The Uncommon Truth

This week on the Uncommon Truth we're discussing what Jesus says about money and entering the kingdom of Heaven. 

Jesus has some strong words about money, so what do we do if we have plenty? Can we still enter the Kingdom of Heaven? How do we know if we're using our resources to build His kingdom instead of our own?

We’ve covered a lot of ground here on The Uncommon Truth in season three, and it’s time to take a break and answer some of your questions. 

This season has been all about what, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…” according to the words and parables of Jesus, and as we discussed, these stories aren’t always easy to understand. So Steve & Vicki are taking some time to answer questions.

When it comes to the topic of forgiveness, many Christians resemble children playing on the playground; we want people to share it with us, but we don’t want to have to share it with them. Often, the same theme holds up when it comes to our own forgiveness. 

In the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant, a man is forgiven a great debt. Yet just a few verses later, the same debt is put back on him when he fails to forgive someone in the same way. What is this parable all about? And can we really have what Jesus promises us if we can’t extend that same forgiveness to others?

This week I’m introducing you to a brand new podcast produced by our team here at The Father’s House Church. It’s the same team that brings you The Uncommon Truth every week. 

It’s called Refuse Ordinary, it’s hosted by Tamara Loewen, and it dives into some of the wisdom she’s gleaned during her time at the Father’s House School of Transformation. It’s called Refuse Ordinary because it’s all about rejecting a lifeless and distant faith in favor of the real, radical and vibrant relationship with Jesus that he desires to have with us. 

In her show, Tamara sits down with some of the leaders of the School of Transformation to talk about things like identity, discipleship, having a robust faith and lots more. If you’ve been with the Uncommon Truth since the beginning, you’ll definitely be familiar with most of the guests from Refuse Ordinary. 

The first season of Refuse Ordinary is out now wherever podcasts can be found, and we wanted to help spread the word.

As we continue to discuss Jesus’ words about what, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like,” it’s impossible to overlook the challenging or even scary things He has to say. One such example is found when Jesus says to those listening, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

So what is that supposed to mean? What does it look like to make Jesus Lord both in words and in actions? After all, how can we seek to follow Him if we don’t know how He wants to be followed?

The more we dive into Jesus’ teachings on what “The Kingdom of Heaven is like…” the more we end up finding. As it turns out, Jesus was teaching about this Kingdom almost constantly, including and especially in His famous Sermon on the Mount. 

That discourse kicks off Kingdom discussion right away with the Beatitudes. So who gets to inherit this Kingdom? Who does it belong to, and how can we live in it?

In the third chapter of the book of John, Jesus is met by man named Nicodemus. Nicodemus is seeking the Kingdom of Heaven, but can’t see it. He knows Jesus is his best shot at finding this Kingdom, but the answer he gets shocks him.

The term “Born Again,” is one that is often used to describe certain groups or individuals in Christianity today. But when was the last time you took a look at what that term actually means? Or, more importantly, what it would look like if you were to experience this new birth? Yet this is the exact thing Jesus says must happen for us to be able to even see His Kingdom.

In our series on what Jesus says the Kingdom of Heaven is like, we’ve spent a lot of time deciphering the parables and stories Jesus told while He was on earth. In this episode, we explore what Jesus has to say about seeking after that Kingdom. 

What does it mean to put the Kingdom first? How do we do it in our lives today? And what rewards await us when we do?

In the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids (Matthew 25), Jesus tells the story of ten bridesmaids awaiting the arrival of the groom so they can all enter the wedding feast that’s being prepared. The bridesmaids who planned ahead met the groom with lit lamps and entered the feast, while those who were not ready missed out.

What does that mean for us today? Does simply knowing Jesus is on His way qualify us to enter into this wedding feast? Or do we have to actually plan how we are going to continue loving and following Him?

Have you been chosen by God for a purpose? Whether you can identify it or not, it’s safe to say the Lord probably has something in mind for each of us to accomplish. So what happens if we decide we don’t anything to do with that plan?

That’s the situation Jesus addresses in Matthew 21 when he presents a parable about a land owner and his tenant farmers to a group of 1st Century religious leaders.
