Verse by Verse Study on John 1-2 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles to the gospel according to John. The gospel of John was the last of the gospels that were written. It was written towards the close of that first century, written by John, for the purpose of convincing people that Jesus is the Christ, that by believing in Him they might have life in His name. John declares his purpose in writing these books. He said, "Many other things did Jesus which are not written, but these things were written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and by believing have life...
Verse by Verse Study on John 3-4 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Have we got a message for you tonight from the Word of God! John chapter 3 and 4, oh my, how rich! How blessed! There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews (Jhn 3:1). We know a few things about him; we know that he must have been very wealthy, for he came with Joseph of Arimathea to embalm the body of Jesus after the crucifixion. And he brought these costly spices, about a hundred pounds, that only a very wealthy person could afford. A ruler of the Jews means that he...
Verse by Verse Study on John 5 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn in our Bibles to the fifth chapter of the gospel of John. John has just recorded in the fourth chapter the ministry of Jesus in the Galilee when He was at the city of Cana and the nobleman came to Him concerning his son, who was sick. And Jesus spoke the word and some twenty miles distance the Spirit of God did a work and healed the nobleman's son. So after this, that would be after His ministry there in Cana, and the healing of the nobleman's son, There was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to J...
Verse by Verse Study on John 6 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Now we have an indeterminate rate of time. Jesus was in Jerusalem when He was saying these things, they were as a result of this blind man...or the lame man, rather, who was healed there at the pool of Bethesda. And the controversy that was stirred over that. And so John spends a whole chapter in that little picture, but it gives us marvelous insight into Jesus, showing how that He equates His work with the Father and He is working in harmony with the Father. He is actually here doing the Father's work. and the works themselves testify of Him as well as the word of the Old Testa...
Verse by Verse Study on John 7-8 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the seventh chapter of the gospel according to John. After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him (Jhn 7:1). At this point John begins the record of the last six months of Jesus' ministry. And so you'll notice how much time and attention John spends in the last six months of his ministry. Pointing out the fact that Jesus is no longer walking so openly in the area of Judea among the...
Verse by Verse Study on John 9-10 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the gospel according to John, chapter 9. Jesus had been having a dispute with the Pharisees in the temple at the time of the Feast of the Tabernacles, six months or so before the Passover in which He was crucified. And in the eighth chapter it records His conversations with them, with His declaring unto to them, "Before Abraham was I am." And so the last time we saw Jesus they were taking up stones to throw at Him, and He passed by them and left the temple precincts. And as Jesus passed by...
Verse by Verse Study on John 11-12 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... The gospel according to John, chapter 11. Now we remember that John is carefully picking out certain incidents in the life of Jesus by which he might prove that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of the living God, bringing people to a faith in Him, as such, that through that faith they might have the life of Christ imparted to them. And he testifies there were many other things that Jesus did which he did not record, but these he recorded that you might believe. And so John is writing from a slant, trying to encourage faith. At the end of the epistle, he again declared...
Verse by Verse Study on John 13-14 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Let's turn to the thirteenth chapter of the gospel according to John. We have come into a new section of the gospel of John, which carries us through chapter 17. And chapters 13 through 17 cover a period of approximately thirty-six hours or so. Probably more like a twenty-four hour period is covered in these next five chapters. So, this is beginning the night that Jesus was betrayed. And, His prayer in the seventeenth chapter of John is offered sometime prior to the Garden of Gethsemane experience, some twenty-four hours later. So we're actually covering a short period of ...
Verse by Verse Study on John 15 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Tonight let's turn now to John's gospel chapter 15, as we follow Jesus in His last hours prior to the cross. Jesus had been at the last supper with His disciples there in the upper room somewhere in Jerusalem. The fourteenth chapter of John ends with the words, "Arise, let us go hence." So, at that point, they left the upper room. And they began their journey which would ultimately lead them to the Garden of Gethsemane. And whether or not they went through the temple courts or whatever, we don't know. The gospels do not trace the steps of Jesus. I...
Verse by Verse Study on John 16-17 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to John's gospel, chapter 16. Now, these words in the sixteenth chapter have to be understood with the background as Jesus has been in the upper room with His disciples. He has told them as He had the Lord's supper with them that He would not drink of the fruit of the vine until He drank it anew in the kingdom. After supper, He has washed their feet, giving to them an example of what the ministry is all about; it's that of a servant. And then there in the upper room He speaks to them of that beautiful relationship that they would have with th...
Verse by Verse Study on John 18-19 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to John's gospel, chapter 18. Jesus has finished His prayer, which we mentioned last week should properly be entitled the Lord's Prayer. And now, from wherever this prayer was offered, maybe it was on the temple precincts itself, as the temple gates were open all night during the time of Passover so people could come at any time and worship God. But having finished His prayer, He now crosses the Brook Kidron with His disciples that He might go over to a place on the Mount of Olives, where Jesus went often with His disciples into a garden know...

... Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the gospel according to John, chapter 20. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and she saw the stone was taken away from the sepulchre. Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we don't know where they have laid him (Jhn 20:1-2). Now, the other gospels tell us that Mary came with se...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 John 1:1 - 2:11 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn to 1 John. Why did John write this epistle? In chapter one, verse four, he tells us, "These things write we unto that your joy may full." So that you might have the fullness of joy. Do you know that God wants your life to be filled with joy? Peter says that, "Though we haven't seen Jesus, still we love Him. And even though we haven't seen Him yet, yet we rejoice with joy unspeakable or indescribable and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:8). Jesus talked to His disciples about this fullness of...
Verse by Verse Study on 1 John 2:12 - 3:24 (C2000) — Through the Bible (C2000 Series)
... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to I John chapter 2. And we'll begin tonight at verse 12 where we left off last Sunday night. The book of I John is a book of proofs. It isn't what I say; it's what I am. And I can say one thing and do another. What I say doesn't count; what I do is what counts. For if I say that I have no sin, I'm only deceiving myself, and the truth isn't in me. If I say that I have fellowship with God and I am walking in darkness, I'm lying and I'm not telling the truth. If I say I know Him and I don't keep His c...

... Shall we turn now in our Bibles to I John chapter 4. As we go back to verse 24 of chapter 3, the later portion, "Hereby we know that He abides in us by the Spirit which He has given us." I know that God abides in life. How do I know? Because He has given me the Holy Spirit. Paul said, "The Holy Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession" (Ephesians 1:14). We have been sealed, he said, with this Holy Spirit of promise; the seal was God's mark of ow...

... Tonight, we want to look at 2 John and 3 John and the book of Jude, all short little one-chapter epistles. The epistles of 2 John and 3 John were of course, written by the apostle John.

And they would exercise to the churches their gift of prophecy, speaking through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, in the edifying of the churches, in the comforting of the saints, building up the body of Christ.
