There's been a marriage...of your two favorite series, Conversations with Dan and Passage Attack.
In this episode, Dan and Jed explore the "Word" in John 1:1-5. What did John intend when he used the word "logos" and how do many English translations skip a few steps when speaking to a modern audience? John was writing to pagans, could reading it the way he was speaking to them help us better appreciate his teaching style?
Scripture References - John 1:1-5, John 20:30-31, John 8:12, John 9, John 3:19, John 8:31
There's a passage in Hebrews that says not everyone should be teachers. Have we missed something or misapplied this passage? Let's explore what the writer of Hebrews was trying to say and how we can better understand these verses. Remember, the Old Testament is so much more than historical accounts. We're also going to explore the importance of looking for and seeing Jesus in the Old Testament.

Scripture References - John 14:26, 1 Timothy 5:17-18,
