Two topics today: First, John the Baptist calls people to 'produce the fruit of repentance." We discuss what that means, and how repentance is an action that moves away from one thing and towards another. We also grapple with how it could be possible to find any sort of joy in the midst of the hardest trials.
Two questions today: First: Who was the first named person to share Jesus with other people? The name might just surprise you. Second: Was Jesus raised in a Christian family? The question might seem a bit silly, but the answer points to a profound aspect of Jesus that some forget.
Today we discover the dangers of a "bitter root" growing up among the people of God, and that this metaphorical bitter root probably isn't at all what we think it is. We also focus on the key to continuing to follow God and be faithful through hard times - how we can run the 'race' well.
The Bible teaches that a Christian's first nationality is not his country of origin, but his country of destination - Heaven. What implications are there to Christians being strangers and exiles on earth?
We continue discussing the massive importance of the blood of Jesus today. Why is blood so important in both the Old and New Testaments. Also: Should Christians 'plead the blood of Jesus' in prayer, or is this some kind of superstition?
