Send us Fan Mail You can spend your whole life telling yourself, “If God would just give me one undeniable sign, I’d believe.” John 12 tells a harder story: people who had Scripture, public teaching, and even a man raised from the dead still refused Jesus. So we slow down at John 12:44-50, the fina…
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever read “God hardened their hearts” and felt your stomach drop, you’re not alone. We sit in the tension of John 12:37–43 where the crowd watches extraordinary signs from Jesus, yet John says they not only do not believe, they cannot believe. That single line forces a de…
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “If God already chose who He will save, then my choice doesn’t really matter,” you’re not alone and you’re not the first. We take that pressure point head-on and open John 12:34–36, where a confused crowd presses Jesus with sharp questions a…
Send us Fan Mail “I will draw all people to myself” sounds simple until you try to define “all.” That’s where we start, with John 12:32 and the question many of us either avoid or fight over: does Jesus draw everyone to salvation, draw some, or only make salvation possible if we choose it?  I keep …
Send us Fan Mail You can be standing in the middle of God’s work and still have no idea what He is doing. That’s not a character flaw, and John 12 proves it. As we walk through John 12:12-19, we watch Palm Sunday unfold with palm branches, Scripture-soaked shouts, and a King who chooses a donkey in…
Send us Fan Mail Why do you come to Jesus? Not the church answer. Not the answer you were taught to say. The real one that shows up in your life once the sermon ends and the week begins.We open John 11:55 through John 12:11 and watch a room fill with very different motives around the same Savior. A…
Send us Fan Mail A dead man walks out of a tomb, and the most startling detail is that Jesus is still visibly grieving while he does it. We sit in John 11:38–54 at the exact moment this three-part series has been moving toward, and we face the question behind the question: if God is love, what does…
Send us Fan Mail Grief doesn’t wait for a convenient time, and neither do the questions it brings. When tragedy hits, we instinctively ask: If God is love, why does He allow suffering, and if God is sovereign, how can evil exist without making Him its author? Pastor Harry Behrens keeps those questi…
Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever prayed for God to step in and felt the silence stretch on, John 11 can feel almost unbearable. Jesus hears that Lazarus, His dear friend, is dying. He loves Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. He has the power to heal. And He still waits. That one detail forces a question man…
