Week 06 - Punishment and Justice and a God who Loves (2015)

In 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. Among many other things, we also discuss some final thoughts on justice, punishment and love, and how they are all connected in the hands of a God that love us dearly.

The class will continue in 2016. We will move forward from John’s prologue into the rest of the book. Thank you for listening, and please feel free to use the email on this blog if you have any questions regarding the class.

Week 05 - Children of God (2015)

In this week’s class, we continue to look at John’s prologue. After we recap the previous class’s examination of glory, we examine the challenging translation of verses 12-13 from the Greek. We see how much is gained by the translation of one word. And finally, we read and discuss some unspoken sermons by George MacDonald.

Week 04 - Glory (2015)

In 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.
