Mark 2:1-2 we see Jesus spending time at a house, and the news of his location spread through town, and the house was packed full with people wanting to see Jesus. What if Jesus showed up at a church this Sunday? Would we recognize Him, would we put down our phones long enough to see the LORD?

Mark 2:1-12, we see the story of a crippled man whose friends brought him to be healed by Jesus. Because of a huge crowd, they could not get to Jesus, but that did not deter his friends. Listen to this episode and see what they did to get their friend to Jesus for healing. Also discover the type of friend we need and need to be.

Today, I ask the question Was There a Fishing 101 class? Let me explain. We’re talking about our lives before and after Christ. Taking off the old life (before) and putting on the new (after). There is no middle ground. Too often, today, we want to plug into a church using our strengths and comfort zones. That is not the way it should be. I look at Peter, and see how he changed once he got his faith in Jesus restored. I haven’t seen anywhere where Peter taught a Fishing 101 class and threw in a few minutes about Jesus. No! We see him preach powerful sermons that moved people to action.

Acts 8:9-25 we read the story of Simon the Sorcerer. He got saved and baptized, then tried to purchase the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, so he could give out the Holy Spirit. He came from a life of magic and sorcery, and many people felt he had power from God. Because of his new found faith, he quickly discovered that his old life cannot coexist with his new life in Christ.

Psalm 126:1-2, this Psalm gives us some tips to help you get your praise on. When was the last time you really praised God? Even more, when was the last time you told others about the good things that God is doing in your life? Why not find someone today to tell about the things God is doing for you.

Selected Verses, in this episode, I focus on reasons why we don’t tell others about Jesus. In John 14:12, Jesus declares that we will do the works He did, and greater works than those. By discovering what the will of God is, we see the works that Jesus wants us to do, and we see how we need to start doing those works.

Romans 8:26-27, if you are like me, sometimes I just don’t know how to pray. I don’t know what to pray for. But, as usual, we have good news in the Bible. Listen and discover what to do when you don’t know what to pray.

John 14:14 Jesus tells us to ask anything in His name and He will give it to us. Is Jesus really giving us a blank check to ask whatever we want? Is Jesus some kind of genie in the sky? No, I believe Jesus is teaching something bigger, something like spiritual maturity. Listen and see what Jesus was really saying here.

John 13:34-35, Jesus is teaching His disciples an important lesson on love. We need to love others in the same way God loves us. Is that what you are doing today?

Mark 8:36-38, Jesus is challenging us with tough teaching for living. What can you or I offer to God in exchange for our souls?
