The FirstLove Podcast

In our episode this week, we continue to go through Matthew 24, a pivotal and profound chapter in which Jesus talks to His disciples about His return.

It doesn't take much to see that the world is in chaos. We are living in uncertain and unprecedented days and yet Jesus told us that when this happens, not to be afraid.

On this podcast, we continue our discussion about the parable of the rich fool from Luke 12. We see that he was materially blessed and resourceful with what he had, but he failed to use what he had for an eternal purpose that was greater than himself. God calls us to a life lived for others and lived with eternity in mind.

This week we are beginning our discussion on the Rich Fool from Luke 12.It's a short but powerful parable on our eternal priorities.We begin our discussion talking about Jesus' issues with the heart of the Pharisees and the seven things He held against them. This context helps us understand Jesus' audience but also gives opportunity for us to examine our own hearts.

This week's episode is all about the Prodigal Son.

Such a prolific parable that Jesus tells, detailing the youngest sons fall from grace, and how quickly the loving father forgave and restored.

This is the truth about the God we serve, He is slow to anger and abounding in love and mercy, running to restore us back to His love.

When it seems like all hell is breaking loose on earth, Jesus told His disciples to look up, not to worry, or look around, or look down but to look up. Even when things around us seem dark, we have this hope that our Saviour is in control and that He is coming back.

Welcome to our brand new series “Parables - Understanding the Secrets of the Kingdom” where we dive into some of the parables of Jesus - multi-layered and faceted stories that still hold incredible truth and meaning for us today.

The Good Samaritan is one of the most commonly known and loved parables. In this story, Jesus explains who our neighbour is and teaches us how to treat those around us, no matter their race or religion. He shows that compassion and kindness are traits that mark those who love God.

The problem with the church of Laodicea was that they sat comfortably in the middle of their faith. Not too hot, not too cold, but living a luke warm kind of life with self in-mind. Thats the challenge, when we fail to surrender our lives completely, giving Jesus Lordship, we tend to be mediocre and apathetic.

In this episode, our last of the churches, we discuss this epidemic and how this kind of living is still so evident in the church today and how we can ensure that we stay hot and on fire for the Lord.
