We blitz through the last 4 parables in Matthew 13 (treasure, pearl, net, new and old treasures) and are challenged by Jesus to properly understand who he really is and our need for him. Afterward, we discuss Jesus's rejection in Nazareth and how that scene corrects catholic doctrine AND the pride of life in all of us. Enjoy and be blessed!

FINALLY, the first of what should be a 4 part series on the transgenderism from a Gospel perspective. This part focuses on showing how God created male and female as distinct categories along with showing that the deeper issue is whether or not you trust God's character is good. I hope this series helps those that struggle with gender identity to fall in love with the real Jesus as well as equip Christians to have these conversations themselves in a productive way. Enjoy and God bless!

As we continue our walk through parables and Matthew 13 we come into the Parable of the Weeds. Jesus puts a spin on the parable of the soils and teaches us about who who intends for his people to be and about what he intends to do about hypocrites in the church when he returns. If the topic of Christian hypocrites hits close to home or you just want clarity on how to read parables then this episode is for you. Be blessed and enjoy!

We return to video format after a VERY LONG time and our study is in the parable of the soils in Matthew. What does the phrase "ears to hear and eyes to see" denote in scripture and what is the relation to this parable? Also, why does Jesus switch to teaching in parables now and what can we learn from it? All this and more, enjoy!

Short episode today, more reactionary as Meredith and myself give our immediate thoughts on the assassination attempt on former President Trump. We share a meditation of the corrosive effects of political influences on the foreign saint. Followers of Jesus, Foreign Saints everywhere, we need to be ready in and out of season. Maintain the foreign nature of your Christian identity and don't yield to any poison or dilution! Be blessed and enjoy!

We are talking demons today on the podcast, their nature and their tactics so that we can properly be on guard against them and false teaching. An example of that false teaching would be the catholic doctrine of Mary being sinless from conception. We also meditate on the bond of family between those that do the Father's will and why it's so important that we make our families and households the kind that encourage obedience to the Father and the Son above all.

What does blasphemy against the Spirit even mean and how is anything unforgiveable if Jesus died and rose? Did Jesus say this to cause anxiety or is this strange passage also somehow mercy in disguise? To complete the menu of mysteries, what is the sign of Jonah and what does a story as strange as Jonah teach me about who Jesus is? Be blessed and enjoy!

On the 35th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre we have a meditation on resisting the influence of the beasts in our world today. Hopefully this is the kind of message that refocuses your heart and soul on what it means to be a foreign saint in this world as we follow Jesus.

Got two stories of grace from the ICU for you guys this week. An overall meditation on the victory of the light of Jesus and what committing ourselves to the Father's work will achieve. In between both stories I take the time to talk scripture and science on recreational marijuana. Be blessed and enjoy!

What is the deal with the Sabbath? Why is it that Christians seem to follow some regulations but ignore the one about the sabbath? To answer that question we have to answer the question of who was Jesus really? The truth will bring you into the spiritual rest of soul that God desires for all people in and through Messiah. Be blessed and enjoy!
