Scripture Passage: John 20:19-29

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did Thomas want to be alone after the death of Jesus?

What lesson can we learn from Thomas? Pastor Jarrett says: “Don’t isolate yourself in dark times. We need community the most when we’re discouraged.”

Does anything good happen when you’re alone and discouraged?

Did all the disciples doubt at first? YEP! Did others in Scripture doubt? YEP! Have YOU ever doubted? Probably!

Thomas had seen Jesus perform miracle after miracle. Why did he doubt Jesus could perform one more?

Day 5

Pastor Ed Ethridge continues with the “Never the Same: Encounters with Christ” series this week with his sermon “The Restoration of Peter”. The concept he wants to convey is this: Sin forgiven is sin forgotten.

Find Pastor Ed’s sermon here.

Scripture Passage: John 21:15-19

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why was Peter crucified upside down?

Have you ever messed up? I know I have – every day!

Does God hold grudges?

Even after he messed up, Jesus put Peter in charge of leading the Church. Think about that for a minute. If God can reach others through Peter, who can He reach through YOU? Pastor Ed makes this powerful statement: “The commitment of the shepherd will be reflected in the sheep.”

If God loves us unconditionally, why do we still need to repent?

Scripture References: Matthew 28:20

Scripture Passage: John 21:15-19

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is doctrine still important in today’s society? Absolutely! Pastor Ed reveals a startling statistic about college kids and church…

Why do lambs look at the shepherd AND the sheep?

Pastor Ed shares a story about his own father helping and caring for a friend’s cattle farm…

Did Jesus know that Peter really did love him?

How did Jesus restore Peter?

Why do shepherds move sheep from pasture to pasture?

Some preachers/ministers only preach “be saved be saved be saved”. Is this what the Gospel is all about? Or is there more to learn?

Find Pastor Ed’s sermon here.

Scripture Passage: John 21:15-19

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are you teaching the right doctrine to your kids?

Why does Pastor Ed call Peter “Peter Too Quick”?

What is the responsibility of a pastor/minister of a church? Guess what?! This is YOUR responsibility, too! Every Christian is called to be a shepherd AND a sheep.

Are too many church leaders wishy-washy on the True Gospel? Pastor Ed says this: “Everything else…is secondary other than preaching the truth. That…should be primary in every church across this land. If it were, we might be in a different state than we are right now.” Amen!

Find Pastor Ed’s sermon here.

Scripture Passage: John 21:15-19

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did Jesus refer to his people as “sheep”? Guess what! Sheep aren’t dumb. They are actually pretty smart. They are just stubborn! This makes sense now…

Jesus asked Peter: “Do you love me more than these”? What was Jesus referring to? Was he giving Peter a chance for restoration?

Pastor Ed reminds us that new Christians (lambs) look to older Christians (sheep) for advice and guidance. He encourages everyone to either find a lamb or a sheep to be accountable with.

How are you receiving your spiritual nutrition? Are you just relying on the preacher to feed you? Or are you feeding yourself at home, with friends, and in small groups?

Is being a Christian all about teaching and preaching? Or is it also about loving and caring for others?

Do some religions have a “wrong” doctrine?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did the Pharisees try to defend their position against the blind man and Jesus?

Why didn’t the Pharisees believe the man was blind? Was he born in sin? Yes. So is everyone else! Did the Pharisees miss this point entirely?

Fellowship is important. So is “followship”. Pastor Ed explains…

Worship is also important. Are you truly worshipping God daily?

Are you praying for your family, friends, church, and community? So many are still blind to the Truth of God’s love. So many need their eyes opened. What will you do today to share God’s love with one person?

Find Pastor Ed’s sermon here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did the Pharisees get so upset when Jesus healed the blind man?

Did the Pharisees think the blind man was lying?

The blind man stood alone. His parents left him. His friends left him. The Pharisees called him a liar. Are YOU willing to stand alone when everyone around you leaves?

Who was really blind: the man or the Pharisees?

Did Jesus still love the Pharisees even though he called them out? Pastor Ed believes that too many people, even Christians, think that love is all we need. No, we need to be bold, pointing out sin and hypocrisy when we see it. He says this: “The truth can be right before you and you miss it…There is a boldness of the saved.”

Why did the Pharisees try to defend their position against the blind man and Jesus?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are you afraid to share the Gospel? You are not alone! The important thing is that we are obedient. There are only three responses we will get: yes, no, or leave me alone.

How did Jesus heal the blind man (physically)? Did the mud and water heal him? Or was it his obedience?

Are you living in fear or faith? If you truly believe that God is in charge, you will live in faith!

Why did the Pharisees get so upset when Jesus healed the blind man?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who met the blind man on the road?

What did people believe about illnesses, disease, and deformities (like blindless) in Biblical times? Did some people believe that a baby could sin in the womb? Are we all born sinners?

Was the man blind both physically and spiritually?

Is the world today spiritually blind?

Jesus fulfilled his purpose on earth when he died on the cross. What is your purpose? Are you fulfilling it?

Scripture Passage: John 7:53-8:11

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is grace? What is judgement? Are you guilty of judging others too often? Pastor Jarrett reminds us that we ALL make mistakes. He says: “Grace flows to others when we see our sin. Judgement comes when we only see their sin.”

What did Jesus do in response to the Pharisees charge against the adulterous woman? Do we know what he wrote in the sand?

Bible Fact: Jesus only called a woman “woman” twice: here in this passage and to his own mother at the foot of the cross.

What do you think was going through the woman’s mind when the Pharisees took her to Jesus?

Scripture Passage: John 7:53-8:11

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Have your kids ever tried to pull a fast one on you? This is what the Pharisees were trying to do to Jesus. That isn’t ever going to work!

How is it possible to “catch someone in the act of adultery”? Why was only the woman brough to Jesus? Why not the man, too? Where were the witnesses? Why not take the woman to the council instead of Jesus?

Pastor Jarrett takes a few moments in this segment to bring attention to the mentality of the adulterous woman. What was she thinking? Was she worried? Nervous? Had the Pharisees set her up? What was her background? Why did she commit adultery in the first place?

Scripture Passage: John 7:53-8:11

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Did you know that the earliest manuscripts of the Bible do not include this passage/story? Scholars debate that John actually even told the story! Where should it be placed? Was it even true? Did it contradict the character of Jesus? Pastor Jarrett quotes Greek scholar Bruce Metzger.

Why was Jesus unpopular among the leaders of the day? Why did they hate him? Were they jealous? Were they willing to do anything to make Jesus go away? Did they try to trap/trick Jesus by bringing the adulterous woman to him?

NOTE: Pastor Jarrett recommends reading “The Reliability of Bible Manuscripts”. He also preached a sermon once entitled “Textural Criticism: Manuscript Authority”. You can request a copy of that sermon by emailing Pastor Jarrett at pastor@cfbc.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What does “worship” mean?

Pastor Ed urges those who have not been back to church during the last year to go to church this Sunday! Wear a mask. Don’t wear a mask. Social distance. Don’t social distance. Find a church and go! Fellowship with others is so important to our spiritual walk with Christ.

When was the last time you NEEDED Jesus? We should need him 24/7!

Verse 26: “Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.” Did you know that the original text does not include the word “he”? Pastor Ed explains why…

How many times does Jesus say “I Am” in the New Testament?

Why did the woman leave her water pot at the well when she went back to tell the people about Jesus?

Is your heart and mind occupied with Jesus?

What is God’s anger? How many times is it mentioned in Scripture? What about God’s wrath? What about his love?

Scripture Passage: John 3:1-15

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is it necessary to ask forgiveness every time you sin?

God doesn’t have to save us from anything. So why does He?

Can you manage your sins on your own? Nope! Pastor Ed shares a personal story from his teenage years…

REMEMBER: Nicodemus was a religious and educated man. He knew the law. Why did he ask Jesus what it meant to be born in the Spirit? Pastor Ed points out that Jesus’ response was actually kind of funny. Listen close…

Day 2

Pastor Ed Ethridge begins a new sermon series entitled “Never the Same: Encounters with Christ”.

Find Pastor Ed’s sermon here.

Scripture Passage: John 3:1-15

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What condition did Jesus give to Nicodemus when he answered “truly, truly I say to you…”?

Where does salvation come from? Does it come from multiple places? Can we obtain salvation in more than one way? Can we work our way into heaven?

REMEMBER: Nicodemus was a religious and educated man. He knew the law. Why did he ask Jesus to clarify “being born again”?

How did Jesus confirm his answer to Nicodemus?

In verse 5 of this passage, Jesus said “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit.” Why does this verse cause so much controversy?

Scripture References: John 14:6; Ephesians 5:25b

Scripture Passage: John 3:1-15

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Did you know that Benjamin Franklin was an avid letter writer? He received many letters from people all over the world. Pastor Ed reads a portion of a letter from the preacher George Whitfield.

Are too many people aware of the true Gospel, but fail to follow the true Gospel?

How should we pursue God? Are you in pursuit of God?

Did Nicodemus realize that Jesus was no ordinary man? Is this why he questioned him?
