In today’s lesson we will look at some practical ways how genuine Christians are to sacrifice their lives for Jesus. We will learn how Christ’s life is the perfect example and standard of how true followers of Jesus are to live. We will dig into a couple of Christ’s parables that teach us what it means to sacrifice ourselves for Jesus. Then we will examine a little of Paul’s teaching on the matter. In this fallen world suffering and sacrifice are realities from which nobody can escape. The question is, “Who will we sacrifice and suffer for.” This question is clearly answered in a very practical way.

I will pick up where we left off last week to delve deeper in the correlation between God’s omniscience and compassion. You will be enlightened.

Today’s podcast will be focusing upon the truth. The importance of this subject is tremendous. If truth cannot be known then there is no such thing as good and evil, right or wrong.

This podcast is all about the truth.

The Radical Jesus is the subject of the teaching series we have been in for the last four weeks. In today’s podcast will see that Jesus was not a conventional leader and that He broke all the church growth rules that are promoted in our time.

Jesus was and is absolutely amazing and when He walked this earth He amazed people to such a degree that at times He offended them. I then present an original parable to help illustrate the thesis of this study that Jesus is absolutely radical. You’ll enjoy this one!
