Today With Jesus

This episode, recorded live from Polishing the Pulpit in Sevierville, TN, fleshes out how disciples are to listen to Jesus by focusing on one parable which demonstrates how we should listen and one passage highlighting Jesus’ example as one who listened to God.

What did Jesus mean by the title disciple? After all, if we are to go and make disciples (Mat. 28:19-20), we need to know what the Lord meant by that command. This week, Dan and Robert turn to Matthew 10:24 where they learn that, to Jesus, a disciple is someone who will LISTEN to Him.

As familiar as it is to many Christians, the emphasis of “Great Commission” may not be what you think it is. The singular command of Matthew 28:19-20 is explained by three participles. At the fore of Jesus’ commission is to “make disciples.” But what exactly does that mean?Dan and Robert dive into the Great Commission as they introduce season eight of Today With Jesus.This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the CONNECT Conference in Nashville, TN.

Jesus was at the heart of Paul’s heart. He never wavered — regardless of what people said about him or did to him. In this season finale of Today With Jesus, Dan and Robert overview Acts 21-28 with four words which emphasize Paul’s devotion to his Lord. Join us for season 8, the Lord willing, when we will discuss “Jesus’ Use of the Title ‘Disciple’.”

When Paul meets with the elders from the Ephesian church (Acts 20:17-38), he reveals his heart as a minister of Jesus in a recorded discourse that is saturated with Jesus the Christ. This is a wonderful place to examine “the Jesus Paul knew.”

Dan and Robert walk through Acts 20:1-16. 

Jesus’ power is displayed in a wonderful way throughout Acts 19! On this episode, Dan and Robert discuss how His wonderful name will change everything! 

This week brings us to Acts 18 and the end of the second missionary journey. Paul’s time in Corinth and in Ephesus points to purification and praise that is available only in and through Jesus!

Dan and Robert discuss Acts 17:16-34 with four questions:

1. Where are we?
2. Why are we here?
3. Who is there?
4. What is said there?

Then, once the context is established, they dive into Paul’s sermon itself to explore how Paul thought of Jesus and how he preached Jesus to this specific group of people.

In Acts 17, Paul traveled to Thessalonica and to Berea. While the response varied at each place, Paul’s strategy remained the same: to teach people about Jesus. This provides a wonderful example for our own small group Bible studies.
