Episode 133 — Why Jesus Speaks in Parables
May 10, 2026Noe Garcia
What if everything you thought about spiritual purity was backwards? Jesus shocked religious leaders when He said it's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you, but what comes out of your heart. Are you more concerned with external appearances or internal transformation? The difference could change everything about your faith.
The High Call of Marriage, Divorce, and the Heart | Matthew 5 Are you protecting your covenant from the power of the enemy? Explore the radical standard of Matthew 5, which offers hope for a thriving, spirit-filled marriage. Jesus raised the bar for the heart, revealing that purity is not just an action, but an internal state of being. Whether you are seeking healing for your relationship or freedom from the spirit of lust, this broadcast will equip you to move in the glory realm and enforce safeguards that last a lifetime. Building a Covenant Marriage: Holiness Over Happiness: Discover why prioritizing commitment to the Lord and mutual spiritual growth is the secret to a lasting union. Kingdom Authority (Luke 10:19): Learn how to close the doors that "lust of the heart" opens to the enemy and walk in total purity. The Matthew 6:33 Mandate: Honor God above all else, and watch Him add every blessing to your household. Safeguards & Integrity: A godly marriage requires trust and integrity without fail. We discuss the practical boundaries necessary to protect your emotional bonding: Sacrificial Love: Husbands, learn to lead by laying down your lives for your wives as Christ loved the Church (Eph. 5:21-33). Respect & Honor: Wives, discover the power of being a "helpmate" with a gentle and quiet spirit. Violating Boundaries: Practical wisdom on why emotional bonding with the opposite sex (phone calls, lunches, etc.) can be a trap. Healing & Truth: "Is it a sin to leave an abusive marriage?" No. God calls us to peace, not bondage. If you are in a crisis, seek true Biblical help from those who walk in spiritual authority. Scripture Focus: Genesis 2:24 - The Mystery of Two Becoming One Flesh. Mark 10:6-8 - What God has joined together. 1 Corinthians 13 - The Way of Love. "When the power of God invades the power of darkness, Miracles Happen!" Watch now to restore the glory to your marriage.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of BuddyWalk with Jesus, we continue through the Sermon on the Mount with Matthew 5:27–30. Jesus takes the command against adultery and leads us deeper into the hidden life of the heart, showing that faithfulness is not only about outward behavior, but about the way we see, desire, and honor one another. Together, we reflect on lust, dignity, integrity, and the serious but merciful call of Jesus to let him heal even the secret places of the soul.

As a Beck's Player with Heart, Matthew DeBates shows his dedication and passion both on and off the court and course. Matthew was chosen as co-captain of his basketball team and is captain of his golf team. He is also involved in FFA as part of the meat evaluation team and is president of his Nation Honor Society chapter, and serves as the community service project leader. Matthew's favorite part of being involved in high school activities is the feeling of community. No matter what part someone plays on the team, it is possible to contribute to team success. He says the opportunity to play a small role while part of a larger whole helps create a sense of belonging and helps build relationships with classmates and coaches. Matthew is very active in his community through 4-H and his local church. He has held several officer positions in his Juniors 4-H club and in a county 4-H Leaders Council. Matthew currently serves as vice president of his club and is the president of the county 4-H program. Agriculture played a vital role in helping Matthew develop in to who he is today. Through his work on the family farm, he has learned the value of a strong work ethic, learned skills such as punctuality and time management, and has found that there is always a job to be done. Matthew's involvement in FFA and 4-H has taught him a lot about the agriculture industry and has helped him find passion for his future career. Matthew plans to attend South Dakota State University to major in pharmacy and minor in data science. He plans to specialize in drug research and safety with the FDA to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of medication for both humans and livestock.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send a text“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” What does “pure” (katharos) really mean—and why does Jesus locate purity in the heart (kardia) rather than just external behavior? We explore the Old Testament background (clean hands/pure heart), the difference between purity and perfectionism, and how purity is best understood as single-heartedness—an undivided inner life that's honest before God. We also talk about what it means to “see God” now and ultimately, and how distraction, secrecy, and the attention economy can fragment our hearts and blur our spiritual vision. You'll leave with practical BuddyWalk practices to retrain your attention, bring hidden places into the light, and pursue a clean, integrated heart that can actually recognize God's presence in everyday life.

Title: The Upside Down HeartSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Nate Holdridge continues through the Beatitudes by examining Matthew 5:6-8. Jesus describes an "upside down heart" that contradicts the world's values: while the world says to hunger for success, Jesus blesses those who hunger for righteousness; while the world says to get what you deserve, Jesus blesses those who give mercy to others; while the world says to manage your image, Jesus blesses those who purify their hearts. Pastor Nate unpacks each beatitude by exploring what it is, what it isn't, what it looked like in Jesus, and the promised result for those who embody it. This sermon emphasizes that the Beatitudes are not moralistic commands to try harder but descriptions of the fruit Jesus produces in those who follow him—transformation from the inside out.Link to Sermon Notes

This week, guest preacher Juan Meza brought an inspiring message called “A Fruitful Heart.” Using Jesus' parable about planting seed in good soil from Matthew 13, Juan reminded us that fruitful growth doesn't happen by accident—it takes preparation and care. He used a garden hoe as a powerful visual, showing how the soil must be worked and softened before it's ready to receive seed. In the same way, our hearts must be tended and made ready for God's Word to take root. Through hard work, humility, and openness, we can cultivate hearts where His truth grows strong and produces lasting fruit. Don't miss this message—it's a powerful reminder that God can do incredible things in a heart that's been made ready for Him.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8
Jason Leonard preaches through Matthew 5:27-48.
Who are you, truly? What does your heart crave, deep down? In the sixth beatitude, Jesus declares that the pure in heart are blessed—because they will see God. But what does purity of heart look like? And how do those of us painfully aware of the sin in our lives cultivate pure hearts?Tune into this episode to dig deeper into this beatitude.To explore the themes in this episode even further, here are a few reflection questions and passages to consider.Where in your life do you notice double-mindedness or hypocrisy? Seek the Lord and ask for His Spirit's help in purifying your heart. What action steps might you take to be more single-minded in this area? Read Hebrews 12:15. How does this passage relate to the sixth beatitude? What similarities in thought do you notice? How does this passage encourage and challenge you?Read Revelation 21:22-27. How does this vision of eternity stir your heart for the Lord? How does it encourage you to pursue the Lord here and now?
Forgive From the Heart - Matthew 18:21-35When the child of God Looks into the word of GodAnd sees the Son of God,They are transformed by the Spirit of GodInto the image of God For the glory of God!-Warren WiersbeReceiving and giving forgiveness does for Christians what oil does for a car, it lubricates our relationships, reduces friction, prevents overheating by cooling us off, prevents harmful deposits from building up in us.Matthew 18:21-35Forgiveness goes beyond relational ‘score keeping' - V. 21-22Peter had already learned that Rabbi Jesus was more loving than other rabbis. Peter probably thought he was being generous by suggesting the new number of 7 times!In saying forgive seventy-seven times, Jesus wants His followers to go beyond keeping track of offenses to cultivating a spirit of forgiveness based on the forgiveness they have received from God.Believers have been forgiven an incalculable sin debt - V. 23-27“On the Day I settle accounts, I will hold them accountable for their sin.” - Exodus 32:34Just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment. - Hebrew 9:27A denarius (v. 28) was a coin worth a day's pay; 100 denarii would be worth about 3 months pay; A talent was a huge sum of money, worth about 6,000 denarii; 10,000 talents would be worth about 60,000,000 denarii.“The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” - Tim KellerThose who have been forgiven so much go on to forgive others - V. 28-35Jesus' point is crystal clear: He expects those who have become Christians by receiving His forgiveness to forgive others from their heart.Practical Pastoral advice to those struggling to forgive others:Remember that there are two realms of forgiveness, the vertical (before God), and the Horizontal (before men). Before God forgiveness must always happen, readying us to act before men when asked (Luke 17:3-4).Forgiveness doesn't mean you condone what they did.Forgiveness doesn't mean there are no consequences for their actions.Forgiveness doesn't always mean you will have ongoing relationship.Motivations for the Christian to forgive:Christians extend forgiveness because of how much God has forgiven us.Christians forgive as an act of obedience for the glory of God.Christians forgive to keep themselves from the effects of unforgiveness.
