"I know that His command is everlasting life." Jn 12: 50 When Christian faith becomes unpopular, how do you respond? Doesn't a sweeping rejection of God argue something 'wrong' with God? If 'all the world' rejects Him, shouldn't you reject Him too? Oh, get ready! Here in his final farewell to the 'critic s', Jesus sets the record straight on all that.  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"For still a little time, the light is yet with you. Walk while you have the light." Jn 12: 35 (literal) "A neglected opportunity never returns." So goes an ancient proverb. in our Scripture this morning, our Savior warns us of the same : while you have the light, get going! Get started!! Walk in the light, because darkness is coming, and opportunities do not linger!  Let's learn it well this morning.  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA   From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth For A World In The Grip Of A Lie

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in..." Rev 3: 20 Calvary Bible Teacher Steve Vu explores the beautiful theme that runs all through the Book of Revelation, of our Savior's desire to rescue us and be with us. Message by Steve Vu, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA

"He who loves his life will lose it..." Jn 12: 25 All through the Scriptures, the theme is the same: "we are aliens and pilgrims, our days are as a shadow." 1 Chron 29: 15. "My days are but a hand's breadth, my best state but a vapor." Ps 39:5. Which begs the question then: "What exactly are we clinging to?" Here in our Scripture, Jesus gives us a beautiful answer. Let's take a look... Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA. From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie.

"...she took a round of costly oil and anointed the feet of Jesus..." Jn 12: 3 "The hour is coming when true worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth," Jesus once predicted. (Jn 4:23)  Here in our Scripture this morning it's happening! Mary at the feet of Jesus, pouring out that costly oil! Pouring out her heart! Let's learn from her this morning.  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"He prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation..." Jn 11: 51 There is one thing these 2000 years have taught us all: the voice of God's Truth will not be silenced! God'w wonderful Word has been banished and burned, despised and maligned, and still it speaks forth. What better example than wicked Caiaphas, who was used bu god to proclaim our salvation!  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"Jesus said to them: 'Unbind him, and let him go!'" Jn 11:44 "And death shall have no dominion," is the refrain from one of Dylan Thomas' poems, but--oh!--it's the wishful, desperate refrain of all the human race! Name even one culture that doesn't cry out against this tyranny and its bondage! Praise God! That tyranny and bondage brought our Savior into the world! Let's take a look...

"I AM the Resurrection, and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet he shall live." Jn 11: 25 Ever since the Fall, Man has been in the arena. The enemy confronting him, no man can defeat.

"Lord, look! He whom you love is sick." Jn 11:3 What a treasure in the Scriptures we have here this morning, in this simple prayer of these dear anxious sisters!

"I give them eternal life and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand." Jn 10: 28 Last week we learned about the Shepherd's voice. This week? The Shepherd's 'grip'! And praise God! What a comfort it is, because you are safe in that grip, dear lamb of the flock! Yes, safe forever!  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"Other sheep have I, which are not of this fold. Them also must I bring and they will hear my voice." Jn 10: 16 Let's face it: we live in a world that is noisy with voices: the voices of the atheists, the voices of the skeptics, the voices of the reprobates, the voices of bigotry, greed, self-indulgence and temptation. How on earth will we ever make its through this world? Praise God! By tuning in to the Shepherd's voice. That's how!

"I am the Door If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved." Jn 10:9 "Such ones, for their bellies' sake, creep and intrude and climb into the fold." Good ol' Milton! Never was known to mince his words! (Lycidas line 114). And this morning--more sternly yet!--Jesus warns us: not everyone within the 'fold' has come with good intentions. Only those who used the Door!  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"...but now you say 'We see', therefore your sin remains." Jn 9: 41 We come to the wonderful conclusion of this incident with the man born blind. Have you come to acknowledge that you were 'born blind' to? Oh then there's hope for you! It is the people who think they 'see'--that is: who think they're 'just fine'--who are in trouble.

"They answered him saying: 'You were completely born in sin, and now you are teaching us?'" Jn 9: 34 This morning we return to our story of the man born blind, only to discover that it is not only the eyes of this man that have been miraculously changed: this man is changed all over! Praise God! Get ready! He's going to preach to the Pharisees! He's preaching to the preachers! And fully qualified to do so, too!

"Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?" Jn 9: 2 The most remarkable thing about the Bible is that literally everything you read 'applies', applies to you in power, profound ways. And no other incident in all the Bible applies more than this one does: this story of the man born blind. Let's dig in and start applying now!

"Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Jn 8: 58 This morning as Jesus finishes His encounter with this gathering of any skeptics and critics, we learn the awesome truth: that Jesus Christ is truly God, co-eternal with the Father. He is, in fact, the great I AM. What does that mean for us? Oh, get ready to be blessed. God's Word never fails to do that!  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"...you are of your father the Devil and the desires of your father, you want to do." Jn 8: 44 No passage of Scripture pertains more to our generation than this one. Jesus could have been speaking these words in Times Square! As Americans today, we smugly think that we're okay with God. After all 'We're a Christian nation', aren't we? We're all God's children.' Here Jesus is saying: "You're somebody's children anyway. But as for precisely whose, well, that depends on the 'likeness'."
