Thriving in The Word

No matter how many miracles or evidence Jesus gave to His followers they always wanted more!

Was Jesus being arrogant when He said that He is the only way to God?

Can you call yourself a follower of Christ if you don’t show love to the people you dislike the most?

Jesus is saying the love you show for others will be the identifying factor that shows the world that we follow Him.

What does love require of us?

How does showing love relate to the death penalty and assisted suicide?

Jesus was not in a hurry to be anywhere.

Let’s go and die with Jesus. The “doubting” Thomas was the first to speak up and say “let’s do this.” Was Thomas being sarcastic or was he legitimately willing to go and die?

Why was Jesus angry at the death of Lazarus? We know Jesus wept, but was it because He was sad or was it because He was angry? Is Jesus ever ticked off at our lack of faith?

Jesus always had mercy for sinners but couldn’t stand hypocrisy.

Jesus forgives accepts and loves and then challenges us to right living.

Do we ever love mercy when we find ourself in the place of the dinner but take the role of Pharisee when someone else is the sinner?

Jesus was building a kingdom that was unseen. He was always sneaking away to be alone with His Farher.

The people wanted the bread but they didn’t want the Bread of Life. Jesus has enough for everyone.

If you eat my flesh you can be my follower. This was tough stuff and caused many of His disciples to turn away

What does God want from you? To believe in Jesus Christ.

Everyone wants to see a miracle, but miracles have a short lifespan. People forget them so fast. People ask for the miracle, get the miracle and then turn around and forget the miracle.

Is Jesus still worth following even if you don’t get a miracle.

There is power in words. Jesus is the Word and a master of words.

God can even used unqualified people to make a huge difference in this world.

There would not be women’s rights as we know them if it was not for Jesus.

Jesus says that He is the way, but isn’t that to exclusive?? How can He claim this?

The first miracle Jesus performed was at a wedding in Cana. He turned water into wine. Jesus initially  didn't even want to do this, but His mom knew He had the potential to make things right.

How often are we looking for the miracle rather than the Messiah? The signs or the Savior 

Do I keep following Jesus if I don’t get the miracle I want?

Do we have the ability to spend even 5 minutes in prayer without asking for something?

Do we ever take time to just spend time with God? No agenda. No requests. Just spending time with Him.

What significance did John the Baptist play in the coming of the Messiah?

When Jesus came to set the captives where were they? And where did they go?

If we sow something worthless like checking social media every day...how worthless do we think God’s Word is?

There is no such thing as a second generation Christian

We are just as bad as the worst sinner and we all need God’s Grace and forgiveness.

Before we start our discussions about The Word, we just talk about whatever. Normally we don't get it recorded. But one time record was hit early and we caught a discussion about politics, the future of the country, and the novel 1984.

How imminent is the return of the Lord? What are some of the indicators of the end of times? Who is the man of lawlessness?

God has called us to stand firm. You can’t move forward until you are able to stand firm.

Are you living a life worth imitating? Jesus gave us an example to follow. Paul gave us an example to follow. Is your life an example?

Sometimes we find ourselves enduring but not patiently. But Paul is calling us to endure patiently.

If God isn’t doing something on our timeline then we get mad. We may endure, but we might do it grudgingly.

God has called us to walk in peace. If we are walking in God’s peace then we should become peacemakers.

Persecution has a purifying effect on the church. So many claim to be persecuted but are we really being persecuted?

This church in  Thessalonians was being faithful even in the middle of persecution and trials. Are we faithful to God in difficult times?

There is a reward for the suffering you are going through. The relief will come, but it is on God’s time.

Many people takes the freedom that we have as an opportunity to be complacent.

There’s a temptation for us to want to see God’s judgement come upon the ungodly. But God is patient because He doesn’t want any of us to perish.

Are Catholics following Jesus? We need to realize that we are made right thought faith in Christ not because of what “religion” we belong to.

When is Jesus coming back? With it be by the end of the year? Or is it another thousand years away?

Your quest is to go and make disciples while we wait for Christ’s return.

What is discipleship? Is it simply a 12-week “discipleship class?” Is that how Jesus called us to spend our life? We are never supposed to stop discipling or being discipled. 

God calls us not who we are but who we will become.
