    THE JOHN 3 SERIES - EPISODE 35 - RECONCILING THE PARADOX OF CHRIST IN THE SERPENT OF NUMBERS 21

    THE JOHN 3 SERIES - EPISODE 35 - RECONCILING THE PARADOX OF CHRIST IN THE SERPENT OF NUMBERS 21 Many times a surface look at Scripture results in what appears a paradox, but upon further investigation and consideration, a cohesive, focused, and harmonious truth emerges. Such is the case with the serpent imagery in Numbers 21 as it relates to Jesus Christ. The Israelites looked upon a fashioned bronze serpent and God healed them. Much understanding of biblical symbolism and related theological truths contribute toward clarifying a confusion that we sadly often avoid because of its difficulty. This series not only focuses on an exegesis of the passage, but also a participatory understanding of expository learning. This study will guide you through processes of reading comprehension where you will learn methods of inquiry that lead to a deeper understanding of biblical texts. The goal of the study serves to help people get more out of reading the Bible in their personal devotions far beyond the scope of this study. If you are new to the podcast, I recommend that you go back to the beginning of the series as it will help you connects doctrines, symbols, illustrative language, and themes that John presents. You will learn to think more critically of Scripture while learning to ask questions that will deepen your understanding of God's Word. You also find this and a study of prophecy in a unique devotional format at my website, moretowonder.org.

    THE JOHN 3 SERIES - EPISODE 34 - THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT TO INTERPRETING THE CROSS In this podcast, we begin to look at the groundwork that Jesus lays before Nicodemus which stems from a mutually agreed upon history and precept. Jesus proposes that the Messiah will give new meaning to the record of Moses and the Israelites in the wilderness as recorded in Numbers 21. This series not only focuses on an exegesis of the passage, but also a participatory understanding of expository learning.

    THE JOHN 3 SERIES - EPISODE 33: GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST THROUGH A PROGRESSIVE REVELATORY EXPERIENCE

    THE JOHN 3 SERIES - EPISODE 33: GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST THROUGH A PROGRESSIVE REVELATORY EXPERIENCE Through observation of the manner in which Jesus reveals something to the well-educated, this episode discovers how and why Jesus takes great care in holding back some details from Nicodemus. We learn that God gives us just enough to make a decision to believe while at the same time, He gives us time to process what He reveals before adding more. As such, we patiently watch ourselves grow in our faith as God brings to fruition that which He subtly earlier revealed. This series not only focuses on an exegesis of the passage, but also a participatory understanding of expository learning. This study will guide you through processes of reading comprehension where you will learn methods of inquiry that lead to a deeper understanding of biblical texts.

    THE JOHN 3 SERIES - EPISODE 32 - THE COMPARATIVE PARALLELS THAT DEFINE A PERSPECTIVE

    THE JOHN 3 SERIES - EPISODE 32 - THE COMPARATIVE PARALLELS THAT DEFINE A PERSPECTIVE In this podcast, we examine the comparative methodology of Jesus' teaching that redirects Nicodemus to view life and faith from a heavenly perspective. As related to his seeking the Messiah, Nicodemus must reframe his understanding in spiritual terms. The danger of his quest for relief in worldly trouble fails in the recognition of his spiritual need. This series not only focuses on an exegesis of the passage, but also a participatory understanding of expository learning. This study will guide you through processes of reading comprehension where you will learn methods of inquiry that lead to a deeper understanding of biblical texts.

    THE JOHN SERIES - EPISODE 31 - JOHN 3: THE THEMATICALLY CONGRUENT CONNECTIONS RELATING TO THE AUTHORITY OF GOD IN CHRIST The development of a theme pervades John 3 with the regard to the establishment of God's authority in Christ.
