    Episode 53: Don't Miss the Miracle

    Join us as we dive into three well-known stories of Jesus' earthly ministry with a common thread running throughout each of them. At the Pool of Bethesda, Jesus asks a paralyzed man if he wants to be healed. A question that still holds spiritual relevance for us today. “Do you want to be healed?” Because healing means you can’t continue to lie on a mat that has become all too comfortable and familiar. Healing comes with a stewardship of that healing, that demands a different life. Jesus brings healing to this man’s story, only for the Pharisees to scold the formerly paralyzed man for carrying his mat on the Sabbath as Jesus had instructed him to do. The Pharisees were so wrapped up in the fact that this man had broken a law that they had put in place to “put a fence around” God’s law, that they completely missed the miracle of this man being able to walk for the first time in 38 years! Conversely, a Centurion, an enemy of the Jewish people, is able to recognize the power and authority of Jesus to heal his servant without even entering his home. The Pharisees who had spent a lifetime studying and memorizing scripture missed Jesus, while a Gentile and enemy of the Jewish people displayed outstanding faith. Finally, we see a sinful woman enter a party in a position of shame, pour out her tears and offerings at the feet of Jesus, and wipe His feet with her hair. If she had done this to any other rabbi, she would have ben met with scorn and a harsh rebuke, but Jesus is different. He can be trusted with our tears. He is honored by our sincere offerings. He meets her in this moment, forgives her of her sins, and sends her away in peace, despite the disdain and the derision this would be met with from others in the room. Jesus can be trusted with our tears. He can be trusted with our hurt. He is undeniable proof that God loves us more!

    Episode 52: The Woman Jesus called Daughter: Jesus' Sovereignty over Chaos, Demons, Disease, and Death

    This week’s episode covers a powerful sequence of Scripture in which we see Jesus demonstrate His sovereignty over storms, demons, disease, and death. Jesus leads His disciples into a storm on the Sea of Galilee in order to free a desperate man on the other side. He calms the storm, revealing His authority over nature and demonstrating to the disciples that He truly is the Son of God. He heals and restores a woman who has been ceremonially unclean for 12 years. We know her as the woman with the issue of blood, but Jesus calls her “daughter”. He did more than just heal her that day, He saw her. He called her out of her life in the shadows and declared that she was clean… that she was His. Jesus continues on and raises a twelve year old child who has died back to life. Once again exhibiting His supreme authority over all, even, death.

  8. Episode 48: The Beatitudes Featuring Bro. Jeff Thomas

    Apr 21

    Episode 48: The Beatitudes Featuring Bro. Jeff Thomas

    Join us as we dive into Jesus' beautiful introduction to the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are not a checklist to achieve. They are a picture of Christ. These statements build on one another to form a complete picture of what a life surrendered to Christ should reflect. It begins with our spiritual poverty which leads to mourning our sinful state and overflows into meekness, a desire for righteousness, showing mercy, purity, and peacefulness. Persecution is likely to come our way as all of these attributes stand as starkly countercultural. It isn't about striving harder, or measuring up. It's about transformation. As we abide in Christ, these qualities begin to overflow from an abundance of His Grace and love for us. The Beatitudes don't call us to perform. They invite us into a closer walk with the one who exemplified them.
