Exploring Faith, Action, and Our Relationship with Jesus

Send us a text

Do you ever ponder if knowing Jesus equates to being known by Him? We delve into this intriguing question in our latest podcast episode, reflecting on the profound Parable of the Ten Virgins from Matthew 25:11-13. We challenge listeners to prepare themselves, actively participating in Kingdom work, and understanding that faith and works should not be seen as polar opposites but as complementary aspects of our Christian journey. Salvation may not be work-based, but we emphasize that there's Kingdom work waiting for each one of us.
What if we could demonstrate our faith and make Jesus known through our everyday actions? We explore this very possibility, picking cues from Matthew 25:35-45, analyzing Jesus' differing responses to the righteous and unrighteous. We urge you to find those small cracks in your daily routines to serve the Kingdom, to make God look bigger than ourselves. And, as an eye-opener, we discuss the remarkable work of Destiny Rescue, a nonprofit organization actively engaged in the fight against child sex trafficking. We wrap up by inviting you to introspect, to reflect on your relationship with Jesus, to foster a deep reverence and fear of God. Let's embark on this soul-searching journey together, balancing biblical insights and practical applications of faith in our daily lives.

Christianity's Call to Forgive: Lessons from The Book of Philemon

Send us a text

Ever wonder how faith can persist even in the direst of circumstances? This week, our journey through the book of Philemon explores this question and more. As we delve into Paul's letter penned from his prison cell, we uncover the profound beauty of his bond with Philemon, a wealthy converted Jew. We marvel at the strength of Philemon's faith and the way it has positively influenced those around him. Tune in to hear how Paul, even while imprisoned, remains hopeful and even requests a guest room at Philemon's home, hinting at his optimism for future release.
But there's more to this story than meets the eye. We are introduced to Onissimus, a runaway slave who crosses paths with Paul and, under his guidance, finds his own path to Christianity. As we unravel Paul's plea to Philemon to accept and forgive Onissimus, we are challenged to reconsider our relationships with our brothers and sisters in faith. Can we embrace forgiveness and reconciliation as Paul urges us to do? Together, let's examine how this letter, despite its deeply personal nature, holds a broader message, inviting us all to be a positive influence in the lives of those around us. Join us for an enlightening discussion about faith, forgiveness, and friendship - even in the face of adversity.
