In part 2 of this 2 part series of messages, Zane covers (1) the Son of Zebedee, (2) the Genre of John's Gospel, (3) Death Scenes in Ancient Biography, (4) the Death of Jesus the Christ, and (5) Miraculous Signs and Literary Structure.

Instead of viewing John 13-17 as evangelistic, they conclude that Jesus' Last Discourse was written to believers to instruct them on how to live the Chistian life. At the 2008 Grace Evangelical Society National Conference, Zane Hodges demonstrates that Jesus' Last Discourse (Upper Room Discourse) was written for the express purpose of leading people to believe in Jesus for everlasting life.

What is meant in Matthew 5:18 that all the law will be fulfilled till heaven and earth pass away.  The Lord Jesus Christ is teaching us a standard by which we can live, which is nothing more or less than the righteous standard of His coming kingdom.

We have a choice. We can choose either to be victorious by submitting ourselves unto to God and resisting the devil using the Word of God or we can open ourselves up and our pride and self-will to manipulation, deception and...2023-02-2440 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library1 Corinthians 6:18-7:6 - How Committed Are You?We live in a society where sex has been divorced from love and lifelong commitment. In this message, Zane Hodges, a life-long bachelor, answers the following questions from the Bible: 1.Is it ever right to have sex outside of marriage? 2. If you are not sick, is it ever right to refuse sex to your partner in marriage? 3. Is it ever right to say, “Sex is always sinful.”?

(1989), Zane Hodges answers the following questions: What is faith?  What is saving faith?  What is the message that must be believed in order to be saved? What is a disciple? How is being a Christian different from being a disciple?  What is repentance?  What are the basic views of repentance and its connection with salvation?  What is the only book in the New Testament that professes to bring men to salvation?

What is lost when a Chri...2021-06-041h 21Zane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryWhat Is Saving Faith?In this message given at Jansen Bible Church shortly after the publication Absolutely Free! (1989), Zane Hodges answers the following questions: What is Lordship Salvation? Is there any substantive difference between Lordship Salvation and the Free Grace position? Is the difference between Lordship Salvation and Free Grace, just a difference in semantics? What is saving faith? Why does Lordship Salvation need to redefine saving faith? Why is assurance part and parcel with saving faith? After his message, Zane answers various questions on salvation, including: What is the content of saving faith? Passages mentioned include: Revelation 22:17; 1 John 5:9-13; John 3:16...2021-05-181h 13Zane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryRomans Part 3 (Romans 5-8:11) - The Christian LifeIs the Christian life just a matter of resolve and determination to live a holy life? The Christian life is not a do it yourself experience. The Christian life is partnership with the Holy Spirit. We need to turn our attention and turn our interests to the things of God and to the things of His Word. We need to go to the Word to see the Lord Jesus Christ and to see the nature of our relationship to Jesus Christ, but the Holy Spirit must make these things, vital, real, powerful and transforming. When the Holy Spirit shows...2021-05-051h 11Zane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 16:14-18; Romans 3:28-31 - Don't Join the Self-JustifiersWhat is the tallest tale that a man can tell?  I am a good person.  It doesn’t matter how good we look to men, what counts is what God sees on the inside.  Jesus Christ was the only truly good person that ever walked the face of this earth.  If you have convinced someone that you are a good person, you have convinced a dummy. This message was given two weeks after the Dallas Cowboys football team won the Super Bowl.  During the victory parade for the Dallas Cowboys, violence and vandalism broke out.  Note, this message is a partia...2021-03-2129 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 15:11-24 - But the Money Was GoneThere is a very good chance that the prodigal son was a teenager. In the story of the prodigal son, we learn that God is gracious and forgiving, but the days that are wasted will never come back again and the eternal rewards that could have been won have been lost forever.  This message also gives insights on how to raise a prodigal son or a prodigal daughter.  Note, at times the recording quality is poor.2021-03-0435 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 15:8-10; 1 Timothy 3:14-15 - Just Because There Is a NeedThere are three words to remember when looking at the parable of the lost coin: value, diligence and joy. Repentance has nothing to do with the reception of the free gift of eternal life by faith in Jesus Christ. What is the point of repentance? Repentance is the condition for fellowship with God.  Repentance from our sins is the condition for living lives in harmony with Jesus Christ.  If you don’t repent, you are out of fellowship with Jesus Christ your Savior and Lord.  The parable of the lost coin is a story about a Christian who has wande...2021-02-1731 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 14:15-27; Luke 12:31-34 - Don't Lose Your Golden WalletSome Christians are careless with their future wallets in the kingdom of God. When I serve and follow Jesus Christ, I am depositing the valuable treasure of the kingdom into my own account in the bank of heaven. There is no good excuse for not putting Jesus Christ first in your life. When we fail to put Jesus Christ first, that is how we lose our golden wallet. What is wrong with American Christians is that we have too much money. We are too involved in our own affairs and those things take priority over Jesus Christ. Each of...2021-02-1140 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 14:1-14 - Don't Eat the Sour Pickles!As Jesus dines in the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, we learn not to eat the sour pickle of an unmerciful and uncaring spirit, the sour pickle of self-exaltation, and the sour pickle of self-serving kindness. Compassion, humility and unselfish kindness are good at all times and for everything that you do.2021-02-0435 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 13:31-35 - Living in the Shadow of DeathHow does our Lord Jesus Christ react to a threat on His life? Jesus does not give into fear but goes ahead and does what God the Father wants Him to do. Like our Lord Jesus Christ, we need to be willing to take a chance under the guidance of God to get the Gospel to men. We need to be followers of our bold, brave, and compassionate Savior. Other passages mentioned: Psalm 23:4; 2 Kings 21:1-16; Revelation 11:3-10.2021-01-2833 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 13:10-21; Titus 3:4-7 - The Evil Birds Are HereThe ruler of the synagogue who condemns Jesus for healing on the Sabbath reflects a view that the mercy of God is forbidden by the law of God. Our salvation has nothing to do with the law of God or the righteousness of works or surrender or submission. Our salvation is an act of totally undeserved mercy and grace from God. There is no doctrine in Christendom today that is more likely to produce hypocrisy than Lordship Salvation. Lordship Salvation is a problem that strikes at our most fundamental beliefs. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone and...2021-01-2138 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 13:10-17 - Beware of the Burden of BondageSatan has trapped millions under the bondage of addiction. What do those under the bondage of addiction need? They need what the woman who had a spirit of infirmity needed. They need the power of Jesus’ word and the strength that Jesus’ hands alone can impart. The Christian church needs to be the place, where we introduce people to the delivering power of Jesus Christ, to the power that His word can have in their lives and to the strength that His hands can impart.

Are your roots down into the waters of God’s word and bringing forth fruit or are you a barren fig tree just waiting for the judgment of God? Who prays for us, that we may have an extended opportunity to do what is right? Other passages: Luke 13:1-5; Psalm 1:1-3.2021-01-0138 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 12:54-13:5 - America, a Country About to CrashThe weather report for the United States of America is that the storm of God’s judgment lies ahead for this country. What is America’s basic underlying problem?  We, as a country, do not do the right thing. A nation is in big trouble when its people refuse to do and say what is right in the sight of God. Repentance is not a condition for eternal salvation. Repentance is a condition for escaping God’s judgment here on this earth. Unless the sinners of America repent, they could all likewise perish.  Other passages mentioned include: Genesis...2020-12-2937 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 12:40-48 - Big Trouble in God's CourtroomAll born-again Christians will have a day in court that they will not be able to avoid. This day in court has nothing to do with the question of whether a Christian will go to heaven or to hell. When one believes in the Lord Jesus Christ as one’s personal Savior, that person’s destiny in heaven is guaranteed. When Jesus Christ returns, all Christians must stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ. Are you ready for your day in court? The crucial thing about the Judgment Seat of Christ is not how we have been like as Chri...2020-12-1739 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 12:32-40 - Get Ready! Get Set! Go!There are two sides to becoming a king in God’s kingdom.  We do serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but He will also serve us. Those little acts of service that we do and the hardships, frustrations and disappointments that are part of serving God in this life, will be repaid in full by the Lord Jesus Christ, and we who are to await Him as servants will find ourselves being served by our Master. Other passages mentioned: 2 Timothy 2:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-172020-12-0834 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 12:29-34; Revelation 2:26-27 - Beware of the Real Estate RobbersThere are 3 real estate robbers in the kingdom of God, wrong priorities, greedy selfishness and thief of hearts. We all tend to pursue our material necessities first, and to give those things our basic priority. If we do that, then we are no different than the unsaved world around us. We should be different, because our Father in heaven already knows that we need these things. Seek the kingdom of God and all these material needs will be added to you. Why should we seek the kingdom of God? God wants to give His kingdom to us. Who is...2020-11-1837 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 12:1-3; 1 Corinthians 4:5 - There Are No Permanent SecretsThere probably isn’t a person who doesn’t have a few secrets that he wishes could remain buried forever.  Even if you have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ for the free gift of everlasting life and are a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ, the fact is that there are no permanent secrets.  Hypocrisy does not pay, for every secret thing and every secret word will someday be revealed.  Even Christians can fall into the trap of hypocrisy, where we are more concerned about what others think of us than we are concerned about what we really are in the...2020-11-1335 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 11:5-8 - Are You a Persuader?God wants us to regard Him as the kind of heavenly Friend that we can go to in times of emergency at any hour of the day or night.  One the most valuable things we can do, is to cultivate friendship and intimacy with God through prayer. A persuader is a man who knows that he has a generous heavenly Friend, who comes to Jesus Christ for the needs of his friends, and who comes to God in boldness.  Other passage: Hebrews 4:16.2020-11-0934 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 11:1-4 - The Shadow of Almighty GodWhat are the ABCs of effective Christian prayer?  (A) We focus on the name of God. (B) We submit to the purposes of God. (C) We live under the shadow of God. Other passages: Psalm 91:1; Mark 1:35; Luke 6:12.2020-11-0336 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 10:38-42 - You Aren't Listening, Are You?If you think it is bad to lose communication with a partner in marriage, then it is even worse to lose communication with God.  Did you ever stop to think what a tremendous privilege it would be to have Jesus Christ as a guest in your home? That was exactly the opportunity given to two ladies in this passage by the names of Mary and Martha.  When we turn our attention to the Word of God, it ought to be as if God and I are alone in the world.  God must have our undivided attention.  The more you comp...2020-10-2232 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 8:19-25 - Who Am I? Who Is He?A very real spiritual identity crisis often lies at the root of the frustrations and failures that we experience in Christian living. Sometimes under the pressures of life, we forget who Jesus is and what He is like. We forget the greatness of His power, the sufficiency of His strength, the abundance of His mercy and the plenitude of His grace, and Jesus becomes like a stranger.  Jesus Christ has everything we could possibly need or want and yet He is always right there right besides us.  The shortest way to the end of our frustrations, difficulties and perplexities, is...2020-10-1932 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 6:12-19 - Sharpen Your ImitationImitation of our Lord Jesus Christ is one of the secrets of the Christian life.  Jesus through prayer was dependent on God, discerning in His relationships with men, and dynamic in His service to others.  Prayer expresses our dependence upon God, our need for His discernment as we relate to people, and our urgent reliance upon God’s power to work in and through us.  Other passages mentioned: Philippians 4:8; Proverbs 16:7; Luke 6:40.2020-09-1134 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 3:15-20 - Get RealSometimes we get the chance to pretend to be something we are not. John the Baptist had the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to play the role of the Christ of God. What is really important in life? It isn’t you, it isn’t your personal affairs, and it isn’t even the work that you do for God. What is really important in life is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Savior and Lord. Happy is the Christian man and woman who paints Jesus at the very center of the canvas of their lives. Other passag...2020-08-3132 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 2:1-7 - Do I Look Like My Brothers' Brother?For believers, the Lord Jesus Christ is not only our Friend, but also our Brother. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, that is the greatest act of friendship that was ever done. We should be challenged so that we resemble our Brother, the Lord Jesus Christ. Two of the great themes illustrated by the first coming of our Lord Jesus Christ are the themes of submission and humility.  Expressing submission and humility is not something that we naturally do the best, but it is the only way we can resemble Jesus Christ in this world. 2020-08-1637 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryLuke 1:57-66 - What Do the Neighbors See?Elizabeth and Zacharias are obeying the word of God.  They are united by the strongest tie that can bind parents together. They are deeply committed to the will of God for their child, John.  Blessed is the home where God is working and where the neighbors can see it. The only way to be a good neighbor is to have a home filled with the obedience and worship of God and where the mercy of God is magnified before men. Other passages: Psalm 127:3; Luke 1:13-7.2020-08-0240 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 11:1-16 - Have You Stolen Power?Athaliah, the daughter of King Ahab and the mother of the recently deceased King Ahaziah, steals the throne of the kingdom of Judah from the sons of David.  The theft of power is a widespread human sin, that also happens in the Christian church.  However Jehosheba, sister of King Ahaziah, in compassion hides the baby boy Joash, a descendant of King David from Athaliah. When we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for the free gift of eternal life, that gift can never be lost and it is ours forever.  But, when we take power that does not belong to...2020-07-1831 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 10:17-31 - Going Too Far and Not Far EnoughJehu fulfills the word of God, because he destroys the house of Ahab. However, Jehu goes too far in acting deceptively in destroying Baal from Israel. You cannot serve the God of truth by telling lies. Later, Jehu does not go far enough by allowing the golden calves to remain. If we have the nerve to add to the word of God, rules that God has not spoken, then we are dummies, but if we fail to move on matters that God’s word has told us to move on, then that is even dumber. It doesn’t matter how...2020-07-1330 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges LibraryActs 21:27-40, 22:22-29 - Patriotism and the ChristianIn this passage, we see how the apostle Paul values his Roman citizenship.  Is it appropriate for a Christian to be patriotic for his country?  How should patriotism affect us?  What should patriotism lead us to think and do?2020-07-0432 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 9:14-26 - Ignore the Pain and Do It!God’s newly appointed king of Israel, Jehu, ignores the difficulties and pain and focuses on doing the word of God.  Sometimes we know what God wants us to do, but we don’t want to do it because we are afraid of the pain. The solution is that we should ignore the pain and do what the word of God teaches.  Other passages include: Kings 3:1-2; Galatians 6:7; 1 Kings 21.2020-06-2832 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 9:1-13 - Who Made Your Match?Over and over in the northern kingdom of Israel, men have seized the kingship, but now God is going to match the kingship with the man that God has chosen. God wants to match each believer in Jesus Christ with the kind of work that He wants that believer to do. Does God lead us by our feelings? Never once, does the Bible tell us that God leads us by our feelings. The Bible teaches us that God guides us through His word. We do not get to choose our spiritual gift or our ministry for God. Instead, God...2020-06-1733 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 8:1-6 - If You Lose It, Will You Find It Again?In this passage, we see the contrast between Gehazi and the Shunammite woman.  Gehazi’s greed causes him to lose opportunities to serve God, that he will never find again. The Shunammite woman’s obedience to God leads her to recover everything that she has lost.  If you lose it, will you find it again? You will find it again, if you lose it for God.  No loss in service to God or in obedience to God’s word is a real loss, but rather a gain through God’s gracious provision and reward. Other passages: Romans 12:1; Mark 8:35...2020-06-1530 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 7:1-20 - What Do You Want? A Mess or the Message?In God’s miraculous victory over the Syrians, we learn the lesson that it is always dangerous to make light of the word of God or to receive the word of God with proud unbelief. The word of God is the answer to our helplessness, despair and fear. Zane recounts his March 1998 heart attack and the comfort of God’s grace by relying on His word.

People who think that way about the God of the Bible, do not understand the God of the Bible.

We learn that the most important person in this story is not Naaman or even Elisha, but the unnamed slave girl from the land of Israel. God makes Himself known, not to the mighty and the wise and the educated but to those who are childlike in heart.  In this message, Zane also recounts his g...2020-05-2031 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 4:38-41 - Beware of the PoisonThe story of the sons of the prophets and the poisoned stew serves as an illustration, that man’s biggest problem with God’s religion is that man is always poisoning God’s religion by adding to God’s religion.  The antidote to poison stew in our religious experience is an extra dose of the truth of God from the word of God and an extra dose of the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ as He is revealed in the word of God.

In our dealings with our Creator and in our relationship with the living God, God often acts in ways we could never anticipate. When you bring your needs to God, you should bring them in faith and you should be prepared to do what the word of God tells you to do, and you should always expect the unexpected.  Other passages mentioned include: Psalm 103:17; Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:34-44; Luke 9:11-17 ; John 6:5-13; Ephesians 3:20.2020-04-2729 minZane Hodges LibraryZane Hodges Library2 Kings 4:8-17 - I Just Can't Believe ItThe Shunammite woman’s simple and unselfish hospitality towards Elisha the prophet is an example for us.  The Bible commends hospitality.  God never forgets the things we do for Him, even the small things.  If you are living a life of obedience and service to God, prepare to be surprised in how God rewards you for that obedience and service to Him whether in this life or in the life to come.

If we are not loyal people, then chances are good that we need to repair our loyalty in terms of our relationship with God. Loyalty to God, translates into loyalty to His people and to His work.

Although Ahab knew the prophetic word of God, Ahab never submitted himself fully to the authority of God’s word. All of us have made mistakes, but we need to learn from our mistakes.

Zane explains the difference between justification and salvation when used in the book of Romans. Salvation in the book of Romans is not salvation from eternal judgment, but salvation from God’s temporal wrath and deliverance from the depraved and immoral lifestyle around us.
