Today, Mike Erre, Tim Stafford, and super special guest host Suzie P. Lind open a serious conversation about spiritual abuse by reading Matthew 23 alongside current headlines of pastor misconduct and church corruption. The episode asks why Jesus' harshest words land on religious leaders, and what that reveals about abusive systems, hypocrisy, and the responsibility of shepherds.Suzie brings a crucial perspective as a pastor, elder, and woman in church leadership, helping widen the conversation beyond the usual assumptions. The discussion moves between biblical context, present-day church culture, and the personal work of examining how easily leaders can become what they condemn.The group walks through Matthew 23 and focuses on Jesus' repeated rebukes:hypocrisyburdening people without helpingstatus-seekingspiritual blindnessneglect of justice, mercy, and faithfulnessChapters:00:00 - Welcome back and introduction of Suzie P.

Our study in Luke 12 continues in vs, 10 of Luke chapter 12. In this lesson, Dr. Mitchell covers two sections.The first follows on from our last lesson on confessing the Lord Jesus before people. The focus is on how the Holy Spirit will teach one what to say in one's testimony to others. The second section has to do with being aware of every kind of covetousness.Dr. Mitchell relates in detail the danger of covetousness for a man's life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses . In 1 John 2:16 the pride of life is the boasting of one's possessions, either personal possessions, or personal position. The Lord goes on to provide an applicable parable of the fool who laid up treasure for himself and was not rich toward God.Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Luke 12:10.
The Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast continues in the Gospel of Luke which he wrote to the most excellent Theophilus for both him and us to know the certainty of the words of truth concerning our Lord Jesus Christ.We are in Lk.11: 32 as Dr. Mitchell continues the exposition of this Gospel. In this passage he will speak of the light which enters the eye and shines into the whole body. We are to shine the light of the Lord Jesus through us to others.Next, Jesus confronts the religious leaders and scholars of his day, e.g. the Pharisees and the lawyers in the Scriptures. One thing that stands out in vs.42 is that they were majoring on the minors and minoring on the majors. Their priorities were totally switched to the point of their neglect of the more important Biblical priorities.Here, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast is Dr. Mitchell, Lk. 11:32.

Having looked at planks and splinters or logs and specks, depending on your Bible translation, Jesus goes on to speak of good trees and bad trees which become evident by their fruit. Jesus then applies this truth to the human heart out of which the mouth speaks.Dr. Mitchell speaks with respect to standards of right and wrong which may be tempered by certain influences.There needs to be this distinction between right and wrong for the preservation of society.For this reason, Proverbs 4:23 states “keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” The believer needs to guard his own heart. This is done by reading and staying in the Word of God looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith. This is our foundation.Here is Dr. Mitchell, Luke 6:42, on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.
This sermon examines Jesus' final hours on the cross by exploring all seven of His recorded statements, revealing the heart of His mission to accomplish salvation for humanity. Jesus' words demonstrate His forgiveness toward sinners, His offer of grace to the repentant thief, His compassion in caring for His mother, His experience of bearing God's judgment for sin, His genuine humanity through physical suffering, His declaration that the work of redemption was complete, and His sovereign authority in willingly giving up His life. The message emphasizes that Christ's death fulfilled Old Testament prophecy and permanently accomplished what the Old Testament sacrificial system never could, as symbolized by the tearing of the temple curtain and explained in Hebrews 10. Throughout the sermon, the cross is presented as the foundation of the gospel: forgiveness is available to all, salvation comes by grace through faith alone, believers are called to care for one another as the family of God, and Jesus' finished work provides complete atonement and direct access to God. Ultimately, the sermon concludes that Christ's final words proclaim not defeat but victory, demonstrating His love, compassion, and complete triumph over sin and death, offering eternal hope to all who trust in Him.

Today Matt shared with us from Matthew 24. A strange passage that people often draw many conclusions from, which can lead people to look for clues, dates and conspiracy theories. But today Matt showed us how Jesus answers two questions from the disciples, one about the temple, and one about the end and Jesus second coming. In this chapter Jesus uses the tradition and language of the Jewish prophets to prophesy about the destruction of the temple (which happened in AD70). That came to pass as Jesus said it would, and so we can trust the words of Jesus and have hope that He is coming again.

Episode 133 — Why Jesus Speaks in Parables
In this powerful episode of Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell sits down with Ginger Ziegler to unpack a life marked by supernatural encounters, deep prayer, and unwavering hunger for God.From a childhood encounter with Jesus to years spent in the prayer closet, Ginger shares how her journey was shaped by a relentless pursuit of God's presence—and how that pursuit transformed everything.She opens up about the lasting impact of Kenneth Hagin's teachings, the reality of overcoming shame through identity in Christ, and why forgiveness is not optional for believers who want to walk in freedom.This conversation goes deep into the power of the blood of Jesus, revealing why it is still the believer's greatest weapon—and how a true revelation of it changes the way you live, pray, and stand against darkness.Ginger also unpacks the role of intercession, what it really means to be led by the Holy Spirit, and how a life of prayer is not reserved for a few—but is the calling of every believer.
Jesus speaks peace to those who by faith alone are saved and He reminds them that they have been healed!

And the high priest stood up and said, “Have You no answer to make?” … But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure You by the living God, tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus said to him, “You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy. … What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death.” Then they spit in His face and struck Him. And some slapped Him, saying, “Prophesy to us, You Christ! Who is it that struck You?” (Matthew 26:62a, 63-65a, 66-68)
