What More Do You Need? | The Follow Up - Gospel of John | Week 12

Spring Lake Church

In this week’s Follow Up episode, Pastors Jack and Arlen dive deeper into John 8 — one of the most theologically dense and debated chapters in the New Testament. They discuss why Jesus says He is “the light of the world,” what it means that He uses the divine name “I AM,” and how to think about faith when people ask for more “proof.”


They also address the famous passage of the woman caught in adultery — why it appears in some Bibles and not others — and why textual transparency actually strengthens rather than weakens our confidence in Scripture.


Other themes include:

• How assumptions distort our view of Jesus

• Why every worldview relies on faith

• How logic and experience work together

• The tension of truth and grace

• Why Jesus’ clarity is actually compassion


This episode offers a grounded, pastoral, and thoughtful exploration of what Jesus claimed about Himself — and what that means for us today.
