We’re all going to have problems we won’t be able to fix. Death and sickness and pain are coming for us all. It won’t happen at a convenient time. It’s going to shake us up.
Have I got a story for you... Listen to this episode.

If you believe your sins are forgiven because of Jesus, then they are, it’s that simple. Your sins are forgiven and they’re not going to drag you to hell.
But when you keep doing them—you invite hell into your life NOW.
Meet Legion. Not an ideal man, not until Jesus found him.

If your faith isn't to help you get through the storms of life—if it's not to keep you safe—what's it for? This week Jesus freaks everyone out by turning off the raging wind and waves. They were safer in the storm.

To further explain the Gospel seed that has been planted in you, Jesus tells a couple of ridiculous stories about what not to do with a burning lamp. He also says if we don't listen carefully and do what He says, He'll take back all that good stuff He gave you.

What's the difference between good dirt and bad dirt?
More dirt. Row and rows of it.

Lots of assumptions are made about this woman and her vial of perfume. Some people think it's Mary Magdalene, some think it was a prostitute—maybe it was a real sinner, like you or me.

Jesus said it would be good for you if you didn't get tripped up on the way He does things. Don't lose faith because God doesn't do things the way you expect Him to (or want Him to). It doesn't change the fact that He's God.

Children might be the worst but mothers are called to treat them better than they deserve. Kind of like how Jesus treats us. Kind of like how we're supposed to treat everyone else. We also unpack the stories of the Centurion and the Widow of Nain.

Picking up in Luke's version of the Sermon on the Mount. Talking about the most quoted verse in the entire Bible—the verse that only Christians seem to misunderstand. You have heard it said to "Love the sinner, hate the sin" but I say unto you...

Luke's version of the Beatitudes is a punch in the gut. This is the basic instructions Jesus gives His people (Christians) for what they are supposed to do with their "Blessed" lives. Forget everything you think you know.

Could you name The Twelve without looking them up? With their alternate names? Do you know what the Bible tells us about them? What about what they did after the resurrection? This is a fun message about following Jesus.

Want to know how to love God and love people? What it looks like to actually follow Jesus? The law was made for man, not man for the law.

We meet the main villains in the Gospel of Luke. Jesus is teaching, a man is lowered from the ceiling—obviously, they want Jesus to heal this guy—and what does Jesus say? It’s not what anyone was expecting Him to say, that’s for sure. It's like something terrible happens in every chapter!

This is a perfect story to teach the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. If you don't understand that we all come to Jesus like this man with leprosy, you don't really understand anything about the Gospel.

From now on you will catch people alive. You will be fishers of men. This is about speaking Jesus' word of grace—the Gospel—and rescuing people from mindlessly swimming in the darkness of their life.
This is what people who follow Jesus are supposed to be doing. Fishing for more followers of Jesus.
1. You have to go to where the fish are.
2. You have to use the right bait or hook or net.
3. You have to be willing to fish the same spot again and again.
Don't be afraid.

A typical day in the life of Jesus the Messiah. Heal a few, cast out a few, teach the Scriptures, make some friends, make some enemies. What if I told you that we were supposed to keep it going—do the same things He did. He gave us His authority. He promised to be with us. What are you doing with it?

A very encouraging and challenging message by guest preacher, Rev Matt Popovits, from St Paul's letter to the Philippians. "God will get you where you are going."

Do you remember what it was like to go home for the first time as an adult?
Jesus went back to Nazareth for homecoming, and it didn't go so well.
They were too familiar with Him to recognize who He is.
(Maybe we have the same problem?)

Have you ever been tempted to worship the devil?
There are two kinds of temptation—one is a sin and one isn't.
When you are tempted, what's the most important thing to remember?
Jesus was tempted to doubt what God had promised Him, tempted to doubt who He is. You will be too.

“So you people are thanking your invisible, magic friend because he forgives you of sins that don’t actually exist? Good luck with that, whack jobs!”
Salvation doesn’t make any sense unless you know what you’re being saved from. The world is broken. All our relationships are fragile. We all struggle with hopelessness and meaninglessness. People are divided. We can't trust anyone. Everyone is either selling something, has an angle—an ax to grind or an agenda.
The things we talked about in here today are the solution to all of this.

Do you believe in God? What difference does it make?
What good is baptism without faithfulness?
Did Jesus talk about Hell? I thought this was about John the Baptist!?

Have you ever felt like you searched and searched for Jesus but He was just nowhere to be found?
Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try, nothing works out? You fail everyone and fail yourself?
Look no further, this is what you're looking for.

Have you ever said, "Okay, I can die now!"
Do you know anyone who you would say was righteous and devout? (Would anyone say that about you?)
This is the story of Simeon, Anna, and Baby Jesus who was still sore from His circumcision—and pretty much everything we know about His childhood.
