s descent, and how Jesus steps into Israel’s story to redeem it. With insights from scholars and reflections on spiritual awakening, we trace how this moment reveals Jesus’ identity, mission, and the Spirit-filled calling that sets Him apart
