John 8:12-59

Whose Your Daddy?

August 15, 2021 • Andy Falleur

In this Bible Study from a Sunday morning at Calvary Fellowship of Ottawa, Pastor Andy Falleur reads from John 8:12-59, where Jesus is in a heated discussion with the Pharisees and Jews in Jerusalem about his origins.
It’s a conversation that Jesus wants to have, and they are asking questions that he wants them to ask. He’s trying to get them to think and to consider not only who He is, but also trying to shake them from their self-delusion.
We can often end up in the same place. Sometimes, we are so familiar with our religion and way of life and we haven’t truly encountered the magnitude of Jesus’s words and mission. He is the light of the world.

John 17:20-26 - High Priestly Prayer - Pt.3 - Jesus Prays For All Believers

May 15, 2022 • John Cowan • John 17:20–26

In His prayer for all believers (“those who will believe in Me through [the disciples’] word”), focuses on Spiritual Unity, Heavenly Hope, and Perfect Love. Many see this as a mandate exhorting believers to work to build unity. It is not. We are exhorted elsewhere to seek unity (i.e. Phil. 2:1-4). But here, Jesus prays that we may be so united with Him - as He is with the Father - that unity in the church will be the natural by-product. Unity in the Body of Christ requires humility and mutual respect. That only comes as we are joined in intimate union with Jesus. How personal is your relationship with Jesus?

Luke 22:42

May 8, 2022 • Andrew Hamilton • Luke 22:42

Have you ever realized that your expectations were different from God's expectations? Have you ever wondered what happened in the history of the Bible from when Israel split into two kingdoms until the time of Christ? This sermon starts with a fictional character who gives a true historical account of those time frame. We see the character, Aaron, unable to align His expectations with Jesus' expectations, even after He has died and rose again. Aaron wants to fight for the freedom of his people, and is determined that the Messiah will too. The sermon then goes to Luke 22 where Jesus is praying at the Mount of Olives and says, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." (Luke 22:42). We are then faced with this question: Are we aligning our will and expectations with the Father, or are we, like Aaron, unwilling to change our expectations?

John 17:6-19 - High Priestly Prayer - Pt.2 - Jesus Prays For His Disciples

May 1, 2022 • John 17:6–19

In verse 3, Jesus gave the essence of salvation - knowing Him. Here He gives 1) More of what it means to trust Jesus: Holding on the God’s Word and Living it out in our lives, 2) The Assurance we have in trusting Him: He keeps us and prays for us, and 3) the Mission we have as believers: As Jesus was sent into the world, so He sends us. To fulfill our calling we need to be in the world, not of it. The challenge is to be in the world without the world getting into us!
