Hating Jesus
Mark Howard
John 7 reveals the world’s hatred towards God and God’s love for a world that hates him.
Objections to Jesus
Mark Howard
What are the objections to Christ and why do they come? At the start of John 6, we see large crowds following Jesus, but near the end, many desert him and only a handful of disciples remain. Our passage today reveals what matters most: being clear about the truth of who Jesus is, why he […]
Fast Food or Forever Feast?
Mark Howard
Are we seeking things in life that truly satisfy? In John 6:22-40, we see the contrast between two types of food (food that perishes and food that endures) and the different ways we can obtain it: by toiling or by trusting.
The Greater Rescue
Mark Howard
As we study Jesus’ feeding the 5,000, we learn that the miracle of God’s supply (in verses 5-13) highlights our abject poverty as well as Jesus’ abundant provision. In verses 1-4 & 14-21, we see the message of God’s salvation.
Witnesses to God’s Son
Mark Howard
In our passage, Jesus addresses two major questions: why should people believe and why don’t people believe?
The Authority of Jesus
Mark Howard
In our passage today, we learn three things about Jesus: His relationship with the Father, the role given Him by the Father, and the response called for from the Father.
God’s Son vs. Superstition
Mark Howard
In John 5, we see that Christianity is the antithesis (or antidote) to superstition. Understanding Jesus’ compassion and control sets us free from our irrational superstitious attempts to manipulate the universe to our advantage.
Standing Firm in Prayer
Mark Howard
As we conclude our study on Ephesians 6, we focus on the importance of prayer: how to pray consistently, confidently, comprehensively, and collaboratively.
God’s Works & Word
Mark Howard
As we continue our study on the armor of God, we meditate on what it means to don the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit. The final items of armor strengthen us in the Lord as we recall God’s mighty works and rely on His mighty word.
The Nature & Necessity of Faith
Mark Howard
As we continue our study in Ephesians on the Armor of God, we see the nature of faith (as rational and relational reliance on Christ) and the necessity of faith (it is the only way to experience salvation and safety).
