In the Gospel of Matthew (21:28-32), a father asks his two sons to work in his vineyard. The first son initially refuses but later changes his mind and works. The second son agrees to work but then doesn't. The father's will is done by the first son, who repents and obeys, while the second son, who makes a false commitment, doesn't fulfill it. This parable is used by Jesus to illustrate the difference between hypocrisy and genuine obedience, suggesting that tax collectors and prostitutes might enter the Kingdom of God before those who outwardly profess obedience but lack genuine repentance.

According to Matthew's Gospel account, the Holy Family fled to Egypt to escape King Herod’s wrath. Most Christian apologists believe Jesus, his Mother Mary, and his adoptive father Joseph probably remained in Egypt for several years, until the death of Herod the Great.

This week we explore John 10:22-30, in which Jesus talks about his connection to his followers - he says they can hear his voice. © Kate Heichler, 2025. To receive Water Daily by email each morning, subscribe here. Here are the bible readings for next Sunday.

Hebrews 2:9Hebrews 12:2

Anytime we see Jesus start a sentence with the words, “Truly, truly” it means that what he's about to say is really important and it'd be good for us to just hear this again. So, John 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.”Now it was Jesus saying things like this that (in one sense) got him killed on Friday. But because what Jesus says here is true is why he was raised on Sunday.Jesus Christ is the Son of God. This is the core creed of Christianity. We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made.For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried.[But on the] the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end. …These are facts about Jesus and the Gospel of John makes them clear to us, and I wanna repeat to you what Pastor David Mathis said last week — we see it here in verse 27 — it's that the Father has so exalted Jesus that he has made him the final judge of all humanity. The Nicene Creed just affirms what Jesus says. One day every single human being will stand before Jesus and answer to him. This is not theoretical! This is not symbolic! This is heart-pounding literal.One day, a day like today, a moment in time, each of us will look at Jesus, right in his face. We're going to look at his human face … which he has right now — and we're going to see his eyes. We're going to see his nose. We're going to read his lips as he speaks. And we will absolutely know that the Divine Judge is a man like us, who became like us to save us. Everybody will know that on the Last Day — even those who reject Jesus will know then that they have rejected their only hope of salvation.We're all gonna see him one day. You are going to see Jesus, and for what it's worth, I believe that my job mainly is to help prepare you for that moment. There's a trillion things going on in our lives, and they all matter, but the thing that matters the most is that you are ready to meet Jesus.And so to that end, for this Easter sermon, looking at John 5:24, I wanna repeat to you three truths about reality I hope you always remember.1. You can hear Jesus today.Look at that word “hear” in verse 24: Jesus says, “whoever hears my word.” And the nice thing about the word “hear” is that it can have a couple of meanings. At the most basic level, it means to literally, audibly hear something. To hear involves sound waves entering the ear canal and causing the eardrum to vibrate, and then these vibrations are transferred through tiny bones in the middle ear to the inner ear where they're turned into electrical signals that then travel to the brain which then interprets the meaning. That's what it means to hear. But that's not what Jesus is talking about in verse 24. That's also not what my mom ever meant when she used the word. I don't know if this is a Southern Mom thing or if all moms do this, but often growing up when my mom would give me instructions, she would end her instructions with “Do you hear me?” I can promise you that when she said that she was not thinking about my ear canal. What was she saying then? She was talking about obedience. She wanted to make sure I was gonna do the thing she said. She wanted me to heed the words, to take action on the words — and that's what Jesus means in verse 24. To hear the words of Jesus is to believe. Jesus is saying the same thing two different ways in verse 24: to hear his word is to believe God the Father who sent him.Jesus is talking about faith, and we've already seen that our faith is the purpose of this Gospel. John wrote this Gospel so that people would read it and believe in Jesus (John 20:31). And that was not just the purpose in the year 80 when John first published this Gospel, but that's the purpose today, every time we open this book. Because all these years later, we can still not just ‘hear' the words of Jesus, but really hear him.You can hear Jesus today. That goes for all of us, and look: we should hear him. We should do what he says. And Christians, isn't that what we want?! We have his word, and everyday we wanna say: Jesus, we hear you!But for those who don't yet believe, if you don't yet hear Jesus, I hope you can hear him tomorrow. And if you don't hear him tomorrow, I hope you get a chance to hear him the next day, but there's no guarantee. This is what's called the urgency of the gospel. It means that there will come a time, at some point, when you won't be able to hear Jesus anymore. But you can hear him today. And so today (as the Bible says, Hebrews 3) — today, while it is called “today,” don't harden your heart toward Jesus, but really hear him. Believe him. On his behalf, I'm calling you to believe him right now.You can hear Jesus today. 2. If you hear Jesus you have eternal life.Now there are some grammatical details in verse 24 that I'm gonna make a big deal about.For the first one, I want you to notice the first time the word “has” is used, right before the words “eternal life.” This is in verse 24, and it's one of those things that I wanna make sure you really see it, so help me out. Verse 24, everybody find the word “has” right before “eternal life.”“…whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life…”That's a present active verb. It means not that you have had it, or that you will have it, but you actively have it now. You possess it now. It is yours in this moment.John repeats this for us: John 3:36, “whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.” John 6:47, Jesus says, “Whoever believes has eternal life.” And John 11:25, Jesus with the same point says, “I am the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in me, though he die…” — which means this physical body here over, there's a flatline — Jesus says “yet shall he live.”Believer in Jesus, listen — you have, right now, the resurrection life of Jesus in you and it is inextinguishable, it's indestructible, it's irrepressible, it's unfading, unfailing, unyielding — even though, look, tribulation will come for you, and distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword — they're coming for you, but the resurrection life of Jesus in you is ever-bright, ever-true, ever-new. It does not drift, it does not dim, it will never die. Happy Easter! This is what it means to be a Christian! Because of what Jesus has done, we will live forever. You have that life now and the best is yet to come.If you hear Jesus you have eternal life. 3. If you have eternal life you have been changed.Again, let me show you another word in verse 24: The one who believes in Jesus has eternal life, which means, the end of verse 24:“He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” I want you to focus on that second time the word “has” is used at the end. The end of verse 24: the believer in Jesus “has passed” from death to life. “Has passed” is in the perfect tense, which means this is an action that has been completed in the past. It still has an ongoing effect, but we look back on the perfect tense. At some point in the past, this action has happened. What action?Passing from death to life. That word “passing” means literally to change, or to transfer. It means to move from one place to another. And when Jesus says death and life here, he's referring to spiritual death and spiritual life, and he's saying that for those who believe in Jesus — who have eternal life and don't come into judgment — they have in the past been changed. The theological word for this is the word “conversion” (which means to change or transfer). And conversion happens at a moment in time, it's the moment of saving faith. When someone puts their faith in Jesus, when they really hear him, when they believe him, the Holy Spirit is at work in that moment to make that person spiritually alive — or to use the phrase from John Chapter 3, this is to be born again. It means we are converted/transferred/changed from spiritual death to eternal life.Last month when I was at my grandmother's funeral, her pastor (who used to be my pastor) said something I thought was amazing. My grandmother was a godly woman. I never knew her when she was not a Christian, and most people would say the same thing. She grew up in the same church her entire life — she's buried right by the only church she's ever been part of.But there was a time in her life when she was spiritually dead. And her pastor, Preacher Billy, said “When people tell me they've been a Christian their whole life, I tell ‘em that's too long.” He's right. Nobody is born a Christian. You have to be changed to be a Christian!Now this doesn't mean that every detail in your life is completely different just like that — that's what discipleship is about; for the rest of our lives we learn together to obey all that Jesus has commanded us — But there is a change.There is a decisive move from facing condemnation to no condemnation, from hopeless to hope, from without God to having God. There's a change from spiritual death to eternal life. And it all starts with hearing Jesus. You can hear Jesus today. If you hear Jesus you have eternal life.If you have eternal life you have been changed.And I want you to know this church believes in conversion. We believe that it's a necessity and we believe that God the Father is working until now, and Jesus is working, and he's still saving people. Which is why this morning there are ten individuals who are coming to be baptized, as a symbol of their conversion.By our faith in Jesus we become united to him in his death and resurrection, which means that when Jesus was crucified, our old selves that were destined for death, were crucified with him. The cross of Christ was the death of our death. Baptism shows that as the person is buried under the water. But just as Jesus was raised from the dead, we are now raised with him as new creatures, on a new path, toward a new destiny. We have come out of the grave of spiritual death and we have new life. Baptism shows that too. And in just a few minutes, I'm eager for you to witness the baptisms of ten people who each have different stories and the same story — they heard Jesus, they have eternal life, they have been changed.Father in heaven, thank you for Jesus and his word. Thank you that you are working right now, in this room, in these cities, in our world — you are at work for your glory and our good, and we praise you. With everything we've got, we praise you. Magnify your glory this morning, we ask, in Jesus's name, amen.

In this sermon, on Easter Sunday, Pastor Jonathan Parnell looks at John 5:24 and repeats three truths about reality that you should always remember. You can hear Jesus today. If you hear him, you have eternal life. And if you have eternal life you have been changed. Christians each have different stories, and the same story – they heard Jesus, they have eternal life, they have been changed.

Matthew 26, John 13, & 1John 1:9 We begin our Easter series with: Hearing Jesus, the king of kings, serving and loving his disciples by washing their feet. Introduce the betrayal BUT remind kids that Jesus was not alarmed by this. Jesus knows everything and this isn't "throwing off his plans." Learn the significance of the passover (We keep it age appropriate; if you want help talking further about the passover, head over to my IG @kidsbiblestories ) Explain the connection of the last supper and communion. As always it will be a fun journey that engages the kids and is explained on their level so they can apply and remember it. We want them to know that God's word is for them, He loves them, and they can know Him!

Small Group Guide: Hear Act Opening Prayer Bible: Matthew 7:15-27 Key Takeaways: Faith is not just a noun, but a verb - it's about actively following Jesus. Our actions define us and shape the world around us. Hearing Jesus' teachings without acting on them can harm both ourselves and others. Grace is always available, and even small actions can make a difference. Practicing "faithing" in daily life builds a strong foundation for facing bigger challenges. Discussion Questions: What stood out to you most from the sermon? Why? Pastor Amy says, "Faith is following Jesus." How does this perspective change your understanding of faith? Can you share an example of a time when your actions (or inactions) impacted your community, either positively or negatively? How do you feel about the idea that our fruit (actions) defines us more than our beliefs or religious labels? Bad fruit can give people the wrong impression of God. Have you ever witnessed or experienced this? How can we prevent this? What are some "mundane" ways we can practice following Jesus in our daily lives? How does the concept of repairing relationships being 'more powerful than getting it right the first time' impact your approach to conflict and reconciliation? What "faith muscles" do you feel you need to strengthen? How can you start building those? Practical Applications: This week, choose one teaching from Jesuss Sermon on the Mount and intentionally practice it in your daily life. Journal about your experiences. Write no injustice here on an index card and put it somewhere that you will see it most days this week (office, bathroom, car, etc.) Let it remind you that when you feel overwhelmed by all of the needs in the world, your job is to follow Jesus in your immediate surroundings. Look for opportunities to show compassion to people your community might think of as others. Notice how it feels to do so. Closing Prayer: God of action, you hear our cries and you move toward us. In the same way, help us to listen to Jesus and then to boldly follow him with our whole lives, that we might create a beloved, just, and compassionate community together. Amen. https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/46163/note-227957.html

In the Gospel of Mark (6:4), Jesus says, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household". Jesus said this in Nazareth, where he was rejected by his family and neighbors. The people of his home town knew Jesus well, but they didn't believe who he was. They called him "the son of Mary" to reject his virgin birth and Messianic claims. Jesus was unable to perform miracles in Nazareth because of their lack of faith.

Nobody was apathetic about Jesus. Some were compelled, some were repulsed but nobody ignored Him. What was the difference between the ones who were drawn to Jesus and the ones who were driven away?

The Gospel of Matthew's genealogy is a treasure trove of symbolism, revealing essential truths about Jesus' heritage and mission. In a culture where lineage was synonymous with identity, let’s learn along with the Hearing Jesus podcast, how Matthew strategically crafts his genealogy as a bridge connecting the messianic promises to their fulfillment in Jesus. This was pivotal for the Jewish audience, signifying Jesus as the awaited Messiah who would restore Israel.

Christians consider Jesus the Son of God. However, most Christians understand Joseph to be a true father in every way except biological, since Joseph was the legal father who raised Jesus.

107//  The Woman with the Jar: A Gift of Love: Mark 14: 1-9 In this episode, we explore the touching story of a woman who poured expensive perfume on Jesus, offering all she had to honor Him. Jesus praises her act of love and sacrifice, teaching us about the importance of giving from the heart. This story reminds us that God values the intention behind our gifts more than the size or cost. Key Points for Kids: • Jesus values acts of love and sacrifice, no matter how small they may seem. • True worship comes from a heart that gives joyfully and sincerely. • The woman's offering was not just perfume—it was a symbol of her love, trust, and devotion to Jesus. • We can honor God with our time, talents, and kindness, just like the woman honored Jesus. • Jesus sees and appreciates every act of love we give to Him. Memory Verse: “She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.” —Mark 14:8 Do you have a question for Rachael?

105// Trusting Jesus No Matter What: Mark 13:1-8 In today's episode, we're talking about how Jesus told His disciples to stay ready for anything! Life can be unpredictable, with challenges and surprises, just like the wars, disasters, and tricky people Jesus warned about. But no matter what happens, we can always trust God's promises and hold on to the truth in His Word. Find out how you can stay alert and keep your heart focused on Jesus, knowing that He'll always be with you. Key Points for Kids: • Jesus tells us to stay alert: Life can be hard, and not everything we hear is true. But Jesus is the real truth, and He helps us know what to believe. • Things may change, but God doesn't: Even when the world feels confusing or scary, God's promises never change. We can trust Him no matter what! • Stay ready by trusting Jesus: Staying “awake” spiritually means we pray, read God's Word, and keep loving others. Memory Verse: Mark 13:8 - “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines.

We'll discover what made her gift so special and learn that God cares more about our hearts than how much we give. You'll find out that we can give to God in lots of ways—not just with money, but by offering our time, talents, and love. Let's explore how we can trust God, just like the widow did, and give Him our very best! Key Points (for Ages 6-12): • The widow gave two coins, which was all she had. • Jesus said her gift was the greatest because she gave with her whole heart. • God doesn't care about how much we give—He cares about our love and trust. • We can give to God by praying, helping others, and sharing what we have. • When we trust God with everything, He promises to take care of us.
