The time has come for Jesus to accomplish what the Father sent Him to do. Jesus has prepared His disciples for this moment, as well as Himself in prayer, and now He is arrested, crucified, and raised from the dead. In this episode we simply read from the text to observe what's unique and important about John's presentation of these events.

Today we're joined by a special guest, Katie Philippi from Casey, Illinois. In this interview Katie shares with us her "why" for Bible study and how it has developed through the years to where she is now. She also shows us how people influence us and impact our growth toward maturity in Christ, and the challenge of pushing through the daily grind to prioritize time with God's word.

Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer before going to the cross. While the other gospels record His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, John focuses on Jesus' prayer after the Last Supper with the apostles. This is Jesus' longest recorded prayer, and it teaches us incredible lessons about His glory, the apostles' work, and His desire for us even today.

Throughout John 14-16 Jesus tells the apostles the Holy Spirit will come as their helper and counselor. He also tells them to not fear the future, for "I have conquered the world." Why did the apostles need this instruction and comfort? How was it fulfilled in their lives, and how does it relate to us today?

After taking a lengthy break, let's review and re-sharpen our Bible study skills as we Observe, Interpret, and Apply Genesis 6-9. We'll work through these chapters one step at a time, working from simple observations about the text to direct application connections that the New Testament makes from Noah's life. The flood narrative teaches us much about sin through humanity's rebellion, about faith through Noah's obedience, and about salvation through God's grace.

In Romans 7:14-25 Paul describes an inner conflict with sin, one in which he wants to do right but is unable to do so. This passage may seem straight-forward enough on the surface, as we all can relate to this inward battle. But read in context with the rest of Romans, big question emerge. Why does Paul say he is enslaved to sin? What is he saying about the "law"? Is he describing his experience before or after becoming a Christian. Hal Hammons joins us for a round-table to tackle these questions.

"I am the vine and you are the branches." Jesus describes Himself in a way that helps us see our complete dependence on Him - we must abide in Him if we are to bear fruit. However, this isn't the only relationship that's important. Jesus also addresses His disciples' relationship of love to fellow disciples, as well as the necessary separation between His people and the world of evil and sin. Each of these three relationships have enormous implications for how we live!

What did Jesus mean when He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life"? And what does it mean that Jesus is "in the Father" and "the Father is in" Him? Jesus spoke all these things to the apostles at a time when they were troubled and in need of comfort, and these same truths are the basis for our assurance of faith today.

It's no coincidence that the very first lesson Jesus taught His disciples during this final conversation was to love one another. Indeed, His whole life was about not only teaching but demonstrating this principle. What Jesus did to show what humility and self-sacrifice looked like was so shocking that even Peter was offended! But it's precisely the kind of love Jesus calls every disciples to imitate.
