Missiology

John 15:1-6 Today we open up a fantastic chapter and begin by defining how we actually walk on the narrow path in the community of faith for the long game.

John 14: 16-31 Today we wrap up John 14 by understanding that God's Spirit he now bestows, his words incorporated into our very being as our MO in this life, along with his ever abiding presence are the real keys to abiding Peace that escapes most of us. 0:00 Where We've Been 1:34 Normal, yet Fleeting Anxiety Remedies 3;21 Jesus and His Abiding Spirit as the Only Lasting Remedy 6:27 The Spirit of Truth is Rarely Truly Known 7:41 We Don't Have to Be Orphans Unless We Choose To Be One 9:40 Commanding Keeping Through Grace and Love Quals His Revelation and Abiding Presence 14:23: The Spirit Will Keep Us On Track About God's Truth 17:58 Peace According to Jesus 20:43 The Wrap

John 14:1-15 Today we introduce Jesus' remedy for trouble in this life and some of the ways we can ensure his presence stays with us. 0:00 Time Off to Reflect 1:18: The Remedy for Anxiety, 4:17 Belief 8:08 The Inclusive Exclusivity, 12;27 Jesus is the Exact Representation 16:06 The Works Make it Obvious 17:08 The Key to the Christian Life

John 13 Today we tackle the whole chapter of John chapter 13, ultimately focusing on whether American Christianity at large is on the narrow path or ever really has been. 0:00 Jesus lays Down a Model for His Disciples 4:11 The Narrow Path Properly Understood 5:37 My Father's Example 8:51 The Falling Away of American Christianity 11:27 The Judas Dilemma 13:43 Jesus Takes the Form of a Servant 15:46 Peter Wants No Part Of It 18:27: Foot Washing Related to Jesus' Sacrifice is Instructive For Us 23:53 Jesus Told Us So 26:40 God's People Have Always Been Enslaved In One Way or Another 29:40 Jesus Makes His Move 32:05 A New Commandment 35:36 Peter's Mini Me's 37:25 Have We Ever Been on the Narrow Path?

John 12:34-50 Today we wrap up chapter 12 with a somewhat sad state of affairs and realize that even the very light of Jesus in our presence and signs of any magnitude will not be enough to garner belief and true discipleship on the narrow path. 0:00 Introduction 4:20 The Son of Man is the Real Issue 9:20 The Light is Not Enough 14:21 The Signs Are Not Enough 18:41 Blindness is a Big Deal 22:45 The Cushy Life and the Approval of Man 25:25 We Choose to See or Not to See 28:12 Conclusion

John 12:20-33 Today we talk about the Upside Down Kingdom which is of course what the channel is all about, but more important, its what the gospel is about. We talk also a bit about what the time of the gentiles means and doesn't mean and try to define at least broadly what living the cruciform life might look like. 0:00 Introduction to the Upside-Down Kingdom 3:30 The Time of the Gentiles with a Caveat 8:49 A Remnant of the Jews 11:21 The Upside Down Kingdom Broadly Defined 21:44 Conclusion

John 12:1-19 Today we see into Mary's anointing of Jesus for his burial and two types of resurrection fans as you would expect: Those who believe because of it, and those who instead want to kill both Lazarus and Jesus for it.

What We're All About

John 11:45-57 Today we wrap up chapter 11 as the Religious Mafia finally instigate the hit against Jesus in the aftermath of the implication of Lazarus' resurrection, as Jesus slips out the back, Jack. And well, the Passover is coming. Isn't it Ironic? 0:00 The Practical Aspect of the Scriptures We Often Miss 2:37 The Religious Mafia 4:07 Belief and Satanic Activity Co-mingle 6:15: Lazarus' Resurrection Implications 9:02 The Council is formed 13:20 Caiphas Prophesies and Legislates its Fulfillment 17:49 Jesus does a John the B! 18:51 The Irony of the Passover 20:06 Conclusion

John 11:1-44 Today we tell the story of the last of Jesus' signs as told by the apostle John; the healing of Lazarus. We as always put ourselves into the story and draw lessons that apply to you and I directly as we walk on the narrow path each day. 0:00 Introduction 3:30 Jesus' Second Family 5:43 So That You Will Finally Believe 6:51 The Chosen and Lazarus 7:38 Awkward Alert 8:37 Disciples Imply Jesus Didn't Get the Memo 9:19 Staying the Light of His Presence 10:59 Missing the Cues of Jesus 12:27 Doubting Thomas and Us 16:08 Unanswered Prayer and Signs of Unbelief 22:33 Jesus Weeps for a Plethora of Reasons 24:57 Faithful are the Wounds of Friends 25:31 Only Believe 27:39 Conclusion

John 10: 19-41 Today we conclude John 10 with another picture of the Patriarchy losing its grip, and who's only retaliation after the mounting evidence that Jesus is who he says he is, is to of course get rid of him as soon as possible.

John 10-5-18 Today we conclude with Jesus' confrontation (again) with the religious leaders where he basically calls them thieves and robbers. He then lets them know the jig is up because his sheep will no longer be enslaved to these hired hands, but will in fact know his voice only.

John 10:1-4 Today we meet the real Shepherd and the Sheep, and those who posed as Shepherds. The moral of the story is that it's really good to know who's who.

John 9: 17-41 Today we conclude our thoughts around our new and emergent disciple (i.e. "the blind man" who now sees), and his evolving into someone that could actually teach the church something if they'd only listen. Meanwhile, he's got his excommunication papers on the. narrow path.

John 9: 1-16 Today we bump into a blind man that Jesus heals, as the church of that day speculate as to who, what and the where of his life, assuming they see correctly, but only him and Jesus are teaching this class.

John 8: 44-59 Today we wrap up chapter 8 and our talk about the back and forth between Jesus and the religious leaders about what really constitutes freedom, whether one really knows God or not, and Jesus reminding them who their Daddy really is.

John 8:36-43 Today we continue talking about what it means to truly be free and how Jesus' accusers prove not only that they have it awfully wrong, but that they perhaps have a different Father than the one they suppose.

John 8:31-35 Today we introduce what it means to be truly free and the costs associate, plus why even those who should know still don't get it, and thus are incapable of leading anyone to it.

John 8:12-30 Today, the battle between the real theologian in the room and the wannabes continues, and what it's so important we choose wisely.

John 8:1-11 Today we find Jesus in a situation where everyone has stone's but Him. It is a clear lesson on how Jesus views our sins and how we as Christians should approach our judgement on others.

John 7:32-53 Today we further talk about the house divided regarding the truth about Jesus and the religious leaders coming to terms with the fact that they are losing their cherished religion that had become devoid of anything truly life-giving. We also are reminded at how far too easily we can become just like them today, by arguing about theologies we think we know, and yet the very truth Jesus came to show us is found MIA!

John 7:1-36 Today we enter the phase of Jesus life that we could already sense coming. Though it's not yet his time to die, he truly has now entered into the Dead God-Man Walking aspect of his time on earth. In addition, we see everyone continually rejecting him, misunderstanding what he is saying, and his own brothers give advice that is not sincere. In addition, the disciples are still a ways off from really understanding themselves.

John 6:52-71 Today, we conclude our synopsis of what Jesus was really saying in the latter part of John 6, but one that means everything! And when we (like Peter) finally get it, nothing will ever be the same again.

John 6:41-71 Today Jesus begins to separate the men from the boys and the girls from the women with taking who He is to new heights a little hard to swallow, literally it seems.

John 6:22-40 Today we look at Jesus conversation to the people following him for all the wrong reasons and wondering to ourselves if we can ever get beyond our economic-darwinistic preoccupation in order to truly know Jesus.
