All Authority | The Follow Up - Gospel of John | Week 8

Spring Lake Church

In John chapter 5, Jesus makes one of His most astonishing claims — that God is His Father and that He shares in God’s divine authority. In this conversation, Pastor Bill Van Kirk hosts Pastors Jack Guerra and Garet Meyer for a rich discussion about how Jesus’ words would have been heard by His original audience, what “Son of Man” from Daniel 7 really means, and how the Trinity reveals both unity and distinction within God.

They also reflect on why the Nicene Creed — written over 1,600 years ago — remains a vital declaration of faith for the church today.

🎧 Highlights:

  • Why “My Father” was a radical claim in Jesus’ time
  • Understanding the Son of Man from Daniel 7
  • How the Trinity works without contradiction
  • What “begotten, not created” means
  • Why creeds matter for modern believers
