Welcome to Episode #152 of Way of the Bible podcast. This is our eight of eight episodes in our nineteenth mini-series entitled, The Vineyard Owner’s Son. On today’s episode we’ll be taking A Walk on the Beach with DrZ and exploring some of the ramifications of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and living in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

So with that very short intro, let me get right to the action at the beach house.

WaHoo to you too. I know right!! What’s that? Exactly. OK… Hopefully we’ve been able to satisfactorily address local beach buzz concerning the recent drownings and shark attacks along the emerald coast. Now to why we are gathered here.

First, I’m so glad you’ve come out in force today. This may be our largest group. I see a number of you have invited guests. I would like to meet and greet each of you and will hopefully do that when we return from our walk. It is my hope we can discover today or later that we are brothers and sisters in-Christ. Members of the forever family of God. His dearly beloved children. Joint heirs of Jesus Christ our Lord. 

It’s another glorious day awaiting us on the beach outside. I saw the sun had fully risen a few minutes ago from the upper deck before coming down to join you. I’ve made it a habit to be on the upper deck, weather permitting, an hour before sunrise every morning I’m up there to spend time in conversations with Father and Jesus through the Holy Spirit. This is something I do every morning no matter where I am. 

Just a reminder, it's a bright and warming sun dayd, so make sure you have sunscreen on whatever is not covered. I see I’m not alone in wearing a long sleeve SPF 50 top picked up off the back porch table. Tommy and Irwin splurged and put out the swag gear on the table for whoever is interested. Hat’s, sunglasses, suntan spray cans, and SPF 50 shirts. Thank you Tommy & Irwin!!

As always, the beverage and snack bars are open for topping off before we head out. I’ll meet you at the bottom of the stairs out back and we’ll be on our way.
