The Truth Of The Matter Is

Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series we move on to Matthew chapter 11. I found myself completely stopping at verse 1 and it reads: When Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities. At first It seemed like such a basic sentence it's time to move on but because we just had finished chapter 10 before eventually moving on to chapter 11 verse 1 really sums up what Jesus did in Matthew 10. When you read verse 1 Jesus for something he gave instruction and followed up leading by example. Pretty much doing what He sent his disciples to do. Tune in to understand why I think this observation is such a big deal to me and if you overlook it you're missing something profound.

 Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series After my Conversation with Paul Granger I wanted to do a quick review of Matthew of 10:35-36. Explaining the value of having someone who is a father a parent to give experience perspective. Sometimes ideas are helpful when you are making suggestions, however there comes a time when you operate in between the hypothetical and the reality and I believe more people will benefit from the reality. Finishing up with Matthew 10 was an honor as we dive into what it means to be Worthy of Jesus Christ.What is required of a believer to be worthy? Tune in if you want to take in consideration of these suggestions.

Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series I thought that it would be a great idea to change things up a bit, so I  invited an old friend to the Gospel of Matthews series to have an intentional conversation. The truth of the matter is... sometimes when it comes down to discussing Biblical passages you can speculate about what it takes to live it out but ultimately there's a challenge to move in faith especially when you can’t see the outcome. Living out what God tells is no easy task, which is why we need to learn from our mistakes. Let’s also appreciate the experiences we have because that is what makes the difference when you speak into the lives of others. The question becomes: do you have the wisdom to inform me down the right path? Which is why I thought that this week it would benefit you all if I brought on an old friend to share some of his wisdom from his experiences since he has lived much longer than I have and knows much more than I do; more importantly he’s a husband and a father which fits right into what the passage is addressing.  The passage that we are discussing is the Gospel of Matthew 10:35-36.

 Bible study reflection solo or with friends is an inspirational segment for Johnathan as a result of getting together for bible study with friends Erik and Jennifer and still having more to say. Thus far, the segment is about unpacking different passages of scripture read in bible study and feeling the need to explore it even more deeply. On Today’s episode Johnathan reveals what bible verse changed his life forever. The suggestion that Johnathan makes in the beginning about grabbing a notepad is something you should consider because there are a lot of biblical references. Get ready to learn something that could be beneficial for you in the long run!

Lost Episode Theme of the Year in 2023. "Preference Your Approach And Communication!" 

Continuing through the Gospel of Matthew series the  soft open is reflection. Are you reflecting on how good God is on the daily? If not, you should consider it. You will be surprised how present He is in the details of your life.The focus today was on Matthew 10:34  “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.”  The question that gets posed is what does Jesus mean by Sword? Why isn't his purpose driven to bring about peace? Why is prior biblical knowledge important as you continue to read the Bible? Tune in to learn how to continue to build your relationship with Jesus Christ.

As we continue through the Gospel of Matthew series we come across a passage I truly believe isn't spoken enough about and that's Matthew 10:32-33. I spent time explaining why I believe these two verses should be one complete thought instead of being two separate verses. Now the deeper issue has to do with reaping the name Jesus Christ. Over the years there have been numerous times where an athlete mentions their relationship and affiliation with Jesus Christ and the news outlets have decided to cut that portion out of the interview and broadcast. Why do you think that this is happening? Another question is why are people more comfortable with Thanking God but never specify which God they are speaking of? I believe That this is an issue that is not mentioned enough which is why I am using Matthew 10:32-33 to address it. Let's Give Jesus Christ His Just due!

 As we continue with the Gospel of Matthew series the passage of Scripture that became extremely interesting for me this week was Matthew 10:29-31. What made it interesting was that Jesus possessed a rhetorical question with a set up to address something much more meaningful. What doesn't surprise me is God has a way of encouraging you to ask, seek,and knock and once you do that the wisdom that you will discover will blow your mind. You know sometimes there is information that eventually gets discovered by someone else's work but it's not the same when you discover Revelation knowledge. How you arrive at that information is when God leads you and you come to realize it couldn't have been anyone else but Him. Tune in and the hope is you learn something today and have a takeaway that you can share with others.
