Ep. 35 - He Died According to Scripture Jun 15, 2023

Show notes

This week on Bible Caddie, we continue to answer the question “Why Did Jesus Die?” In this episode we peel back another layer of what was really going on that Friday in April. Today we are going to see that Jesus wasn't simply killed, He was laying down His life. And He wasn’t just laying down His life, He was dying according to plan. His death was a fulfillment of Scripture.

Ep. 34 - He Laid Down His Life Jun 08, 2023

Show notes

We are in our second week of a new segment in looking at Jesus Christ. We’ve looked at what He did, and how He came, and what He taught, and what He claimed, and now we are asking, “Why Did He Die?” His entire life had been moving to this point of His death. And last week, we saw that He didn’t just die, He was killed. The religious leaders hated Him because He undermined their institutions, exposed who they really were, and threatened their power and influence among the people. So they stirred up the crowd, and they persuaded the Roman authorities. And on Passover weekend 33 AD, they killed Jesus of Nazareth by nailing Him to a Roman cross. Today, we peel back another layer of the onion of what was really going on that Friday in April, and we are going to see Jesus wasn’t just killed, He was laying down His life. We are going to look primarily at two passages this morning. John 10:11-18, where Jesus explicitly says this, and John 18:1-11 where it becomes crystal clear just what He is doing. Join us on this journey!

Ep. 33 - Jesus Was Killed Jun 01, 2023

Show notes

We are starting a new series today that will get us through the next six weeks are so. And everything we have talked has been leading us to these next few weeks. We’ve asked what was Jesus like? What did He do? What did He teach? And what did He claim? And we’ve seen some pretty amazing stuff. But starting today we are asking, “Why Did He Die?” I’m sure that most listeners know that as a relatively young man, somewhere around Webb and I's age, Jesus’ life was taken from Him. The next few weeks we want to ask, “Why?” What happened? What did it mean? What did it accomplish? I’m sure many people know this already, but Christianity hinges on how we answer these questions. So here’s how we’ll do it. We are going to peel back one layer of the onion at a time. We are going to start toward the surface, and then each week, we will peel back one layer and go deeper into the Bible says so that we really understand what the Bible teaches about Jesus’ death. Here’s what we are going to see in this first week— Jesus didn’t simply die, He was killed. Today, I want us to see why that happened and how that happened.

Ep. 32 - Claims of Jesus Top 10 May 11, 2023

Show notes

What we want to do on today's episode is a little different. Instead of recapping each of these I Am claims, before we move on from this topic of what Jesus claimed, today I want to quickly look at a few other claims that Jesus made in the Gospels. Think of it as like a Bible Caddie Top 10. Our hope is that you wouldn’t view Jesus a good teacher. He’s so much more. So let’s do our Top 10 count down of Jesus’ claims.

Ep. 31 - The True Vine May 04, 2023

Show notes

Today we are looking at the last of Jesus’ I Am statements in the Gospel of John. The last six weeks we’ve been asking, “What did He claim?” We’ve seen so far that Jesus made a number of huge claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Today, in John 15, we come to Jesus’ final I Am Statement, the last of these seven claims in this book. In this passage, Jesus offers His last I am statement by communicating that He is the vine and people are branches. We are to abide in Him and He in us so that as His disciples we might bear fruit for God’s glory and our joy.

Ep. 30 - The Way, the Truth, and the Life Apr 27, 2023

Show notes

We are in week 6 of Jesus’ I Am statements from the Gospel of John. As we aim to get to know Jesus better, we are asking, “What did He claim?” We’ve seen so far that Jesus made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Today, in John 14, we come to probably the most famous of all the I Am Statements. In this passage, Jesus claims to be the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way to the Father. This is comforting and clear. And it demands our belief.

Ep. 29 - The Resurrection and the Life Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

We are four weeks into Jesus’ I Am statements from the Gospel of John. We are trying to get to know Him better, so we are asking, What did He claim? As we’ve seen so far, Jesus made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. Today, in John 11, we come to one of the most shocking claims of all. We’ve got a big chapter, so here is how we will approach it. Instead of reading it all up front, we will take it scene by scene. In a beautiful act of love, Jesus demonstrated His glory through His words, His emotions, and ultimately, through raising Lazarus from the dead, all in order that He might reveal who He is and that many might believe that He is the Resurrection and the Life, the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing have life in His name.

Ep. 28 - The Good Shepherd Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

As we continue to look at Jesus Christ in an effort to get to know Him better, we are a few weeks into our new season asking the question, “What did Jesus claim?” He made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. We’ve already heard Him claim in the Gospel of John that He is the Bread of Life and the Light of the World. Last week, Jesus jumped into a metaphor about shepherds and sheep. He claimed “I am the Door”, the only way into God’s pasture of safety and security and life. This week, we pick up right where we left off in the Gospel of John, in Chapter 10 verse 11 with His fourth I Am statement. In this passage, Jesus claims to be the Good Shepherd, God’s very own representative, even God Himself, who has come to gather His flock. This is only possible because He will laid down His life for His sheep, only to take it up again that He might lead us and care for us for eternity. In short, salvation and life are only ever possible through Him!

Ep. 27 - The Door Apr 06, 2023

Show notes

We are a couple weeks into our news season asking the question, “What did Jesus claim?” He made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. We’ve already looked at a couple of the “I Am” statements from the Gospel of John. Today we turn our attention to the third of those “I Am” Statements which comes in John 10.

Ep. 26 - The Light of the World Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

We are one week into a new season of Bible Caddie, still making it our aim to get to know Jesus. And for the next few weeks we are asking, “What did Jesus claim?” He made a number of enormous claims. Claims that if they’re not true, they’re absurd. And if they are true, they demand our attention and allegiance. The claims we are looking at are Jesus’ “I Am” statements from the Gospel of John— which are some of His most significant. Our hope is that those of you who haven’t made up your mind about Jesus yet would see who He is and trust Him. And that those of you who already believe would be strengthened in your grasp of who Jesus is. Last week, we saw Jesus claim to be the bread of life— the one who provides nourishment and satisfaction and life for His people. Today, we turn our attention to Jesus’ second “I Am” statement. We’ll pick up reading at the end of John 7 and read through the first part of John 8.
