Podcast appearances and mentions of jesus often

As a follower of Jesus, I often discuss doctrinal beliefs and lifestyle choices with followers of other religions (and those who are not religious at all). At times, when I point out the biblical view, I get the response, “Didn't Jesus say, ‘Judge not that you be not judged.'” Did the Savior mean that we should never offer our opinion (or His opinion) on matters like these? Or is the correct interpretation of that 7-word statement much different? Decide for yourself after you listen.

One thing we can all agree on, ESPECIALLY as this third season comes to an end, is this: Freedom is a JOURNEY. There's always going to be a road ahead of us, always another level for us to go to, always a next step we'll have to take. And, on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I'm asking us ALL: What's ours? What next step do we have to take in order to move forward in our freedom journey? Because after taking a look at some key principles found in Scripture, where Jesus OFTEN gave someone an action step to take after He healed them, I believe Jesus ALSO has a next step for us as we move forward in freedom. Tune into today's episode to hear more of what I mean! And, be sure to submit ANY questions you may have for next week's Q&A to my email at theauthor@ayanasymone.com.

We all want a Godly family that likes each other - even after our kids are grown and out of the house. So how do we create that in real life? Two things we as parents can do to create a Godly home - model our faith and talk about Jesus often.

What does it mean to follow Jesus? Often we ask Jesus to follow us. We want him to come with us as we pursue new jobs or opportunities. We want him to bless us in our endeavors and relationships. This week, Pastor Ulysses preaches from the book of Mark, urging us to consider what Jesus is asking us to do right now to truly follow him.

Jesus - on the most important mission in the history of missions - and able to heal and cure all who were hurt, sick or dying - had the habit of withdrawing to lonely/deserted places in order to pray and seek His Father. Did Jesus simply do this because He was introverted and needed a break, or is something deeper at work here?

[T]hey brought to [Jesus] all who were sick with various diseases and racked with pain, those who were possessed, lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. Matthew 4:24bNow that we have completed our Christmas Octave celebration and have also celebrated the Epiphany of the Lord, we begin to turn our eyes to Jesus’ public ministry.  Today’s Gospel reveals the beginning of His ministry after John the Baptist had been arrested.  In this Gospel, many who were in need were brought to Jesus.We can look at this passage from different perspectives.  We can look at it from the perspective of the ministry of Jesus, from the perspective of those who have been cured, but also from the perspective of those who brought others to Jesus.  It’s this latter perspective that we reflect upon today.Imagine yourself being one of those who brought to Jesus those with “various diseases,” those “racked with pain,” and those who were “possessed, lunatics and paralytics.”  Do you have the necessary love, concern and compassion to be one who brings these people to Jesus?Often times, when we encounter those who are hurting or are the “rejects” of society, we tend to look down on them.  It takes a very merciful and compassionate person to see the dignity of these people and to do something to help them heal and encounter the love of God.  Reaching out to those in serious need requires great humility on our part and requires a truly non-judgmental heart.  The Son of God came into our world to bring healing and salvation to all people.  It’s our duty to help bring all people to Jesus, no matter their condition, level of need, or societal status.Reflect, today, upon those who fall into this category in your own life.  Who is it that is hurting and in need?  Who is it that you may be tempted to judge and criticize?  Who is it who is broken, sad, confused, misguided or spiritually ill?  Perhaps there are people who are physically ill that God is calling you to reach out to, or perhaps it’s someone who is mentally, morally or spiritually ill in some way.  How do you treat them?  Today’s Gospel calls us to follow the example of these first disciples of Jesus by seeking out those in need and looking for ways to bring them to Jesus, the Divine Healer.  Commit yourself to this act of compassion and you will be blessed for your goodness.Lord, please give me a heart of mercy and compassion.  Help me to realize that You came for all people, especially those who are in serious need.  Give me the grace to do my part so that all people will come to enter into Your healing presence.  Jesus, I trust in You.

Are you abiding in Jesus? Often many believers are struggling, because they are not abiding in the vine. Francis shares the importance of abiding in Christ not only for your spiritual growth but for your ministry, family, and church.

Today Jentezen Franklin joins us for the final part of his message about the 5 points of prayer taken from Jesus. Jentezenfranklin.org

Christmastime should be the easiest time of the year to tell others about Jesus. Yet we don't. Why is that? Maybe we have a sin in our life and don't feel good enough. Maybe we don't really know or love Jesus. When we love and know someone we want to tell the world about them. Peter, who was with Jesus throughout his ministry struggled with this same challenge. He denied Jesus three times. For us, when we know Jesus we develop the fruits of the Spirit in our lives. Has Jesus changed your life? If so, you can then more easily tell people about Jesus. Asking a key questions like, “How do you feel about Jesus?” brings the conversation to Jesus. Keep doing so, early and often in your conversations with others. You may find the world is less afraid of talking about Jesus than we are!

Why is Jesus often referred to as Jesus of Nazareth? Why is it important that Jesus was from Nazareth?
