In this episode, we look at the folded napkin, head wrap, that Jesus left folded in the tomb after He was resurrected. We look at the incredible significance of this seemingly little easily overlooked detail. We then look at how the folded napkin calls for us to get prepared and be ready for the second coming of Christ. We look at the importance of the Word of God and the anointing of the Holy Spirit in our preparation and we look at how we can not only get ready but stay ready!

In this episode we look at why God chose a donkey when Jesus was preparing to enter the city of Jerusalem. We look at what a donkey would mean to those living in that culture and day. We also look at how the donkey fulfilled the prophecy given by Zechariah. We then look through the different reasons that God chose that donkey specifically and what we can learn from those reasons. If Solomon says we can learn from ants and Jesus tells us to learn from the birds, we should be willing to learn from a donkey too, and we have a lot to learn from this one. We're called to embrace our mission and be faithful in the fulfilling in it, just like this donkey. We'll be trained by the Holy Spirit, loosed by Him and led by Him to exactly where He desires for us to be!

In this episode, we look at how we walk worthy of our calling. We first look at what it truly means to walk worthy of our calling and what parts of our life are going to have to be built up for us to do so. We then look at what different elements Paul gives us for walking worthily. First we look at humility, then we look at meekness, then long-suffering, then forbearing one another in love and lastly staying united in the Spirit, keeping the bond of peace. God gives us everything we need to be able to walk worthy of the calling, we simply need to take Him at His Word and act in faith! 

In this episode, we look at the ways in which we’re all called to minister. Many think if they don’t have a specific title or position then they’re not a minister but that’s not true. We all are. There’s so many ways we can be a blessing to those who need help. We can comfort, encourage, teach, pray for others and so much more. God is our Helper, He’s an ever present help in our time of need and it’s our responsibility to reflect His help to those around us who need it. Let’s start walking in our ministry today!

In this episode, we look at the importance of rest. We look at how the Lord told His disciples to come apart and rest. We look at why we resist the need to rest so often. The Lord knew the disciples needed rest after what they'd been through and He knows that we need rest too, which is why He established rest as part of His will. We look at how we can get past the fear of not being productive enough and how resting in Jesus actually makes us more productive when we yoke ourselves together with Him. We then look at the dangers of yoking ourselves to the wrong people, the wrong entities and wrong ideologies. We go throughout scripture to see the pattern of rest and Sabbath that God established and how we have a responsibility to follow His command to rest in Him and yoke ourselves to Him in our work.

In this episode, we look at how we can deal with and process the bad times we go through in life. We look at why we have times of sorrow and what we can do with that sorrow so that we become stronger. We look at the need to not give up even though the temptation to do so is strong. We have to keep our hope in Jesus and as we do we’ll be able to go to the God who specializes in exchange to take our sorrow away and give us joy u speakable and full of glory in its place! 

In this episode, we look at when the Lord called Moses. We look at what the Lord asked him, What is that in your hand? He was asking him what He had right then, in the present moment. We analyze the connection that that has to today and how the Lord is asking us the same thing today in respect to our calling. We also look at why the Lord asked him about his rod specifically and the significance that his rod had. We then look at what he did with the rod and why God did with it. God wants to use us to do extraordinary things for Him if only we’ll surrender and make the decision to walk worthy of our calling!

In this episode we look at when the early church was praying for the release of Peter from prison. We see how they did the right thing in praying and in doing so continually and with urgency but then we see how although they were in the same place physically they weren’t all together in spirit and in faith. There was division and that division led to them not believing the answer when Rhoda announced it to them. They even called her crazy. We see how God worked amongst them and how in the end they were all unified together by the Spirit of God.

In this episode, we look at when the disciples asked the Lord to increase their faith. We look at why so many times it feels like our faith simply isn’t enough. We look at how the problem isn’t that we need more faith but that we need to use our faith. Faith is like a muscle, the more you use and exercise it, pushing it past its limits, the stronger it grows. We look at the difference having increased faith makes in both our life and in the church and why it’s so important that we trust God, take Him at His Word and take the leap of faith! 

In this episode, we look at the man sitting by the pool of Bethesda waiting for the waters to be troubled. He’d been sick for 38 years. He was paralyzed and unable to move. We see how he was putting his faith in man and man’s ability to get him into the waters rather than putting his faith in God for his healing. We look at how many times people don’t want to be healed and we analyze why exactly that is. We also look at how the man answered Jesus’ question with an evasive answer, not really answering it and we look at what that reveals about him. God wants to heal us in every area of life, no matter what’s afflicting us but we have to be willing to receive His healing work in our life and we have to give Him the glory for it.
