Is Jesus just part of religion? According to the Bible He is not.
From the series "Jesus People: Recapturing Radical Discipleship in the Book of Mark." Pastor Luke teaches about "the yeast of the Pharisees" from Mark 8:14-21.
If you want to understand what a Christian is, this is a great passage to go to. These verses describe what salvation for Christians is. Boiled down to its essential message, Ephesians 1 states that Christians are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. And the problem most of the time is... that we don't like to admit that we are ultimately that needy.

Language has power. Today we look at how we might be affected by the words we use. The people in Jesus' time had a wrong idea of what his kingship would be like. They were expecting a military king, but his kingship was truly revealed at the cross. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1417/29

Welcome to Redemption Church. Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for joining us on this Christmas day. I hope you have been living out a simple Christmas season. We feel like this season has become far too complex and hectic. And we are suggesting that we enjoy a simple Christmas this year. Simple Christmas This is #KeepItSimpleSeason. We have talked about a simple peace, a simple joy, and finding your why… Today on this Christmas day I want to talk to you about a simple Light. Simple Light We need to understand that0 Jesus is the light of the world. We need to know this well beyond the Holiday. Light is important to life. Light is one of those things that we take for granted until it is gone… LIGHTS OUT Enchanted Rock story. Enchanted Rock is a geological marvel located just north of Fredericksburg Tx. It is 425 foot rock formation of red Texas granite… Jesus came to a dark world… Jesus came to a dark world… A world filled with… Murder, hatred, greed, sickness, death… Genesis 1:2-3 (NIV) 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Isaiah 9:2 (NIV) The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. Isaiah 9:6 (NIV) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. John 1:4 (NIV) 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. Simple Light Jesus came to a dark world. The only thing that can push back the darkness is light. Do you have any light? MUSICIANS John 1:5 (NIV) And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The Greek word for comprehend is used both literally and figuratively here as APPREHEND. The darkness could not apprehend the light mentally.. Could not understand it. Nor could the darkness control this light of Jesus… Religion has tried to control this light but it cannot. Darkness could not extinguish this light. Herod tried, Caesar tried, the Pharisees tried, and people still try today. But the light still shines. Let's push back some darkness. What a relief it was when someone turned my flashlight back on in that dark cave… 1 | Page
This week we'll be studying Mark 7:1-23 under the theme of "Jesus & Religion." Human nature has a sinful tendency toward self-righteousness. It's a subtle, deadly rejection of Christ alone as the righteousness necessary for salvation. We add little manmade commands, bind consciences by them, and assume that if we keep them, we're closer to God based on something other than the merits of Jesus. This is the sin of the Pharisees, manmade religion, and unfortunately can creep into Christian churches as well. For the self-righteous person, life becomes a constant "washing" trying to rid ourselves of our feelings of inadequacy rather than resting in the righteousness of Christ.

Jennefer Payne is a homeopathic doctor, mother, and all around incredible human being. We've known each other for over 5 years now and I consider her one of my most significant friends. We have learned so much from each other through our life experiences that we have decided that at a time such as this we knew that our lessons were valuable for others to know as well. She has a wealth of wisdom about many things, but today we got into some commonly asked questions referring to the bible and spirituality as a whole. So as our way to fight the Spiritual Matrix we took the conversation into that realm. We hope you have an open mind to learn something new, or perhaps even enjoy the dialogue! We got into a variety of topics mostly pertaining to a true understanding of God, who Jesus was & his purpose, who we are in the world, God's divine order of things, our body's divine purpose, and how to nurture the body correctly. She will be a revisiting guest on the podcast to give us her view on the world, wealth, biblical teaching, and natural healing! If you'd like to connect with Jennefer you can add her on Facebook She mentioned getting the concordant bible which you can find here We also referred to the 90 essential nutrients which we offer in supplement form available here: 90 For Life

This week, Dave takes us through Mark 7 where we see Jesus challenge the Jewish religious leaders’ belief that it’s what we do that saves us. We see that the main problem with our world isn’t political, financial, or emotional but rather spiritual. Ultimately, it’s not about what we do that saves us, but what has already been done for us.

This is a 20 minute FB LIVE Bible study that I will be teaching every Wednesday morning from my home. If you are unable to watch the teaching live, you can watch it at your convenience. I will be covering Lies Religion taught me & the Truth that set me free. What's the difference between Religion & Jesus? Religion says do! Jesus says done! Religion makes slaves! Jesus makes Sons! Religion divides us, but Jesus Makes us One! In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus said, "Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” MSG Let's enjoy greater freedom as we focus our eyes on Jesus; for He is the Truth that sets us Free!

“My looking to Jesus brings great peace and joy; but it is God’s looking to Jesus that secures my salvation” (Charles Spurgeon). Here’s the difference between religion and Jesus: Religion says, “I will put a new coat on every person.” Religion tries to get you to look a certain part on the exterior. But Jesus said, “Repent and believe in Me, and I’ll put a new person in every coat.” Faith honors God and God honors faith.

Life with Jesus isn't about earning salvation with hard work. It's about the nature of God and his desire to have a real relationship with us in Jesus. Jesus shows us how to live in him by his example. He did not do “religion” when he walked the earth. Instead, he developed relationships with the people around him and revealed the love of the Father through the power of the Spirit. In living the will of God, Jesus shows us that he doesn't require us to be religious. Instead he requires us to be obedient. It is only in our obedience that we will live authentically and show the kingdom of heaven to the world around us.
Welcome to the Shaun Tabatt Show! Today my special guest is Jefferson Bethke and we're talking about his book It's Not What You Think: Why Christianity Is About So Much More Than Going to Heaven When You Die (Thomas Nelson, 2015). About The Book: New York Times best-selling author of Jesus > Religion challenges the accepted thinking of contemporary Christianity with the world-changing message Jesus actually brought. Jesus was most upset at people for seeing but not seeing. For missing it. For succumbing to the danger and idolatry of forcing God into preconceived ideals. What if there were a better way? What if Jesus came not to help people escape the world but rather to restore it? Best-selling author and spoken word artist Jefferson Bethke says that “Christians have the greatest story ever told but we aren't telling it.” So in this new book, Bethke tells that story anew, presenting God's truths from the Old and the New Testaments as the challenging and compelling story that it is—a grand narrative with God at the center. And in doing so, Bethke reminds readers of the life-changing message of Jesus that turned the world upside-down, a world that God is putting back together. About The Author: Jefferson Bethke is the author of New York Times bestseller Jesus > Religion. Bethke's message connects at a heart level with an audience ranging from atheists to nationally recognized religious leaders. He lives in Maui, Hawaii.
