Nicodemus' situation and the Samaritan woman's situation were very different. The things they needed were different! Their diagnosis was different! Yet, the Lord was able to meet both their needs! Check out the podcast as we dive into the case study of the Samaritan Woman.

The Nine Case Studies in the Book of John - Case #2 The Samaritan Woman by Christians At UMMC Contrary to Nicodemus, John chose to use the story of the Samaritan Woman to illustrate how God can even meet someone who's stuck in sin. The Lord always knows how to meet each one's need.

As a physician, we often use case studies to show a particular disease process as well as the treatment plan in order to help educate other physicians in case they encounter something similar. In the gospel of John, John took 9 cases to illustrate 9 common problems in man and how the Lord Jesus solves them. Join us for this 9 week series as we approach these 9 cases the same way we would approach it in medicine.

A deeper dive into Luke 15

"Just so, I tell you, there is joy before lthe angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 15:10 by Christians At UMMC A deeper dive into one of the most infamous parables Jesus ever spoke.

The story of the good Samaritan has long been known as a story telling us to help those in need. But, what if that wasn't the main point of the story..

"Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” Luke 10:36 by Christians At UMMC What is the moral of the story of the good Samaritan? I've always thought that it meant, I'm the good Samaritan and I need to go and help those less fortunate than me. What if I say that isn't exactly what the Lord was talking about here...

As Jesus was nearing his time on earth, there were many things he could have talked about. Yet, he talks about a vine and branches and bearing fruit...I wonder what that was about? 🤔

"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 by Christians At UMMC When a man is on his death bed, you can probably assume that his final words are going to be very important to him. He's not going to waste his breath on trivial things, rather he will want to open his heart and speak his final thoughts. When our Lord was about to go to the cross, what was on His he...

In John 12, Jesus starts alluding to His death and resurrection. However, in His speaking, He slips a little parable concerning the grain of wheat. Of course the grain of wheat is talking about Himself, but when you read it carefully, He is implying something very monumental. In fact, in this you can see the other "purpose" of His death and resurrection!

"Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit." John 12:24 by Christians At UMMC Growing up in a christian family, I have to say of all the parables I read in the Bible, I was probably least familiar with this one. After reading a few times and reading also some commentary, I realized how crucial this verse was. What was God implying when He said that if He died, He bears much f...

Why did Jesus speak in parables? Also, why did he often say, "he who has an ear, let him hear?" Didn't every person listening to him have ears? Didn't everyone listen the words that Jesus was saying? Maybe everyone listened, but not everyone heard what he was saying. Parables are actually very significant in Jesus' ministry because through them, He actually spoke what was important to God. It might not help with our boss or our social anxiety, but it was what was on God's heart! That's why in these next few months, we will be getting into some of the most famous and maybe not so famous parables to see what really is on God's heart. Today, we start with Matthew 13, the Parable of the Sower. A very famous parable, but do we actually realize the significance of this story? Check it out and share with your friends!

"Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty" Matthew 13:8 by Christians At UMMC Why did Jesus speak in parables?
