    John 10:22–42 - “Jesus’ Identity, Our Security” (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Who is Jesus? That question stands at the center of John 10:22–42, and the answer changes everything. Jesus declares: “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” — John 10:28 Then He makes the unmistakable statement: “I and the Father are one.” — John 10:30 The religious leaders heard His words, saw His works, and rejected Him. Yet across the Jordan, others considered the testimony about Jesus and believed. Same Jesus. Same identity. Very d

    John 9 — “Spiritual Blindness” (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    A man who had been blind from birth receives his sight. But as John 9 unfolds, we discover that the greater blindness in the chapter isn’t physical at all. The man who could not see begins to recognize Jesus for who He truly is, while the religious leaders who were convinced they could see become increasingly blind to the truth standing right in front of them. That raises an important question for every one of us: Do we have eyes to see who Jesus really is? Spiritual blindness isn’t always cause

    Read excerpt

    Today at First Baptist Church of Hightstown, we were blessed to hear a special message from our Worship Leader, Dr. Chris Peterson , titled “The Power of Worship.” Teaching from Acts 16:1–40 , Chris took us into the story of Paul and Silas and reminded us what can happen when God’s people choose worship even in the middle of hardship. Paul and Silas had been beaten, imprisoned, and placed in chains. Yet at midnight, instead of surrendering to despair, they prayed and sang hymns to God, and the o

    Read excerpt

    📖 John 8:39–59 - Who is your Father? This week on Rooted in God’s Word , we take a powerful look at one of Jesus’ most challenging conversations in the Gospel of John. The people standing before Jesus claimed Abraham as their father. But Jesus challenged them to look deeper—not at their ancestry, religious identity, or what they claimed to believe, but at the condition of their hearts. Who we belong to is revealed by what we love, what we believe, whose voice we listen to, and how we live. Jesus
