How does comparison work for you? In Genesis 1:31, God said, "God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good." Self-comparison is a trap. It doesn't matter if you come up with reasons you are better than others or are worse off than others; either way, it is a trap.
Ears to Hear - this episode is centered around the question John the Baptize sends to Jesus. But there is so much more going on in and around the lives of the Disciples, and we feel something brewing on the horizon - something big!
Among the last things Jesus called his followers to do was to make disciples. A disciple is someone who is following Jesus with all of their life. Making disciples means being intentional about seeing our lives multiplied in others. This should inform everything we do in life.

A teaching from 2016 - Gratitude cures 90% of spiritual ills but being ungrateful causes some problems. "I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling drunkenness, Or any taint of vice whose strong corruption Inhabits our frail blood...Ingratitude is monstrous; and for the multitude to be ungrateful, were to make a monster of the multitude." - William Shakespeare.
The gospel is Good News. God came to give us an abundant life, a life beyond our wildest dreams that continues all of our days into eternity. But we cannot make the same mistake as the children of Israel. They got themselves in trouble by not believing the good report they were given about the Promise Land.

Are you hearing multiple voices? It's not as big of a problem as you think. The real problem is when you don't know the difference between the Shepherd's voice and the stranger's voice.
There are churches today that don't have the revelation you can hear God speak…BUT God never intended for there to be deaf sheep. God gave us ears so that we can hear HIS voice.
John 9:8-17 (ESV)Andrew and Edwin notice Jesus performed this miracle on the Sabbath. The whole discussion about working on the Sabbath and who the Jews accuse of working on the Sabbath gives some great insight into the question about responding to Jesus's command to wash and whether getting baptized for the remission of our sins is actually working for salvation.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.

John 9:1-7 (NKJV)Andrew and Edwin consider how this miracle mirrors the salvation process. They specifically consider when the man was actually healed and how that parallels when we are saved by Jesus based on His instructions and promises.Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.

Today, we celebrate believers' baptism. We see from scripture that baptism doesn't save us, its purely a symbol of the change that has already happened in the heart of a believer. An outward public declaration that through Jesus' saving work, you know have spiritual life as His follower. But even though it's a symbol, we cannot be indifferent to baptism, we should follow Jesus in this proclamation. We proclaim that we are taking hold of salvation by letting go of our former life. We realize that we are no longer slaves to sin but are free in Jesus. And we are telling the world that our faith in Jesus has changed us. We'd love to answer any questions you've got about Jesus and believers' baptism, so reach out today. You can always take the next step and sign up to partake in believers' baptism by visiting burnthickory.com/baptism.
