Cecil Taylor monthly podcasts ceciltaylorministries

In his season 3 podcast series, Cecil Taylor identifies and explores the Top 11 themes of Jesus, derived from the number of His mentions in the Gospels. Each month, Cecil will count down the themes toward the #1 theme.
This month’s episode is on the #5 theme, Repentance and Forgiveness. It’s a serendipitous follow-up to last month’s #6 theme of Love, Mercy and Service to Others, as there is a connection between forgiveness and mercy.
On this podcast, Cecil reviews some of what Jesus said about repentance and forgiveness, breaking it down into the four sub-topics: description of sin to reject, God forgives, call to repentance, and God provides freedom from sin.
David Inman joins Cecil on the podcast. As an amateur Bible scholar, David has been studying the role of forgiveness in salvation, including connections between the Old Testament and the New Testament on this topic. David and Cecil discuss what David calls “The Forgiveness Imperative.”
Scripture read in Cecil’s analysis in the first half of the podcast is found at: Matthew 7: 21-23, Matthew 5: 27-30, Mark 3: 28-29, John 16: 8-9, Luke 15: 1-7, Luke 15: 20-24, Luke 7: 36-50, Luke 23: 32-34, Matthew 4: 17, Luke 5: 30-32, Luke 13: 1-4, Matthew 11: 20-22, John 8: 34-36, Matthew 6: 12, 14-15.

In his season 3 podcast series, Cecil Taylor identifies and explores the Top 11 themes of Jesus, derived from the number of His mentions in the Gospels. Each month, Cecil will count down the themes toward the #1 theme.
This month’s episode is on the #6 theme, Love, Mercy, and Service to Others. You might think this is the #1 theme, but by volume, it’s only #6. However, few themes are as impactful as the things Jesus said on these topics.
For example, his analysis of the greatest commandments and the Golden Rule are part of this episode.

Materialism. Reliance on temporary things. Seeking the praise of humans. These are the values that Jesus warned us to guard against. Making God the most important thing - that's what Jesus advocated. I explore the Gospel scripture about these topics in this episode of The Top 11 Themes of Jesus - #8, Focus on the Spiritual, not the Material.

 


I'm joined in the back half of the podcast by author John Rabins, who learned valuable lessons the hard way about emphasizing the spiritual over the material. John lost his home, his possessions, a rental home, and historical buildings on his property during a 2013 forest fire in Colorado. John says the fire was the ultimate decluttering tool! Starting over from scratch, John learned seven lessons about the spiritual vs. the worldly, and he shared those in his book, "Defined by Fire: Seven Life-Changing Lessons from Devastating Tragedy." John speaks in the podcast about the tumult and result of the fire, what it was like to rebuild his life, and what God revealed to him in the midst of his confusion and despair.


 


In the first half of the episode, I'll share classic scripture from the Sermon on the Mount regarding this heart-and-mind battle between the spiritual and the material. Jesus also addresses this topic quite a bit when upbraiding the Pharisees in Jerusalem prior to his arrest and crucifixion; there are a couple of key passages included in the analysis, along with two famous parables.


 

Refocus yourself on the spiritual and on the ways of God by listening to this podcast. You can navigate to all outlets from CecilTaylorMinistries.com/free-content, or search Apple, Spotify, or Podbean for "Cecil Taylor Monthly Podcasts."
 
 

In this new podcast series, Cecil identifies and explores the Top 11 themes of Jesus, derived from the number of His mentions in the Gospels. Each month, Cecil will count down the themes toward the #1 theme.


 
This episode covers Theme #9, Jesus Will Judge Humans. Jesus described how God had given Him the power of judgment, and He would follow His Father's will in order to execute the task. Those Jesus accepts will enter into heaven, while those He rejects will be tossed into outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
 
In the first section of the podcast, Cecil discusses the theme and shares samples of Jesus' sayings from scripture, including sub-topics of the theme such as judgment methodology, description of rewards and punishments, and admonishments that we should not judge others. In the second half, Cecil is joined by author and speaker Jennifer Chamberlain to discuss what judgment means, how it will take place, and ramifications for eternal life. Jennifer is the author of Christianity Unraveled: Unpacking the Essentials of Salvation, among other books.
