The Common Sense Gospel

Jesus is deity! He is the third Person in the triune Godhead, and we should not think of Him as One who came into existence at His birth. John 1:1-3 makes it plain. " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made ."

In this episode, Jesus will finish the pronouncement of His eight woes upon the scribes and the Pharisees. They have played the hypocrite, and it is time for the world to know. The chapter concludes with the lament of Jesus, over the city of Jerusalem.

As we continue to read through Matthew 23, we are listening carefully to Jesus as He pronounces eight woes against the scribes and the Pharisees. They are hypocrites, and on this day the Lord will take off their masks and expose them for who they really are. Let's be sure not to make the same mistakes as they did.

In Romans 6:6 , Paul says, " Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin ." There are many places in the New Testament where this idea of the old man and the new man are illustrated. In each of these we see godly instruction given, so that all Christians will know who they ought to be in Ch...

Though the scribes and the Pharisees were publicly revered by the people, they were privately corrupt. As they proved themselves to be masters of appearance before men, they were turning their backs on God and His will for their own lives.

Proverbs 17 i s one of Danny's favorite chapters in the book. In this episode, Danny and Robert will discuss the precious gems of truth that are found in Proverbs 17 and how we can use the wisdom of Solomon to better our own lives and the lives of everyone around us.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have made it to the final discourse of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew. Jesus has told all of Israel the truth about heaven, His Father, and His Father's will for their lives. Now it is time to speak clearly and openly about the Scribes and the Pharisees. This message will push them over the edge, but Jesus will always tell the truth about our condition before God and w...

Today we are blessed to have Buddy Payne returning for another Bible discussion. This time we'll talk about walking in the light and how that can be practically applied in our daily lives.

As Jesus' fourth major discourse comes to a close, Jesus will give us the parable of the unforgiving servant. The point of this parable is to show us that when God forgives us, He fully expects us to be people who forgive. Grace and mercy that is measured by men, is not divine.

Today we have Robert Moore joining us for all that the book of Proverbs has to say about our speech and the use of our tongues. God expects us to be careful with our words and use our tongues to bless those around us. " Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one ." Colossians 4:6

In these verses, Jesus continues to explain the value of "little ones" in His kingdom. He will tell His disciples how important they are to God and that we should not despise them. Instead of despising them do this, "If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother."

This is a big question today, as it has been since Jesus was born of a virgin. Danny and Kurt will look at the New Testament and discuss what is revealed about the last days, and what we should be doing about it.

This episode marks the beginning of Jesus' fourth major discourse in the gospel of Matthew. This discourse is known as the "Discourse on the Church" and it is kicked off by a question from His disciples. "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

As we come to the end of the Lord's third major discourse, Jesus teaches the parable of the hidden treasure, the pearl of great price, and the dragnet. Danny and Robert will listen closely to Jesus and discuss the deep truths that are seen here.

Lightning Round question 15 is an emotional one for sure. The question is, "I'm on my fifties and my son is in his twenties. I have not always been a good father, and was absent during some important times in his life. How can I be a better father today, and how can I heal some of the damage that's been done?"

The multitude has been sent away and Jesus and His disciples have returned to the house. It is here that the disciples of Christ will ask Him about the parable of the Wheat and the Tares. With the explanation of this parable, comes a better understanding of the kingdom of heaven.

Here is another question from Jesus! After James and John ask Jesus if He will do anything they ask of Him, this is what the Lord asks them.

Question 14 is an excellent question. Does God allow second chances and are there examples in the Bible that show this? Absolutely! Danny will look at some places where God gives individuals and even nations a second chance.

Jesus has now begun to speak to the people in parables. They will all hear, but not everyone who hears Him will understand. The prophecies of Isaiah and king David are being fulfilled as we listen to our King.

The mother and brothers of Jesus are very concerned about Him ( Mark 3:21 ), and they have come to speak to Him. In our study today, Jesus will challenge His family, His followers, and all of us.

There are several people in the Bible who had the blessed privilege to speak with the Lord. It is surprising how many of them did not agree with God when He came to them and told them what they must do. Danny and Kurt will explore this phenomenon today.

This is question number 13 of our lightning round series. Did zombies really walk around after Jesus' resurrection? Kurt will look at Matthew 27 and answer this excellent question from one of our listeners.
