    This briefly introduces the book of John.  The purpose of this book is to give the facts about Jesus and to encourage people to believe in Him so that they can find life in His name.   The brief introduction comes from the NIV Topical Study Bible, which is out of print, but a great study bible if you can get your hands on it.   The scripture reading of John 1 came from the World English Bible (US).

    John 3. Nicodemus meets with Jesus, John 3:16

    After a short review of John 2, we read through John 3.  Key points of this chapter are:   Nicodemus ( a senior Jewish rabbi) meets with Jesus, where Jesus tells him that to be saved, you must be born again.   This chapter includes probably the most well known verse the the Bible, John 3:16:  "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal live".   John the Baptist clarifies that he is not the Christ, that Jesus is the Christ.

    John 4 -The woman at the well, healing the nobleman's son

    In this episode we do a brief recap of John 3, and then read John 4.   This includes Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well.  Jesus reveals to her that he knows her life story even though she had never met him before, and after confronting her about her immoral lifestyle, she believes.  Her testimony led to several other Samaritans to also come listen to Jesus and may of them also believed. The chapter ends with Jesus performing his second miracle in Galilee, the healing of a nobleman's son.   Scripture reading comes from the World English Bible, and Intro and Outro music courtesy of this Youtube video

    John 5 - Jesus Heals the Man by the Pool at Bethesda

    In this episode, we do a brief recap of John 4, and then move on to John 5. Jesus encounters a disable or sickly man by the pool of Bethesda, a place where people gathered and it was rumored or known that sometimes people would be healed by entering the water.  Jesus heals the man and commands him to get up and walk...on the Sabbath!  That stirs up controversy with the Jewish religious leaders.  And then...Jesus claims he is the Son of God!  Which further stirs them up.  Jesus describes to him all of the ways and people who have and are testifying that he is the Son of God.

  8. Episode 8

    John 7 - Jesus goes to Jerusalem Again

    In John 7, Jesus's brothers mockingly encourage him to go back to Jerusalem to show "his works" to the crowds during the Feast of Booths.  Jesus declines to go with them, but instead goes separately and secretly.  However, the secret does last long as the crowds seek him out to listen to him and possibly to see if he will do another miracle like he had done on his previous visit.   The Jewish religious leaders further plot and scheme to arrest him, but because of all the attention Jesus is getting, and because as Christ said "it was not yet his time", their plans were not fulfilled.
