Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-chapter by chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

Jesus, God's equal, as we pick up in John chapter 10, verse 22.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck. Now John tells us, and it was at

Jerusalem, the feast of dedication, also known as the Feast of Lights, which took place on the 25th of

December. This feast of dedication was their celebration of the cleansing of the temple by Judas Maccabias,

after it had been profaned by Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syrian leader, or leader of Syria. He was actually Greek. And this was the celebration of that

cleansing again of the temple by this brave warrior. And Jesus was again in Jerusalem and it was

winter, December. And Jesus was again in Jerusalem, and it was winter, December.

And Jesus answered them and said,

I have already told you, but you did not believe.
