  Jesus Walked To The Cross For Us

  Aug 18, 20269 minS1

  As I’m talking today, it is Christmas Eve 2020. Many of my family member and friends are out and about buying last minute presents, traveling, and spending time with the ones they love. This is a joyous time for many people, even in the worst of times. 2020 has been a very rough year for many people but we still find joy in the little things of life. I hope that many of us have found new joy and new peace in time spent in quiet reflection, solitude, and time, a lot of time, spent with loved ones. As a Christian, I have peace and joy regardless of my situation. I am not saying that I always embrace that peace and joy, but it is always there for me whenever I remember to turn back to Jesus. While this year has been a strange one for me and I could not have predicted many of the paths I have walked this year; it has been a very good year for me. I would expect that it has been a very good year for many Christians who place their hope, joy, peace, and source in God through Jesus. By source I mean our material goods and day to day source of provision. As we reflect back on 2020, on Jesus, His birthday and what He has done for us; I ask that you also reflect back on Jesus and what He went through for us. *** John 1:1-14 - King James Version 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. ******* Galatians 4:4-5 - King James Version 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. === This podcast is a sister podcast to The Christ Quarter podcast : https://christquarter.buzzsprout.com Please join my team in spreading The Word around the whole world by donating via CashApp at $TheChristQuarter .

  God Warns The Magi And Joseph Acts Fast

  Aug 14, 202612 minS1

  In today’s narrative, we see the birth of Jesus, the plot to kill him, His earthly father protecting Him, some gentiles worshiping Him and others pretending to worship Him. That’s a lot of activity and concerns to juggle for a young family, especially given that they were far from their home. This is of course a great time for us and we celebrate the birth of Jesus. But we should never forget the burden that Joseph, Mary and of course Jesus had on their shoulders. I believe that little baby Jesus was unaware of what lay before Him, as were Mary & Joseph not fully aware of their futures but even at the time of Jesus’ birth, forces were seeking to kill Jesus forcing Mary and Joseph to act to keep their precious child safe. So what were these forces and who were these gentiles? Well . . . Let’s get right to it. === Matthew 2:1-2 & 7-15 - King James Version 1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. *** Hosea 11:1 - King James Version 11 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. === This podcast is a sister podcast to The Christ Quarter podcast : https://christquarter.buzzsprout.com Please join my team in spreading The Word around the whole world by donating via CashApp at $TheChristQuarter .

  When Obedience Costs You Your Reputation

  Aug 7, 202611 minS1

  The Christmas story starts with a moment that would break most people; Joseph learns Mary is pregnant before they live together, and everything in his world points to betrayal. We read Matthew 1:18–25 out loud in both the King James Version and the NIV, then pause long enough to feel the tension that often gets edited out of nativity scenes. Jesus’ birth is worth celebrating, but it also marks the beginning of his earthly path toward the cross and our salvation. What grips us most is Joseph’s response. He has cultural permission to expose Mary and protect his own name, yet he chooses a quiet divorce because he refuses to shame her. That mercy becomes the doorway for God’s guidance, as an angel appears in a dream and tells Joseph not to fear, to take Mary as his wife, and to name the child Jesus. We also talk about Emmanuel, “God with us,” and what it means to trust God when you can’t make everyone else understand what you know. We don’t skip the hard part: the angel speaks to Joseph, not to the neighborhood. Obedience can cost your reputation, and faithful people often carry burdens nobody applauds. We end by giving Joseph his due as an ordinary, hardworking man in extraordinary circumstances, and by thanking the fathers and stepfathers who quietly provide, protect, and put their families first. If you want a thoughtful Christian devotional, a deeper Bible study on Matthew 1, and a practical challenge to love your neighbor through action, press play and stay with us. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review, what’s one way you can choose mercy this week? === Matthew 1:18-25 - King James Version 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus. === This podcast is a sister podcast to The Christ Quarter podcast : https://christquarter.buzzsprout.com Please join my team in spreading The Word around the whole world by donating via CashApp at $TheChristQuarter .

  Be A Living Sermon

  Jul 31, 202613 minS1

  Genealogies are easy to skip, but they can change how you see Jesus and yourself. We open Matthew 1:1–6 & 16–17 tracing lineages from Abraham to David to Christ, then we turn to Hebrews 1:1–5 to hear the bigger news, God has spoken to us by His Son. That combination gives us a sharp picture of Jesus’ true humanity and His divine authority, not as abstract doctrine, but as a foundation you can stand on when your week gets noisy. From there, we get personal about identity and purpose. If we accept Christ, we’re not just inspired by a story, we’re adopted into God’s family, with real access to God through Jesus. And with that belonging comes responsibility, the “family business.” We focus on two core assignments that shape Christian living and spiritual growth, love through action and sharing the gospel. We talk honestly about why loving yourself can be the harder challenge, and how Scriptures on self-control, renewal of the mind, and disciplined living help us become a visible example that matches what we say we believe. We also clear up the pressure around evangelism. Preaching doesn’t have to be with a microphone or in a pulpit. For most of us, it looks like a lived sermon - steady faith, faithful service, and small acts done in our own corner of the world while we keep going even when we’re tired. If you’re looking for a Christian podcast Bible study that connects Matthew 1, Hebrews 1, discipleship, and practical daily obedience, this one is built for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review with the verse or idea you’re taking with you. === Matthew 1:1-6 - King James Version 1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; 3 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; 4 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; 5 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; --- Matthew 1:16-17 - King James Version 16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Hebrews 1:1-5 - King James Version 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? --- Proverbs 25:28 - King James Version 28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. --- 1 Corinthians 9:27 - King James Version 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. --- 1 John 4:7 - King James Version 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. --- John 13:35 - King James Version 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. --- Romans 12:2 - King James Version 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. --- Romans 12:2 - English Standard Version 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. --- 2 Timothy 1:7 - King James Version 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. --- Psalm 96:3 - King James Version 3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. --- Galatians 6:9 - King James Version 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. --- Mark 16:15-16 - King James Version 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. === This podcast is a sister podcast to The Christ Quarter podcast : https://christquarter.buzzsprout.com Please join my team in spreading The Word around the whole world by donating via CashApp at $TheChristQuarter .

  Episode #22

  A Deadly Lie

  Jul 21, 202613 minS1

  Two scenes sit back to back in Acts, and the contrast is hard to ignore. First, a community of believers lives with real unity: one heart, one mind, open hands, and a simple goal of making sure no one among them lacks basic needs. Then, almost immediately, a married couple brings a gift that looks generous on the outside but is built on a lie and the consequences are shocking. If you’ve ever felt confused or disturbed by Acts 5, you’re not alone, and we slow down long enough to hear what the text is actually saying. We read Acts 4:32-37 and Acts 5:1-11 and talk through the early church’s radical sharing, the role of leaders in protecting unity, and why Barnabas stands out as “son of encouragement.” From there we face the story of Ananias and Sapphira: not a warning about failing to donate enough, but a warning about fraud, deceit, and performing holiness for status. Peter’s questions make it clear they had choices. What they chose was image over integrity and praise over truth. We also connect the lesson to everyday Christian life: generosity, service, and church giving can become a stage if we’re not careful. 1 Corinthians 13:3 presses the point that God weighs the heart behind the gift, not just the gift itself. If the motive is pride, the sacrifice may impress people while still missing what God desires. The invitation is to do good with love, honesty, and the furtherance of God’s kingdom as the goal. If this helped you think more clearly about Christian integrity, stewardship, and motives, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show. === Acts 4:32-37 - King James Version 32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, 35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet. === Acts 5:1-11 - King James Version 5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. === 1 Corinthians 13:3 - King James Version 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. === This podcast is a sister podcast to The Christ Quarter podcast : https://christquarter.buzzsprout.com Please join my team in spreading The Word around the whole world by donating via CashApp at $TheChristQuarter .
