Look at the Lamb (Day 10)

Day 10 – Nick Summary of Chapter 10 Verses 1-21: As the Great Shepherd of the sheep, Jesus’ main focus is for His sheep to find pasture (verse 9) with Him and to be led onwards by Him (verse 4).

Don’t Be A Ross

Christian Fundamentalism has a bad name because it’s a term that’s often used to stereotypically describe someone who believes in biblical orthodoxy… …but in a BAAAAAAD way: Christian Fundamentalists are regularly stereotyped as being inflexible, bigoted, arrogant, unloving, religious and legalistic and perhaps not ‘cool’, ‘street-wise’ or ‘relevant’ any more. More specifically, at the apexContinue reading “Don’t Be A Ross”

Look at the Lamb (Day 9)

Day 9- Olau Summary of Chapter 9 Verses 1-12: Chapter 8 finishes with Jesus making a staggering claim about his identity (v.58, ‘before Abraham was born, I am’), and the theme of Jesus’ identity continues in Chapter 9.

Arguably the most inflammatory and offensive Jesus-passage in the entire bible Summary of Chapter 8 Verses 1-11: In your bible you’ll notice the last/first section of John 7/8 is italicised because the 7:53-8:11 passage wasn’t originally included in the earliest manuscripts though it was still in the original Canon. Suffice toContinue reading “Look at the Lamb (Day 8)”

Look at the Lamb (Day 6)

Day 6 – Katie Summary of Chapter 6 Verses 1-15: Jesus’ ministry continues and word begins to spread around the people that the man they thought was Joseph’s son was doing wonderful things.

Look at the Lamb (Day 5)

Day 5 – Ant Summary of Chapter 5 Verses 1-14: The healing of a man who had been an invalid for 38 years. What a surprising question Jesus asks, “Do you want to get well?”. A really important question because sometimes we like to stay just where we are rather than face the challenges thatContinue reading “Look at the Lamb (Day 5)”

Look at the Lamb (Day 4)

Day 4 – Nick Summary of Chapter 4 Verses 1-26: This is the chapter, and the exact passage, that often pops up during worship training days and seminars – and so it should!
