Week 05 - Glory (2017)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - March 08, 2017 05:22 ★★★★★ - 4 ratings“Since God is a community of persons in selfless, abiding communion/relationship, God’s glory is always love-motivated and others-focused. It is not utilitarian, that is, never a means to the end of God’s self-glorification. God’s glory is the essence of his being, which is: the relationship of F...
Week 04 - The Importance of the Incarnation (2017)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - February 23, 2017 07:08 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsThe importance of the Incarnation can not be overlooked. Literally translated as the "in-flesh-ment", we look to the incarnation as the moment God becomes one of us. As we read through John 1:14, we examine the importance of the Word becoming flesh. What does John mean by "flesh"? What does John ...
Week 03 - Exousia (2017)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - February 16, 2017 07:03 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsWhy does John use the word “Word” (logos), at the beginning, as a metaphor for God, but then drop it? The reason can be found in the words function. Much like John uses "sign" for miracles, its the function of the word that makes the difference. Also, what is the mission of the Word in John's st...

Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - March 02, 2016 05:53 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsAs we approach the very intimate Upper Room Discourse between Jesus and his disciples (Chapters 13-17), we look at a few interactions Jesus has with the people and the pharisees in the chapters leading up to it.

Week 11 - John 6 (2016)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - February 23, 2016 18:08 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsAfter feeding of the five-thousand, Jesus walks on the water and speaks to the people saying "I am the bread of life". Jesus begins to get opposition from the religious leaders and his own followers. The conversations you'll see from ch. 6 on are no longer between Jesus and individuals around h...
Week 10 - Healing at the Pool (2016)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - February 17, 2016 06:09 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsWhen Jesus visits the healing pool, John shows us Jesus's third miracle, or as John likes to call them, signs. John calls miracles signs because they point to something. So as we look at this miracle, we have to ask ourselves, "What is this pointing to?" In the narrative, we look at three key i...
Week 09 - Jesus Talks to the Samaritan Woman (2016)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - February 10, 2016 05:32 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsWe skip past all of ch. 3 and move right into Jesus's conversation with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.

Week 08 - Jesus Clears the Temple (2016)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - February 03, 2016 05:31 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsAs we work our way through the Gospel of John, we look at the second half of Ch. 2 where Jesus clears the temple courts. When Jesus turns over the tables, we need to remember who Jesus is and what he knows about the people that He's talking to. Is this just a story of God being justifiably angry?...
Week 07 - The Wedding in Cana (2016)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - January 27, 2016 07:07 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsIn the first six weeks of this class (Part 1), we focused primarily on John’s Prologue (1:1-18). As was mentioned in one of the earlier classes, the Prologue was like a pair of glasses that John is asking you to view the narrative through. So as we move forward in the next eight weeks or so (Part...
Week 06 - Punishment and Justice and a God who Loves (2015)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - November 25, 2015 07:18 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsIn this week’s class, our last of the session, we take a quick look at Jesus on the cross, and explore the Father-Son relationship within the being of God, and the implications of this relationship while Christ is on the cross.

Week 05 - Children of God (2015)

Week 04 - Glory (2015)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - November 04, 2015 06:39 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsIn this week’s class, we discover what John says about glory. We look at the Westminster Catechism’s definition of God and see what they may have missed. And we end with seeing how glory and relationship are connected.
Week 03 - The Word Became Flesh (2015)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - October 28, 2015 04:57 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsIn this week’s class, we examine John 1:14. We discuss why John uses the word “Word” to describe the son of God before he became flesh. We also learn the importance of and meaning behind the words “flesh” and “became”. This is the incarnation of Christ.
Week 02 - The Importance of John 17 (2015)
Radical Relationship - Gospel of John - October 21, 2015 06:58 ★★★★★ - 4 ratingsIn this week's class, we explore why John 17 is so important. The fact that John stops narrating when we get to ch 17, is a huge deal. No editorial comments in jesus’ prayer. None before, during, or after. The big deal is that John is trying to clue us in to something. It's a departure from his n...
