After the “Beatitudes”, which was spoken privately to His disciples, Jesus turned His attention to the crowd and “Cranked up!” the burden of the law. Why? Let’s take a look!

The Law on Steroids! EP05

 Jesus spoke of judgment resulting in the “fires of hell” in the 5th chapter of Matthew. Or, did he? Let’s take a look at what He really said, and why he said it.

What'd He Say? EP06

What caused some 1st-century Jews to believe Jesus was the Messiah, considering he never openly proclaimed it? One surprising method may offer an explanation!

Finally... TRUTH! EP07

The 1st century Jew had an understanding of 2 ages: the current age - the one they were living in, and the coming age - which Messiah would one day usher in.  These two ages are laid out in scripture and have striking timeline similarities that cannot be dismissed as coincidence.

A Tale of Two Ages EP08

Sin and repentance, when seen through the eyes of Hebrew understanding, take on quite a different meaning. Our true identity is revealed through this proper perspective!

The Woman At The Well… A New Hope! EP13

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The thread that runs through the entire scriptures can be traced to first letter of the Hebrew Torah. This thread uncovers a biased love from the Father toward His children.</span>

In The Beginning! EP14

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Because of the beginning, God created heaven and earth. A place for His greatest accomplishment to reside. What Father did next was nothing short of amazing! He made a way for humankind His very offspring to Learn Love!</span>

Learning Love! EP15

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The parallel between Isaiah 6 and Matthew 13 is amazing! Israel’s blindness, deafness, and callousness was by design, according to scripture. Hence, Parables were utilized by Jesus to convey Kingdom principles and dynamics.</span>

I saw the LORD! EP16

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jesus gave specific instructions to His disciples as He prepared them for His departure.

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jesus used parables quite extensively. I believe the parables carried a united theme. Let’s take a look!</span>

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">God established a basic principle very early in scripture. These Firstfruits, ultimately, would deliver mankind from a fallen state once and for all!</span>

Firstfruits! - EP20

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jesus spoke of the Kingdom of God often. Today we take a look at the stark contrast of this promised Kingdom and the current Empire of Rome.</span>

A Tale of Two Kingdoms - EP21

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jesus spoke plainly about prayer throughout the scriptures. What was understood by the Jewish community may surprise you! Prayer is designed to produce a very unique and wonderful experience… a hollowing within the Soul!</span>

A Hollowing - EP22

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Our perception of God the Father shapes our relationship with others.&nbsp; When we create awe and admit that we cannot comprehend the incomprehensible, our consciousness create space. It is in that space that the Father exists.</span>

Lifing, Living, Expectation! - EP23

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">When Jesus gave the Jewish people what we refer to as “The Lord’s Prayer”, he opened with a profound understanding of the Father that simply gets lost our English translation.</span>

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">We now get to the heart of the “Lord’s Prayer”.&nbsp; The understanding of what Jesus was saying to the Jewish people of the day could change the world.</span>

Thy Will Be Done... EP26

These next lines of the “Lord’s Prayer”, at first glance, seem unrelated. A deeper dive into the Aramaic used by Jesus reveals something quite the contrary.<div class="yj6qo"></div><div dir="auto" class="adL"><br style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"></div>

Our Daily Bread, Forgiveness, Remembrance - EP27

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jesus wraps the “Lord’s prayer” with the most powerful statement yet!</span>

Thine is the Kingdom… EP28

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today, let’s look at a common thread Jesus continually touched upon. I call it “Life FORCE”</span>

Life FORCE! - EP29

<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Jesus, speaking to his disciples in Luke 21, hinted at something spectacular! He promised His presence at a time when they would need Him most.</span>
