Go and Sin No More
(John 5:9-17 – Go and Sin No More) As we study the scriptures there are often the obvious lessons that can be seen, but now and again we see some less obvious teachings. There is one such lesson in this section of scriptures. There were a number of times in the scriptures where Jesus healed…

You’re Not Listening…
(John 5:1-9) Do you ever get told off by someone else for not listening? I know I do! So often we do not hear what is being said because we are not listening. Well it just doesn't happen with our families and friends, but too often we don't hear the Lord because we are not…

Why Did Jesus Perform Miracles?
Why did Jesus perform miracles? He never did anything without reason & He performed miracles for an even more important reason than just healing the sick.

Team Jesus
(John 4:31-38) This teaching is an interesting one as it appears bang in the middle of the teaching about the woman at the well. It is interesting because Jesus shows us here that no one person in God’s Kingdom can, should or does work alone. We are part of a team, Team Jesus, if you…

The Woman at the Well – Part 2
(John 4:27-30, 39-45) In the last post we looked at the conversation between Jesus and the woman at the well. We saw the interactions between them and there were lessons that are useful to understand today coming from that discussion. As we continue to look at this situation there is still more to be understood.…

The Woman at the Well – Part 1
(John 4:1-30) There are several lessons that we learn from this discussion between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. So much so that I have decided to split this post into two parts rather than cover it in one long post. Jesus taught this woman much that we can learn from today and…

The Word of God
(John 3:31-36) Jesus spoke the words of God and He is the Word of God. What he spoke and taught in His gospel were not the words of man but of God. He did not speak about the things of this earth, but the things of the kingdom of heaven for His words are the…

John the Baptist, the Friend of God
(John 3:22-30) I have written about John the Baptist and his ministry quite a few times in this blog, and rather than repeat old ground I would refer you to the links at the bottom of this page to read those previous comments. However in this section of scripture there are a couple of points…

Sons of Light, Sons of Darkness
(John 3:19-21) Light and darkness. Could there be any greater or more compelling a contrast between two things? Opposites and in opposition, and neither can exist in the presence of the other. This is exactly the position we see between those who come to the Lord and those who choose not to, as described in…

Jesus Came to Save, Not to Condemn
(John 3:17-18) Quite often you hear people talk about how hard it is to be a Christian. They talk about all the rules and regulations and laws and how if you make a mistake you’ll be condemned to hellfire and brimstone. Unbelievers in particular talk about God as if he were ready to damn every…

For God So Loved The World
(John 3:16) How many people have quoted this scripture? It is probably the most recognized scripture in the bible and has been immortalized in poetry, song and verse by many writers and musicians. And with good reason for it encapsulates in a few words the awesome purpose of God for man and the Creation. These…

The Son of Man Will be Lifted Up
(John 3:9-15) While speaking to Nicodemus, the Lord provides him with an insight into why He had come. He shows this by using a parallel from the old testament to show how the faith revealed in Christianity would work. In this section there are several valuable lessons to be learned which will benefit us today.…
