The Glory of Jesus
Â
The desire to see God, to hear His voice, to have some tangible evidence of His presence with us is deeply human. When we are consumed by our failures, our doubt, our trials and tragedies, we yearn for the assurance that God is with us—that He really is there, that He sees us, and that He won'...

The Light Still Shines
Â
John wants us to be thinking about Genesis as we read his gospel. This is evident from his opening lines and is reinforced over and over again throughout the narrative. And where does Genesis begin? It begins with the Spirit of God, hovering over the dark waters of an unformed void. No light. ...

And They All Went Home
Â
John 7 ends with the words, "And they all went home..." then chapter 8 continues this thought with the contrast "...but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives."Â
They all went home, but Jesus...He went to the Mount of Olives. There's something poetic about this single line. A depth to these few wor...

When You Can't See the Way
Â
The book of Exodus tells the story of God’s deliverance.
It’s a story most of us know well: Israel had been trapped in slavery in Egypt for generations when God rescued His people with His mighty hand. And then, almost immediately, they found themselves standing in the wilderness.
Isn't that h...

Who Sees Clearly?
Â
A woman stands, shaking in fear. The religious leaders who have dragged her there demand her death, a crowd begins to form, looking on, in curiosity and shock. She has become a tool in their argument, her very life an afterthought to their schemes.
The religious elite have brought here here. ...

Children of God or Children of Satan?
Â
John 8 is a chapter filled with people trying to prove who they are. Again and again, the people surrounding Jesus make claims about their identity, their beliefs, and their relationship with God. They stand before God Himself in ignorance and insist they know better because of who they are.

Not Even His Brothers
Some years back my husband and I knew we had been called to make a move. We knew God was leading us to leave our home in Missouri and move south. We'd prayed. We'd fleeced. We'd become convicted. And nobody understood it. It was difficult for our extended family to accept that after living near ...

More than Enough
There is a pattern running through the first six chapters of John. The people that come to Jesus repeatedly do so because they are in need of something.
The disciples come because they are looking for the Messiah. Nicodemus comes because he wants answers. The woman at the well comes looking for ...

John 6 Pt 2 One Would Betray Him
There is so much powerful teaching in the 6th chapter of John. So many rich promises and lofty theology. But it's always the closing lines of the chapter that linger in my soul.Â
In John's story, Jesus has been hard at work over the preceding days. He has fed thousands, calmed a storm, and declar...

The Boy Who Let Go
Â
One of the few stories that appears in all four gospel accounts is the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 on a hilltop. And it's a beautiful story, a story that I didn't fully understand until studying it here at inBible, and if you haven't listened to our episode on John 6, I'd recommend it.Â

From Creation to Resurrection
Â
After Jesus heals the man by the pool, the Jewish leaders are enraged because Jesus has instructed the man to carry his mat on the sabbath—a task that was considered work by the Jews. And what follows is a lengthy teaching in which Jesus starts to say things like He is the son of God and God g...
