Forgiven AND Healed - Matthew 9:1-8

What we believe is really important. And there is nothing better than to believe and understand things according to God's reality. Faith in His words and ways allows us to rightfully understand our universe and how we are to approach God.   

The value of our faith is in the object of our faith and for Christians the object of our faith is God, who is ever worthy, ever able, and ever good. As He persuades us, we become convinced of things hoped for - in the future. Join us as we look at these things, which fall on both sides of eternity.

Grace is miraculous. To see it in action is delightful. To have forgiveness of all sins, and a new life and identity to traffic in, with a Savior who loves us, is worth more than our many earthly desires. May you respond with joy!

A recipe for contentment complete with ingredients to mix in and those to keep out. Spiritual foodies delight!

A call to praise complete with reasons and theology. Truth understood can put a bounce in your step and appreciation in your heart and give us healthy perspective from high to low.

We receive lots of calls but some are way more important and definitely should be answered. This episode looks at a very specific and personal call the Lord has for all everyone of us. An invitation is made that refreshes and brings hope to the weary!

You can learn a lot from someone's last words. This week we will see how Jesus' last words can be our last words in this post-Easter message. May you be filled with assurance!

After the woman received what she was craving but not expecting, she shared her conversation immediately with others. The invitation stands: Come everyone who thirsts, and receive freely that which satisfies! 

We continue to eavesdrop on Nicodemus and Jesus' conversation and we could subtitle this lesson "Let It Go." Listen in as Jesus explains how the new birth comes about and how you can have guaranteed assurance of eternal life. And it's a whole lot easier than one might expect! 

We get to eavesdrop upon an intriguing conversation showing how a curious inquisitor got way more than he had bargained for. See how Jesus wisely uses His spiritual broom to sweep away our inaccurate notions of spiritual realities. And be sure to come back for the finale in part two!
