John 8:1-11 (ESV) Our hosts recognize Jesus's lack of condemnation against the adulterous woman was not permission to go commit adultery. Nor was it overlooking or ignoring sin.

John 7:14-24 (LSB) Our hosts consider how Jesus established authority to heal on the Sabbath. He had no Scriptural command, statement, or example. He had to draw conclusions and make judgments. Yet, He claimed over and again not to be acting on His own authority. We discover when we logically infer things from what God explicitly states and shows, that is still acting by His authority.

John 7:1-24 (ESV) Andrew and Edwin notice Jesus cares about establishing authority for His actions. When questioned, He doesn't dismiss the questions, but provides Scriptural authority.

John 6:60-71 (ESV) Our hosts consider Peter's confession about Jesus. Whether Peter understood Jesus's teaching on eating His flesh and drinking His blood or not, His confession was spot on and got right to the point of it.

John 6:52-66 (NKJV) Our hosts take us back to the prologue of John's gospel to establish a contrast between Jesus's own people who did not receive versus those who did receive no matter who their biological ancestors were. This sets up an even deeper contrast between the Jewish crowd of John 6 and the Samaritan crowd of John 4. Andrew and Edwin compare and contrast these two groups and discover some insightful lessons about being born again of water and Spirit. Read the written devo that goes al...

John 2:18-22 (ESV) Andrew and Edwin notice even the apostles didn't understand Jesus's statement about the temple of His body until after the resurrection. The resurrection lifts the veil off of all Scripture. The resurrection is the central event of all history. It changes our perspective of all that came before it and all that comes after it. Through the lens of the resurrection, we do not reinterpret the Old Testament, rather we finally are capable of interpreting it the way God ultimately in...
