What did Jesus mean when He told a crowd to eat His flesh, or told a crowd of would-be followers to hate their own father and mother? Recorded at a Hot Topic night hosted by McGregor's Journey Together ministry, this teaching opens a short series on the hard sayings of Jesus. Pastor Russell Howard lays out three ground rules for reading them well, then works through the bread of life discourse in John 6, the call to discipleship in Luke 14, and Jesus' words about a sword and a divided household in Matthew 10. The takeaway is straightforward. Jesus meant to be understood, and when a saying is hard, the difficulty usually sits with us rather than with Him. If you have ever read past a verse because it unsettled you, this teaching is worth your time. Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com New to McGregor?

A thief broke into a house and stole a wind-up radio. When he turned it on to make sure it worked, the Bible teaching program captured his attention. After listening for a few days, he gave his life to Jesus. Now he's reaching others for Jesus. This is one of several stories you will hear on today's episode about how God is using radio to change lives across Africa. SWRC and TWR are joining arm in arm at this critical moment in world history to impact as many lives as possible. Will you join this effort to advance the Great Commission in Africa without even leaving your house? Africa needs Jesus. Africa needs you.
Stewardship is an act of worship, an expression of faith, and a discipline for spiritual growth. In this series, The Stewardship Principles of Jesus, Pastor Chappell shows us how to steward the resources God has entrusted in our care. Many Christians find it difficult to practice generosity. Today, we invite you to journey with Jesus through Scripture to see the reasons for giving, the discipline of giving, and the motivation of giving.
A little girl in Africa was so blessed by the Christian programming she heard on her family's wind-up radio that she saved money for a month so that other families could be equally blessed with their own radio. She worked hard for a whole month, saving her daily wages. At the end of the month, she had less than fifty cents (U.S.) saved. Today, we can make a difference in many lives just like this little girl who needs to hear clear biblical teaching from God's Word. SWRC is partnering with TWR on today's episode to advance the Gospel in this urgent hour. Africa needs Jesus. Africa needs you.

The Forgiving KingJesus' parable of the unforgiving servant confronts us with the immeasurable mercy of God and the call to forgive others from the heart.Biblical forgiveness does not mean pretending the wrong never happened, immediately restoring the relationship, erasing consequences, or instantly removing the pain. Instead, forgiveness releases the offense to God, reflects the mercy we have received from Him, and reveals Christ's sanctifying work within us.As we pray specifically, confess our sinful responses, and remain surrendered to Christ, forgiven people learn to forgive.

Laborers in the VineyardThe landowner pays everyone the same wage — and the all-day workers grumble. This message from Matthew 20 unpacks how confusing earned wages with given grace breeds entitlement, how comparison turns gratitude into resentment, and how remembering we were once "outside the vineyard" turns our work into worship.

The Jesus we meet in the pages of the Gospels is a compassionate, generous prophet who announced the here and nowness of the Kingdom of God. He healed, fed, and included those on the margins, and taught his followers to do the same. How, then, did this Jesus morph into the Jesus who demonizes the poor, idolizes guns, and celebrates Christian Nationalism? Can we trace that metamorphosis? Can we recover the radical, historical Jesus while living in an empire that continually co-opts and distorts his message? In this two week mini-series Josh offered teachings that speak to these questions and more. ⛪️ To learn more about who we are and what we do, visit https://gracepointe.net/about-us
The Good SamaritanA lawyer asks Jesus, "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" — and Jesus answers with the parable of the Good Samaritan. In Part 1 of The Parables of Jesus, we discover that the Law is a mirror, not a ladder, and that the true Good Samaritan is Christ Himself, whose love is compassionate, caring, costly, and complete.
Pastor Greg Laurie emphasises the importance of commitment to Christ and consistent spiritual growth. He highlights the need for older believers to guide new believers through the discipleship process, ensuring they find acceptance, assurance, protection, and fellowship in their faith journey.Support the show: https://harvest.org/resources/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the last episode, we studied the findings from a variety of tests that were done on the Shroud of Turin to determine its authenticity. Now today, we challenge it against the most important source, the Word of God. If it does not line up with the Bible, then we know it can not be accurate. And it would appear upon first look of the accounts of the burial of Jesus that there is indeed an error between the four Gospels. But let's see what the original language has to say. Tune in to find out if there is indeed an error or if the evidence still stands that this could just possibly be the authentic burial cloth of Jesus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.
