Jesus Name News

Discover the true meaning of faith with the Jesus Name News Podcast! Join us as we explore this topic and learn why faith is not just a belief, but an action. Our discussion delves into biblical examples that illustrate the active nature of faith and how it can move mountains, raise the dead, heal the sick, and help us live in the joy of the Lord. However, we also discuss the dangers of doubt and how it can lead to heresy and false doctrine. Tune in now to be inspired to trust in God's promises and live a life of faithfulness. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking discussion!

This week we are coming to the final episode of our series on the Jesus Code! We’ve talked about how Jesus talked in code about the End Times and we’ve looked at Jesus’ coded messages about the lost, now we are going to look at how Jesus spoke about seed and sowing seed. The salvation of the people we come into contact with cannot be up to our actions. We can’t “till” someone’s heart enough or strategize enough that they come to Jesus and are saved because of me. Its because of them, their decision, and the pull of God on their heart. Till the ground. Work it. Do everything you can. But the reality is that the cares of this life and the allure of riches are going to rob us of those who have walked with us for a season. Pray for them anyways. A lack of faith and a closed mind is going to cause some to never hear. Pray for them anyways. Love them anyways. A lack of depth and an inability to withstand persecution and trials is going to take others away. Pray for them, as well. Next week, we will be taking the week off to prepare for our next 8 episode series, "The Fruit of the Spirit!"

Last week we discussed the prodigal and how we need to pause, sometimes, and think about the love of the Father. We need to remember the vast spaces that God’s love can cover. It sounds like a great way to end a parable, right? "Leave it alone, close the book, and call it a day, Jesus." I’m positive that everyone around Jesus was fine with that part of the parable. But, Jesus was not done with this parable. He had one more point to make. This week we’re going to look at that point in the second part of the Parable of the Prodigal Son with the son who stayed in the father’s house.

We all know a the story of The Prodigal Son. Because of that, we often gloss over the meaning and significance of  the story. We tend to desire deeper theological wisdoms and ideas. Yet, there is nothing deeper than the love of God. This week, we pause to talk about the Prodigal - his journey, story, and reasoning. Despite all of it, he still had a father who wanted him - who loved him.
