Mid-Week Connection: December 2008
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2008. 1/11/09 The Baptist's Testimonies. In John's Gospel we are reminded quite forcefully that John the Baptist is not the light and that Jesus is far above John even before Jesus' name is mentioned. Nothing of John's minister is reported, only his testimony concerning Jesus. When John sees Jesus approaching, he recognizes him immediately and says, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! How does the Baptist figure in the mission of Jesus? Advent is marke...

Mid-Week Connection: April 2009
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 25, 2009. Feeding the Five Thousand. Feeding the Five Thousand. This event happens by the Sea of Galilee during Passover. Jesus feeds the physical hungers of the crowds, and yet he does more than that. He points beyond the bread to the Bread. Jesus meets with opposition because he identifies himself. With God instead of with Moses. The. Jews are offended when he calls himself. The bread they should eat. Eating flesh and drinking blood violated. The crowds, impressed by Jesus' miracles fai...

Mid-Week Connection: Witnesses to Jesus
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2009/04/witnesses-to-jesus.html
Monday, April 20, 2009. In these verses Jesus speaks of a number of witnesses who bear testimony to him. Who are these witnesses who confirm that Jesus has come from God? They are John the Baptist, Moses, the Scriptures, Jesus' works, and God. These. Are witnesses the people can believe. Why did not more of the people believe? Many accepted these witnesses and even venerated them, but "intellectual agreement" was the extent of their "belief.". At the top of things - some would. Stock in it: "I do not rec...

Mid-Week Connection: What Befits the Sabbath?
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-befits-sabbath.html
Sunday, March 22, 2009. What Befits the Sabbath? Jesus plunges into the most desperate situation, a situation from which hope seems to haee departed. Why does John's story concentrates on the one lame man? He wants to make clear the power of God in the situation! Sin no more, that nothing worse befall you." Jesus bids the man to avoid the greater enemy -sinThe religious people shouild be asking, What goes on here? What is more important - a man's restoration to health or the observance of secondary rules?

Mid-Week Connection: May 2009
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. The Words of Eternal Life. Jesus Walks on the Water (verses 16-21). The People Seek Jesus (verses 22-24). Jesus the Bread of Life (verses 25-59). The Words of Eternal Life (verses 60-71). What does Jesus say to his frightened disciples when they see him walking on the water? Jesus says, "It is I; do not be afraid.". Or do we worship the Christ of the Prologue to John's Gospel? Have modern Christians lost the sense of awe? If so, how can we reclaim that sense of awe? 6:28) They have...

Mid-Week Connection: The Tremendous Claims
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2009/03/tremendous-claims.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. The Authority of the Son. In John, 5:19-29, Jesus reaffirms his oneness with God. For Jesus to speak of himself as the Messiah took extraordinary and unique courage; for he knew that his words were considered blasphemy by the orthodox Jewish leaders, Jesus' statements could only divide the Jews, for Jesus' position mean that people must accept Jesus for what he said he was or reject himas a blasphemer.

Mid-Week Connection: June 2009
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 3, 2009. In his letters Paul discussed faith as the human response to God’s saving act in Christ. A key verse in Paul’s extensive discussion of faith is Romans 1:17: “For in it [the gospel] the righteousness of God is revealed through faith for faith; as it is written, “He who through faith is righteous shall live.’”. A new mind, a new will, and a new existence altered by the love of Christ. We should we believe in Jesus? Healing, suffering, and dying because this is the way.

Mid-Week Connection: February 2009
http://midweekconnection.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. 2/22/09 Jesus the Savior of the World. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life (3:16)". What does the Bible say? 1 What does Nicodemus say first to Jesus? He compliments Jesus as a teacher who has come from God and says no one can do Jesus' signs unless God is with him. 2 What does Nicodemus find hard to believe about Jesus' answer? 3 What is the heart of Jesus' message to Nicodemus? Nicodemus, ...
