October 10, 2021: The parable of the Good Shepherd (or, Jesus cares for us)

This week, Pastor Hodge looks at the parable of the Good Shepherd, found in John 10:1-15. Jesus gives this parable in verses 1-5, and then interprets it in the remaining verses. Christ shows us how He is the door to the sheepfold, and how He is the Good Shepherd. What is our challenge after looking at Jesus in this way?

October 3, 2021: The blindness of sin

This week. Pastor Hodge looked at John 9:1-41. Here we see Jesus healing the blind man, and then the religious leaders, aka the Pharisees, question the blind man and throw him out. Jesus confronts both the blind man and the Pharisees, and shows them that they are blind to Whom they are arguing with, and who He really is. What does that mean for us today?

September 26, 2021: The religious leaders do not seek the truth of Jesus

 This week, Pastor Hodge expounds on John 8:48-59. They make accusations at Jesus, and Jesus defends himself from the false accusations. They speak of death, and go into what could be described as a question and answer session. But did the leaders learn anything? And what is our challenge as we read this?

September 19, 2021: With God as our Father we love Jesus

This week, Pastor Hodge expounded on John 8:41-47. Here we see that Jesus told the supposed religious leaders that if God is our Father we would love Him. But they didn't understand, even though Jesus spoke the truth. How does this apply to us today? Watch and find out, by cutting and pasting this link into your browser:

September 5, 2021: The Son speaks on the Father's initiative

 This week, Pastor Hodge expounded on John 8:21-30. His sermon, entitled "The Son speaks on the Father's initiative", contains hard yet beautiful truths that Christians embrace. But some did not embrace those truths. What are the consequences as Jesus said? Watch his sermon on Facebook, YouTube, or here on archive.org:
