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 ...

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...

How Can These Things Be?
Â
Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus is as theologically rich as it is short. In this story, one of the most prominent teachers in all of Israel (Nicodemus) comes to inquire of Jesus. Sure, he comes under cover of darkness, and yes, he is only willing to acknowledge that Jesus is one of many te...

An Ordinary Gospel
Â
Sometimes I worry that because the good news of the gospel is so familiar to us, that we've lost it's power. Have we made it ordinary? A part of our lives that we know, but keep safely tucked away, careful to not let it disrupt our daily life too much? Or maybe something that has simply become...

He Dwells Among Us
Â
The great epic that is the Bible begins with a clear conflict: the divine breathes life into humanity in order to live in community with us, but once sin arrives, this intimacy is shattered. Humanity finds itself thrust outside of Eden and away from God, in a position that they were never crea...

Finding Your Voice
In the opening lines of Gospel of John, John the Baptist arrives not as the light, but as the witness. His purpose is simple and singular: to help others see. And as we learned last week, we are called to do the same.
Yet I find myself struggling to fulfill this calling every day.
Because when i...

Faith Needs a Voice
At the opening of the Gospel, John speaks of a mysterious figure—the Word—who is both with God and is God. The Creator of all things, the source of life, the light of humanity. A light, he says, that has entered the darkness—and a darkness that cannot comprehend it or overcome it.
And then, witho...

In the Beginning
Â
There are openings, and then there are thresholds.
Can you imagine John, wrestling with the weight of telling this story? He knows he has been called to this—to bear witness, to testify, to shape experience into language so that others might believe. But language falters. Words feel thin, like...
