In this episode we discuss many things of the world slip into the church. We all should grab our mirror and explore our hearts listening to what the Holy Spirit is speaking.

In this episode we learn about a very serious sin, the sin that comes from not taming our tongues!

In this episode we will discuss a serious sin that often goes unnoticed. The sin of favoritism or partiality. There is no room in the church for it. James says it is an evil that divides.

Is this episode we will discuss that true faith takes actions. It’s not just listening, but it is putting what we hear to action.

In this episode we will discuss how to have a perspective change in trials to receive joy that builds perseverance. In the midst of trials we can still have a supernatural joy that strengthens us for the event and matures us in our walk. It silences our emotions and causes us to see the riches we have in Him.

We close today by looking at how God uses His disciples in all their unbelief to change the world. We are left with the same commission… As we go about our lives we are to tell about the wonderful good news that there is a King and His Kingdom is like no other.

In this episode we discuss all the events that took place on the day of Jesus’ death and burial.

Join with us as we continue through Chapter 14.

Today’s episode takes place on the Thursday of Passion week. This even Jesus be anointed by a close friend, will have the Last Supper, Pray in the Garden, and be betrayed. Tune in as we talk about each of these events and so much more.

We continue our discussion of end times and what exactly our job is in the waiting.

Jesus warns his disciples to Stay Alert in the days to come. He wants all disciples able to recognize the signs of the time and to be spiritually prepared to endure. We are called to anticipate His return. So instead of being fearful we are to be excited that His return is near.

In this episode we will unpack 3 different traps that the entire establishment tried to set for Jesus. His wisdom and discernment seems to effortlessly stop them in their tracks and makes the crowd even more enamored with Him. We end this episode with what He truly is looking for… the person who gives it all to Him and leaves none for themselves. That person ends up gaining it all.

In this episode Jesus rides in on a colt revealing publicly who He is! He also curses a fig tree out of love and grace exposing Israel’s roots and giving her time to repent. He teaches His disciples not to put faith in their own might, like Herod and the entire religious system does, but they too can move mountains by placing their faith in HIM as provider!

In this episode we will discuss the third time Jesus tells His disciples about what He will suffer and their insane response! Are we just like these disciples when it comes to ego, power, and position! We have to root that out! We will end the discussion by discussing a bling man they encounter on the way up to Jerusalem and see what we can learn from him. He may be physically blind but He sees sp...

In this episode we begin to discover that the Lord is compassionate towards the marginalized and how those who have to be dependent on Him enter the kingdom easier than those who are self sufficient.

In this episode we talk about how Jesus is sharing with his closest disciples that soon he will die and be resurrected. In His pain and anguish they don’t get what he is saying and they don’t ask him to explain. While he is walking to Jerusalem like a lamb to the slaughter the boys are arguing who is the GREATEST. Lol. Human nature always wants to be the best! We want to be powerful and great. Jes...

In this episode we discuss the transfiguration and a healing that the disciples were not able to do.

In this episode we talk about how Jesus was revealing WHO he was but how his disciples were still blind to that. We must realize that we can also be as blind and hard hearted as they were and humbly approach our King asking for sight to see and ears to hear!

In this episode we will discuss the Pharisees blindness. They elevated their own man made laws above God’s law. We do the same thing today! It’s called legalism. We will also discuss two healings in gentile territory. As the Jews grow in rejections the gentiles grow in faith. Jesus is definitely showing us he doesn’t use formula to heal and deliver. Each healing was to teach, challenge, and reveal...

Today we talk about the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 and the one of Jesus walking on water. Both miracles had to do with Him revealing who He was to his disciples! And they still don’t get it. This one got me thinking. If they are blind and have hard hearts then could we be blind heart hearted followers too? What can we learn to avoid this issue? Tune in to find out.

In this episode we will discuss how unbelief can stop miracles and more in a region. We will also learn who the Herod dynasty was (the puppet kings) and talk about John The Baptist’s unfair death! So much to unpack!

In this favorite chapter of mine we will discuss the demoniac, the woman with the issue of blood, and Jairus’ daughter. Each healing unique, each healing teaching us that God’s compassion moves outside of a formula. He works with the faith that each individual has regardless of their misguided belief systems! We will also explore the world of the Decapolis, of synagogue leaders, and the marginaliz...

In this episode we will discuss the parable of the sower, the parable of the mustard seed and what the Kingdom of God is like. Jesus wants us to partner with Him. We do a little and He can do a lot with our obedience!

In this episode we will discuss what the sabbath is, who the Pharisees and Herodians were, a little about true worship to begin a conversation about worshipping in Spirit and Truth.

IN this episode we will discuss how provocative it was for Jesus to forgive a lame man’s sins, what exactly eating with sinners meant (He gets us), and what Biblical fasting is exactly. Have we been doing something else but calling it a fast?
