Peter promised he would follow Jesus anywhere. Just hours later, he denied Him three times. But John isn't simply showing us Peter's failure—he's showing us why Peter, and every one of us, desperately needs a Savior.
In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 18:15-32 and unpack Peter's denial, Jesus' interrogation before the high priest, the injustice surrounding His trial, and why Jesus is ultimately brought before Pontius Pilate.
Along the way, we look at the powerful contrast between Peter's failure and Jesus' faithfulness, the surprising history that shaped Pilate's decisions, and how even the political circumstances surrounding the crucifixion were working toward the fulfillment of God's plan.

When the soldiers come to arrest Jesus, He doesn't run. He steps forward, identifies Himself with the words “I AM,” and the entire group draws back and falls to the ground. What exactly happened, and what does this moment reveal about who Jesus really is?
In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we walk through John 18:1-14 and the betrayal and arrest of Jesus, exploring His “I AM” declaration, Peter cutting off Malchus’ ear, the cup Jesus willingly chooses to drink, and the deeper picture of substitution that runs throughout the passage.
We also look at Jesus as the second Adam and the Good Shepherd: the innocent One willingly stepping forward so the guilty can go free. As the cross approaches, John makes one thing clear—Jesus isn't a helpless victim. He knows exactly what is coming and willingly gives Himself for His people.

What if one of the strangest dreams in the Bible actually gives us a roadmap of world history—and points directly to the Kingdom of Jesus?
In this episode of Bible Bible Bible, we take a detour into Daniel 2 to unpack Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, the four kingdoms represented by the statue, and the mysterious stone that becomes a mountain filling the entire earth. Rather than starting with an end-times system and working backward, we let Daniel’s own interpretation guide the discussion.
We explore the four kingdoms of Daniel 2, why the fourth kingdom points to Rome, what the iron and clay represent, and how the stone “cut without human hands” connects to Jesus and the Kingdom of God. Most importantly, we look at why biblical prophecy should give Christians hope—not fear.
