What does it take to stop us? When we are asking God for a miracle, and it feels like he ignores us, do we turn away at the first sign of defeat, or do we keep pestering him in faith? When it came to a miracle for her daughter, a Canaanite woman wouldn’t take no for an answer from Jesus.

Jesus vs. the Pharisees. It's not what goes into a person that pollutes their life, but what comes out.

When Jesus calls us to feed a crowd or push out onto a windy sea, he always enables us to do whatever it is he’s called us to do, and though our faith may falter, Jesus will be there to encourage and enable us.

Jesus expects us to do the impossible . . . through faith, a lesson he taught the disciples while they fed dinner to over 5,000 people in the middle of nowhere with almost nothing.

What do we do when God disappoints us, when Jesus doesn’t do what we expected him to do? John the Baptist’s own dark night of the soul saw him watching from a prison cell just as the Messiah’s ministry was finally taking off.

We venture into a discussion about money and ministry on this episode of BWJ. Are wealthy megachurch pastors like Joel Olsteen or Steven Furtick following the Biblical pattern for ministry laid out by Jesus as they accumulate millions of dollars in the name of our Lord or do they have their reward already here on earth? There are no easy answers.

Jesus goes back home to Nazareth, but he couldn’t do many miracles there. Those who know him best couldn’t get past their own familiarity with “Mary’s boy.” Are those of us today most familiar with Jesus much different?

Jesus has taken too long. Jarius’ twelve year-old daughter had died waiting. Standing in the middle of the street, tears pouring down his face as he hears the news of his daughter, Jesus says to Jarius, “Don’t listen to them. Just trust me.” A crisis of faith.

A chronic disease healed by touching Jesus’ robe. What risk of faith is God calling us to? Are we desperate for an encounter with Jesus.
