Jase is shocked to hear a Phil Robertson quote hidden inside “Project Hail Mary,” a Hollywood space movie full of surprising echoes of grace, sacrifice, and saving the world. Jase looks back on a chaotic season mentoring troubled kids and setting firm boundaries for parents whose pressure and dysfunction were spilling onto the next generation. The guys connect both stories to the Sermon on the Mount, the book of James, mercy, humility, trials, and the way God breaks generational cycles by rebuilding people from the inside out.

In this episode: Matthew 5, verses 3–12; Psalm 37; James 1; Revelation 20–21; John; Matthew 6, verse 10

Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Hebrews 11:28

The Passover is a Jewish tradition that should be interwoven with our celebration of Easter. We as Christians have reason to celebrate Passover because it prophecies our redeeming faith in Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 11:28 says, “By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.”

The Passover was first introduced in the Book of Exodus. The Israelites sacrificed lambs and painted blood on their doorposts. The sacrificial lambs had to be spotless in order to cause the death angel to pass over their homes.

After the lambs were sacrificed, the families shared them, celebrating their atonement.

Through this tradition, God taught His people one of the fundamental truths of His Word: without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.

The Passover displays the prophetic anticipation of Calvary’s sacrifice. Jesus is the sacrificial lamb without spot or blemish. When we receive His saving power of salvation, we are nourished by Him. Further, we are called to share the feast with others.

The Passover reminds us of the promised consummation of Calvary’s sacrifice.

In the final week of His life, Jesus was examined and questioned by the religious leaders. This process mimicked how a Passover lamb was inspected. They could find no fault in Him, confirming to us that He was the promised one.

John 1:29 confirms this promise: “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’”

Finally, Passover calls for the perpetual celebration of Calvary’s sacrifice. 1 Corinthians 5:7 says, “Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.”

No longer do we recognize Passover to obtain redemption. As Christians, we celebrate Passover through the Lord’s Supper, to remember our redemption through Jesus Christ.

Adrian Rogers says, “In the Old Testament, they put the blood upon the doorposts. In the New Testament, we confess Christ openly as our Savior.”



Apply it to your life
Do you possess a redeeming faith in Jesus Christ, the spotless, sacrificial lamb of God? Share the feast with others today; celebrate what He has done. Openly declare your faith as the Israelites did when they painted their doorposts for all to see.

Our spiritual adversary has been at war with believers for a long time. Thousands of years, in fact. He knows how to trip us up . . . and sadly, admittedly, he’s pretty good at it. So how do we stand strong? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points us to the battle-tested truth of God’s Word. The good news? We’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from victory. God has already won, and He’s equipped us to stand our ground.

When we pack for a vacation or trip to a different place, it’s important to bring the right kind of stuff. If you're going to Tahiti, you'll want to pack more shorts, light-colored clothes, and swim gear! If you’re going to the snowy mountains, then lots and lots of layers will fill your suitcase.

But what about the place we'll all go if we trust in Jesus—what do we bring on our trip to Heaven? Tune in now to see how we should be preparing for Heaven.

Notes:

Luke 17
  
Heaven is every Christian’s eternal destination.
 
Philippians 3:18–21 (NLT)
 
Luke 17: 11–19 (NKJV)
 
Pack Gratitude
 
Gratitude matters to Jesus.
 
The ten lepers were healed of the worst disease they ever could’ve contracted.
 
All ten lepers were healed, but only one returned to Jesus to thank Him.
 
When God answers our prayers, we need to come back and say, “Thank you, Lord, for what you did!”
 
Gratitude is a spiritual discipline that keeps you oriented toward God, rather than toward what God gives you.
 
1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 (NLT)

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is the will of God.
 
We are told to be thankful in all circumstances.
 
All miracles were created by God to point to the greatest miracle.

2 Corinthians 5:20–21 (NLT)

The greatest miracle is that Jesus, who never sinned, was the offering for our sin, so we could be made right with God.
 
All the lepers had faith in Jesus to heal.

Only one had faith that resulted in trust, gratitude, humility, love, praise, and worship.
 
Luke 17:20–37 (NKJV)
 
Pack Light
 
Spiritually, we pick up all kinds of baggage that we don’t want to bring with us to heaven.
 
The Pharisees failed to understand because they were spiritually blind.
 
What are you willing to leave behind?
 
Luke 17:32 (NKJV)
 
Luke 17:33 (NKJV)
 
You cannot hold onto your old life and your new life simultaneously.
You have to decide which one you are actually living for.
 
Those who are the most heavenly-minded do the most earthly good.
 
The King of Heaven Himself came down and paid your way.
 
Remember Lot’s wife.
She almost made it.
Don’t almost make it.
