    What Did Jesus Say About - Money pt 1

    Each week, Pastor Bob does a deep dive into WHAT DID JESUS SAY ? In this episode of The Red-Letter Crusade, Pastor Bob Thibodeau shares a powerful message that focuses on ONE THING..."What Did Jesus Say about...

If you would like to share the Words of Jesus and earn additional income - visit this link for more information: https://wdjsbookproject.com/ffp Takeaways: I insisted we keep returning to the red letters—Jesus' own words—because only his instructions settle money matters, not flashy preachers or church culture.We explained that money itself is a neutral tool, not evil; the real danger is when money becomes your master and idol, quietly running your life.I shared the rich young ruler story to show Jesus didn't condemn wealth per se, but exposed when possessions actually rule a person's heart and decisions.We said stewardship equals discipleship — practical financial habits like paying off debt, setting priorities, and disciplined giving are acts of spiritual obedience, not just math.I pointed out the modern extremes: the prosperity circus on one side and glamorizing poverty on the other, and reminded listeners Jesus taught neither extreme.We warned that appearances, big buildings, and church image can hide heart problems, so we must tune our ears to Jesus' voice, not denominational noise or celebrity culture.I admitted my own failures (yep, I blew it sometimes) and offered this as correction and mercy — a call to change habits, not a sermon of shame.

    What Did Jesus Say About… Who He Really Is?

    In this episode of The Red-Letter Crusade, Pastor Bob Thibodeau shares a powerful message on “The Word.” He reminds us that Jesus’ words aren’t just history—they’re alive, filled with life and power to change us today. Pastor Bob challenges us to go beyond just hearing Scripture and to let it take root in our hearts so our lives reflect Jesus. With his down-to-earth style and a touch of humor, he shows why feeding on God’s Word is just as essential as daily bread. This message will encourage you to make the Word a priority and live it out every day. CONTACT INFORMATION:Website: https://JesusSaid.tv Hey Affiliate Marketers! If you would like to share the Words of Jesus and earn additional income - visit this link for more information: https://wdjsbookproject.com/ffp Takeaways: I press in: Jesus' question 'Who do you say I am?' forces a personal decision, not casual Sunday conversation.We remind folks revelation creates responsibility — once you truly see Jesus, you can't keep control and stay the same.I point out that calling him the 'Son of Man' tied Jesus to Daniel's royal authority, yet he shockingly linked that role to suffering.We show his authority was demonstrated repeatedly — healing, calming storms, casting demons, and even raising Lazarus — that's evidence, not theater.I explain the resurrection is the exclamation point: if Jesus rose from the dead, his words carry absolute authority and therefore demand real obedience.We push practical application with a wink: read the red letters, prioritize daily Bible time, and let Jesus' words rearrange your priorities (yes, even before binge-watching).I walk through how Jesus built a layered case over three and a half years — public miracles, private encounters, consistent teaching — so when the stone rolled away everything suddenly made coherent and undeniable.We caution against crafting a softer, feel-good Jesus to fit comfort; admiration without surrender is not discipleship, and following him costs real commitment.

    What Did Jesus Say About - The Great Commission pt 2

    Jesus didn't tell us to collect decisions—He commanded us to go and make disciples, and that's the point I keep hammering on: disciples are lifelong followers who reproduce, not one‑time emotional moments. I explain how a decision is just a doorway while discipleship is the journey—teaching people to observe and obey Jesus so they become witnesses who then help others do the same. We talk about baptism as a public flag in the ground, a covenant marker that says “I belong to Jesus,” not a club membership card for your pew. I also point out that the local church is supposed to be a supply point and training center for sending people out, not a trophy case or a fortress to protect turf. We dig into authority too—when we go we go in Jesus’ name and by the Spirit’s power, so we’re not winging it but operating as His sent representatives. I give practical encouragement: disciple‑making happens person‑to‑person over coffee and at scale through the tools God’s given us (yes, even the internet), and it’s obedience, not mere Bible trivia, that proves we follow the King. Finally, I call out the comfort trap—if churches only build members and not reproducing disciples, we’re rearranging chairs instead of changing cities—so let’s stop being consumers and start being sent.

    What Did Jesus Say About - Authority?

    Every movie has the same storyline. There’s always someone in charge. Sometimes the authority figure is the hero. Sometimes the authority figure is the villain. Think about how Hollywood frames authority. If the leader is good, people cheer. But if the leader is bad, people rebel. Authority itself isn’t the problem. The real question is whether the authority can be trusted. And that’s exactly how people think about authority today. People say they don’t like authority. But that’s not really true.... People don’t mind authority when it protects them. They only resist authority when it challenges them. A police officer directing traffic is helpful. A police officer pulling you over for speeding is suddenly “oppressive.” In this episode of The Red-Letter Crusade, Pastor Bob Thibodeau shares a powerful message on “The Word.” He reminds us that Jesus’ words aren’t just history—they’re alive, filled with life and power to change us today... Pastor Bob challenges us to go beyond just hearing Scripture and to let it take root in our hearts so our lives reflect Jesus. With his down-to-earth style and a touch of humor, he shows why feeding on God’s Word is just as essential as daily bread.

    What Did Jesus Say About...Money?

    Let me start with something you may not have noticed before. Movies have been quietly teaching us what to believe about money for years. They don’t preach it from a pulpit. They don’t explain it in a classroom. But the message is there if you watch closely. It shows up again and again in the stories we watch. In most movies, the villain is wealthy. The greedy billionaire. The corrupt corporate executive. The powerful business tycoon trying to control the world. Meanwhile the hero is usually the poor kid. The struggling orphan. The underdog who has nothing but a good heart. The person who has very little but somehow still does the right thing. Think about superhero movies for a moment. They follow this pattern almost perfectly... In this episode of The Red-Letter Crusade, Pastor Bob Thibodeau shares a powerful message on “The Word.” He reminds us that Jesus’ words aren’t just history—they’re alive, filled with life and power to change us today.
