Sweet Jesus! Less Popular Sayings of The Christ

Among the hardest things Jesus says is this doozy, ...if you brother sins against you seven times... then you must forgive him..." It sounds sweet, but if it was, why do His disciples respond with "Increase our faith!" Forgiveness is a beautiful notion which is nearly impossible for humans to do without divine inspiration. Thankfully we'll get just that from Pastor Alex Valle-Lopez who guides us through this passage from Luke 17.

While it might not seem like a tough thing to say, it's probably because it's so sweetly familiar. But really, this whole passage is difficult to understand, especially for Nicodemus! What does it mean to be "Born again"? We're here to help Nic out thanks to the guidance of Pastor Jason Estle whose ministry is focused on the homeless and addicted. Jason shows us how radical Jesus' words are no matter how ordinary we've tried to make them.

A day late and a drachma short but we finally got this SJ!P ready. This time Jesus sets the records straight on who He considers to be His mother and brothers and sisters! It sure doesn't sound sweet when He trucks His family in front of His followers but it just may turn out to be one of the sweetest things He's ever said.

Looking for some appreciation? Sweet Jesus would give you some, but it might not be the best reason to serve. Another counter cultural message from the Gospel. The delivery is light but the words are heavy once again of this episode of Sweet Jesus!

Not really a parable, but much like those headings in your bible, we don't mind getting it wrong. In this story about how to be a good manager beatings are doled like a vending machine on tilt. I would say Jesus takes leadership in His Church very seriously. Are you worthy... of a beating or worse? There's really isn't anyway to put this in a soft serve with sprinkles on top. Enjoy this bit of the gospel that we bet you've never heard preached ever! If you have, you gotta send us a link!

Jesus loves to bring the party down... if he's partying with pharisees! It's crazy tough to make this Jesus sound syrupy as he commits one party foul after another. From healing on the Sabbath, who should be invited to the party and why they won't get it in, JC takes it to'em the whole way. No rest for the pharisees on this Sabbath! I guess it's ok to party on the Sabbath as long as nobody gets healed.
