In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

In the days of Jesus and for some time beyond, the Jews did not really fathom the reality that God had an equal intention of drawing Gentiles to faith just as He did to to them. Even the disciples, as we will see in this episode, didn't fully understand the eventual unity that Jesus would initiate between believing Jews and believing Gentiles through His death and resurrection. We will explore what Jesus Himself said about this during the Feast, and how this was part of the purposeful plan of God in redeeming His people.

59:34

In this episode, we talk about the triumphal entry as recorded in John 12 and the external attitude of the people who gathered around Jesus to welcome Him into Jerusalem. While there seemed to be an acknowledgement of His Messiahship and His position as king, is the praise that the people exhibited something that can be taken at face value? We will explore this question, as well as the significance of this event as it relates to the fulfillment of Scripture.

After Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, some people who witnessed the miracle believed in Him; yet others still continued to persist in unbelief. In this episode, we talk about how this persistent rebellion and unbelief leads to a finalized plot to kill Jesus, and how it also leads to a prophecy being spoken through the mouth of Caiaphas, an unbeliever. How are we to understand that?

In this episode, we talk about the emotional display of Jesus Christ, as He is moved by the weeping and mourning of those people who were grieving Lazarus' death. What do those emotions tell us about our Savior, especially given the fact that He is going to raise Lazarus from the dead?

In this episode, we talk about how Jesus, in the midst of a situation where people are seeking to kill Him, shows them how He can legitimately make claims to being God and how they have no rightful reason to want to stone Him. We also talk about the opposite reaction from people who surrounded Jesus after He escaped stoning, who believe in Him. What can account for the different responses from these two groups of people?

Can a Christian lose their salvation? While there are beliefs on both sides of the issue, John 10 makes clear that the true believer (Christ's sheep) is fully protected in the hand of God. Why can we be so confident in such security? We answer that question and address other things in this episode as we continue our study of John.
