Episode 91: Christmas
December 24, 2022 12:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBIt's that time of year. The songs. The lights. Our favorite Christmas movies. Parties with family and friends. Presents. We all have our favorite memories of Christmas and hopes and dreams of Christmases to come. Our greatest hope was born in a cave near Bethlehem. The king of kings, unheralded except to humble shepherds. He had no court to welcome him, entertain him, or even clothe him. He had his mother and Joseph. Not the grand entrance one would expect for a prince, but his humble birt...

Episode 66: Jesus in Mark: Chapter 3
July 02, 2022 11:00 - 22 minutes - 15.2 MBSo much is packed into this short book. Mark has established Jesus as God's beloved Son, equal with God, able to heal and forgive, able to command evil spirits, yet the Pharisees refuse to believe. He heals a man's withered hand on the Sabbath, and they can't even appreciate the miracle. They judge him for doing good on the Sabbath. Jesus demonstrates that he is Lord of the Sabbath and reminds them again that the Sabbath is for humankind and not the other way around. Finally he calls they ou...

After Jesus healed the Leper at the end of Chapter 1, Mark tells us he had to leave the towns and go to the desolate areas because word traveled fast, and he was swarmed with people. Also the Pharisees had set their minds against him. In Chapter 2, Jesus comes home to Capernaum, and it gets crazy busy. He demonstrates that he is God by forgiving a paralyzed man of his sins. The Pharisees call "blasphemy" because he is saying he ca...

No mystery. Just BAM! He gets right to it. John the baptist prepares the path for the Savior, and here he is and we're off and running. Jesus gets baptized in the Jordan river to fulfill all righteousness. The Holy Spirit descends. God speaks. Jesus fasts alone and is tempted by the Devil, then he begins his ministry. Listen as Jack and John em...
