Mensagem gravada em 08/03/2026 Pastor ToninhoOnde meus pés precisam estar Atos 9:1-15 NVI[1] Enquanto isso, Saulo ainda respirava ameaças de morte contra os discípulos do Senhor. Dirigindo-se ao sumo sacerdote, [2] pediu-lhe cartas para as sinagogas de Damasco, de maneira que, caso encontrasse ali homens ou mulheres que pertencessem ao Caminho, pudesse levá-los presos para Jerusalém. [3] Em sua viagem, quando se aproximava de Damasco, de repente brilhou ao seu redor uma luz vinda do céu. [4] Ele caiu por terra e ouviu uma voz que lhe dizia: “Saulo, Saulo, por que você me persegue?” [5] Saulo perguntou: “Quem és tu, Senhor?” Ele respondeu: “Eu sou Jesus, a quem você persegue. [6] Levante-se, entre na cidade; alguém dirá o que você deve fazer”. [7] Os homens que viajavam com Saulo pararam emudecidos; ouviam a voz, mas não viam ninguém. [8] Saulo levantou-se do chão e, abrindo os olhos, não conseguia ver nada. E os homens o levaram pela mão até Damasco. [9] Por três dias ele esteve cego, não comeu nem bebeu. [10] Em Damasco havia um discípulo chamado Ananias. O Senhor o chamou numa visão: “Ananias!” “Eis-me aqui, Senhor”, respondeu ele. [11] O Senhor lhe disse: “Vá à casa de Judas, na rua chamada Direita, e pergunte por um homem de Tarso chamado Saulo. Ele está orando; [12] numa visão viu um homem chamado Ananias chegar e impor-lhe as mãos para que voltasse a ver”. [13] Respondeu Ananias: “Senhor, tenho ouvido muita coisa a respeito desse homem e de todo o mal que ele tem feito aos teus santos em Jerusalém. [14] Ele chegou aqui com autorização dos chefes dos sacerdotes para prender todos os que invocam o teu nome”. [15] Mas o Senhor disse a Ananias: “Vá! Este homem é meu instrumento escolhido para levar o meu nome perante os gentios e seus reis, e perante o povo de Israel.https://bible.com/bible/129/act.9.1-15.NVI#Jesus #igreja #honra #transformação #Jesus #ressurreição #PalavraDeDeus #DeusPai #EspiritoSanto #PAI #Mensagem #Pregação #Sermão #p4 #p4church #onLine --Curta, compartilhe e inscreva-se para ficar atualizado com os nossos conteúdos!Para saber mais sobre nossa igreja:Site: https://igrejaprojeto4.com.br/Faça seu pedido de Oração: https://igrejaprojeto4.com.br/pedidosFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/p4church/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/igrejaprojeto4/Podcast:  https://igrejaprojeto4.com.br/p4cast/Youtube:  [https://www.youtube.com/@IgrejaProjeto4](https://www.youtube.com/IgrejaProjeto4)----Culto online todos os domingos no YouTube!

En este episodio leemos juntas Juan capítulo 18, como parte de la serie Leamos la Biblia juntas, una lectura bíblica capítulo por capítulo donde permitimos que la Palabra de Dios nos confronte y nos forme. Juan 18 relata el arresto de Jesús, la traición de Judas, la negación de Pedro y el interrogatorio ante Pilato, donde surge una de las preguntas más profundas del evangelio: “¿Qué es la verdad?”. Leemos el capítulo completo directamente desde la Biblia y cerramos con una reflexión que invita a examinar cómo respondemos a la presión, al temor y a la verdad en nuestra vida diaria.

Betrayal hurts most when it comes from people closest to us. In this episode of the Pursue HER Podcast, we talk honestly about how to identify the Judases in your life without becoming bitter, guarded, or fearful.Using biblical wisdom and real-life application, this conversation helps women recognize modern-day betrayal, discern red flags in relationships, and understand why discernment is essential for protecting your heart, peace, and purpose. Even Jesus had a Judas, reminding us that betrayal doesn't mean you missed God, it means you're growing.We also explore the purpose of a Judas and how God can use betrayal to sharpen discernment, strengthen boundaries, and mature your faith, without hardening your heart.

Two Responses to Failure (Peter & Judas) // Dominick ButlerRoad to the Resurrection Series Pt. 1Main Text; Luke 22:31–34, 54–62--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more information visit; https://goldstreetgarden.com

Matthew 26:14-2514 Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him. 17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover. 20 When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. 21 And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” 23 He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” 25 Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said so.”

Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.” The men who were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one. Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight and neither ate nor drank. Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He answered, “Here I am, Lord.” The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. At this moment he is praying, and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.” But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem, and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who invoke your name.” But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” So Ananias went and entered the house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized. Acts 9:1-18 (NRSVUE) Isang mapagpalayang araw sa lahat ng kababaihan. Ngayon ay Pandaigdigang Araw ng mga Kababaihan (International Women’s Day). Inaalala natin ang mga dakilang kababaihan sa kasaysayan—ang ating mga ina, kapatid, asawa, kasamahan sa trabaho, mga lingkod-bayan, at lingkod-simbahan na patuloy na bumubuo ng mas mabuting mundo at kinabukasan para sa ating lahat. Tayo ay nasa Lenten series pa rin ng ating simbahan. Noong nakaraang dalawang linggo, tinalakay ni Pastor Jom ang kalikasan ng “sin theology”. Noong nakaraang linggo naman, pinaalalahanan tayo tungkol sa Juan 3:16, ang ating paboritong memory verse, ngunit binigyang-diin din ang talata 17: na hindi tayo nais hatulan ng Diyos. Sa hapong ito, ipagpapatuloy natin ang talakayan at magpopokus sa kung ano ang susunod. Susubukan nating unawain ang Metanoia. Ang Metanoia ay kombinasyon ng dalawang salitang Griyego: ang “Meta” na nangangahulugang beyond, after, o change; at “Noos” na ang ibig sabihin ay perception, understanding, o mind. Sa Griyegong Bagong Tipan, karaniwan itong isinasalin sa Ingles bilang repentance o pagsisisi. Kaya naman sa Marcos 1:15, sinabi ni Jesus: “Magsisi (repent) at maniwala sa mabuting balita dahil malapit na ang kaharian ng Diyos”. Sa Gawa 2:38, sa sermon ni Pedro noong Pentecostes, sinabi rin niya: “Magsisi (repent) at magpabinyag ang bawat isa sa inyo sa pangalan ni Jesu-Cristo upang mapatawad ang inyong mga kasalanan”. Sa tradisyong Kristiyano at teolohiya, tinitingnan ang metanoia bilang isang karanasan ng konbersyon—isang pagbabago mula sa lumang gawi patungo sa bago at mas mabuting buhay. Sa kuwento ni Saul, makikita natin na ang tunay na pagbabago ay madalas nagsisimula sa isang hindi inaasahang pagtatagpo o mystical experience. Habang si Saul ay naglalakad patungong Damascus—bitbit ang kanyang mga plano at awtoridad—bigla siyang nabulag ng isang matinding liwanag. Dito natin makikita ang ironya: si Saul, na akala ay “nakikita” ang lahat at alam ang lahat ng tama, ay kailangang mabulag upang tunay na makakita. Ang kanyang pisikal na pagkabulag ay sumasalamin sa kanyang espirituwal na kalagayan. Sa loob ng tatlong araw, siya ay nasa dilim—walang pagkain, walang inumin, at walang kasiguruhan. Ito ang yugto ng paglilinis, ang sandali kung saan ang lahat ng kanyang pinaniniwalaan ay gumuho upang bigyang-daan ang isang bagong katotohanan. Upang mas maunawaan ang pinagdaanan ni Saul, maaari nating gamitin ang konsepto ng Old Testament scholar na si Walter Brueggemann tungkol sa buhay ng pananampalataya. Ayon sa kanya, ang ating buhay ay dumadaan sa isang cycle: Orientation: Ito ang panahon kung saan maayos ang lahat. Alam natin ang ating gagawin, kontrolado natin ang sitwasyon, at panatag ang ating loob sa ating mga nakasanayan. Ito si Saul bago ang Damascus. Disorientation: Ito ang “madilim na gabi ng kaluluwa.” Dito pumapasok ang krisis, pagkabulag, at ang pagkawala ng kontrol. Ito ang tatlong araw ni Saul sa Damascus kung saan ang kanyang mundo ay nagulo. New Orientation: Ito ang yugto ng Metanoia. Hindi tayo bumabalik sa dati; sa halip, tayo ay nagiging bagong nilalang na may mas malalim na pag-unawa at mas malawak na pananaw. Ang pagbabagong-loob ay hindi lamang tungkol sa paghinto sa paggawa ng masama, kundi ang pagyakap sa isang bagong paraan ng pag-iisip at pamumuhay na mas malapit sa puso ng Diyos. Ang Metanoia o ang pagbabago ng isip ay dapat humantong sa Metamorphosis—ang pagbabago ng anyo o buhay. Tulad ng isang uod na nagiging lilibuyo, ang ating pagbabago ay dapat maging kitang-kita sa ating mga gawa at pakikitungo sa kapwa. Ang pagbabago ay hindi isang minsang kaganapan lamang; ito ay isang patuloy na proseso. Sabi nga ni Hesus, tayo ay tinatawag na mamuhay sa liwanag. Ang mga “kaliskis” na nalaglag sa mga mata ni Saul ay simbolo ng pag-alis ng ating mga maling akala, paghuhusga, at poot sa ating mga puso. Sa kuwento, makikita natin na hindi lamang si Saul ang sumailalim sa metanoia. Si Ananias din ay kinailangan ng pagbabago ng isip. Takot siya kay Saul dahil sa reputasyon nito, ngunit sumunod siya sa utos ng Panginoon. Tinawag niya si Saul na “Kapatid na Saul” (Brother Saul)—isang pagkilala na ang dating kaaway ay isa na ngayong kapamilya sa pananampalataya. Ito ang hamon sa atin: Handa ba nating tanggapin ang mga taong nagbago na, o patuloy natin silang huhusgahan base sa kanilang nakaraan? Ang metanoia ay hindi lamang para sa “masasamang tao” na kailangang maging mabuti, kundi para rin sa mga “mabubuting tao” na kailangang maging mas mapagmahal at mapagpatawad. Ang pagbabago ay hindi natatapos sa isang iglap. Tulad ng nabanggit natin, ang metanoia ay dapat humantong sa isang tuloy-tuloy na metamorphosis. Bilang mga Kristiyano, tinawag tayo ni Hesus na lumakad sa liwanag. Hindi tayo iniwan sa ating lumang kalagayan; patuloy tayong hinuhubog ng Diyos araw-araw. Sa pagtatapos ng ating pagninilay sa Lenten series na ito, nawa’y maging tapat tayo sa ating sarili. Siyasatin natin ang ating mga puso: Ano-anong mga “maskara” ang kailangan nating tanggalin? Ano-anong mga “kaliskis” sa ating mga mata ang kailangang malaglag upang tunay nating makita ang pangangailangan ng ating kapwa? Ang tunay na pagsisisi ay hindi lamang pag-iyak sa ating mga pagkakamali, kundi ang matapang na paghakbang patungo sa direksyong nais ng Diyos para sa atin.

The sermon centers on the profound spiritual significance of Mary's anointing of Jesus in Bethany, a moment rich with theological depth and personal application. Through the contrasting responses of Martha, Lazarus, Mary, Judas, and the religious leaders, the narrative reveals the true nature of worship, sacrifice, and faith—highlighting how genuine devotion honors Christ above all else. Martha's diligent service, Lazarus's resurrection as a testimony to God's power, and Mary's extravagant offering of costly perfume exemplify different forms of faithful response, while Judas's hypocrisy exposes the danger of misplaced priorities and hidden greed. Jesus' affirmation of Mary's act as a preparation for His burial underscores the fleeting nature of His earthly presence and the eternal value of worship offered in love. Ultimately, the story calls believers to examine their own hearts, to serve with humility, to rejoice in resurrection, and to offer their lives as a fragrant sacrifice to God, knowing that true honor comes not from human acclaim but from divine approval.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In this episode for March 7th, Hunter invites us on day 66 of our journey through scripture. Together, we'll explore key passages from Deuteronomy 5 and 6, Psalm 43, and Mark 14. Hunter helps us reflect on the foundational moments when Moses recounts God's commandments to Israel, the psalmist's longing for God's presence, and the powerful, sobering scenes leading up to Jesus' betrayal and crucifixion. As your Bible reading coach, Hunter weaves together these texts to reveal timeless truths about God's love, human frailty, and the radical invitation to participate in Christ's self-giving, forgiving love. This episode also includes moments of guided prayer and encouragement to let God's joy be your strength in daily life. Whether you're listening at home or on the go, you'll be reassured of one thing—"You are loved, full stop." Join us and let these words of life shape your heart, renew your hope, and lead you deeper into God's story. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We are all guilty of betrayal. Peter, Judas, all the disciples—even you and I—have in common this: despite our best intentions and strongest resolves, we have fallen away, betrayed with our words, our actions, sometimes even with a kiss. Isaiah says, all we like sheep have gone astray; we've left God's path to follow our own. That's the story not just of the disciples but of humanity. Each of us has reached for that fruit of deceit, separating ourselves from the source of our life, straying in ways large and small from the One who loves us. But Jesus steps into this place of failure and separation. He takes the cup—the cup that for him means suffering and death, the cup of bitter sorrow—and he transforms it. It's a cup filled with his blood, shed for the world, for you and for me. And in that act of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love, Jesus draws us into life. He defeats death not with violence or retribution, but with his own surrender and love. He drinks down the cup of suffering so that he might hand us the cup of life—a life that invites us to participate with him in that same self-giving, forgiving, co-suffering love. We, who have freely received, are now invited to freely give. We are called not just to receive his forgiveness, but to live out that love, to be people shaped by radical hospitality, mercy, and hope. Let's learn these ways. Let us practice the rhythm of receiving his love and sharing that love with the world. That is my prayer for myself, for my family, and for you: that together, we would enter ever more deeply into the life Christ offers—self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love—for our neighbor, our enemy, and ourselves. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Hijo pródigo 1) Padre: La única persona que hará todo por ti sin esperar nada a cambio es esa persona que te ama tremendamente, esa mamá o ese papá que Dios te puso y sabes que te ama. Esa mamá que estaba lista para recibirte y renunciar a todo por vos o ese papá que pasó noches sin dormir con tal de que tengas todo. Esa persona que soportó tu rebeldía e incluso tus palabras duras. Esa persona que pasó momentos difíciles con vos y nunca se rindió contigo. El tiempo pasa y mucha gente desaparece: los amigos cambian, las relaciones terminan, pero, cuando hay amor, un amor puro, siempre subsiste. Fíjate quién es ese padre misericordioso en tu vida. 2) Hijo menor: Si tú no cambias tu vida nadie lo va a hacer por ti. Nadie va a tocar la puerta de tu vida para cumplir tus sueños, nadie nos regala nada, nadie va a levantarse más temprano que vos para construir lo que vos quieres, nadie va a hacer el trabajo incómodo por vos. Por eso, en el hijo pródigo vemos que la clave se trata del propósito de esas promesas que hiciste cuando nadie te veía y cuando llorabas solo en tu cuarto, cuando mirabas al techo pidiéndole a Dios una oportunidad en tu vida cuando no sabías qué hacer. Mira que Dios te dio lo que necesitas para recapacitar y salir adelante: tiempo, salud, talento, ideas y capacidades. Por eso, recuerda que el tiempo no se detiene por nadie, ni por nada. Volvé a encontrarte.3) El mayor: Cuántas veces caemos en esa actitud de querer “marcar la cancha a los otros”, el mostrar que somos superiores a otros. Eso nos lleva incluso a estar celosos del que vuelve a Dios. Como te decía la vez pasada, me pongo a pensar en Judas: fue el apóstol que tuvo un arrepentimiento profundo que incluso quiso resarcir, pidió perdón y llevó las monedas de plata. No solo pidió perdón… llevó las monedas de plata. Cuánta gente te dice: “Perdóname, pero me gasté el dinero”. El tema es que, en vez de ir a Jesús, fue a los sacerdotes, a la institución, a la iglesia. Cuántas veces buscamos lo institucional más que lo espiritual. llegando a la situación de que Judas no recibió consuelo sino indiferencia, no recibió paz sino tormento. Cuando actuamos como el hijo mayor podemos generar tormento a los que nos rodean más que paz y calma. Algo bueno está por venir.

Dan Sileo opens with BOMBSHELL reports: Jalen Carter's name is being floated in Maxx Crosby trade talks for the SECOND time. Is it a character issue, a shoulder concern, or both?

Are we always responsible for our sin? To fulfill His overarching purposes, does God sometimes program us to do something we otherwise wouldn't? Was that the case for Jesus' betrayer, Judas?

While [Jesus] was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the Man; seize Him.” And he came up to Jesus at once and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed Him. Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.” (Matthew 26:47-50a)

There is no crime to fit this sentence; there is no sentence to fit this crime. Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate's words are echoed by the zealot Judas Iscariot only hours before history takes a bloody turn on a cross atop Golgotha on Calvary Hill. Two thousand years later, these words are found scrawled in blood in New York next to three crucified men hanging on a basement wall. Judas, now Jude Issachar, an enigmatic social worker and part-time professor, and Pontius, now Peter Pheiffer, an unsettled defense attorney at a ravenous global law firm, have lived many lifetimes since their original encounter. However, Jude is aware of his past and is cursed by the fateful lure of the noose and the tree. Peter is damned by a recurring ignorance, a cruel cyclical awakening that creeps up on him as he is compelled to defend a sociopath who crucified three men. ondemned for their role in humankind's darkest betrayal, they must reckon with their pasts-and their futures-after a fateful, bloody collision of violence and addiction two millennia after their sentence began brings these lost souls together once more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In light of the now-completed black history month and the upcoming Oscars, we consider the "Oscars So White" issue that was a hot topic about a decade ago. We all tried to watch some of the Oscar-nominated films by black creators, like Twelve Years a Slave, Moonlight, Judas and the Black Messiah, Boyz in Da Hood, et al. What makes for a critically lauded drama in this genre? Does a film have to have black creators (not just stars) to be an authentically black film? Are such films destined for a niche audience?

Send us a text by clicking this link!What if the greatest danger to your soul isn't failure but the pride that follows success? We open Jeremiah 17 and the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to trace a stark contrast: dryness for those who trust in themselves and living water for those who root their hope in God. From there, we step into a Carmelite meditation on humility that reframes discouragement, showing how self-reliance quietly breeds despair while confidence in mercy restores peace, joy, and strength.We read the Gospel with fresh eyes: the rich man's downfall isn't luxury itself but a heart that overlooks Lazarus at his gate. Abraham's reply cuts to the core—God has already spoken through Moses and the prophets; the invitation to conversion stands. That same invitation reaches into our daily patterns. It asks us to notice where we assign credit. Many of us can own our failures, yet we cling to our wins as self-made. True humility does both: it admits fault without despair and returns every success to the Giver. This shift not only guards our hearts from hidden pride but also frees us to serve with generosity.Along the way, we hold up two paths after a fall: Judas's despair and Peter's tears. Both men failed; only one trusted love enough to come back. That trust becomes our Lenten practice—confess quickly, ask boldly, and let grace carry what effort cannot. We close with practical steps for the week, from fasting on Friday to small acts of mercy that keep our roots in living water.

In the Season 2 finale of The Choice, Ghost and Ashe in America unpack one of the most pivotal moments in the Gospel narrative as the story moves toward the Sermon on the Mount. The episode introduces Judas and explores a fictionalized backstory that examines how ambition, moral compromise, and the temptations of worldly success can shape a man's path. Through sharp analysis of the show's storytelling choices, Ghost and Ashe discuss how Judas's early decisions reveal the tension between pursuing power in the world and following the call of the Messiah. Meanwhile, the disciples struggle with division, insecurity, and doubt as they prepare for one of the most important teachings of Jesus' ministry. Against this backdrop of chaos and uncertainty, Jesus works with Matthew to craft the Sermon on the Mount, framing it as a revolutionary manifesto that challenges the moral assumptions of the world. The hosts break down the symbolism behind “salt of the earth,” the deeper meaning of the Beatitudes, and the contrast between the kingdom of God and the systems of power represented by religious leaders and political scheming. The result is a powerful discussion about humility, righteousness, and what it truly means to follow Christ.

Do you ever feel like your faith stays mostly in theory? In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the danger of getting “just enough” of God to feel inspired without ever truly being transformed. Using the example of Judas and the Church's call to prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, he shows that real Christianity is not about proximity to Jesus but becoming like Him. Lent invites us to move beyond ideas and into action, to sacrifice, to surrender our idols, and to let God reshape our lives. If you want more than a comfortable faith, this is an invitation to go all in.

This episode addresses a central theological tension: If God is sovereign over history, are human beings still responsible for their actions? We answer that question through two difficult biblical texts: Judas' betrayal of Jesus — Did he have genuine freedom, or was he fulfilling an unavoidable script? The execution in Book of Numbers 15 — Why was gathering sticks treated as a capital offense? We explore: Scriptural motives attributed to Judas The relationship between prophecy and free choice Covenant law in ancient Israel Communal justice and the function of stoning The shift seen in Gospel of John 8 How sovereignty and responsibility operate together This episode aims for clarity, not sentiment — especially for those who struggle with difficult passages.

[Jesus] testified, “Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom He spoke. One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus' side, so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom He was speaking. So that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I will give this morsel of bread when I have dipped it.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Then … Satan entered into Judas. Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” … So, after receiving the morsel of bread, Judas immediately went out. And it was night. (John 13:21b-27, 30)

In the darkness of the garden, betrayal comes with a kiss and the Shepherd stands alone. In Mark 14:42–52, Judas delivers Jesus into the hands of those who should have recognized Him, the old system rejects its fulfillment, and the disciples scatter in fear. This week, Pastor Korey shows how none of it was accidental—every step fulfilled Scripture—and how the Good Shepherd remained faithful even when His sheep ran away.

The Last Supper: Love and Betrayal | Cowboy Bible Study We are just 12 hours away from the crucifixion. The scene is the Passover Feast, but the atmosphere is about to change forever. In this installment of Save the Cowboy, Kevin Weatherby takes us into the room where the mightiest cowboy to ever ride prepares to become the ultimate Passover Lamb. The "Hoof Washing": A God Who Kneels Jesus didn't just teach humility; He lived it. When He took off His outer cloak to wash the disciples' feet, He was mirroring His entire mission. He left the throne of heaven, put on the "clothes" of a human servant, and knelt in the dirt so we could be clean. Cleaning Your Boots: Being saved means you're bathed in love, but walking through this world gets your gear dirty. We discuss why confession and repentance are about cleaning your boots, not losing your salvation. A Mirror of Heaven: Discover the deep symbolism behind Jesus taking off His cloak and putting it back on—the perfect picture of the Incarnation and His return to the throne. The Snake in the Grass: Lord or Teacher? We look at the seating chart of the triclinium and the tragedy of Judas. There is a massive difference between being a fan of Jesus and making Him your Lord. While the other disciples asked, "Am I the one, Lord?" Judas could only call Him "Teacher." The Exit into Night: The moment Judas stepped away from the Light of the World and into the darkness of his own free will. The Judas in Us: Most of our problems come from getting mad when God isn't who we want Him to be, rather than submitting to who He is. The Toughest Commandment Jesus leaves us with a "refreshed" command: Love one another as He loved us. This isn't a suggestion; it's the proof of your Cowboy Ministry.

They were fellow-soldiers and kinsmen of St Theodore the Tyro (Feb. 17). When St Theodore received his martyrdom, they were kept in prison because the governor of Amasia was unwilling to execute them. But a new and crueler governor, Asclepiodotus, took his place and ordered the three soldiers of Christ to be brought to him. At first, the governor used flattery and bribery to attempt to turn the three from Christ. He invited Eutropius to dine with him, but Eutropius refused, quoting the Psalm 'Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsels of the ungodly.' He then offered them a huge amount of silver, which they likewise refused, telling the governor that Judas lost his soul for silver. The governor then turned to torture, subjecting the three to extreme torments. At last, he condemned Eutropius and Cleonicus to crucifixion, for which they joyfully gave thanks that they had been found worthy to die the same death as Christ. Basiliscus was held in prison awhile longer in hopes that the deaths of his companions would weaken his resolve; but when he remained steadfast in the Faith, he was beheaded, on May 22 (on which he is also commemorated) in 308

This is my final report on Wim Hof—the charismatic ice-guru who exposed me to the magic of breathwork and cold exposure. Since I first met Hof in 2013 he has become increasingly erratic and even dangerous. Today a new edition of my New York Times bestselling book What Doesn't Kill Us is officially for sale and I'd love you to pick up a copy or download the audiobook on Audible. (Incidentally, if you already have a copy from Audible you can just re-download the book to access the new files for free).I'm setting the record straight about Hof because of the prominent endorsements I gave him over the course of a decade. I still believe in the transformative power of various environmental exposure and breathwork regimens, it's just that Wim can no longer be the face of the movement. Over the last two years I've collected archival footage of Hof, interviewed dozens of people whose family members' died following Wim's instructions and endured near-constant abuse from his cult-like devotees who would rather call me “Judas” in the pantheon of Hof than look at the evidence with clear eyes. The video I'm putting out today collects the most important pieces of Hof's story that ultimately made me change my mind about him.Official Book Page: https://www.scottcarney.com/what-doesnt-kill-usAudible: https://www.audible.com/pd/B01N5NNZF8/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-077506&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_077506_rh_usAmazon: https://www.amazon.com/What-Doesnt-Kill-Environmental-Conditioning/dp/1635652413/?tag=Foxtopus-20Get Early Access on Substackhttps://sgcarney.substack.com/

1) No juzguen: Judas Iscariote sí trató de arreglar lo que hizo. Se fue a confesar ante aquellos sacerdotes del sanedrín. Ni siquiera pudo con su remordimiento. Puedo animarme a decirte que Judas hizo la confesión más grande, sincera y auténtica que ningún otro apóstol hizo. “He derramado sangre inocente” y entregó las monedas… Hasta devolvió las 30 monedas de plata. Pocos cristianos piden perdón y restituyen. No solo pidió perdón, sino que también restituyó. Pero los “saboteadores de la gracia” no lo perdonaron, porque siempre aparecen esos saboteadores de la gracia que lo único que aprueban es el legalismo. Judas no fue más pecador que el resto de los discípulos que se escaparon muertos de miedo el Jueves Santo. Capaz que Judas el error que cometió es que, en vez de ir a la cruz, fue a la institución. Porque hay gente que busca paz en la institución y no en Jesús. Hay gente que, en vez de buscar la gracia de Dios, busca a los policías de Dios. Sé que puede sonar fuerte esto, pero creo que es necesario recordar que uno vino a buscar gracias para ir al cielo, no a buscar aduaneros institucionales.2) Condenen: La condena siempre está; la condena social y hasta religiosa, como también la familiar. Pero, como dice el dicho “No se trata de ganar, sino de no abandonar el camino”. Por eso, no dejes que aquellos que te condenan y te señalan con el dedo o aquellos que dicen que todo lo haces mal te hagan perder tu mirada a la felicidad o en si a la eternidad. Vos tenés mucho por hacer y aprender y, lo que no se logró con esperanza, te lleva a lograr adquirir experiencias.3) Ustedes: Cuenta la historia japonesa que Honda fue rechazado por Toyota. Y recordó que el valor no se encuentra en vencer, sino en permanecer fiel al camino, incluso cuando nadie observa. Honda no discutió ni se victimizó, aceptó el golpe y siguió caminando. Hizo su fábrica. La Segunda Guerra Mundial le destruyó su fábrica y perdió todo menos su disciplina. Actuó sin enojos ni miedos ni excusas, porque Honda no pensó en lo que perdió, sino en lo que iba a hacer en ese momento. Volvió a fabricar motores imperfectos y, con el correr del tiempo, fue haciéndose cada vez más prestigioso, llegando a ser uno de los primeros motores menos ruidosos del mercado. Siempre decía que no buscaba ser el mejor sino “mejor que ayer”, porque el camino del guerrero no promete el éxito, pero sí te asegura el carácter y quien no abandona el camino tarde o temprano llega. Por eso, Honda antes de morir marcó una disciplina, por lo que incluso sigue la empresa trabajando sin su presencia, porque quien actúa con disciplina deja cosas en las personas que lo rodean. Algo bueno está por venir.

The story of Judas is both a warning and an invitation. A warning against compromise and an invitation back to Yah's ways.

MARK 6:1-6 1 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. "Where did this man get these things?" they asked. "What's this wisdom that has been given him, that even he does miracles! 3 Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us? And they took offense at him. 4 Jesus said to them, "Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor." 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 And he was amazed at their lack of faith. NIV 84 LESSON NOTES The people of Nazareth were amazed at Jesus' words and works, yet their familiarity with Him prevented them from honoring Him. Knowing about Jesus is not the same as honoring Him. Familiarity with Jesus can either deepen worship or breed indifference. The people were “blown away” (v. 2), but amazement alone did not lead to faith. Being impressed by Jesus is not the same as surrendering to Him. The Gospel Offends Before It Heals. The people of Nazareth moved from amazement to offense because they were offended by Jesus' ordinary background. The gospel offends because it confronts pride, exposes sin, and calls for repentance.  Jesus was amazed at their lack of faith (v. 6). Faith (pistis) is more than mental agreement—it is faithful obedience and allegiance. The centurion in Luke 7 understood authority and responded with submission. The people of Nazareth understood Jesus' background but refused allegiance. The measure of faith is not how long we've known Jesus, but how fully we obey Him. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Are you still amazed at His grace? When was the last time you felt genuinely overwhelmed by the grace of Jesus? Has “Amazing Grace” become overly familiar in your spiritual life? What would it look like to rediscover its wonder?  2. Are you still affected by His gospel? Which parts of the gospel message challenge or confront you most right now? Why do you think the people of Nazareth moved from amazement to offense? In what ways do people today admire Jesus but resist surrendering to Him? 3. Are you still allegiant to His glory? Where might there be a gap between what you know about Jesus and how you follow Him? If faith means allegiance, what does that look like in daily life (home, work, relationships, decision-making)? What is one area of clear obedience God may be calling you to right now?

John's Gospel moves us to the Last Supper.  Jesus washes the disciples' feet.  That includes Judas who will betray him.  He doesn't attack Judas preemptively.  He washes his feet instead in an act of love.  Because it's not about changing his enemy's heart or mind.  Jesus does it to remain who he is.  The sermon is based on John 13:1-17

Caleb Drahosh As Jesus enters Gethsemane, the hour of His death is near. He tells His disciples to sit and pray, and takes Peter, James, and John into the garden further. There He tells them to watch. They fall asleep. He tells them to watch again. They fall asleep again. The time is now. Judas came with a crowd to arrest Jesus. The shepherd is stuck and the sheep scatter. Often our intent is to follow Jesus, but our flesh desires comfort and when difficulty comes, we respond wrongly.

Matthew 26:6-16

This sermon explores Jesus's act of washing the disciples' feet at the Last Supper as a profound demonstration of servant leadership and divine love. The message challenges believers to understand that God's service to humanity is not based on our worthiness, position, or behavior, but solely on His love for us. Just as Jesus served His disciples—including Judas who would betray Him—Christians are called to serve others with humility, setting aside pride and titles to pick up the towel of service. The sermon emphasizes that serving is about purpose, not position, and that we are blessed not for our own sake but to bless others. The ultimate example of this service is the Gospel itself—Jesus living the life we couldn't live, dying the death we deserved, and rising again. The message urgently calls believers to walk in their God-given purpose and serve the world while there is still time.

In the second week of our Villains message series, Pastor Mark takes us on a journey through the life of Judas, from a devoted disciple who deeply knew Jesus to the ultimate betrayer. Through his questions and his lifestyle of lying, Judas was led down a path that would have been “better for that man if he had not been born.” Join us to learn how we can steer clear of a path that leads to being ok with sin.

Station of Denial Do you feel the moment you used to be bold, and then suddenly the room got warmer, the questions got sharper, and your courage got quieter? In this week's Station of Denial (Luke 22:54–62), we step into the courtyard where Peter follows Jesus at a distance, sits by the fire, and over the span of hours denies Him three times, until the rooster crows and Jesus turns to look straight at him. This isn't a story about how to “try harder,” it's a sobering look at how convictions often stop where discomfort starts, and how self-confidence collapses when the pressure gets personal. But it's also a story of mercy: failure doesn't have to be a full stop, and even in the moment Peter breaks, Jesus is already holding him with prayer. As we walk the Stations with intentional fasting and surrender, we quiet our appetites long enough to face the question honestly: when the heat rises, do I stand with Jesus, or do I keep my distance? Luke 22 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? Have you ever “followed at a distance” — close enough to observe Jesus, but far enough to avoid association? What feels more familiar in your own life: regret like Judas or repentance like Peter? Why? HEART – How did it make you feel? Where might self-confidence be quietly replacing dependence on Jesus in your walk right now? What is the significance of Jesus' words, “I have prayed for you,” in contrast to Judas' outcome? HANDS – What are you going to do with it? What is one area where you need to move from distance back to closeness with Jesus this week? How are you doing with your fast?  Have you heard from Jesus during this process? Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next

On the night of the Last Supper, every disciple asked, “Lord, is it I?”But one man said, “Is it I, Rabbi?”In this message, we walk through the quiet progression of Judas — from frustration… to distance… to betrayal. How does someone walk with Jesus for years and still miss Him? How does reverence turn into routine? How does a heart drift without anyone noticing?This isn't a message about condemning Judas.It's about examining ourselves.We'll look at: • The subtle signs of a drifting heart • The difference between remorse and true repentance • Why asking “Is it I?” may actually be a sign of hope • What separates failure from betrayal

Today - in the middle of a hectic week, we'll take a short detour to remind each other of what it means to walk in the Way of Jesus. This is the audio podcast.

Nicodemus is a character that perfectly personifies the tensions that surrounded Jesus. And he seems completely unique in the Gospels. What might a beautiful painting of his memorable nighttime meeting with the Messiah highlight some things we can learn about our relationship with Jesus? Also, along the way, we looked at some fascinating comparisons between Nicodemus and Judas. Join us! The image attached to this podcast is the "study" version of Henry Tanner's "Nicodemus Comes to Jesus." The finished version that Pastor Chris also refers to is here if you'd like to see it.

While Jesus is in the garden with his disciples, Judas comes with high priests and soldiers to arrest Jesus. “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say it must happen this way?” Find out all that is happening on both our campuses during the sacred season of Lent—beginning with Ash Wednesday on Feb. 18 and leading up to Easter Sunday on April 5.

Welcome to Part 33 of our series with historian John G. Turner, based on his landmark biography Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.In this episode, we dive into Chapter 26 (titled “David”) and explore one of the most controversial patterns in Joseph Smith's leadership: how he responded when trusted insiders became vocal critics.As pressure mounted from Missouri over the attempted assassination of Lilburn Boggs, Joseph faced internal dissent from figures like John C. Bennett and Orson Pratt. We examine the fallout surrounding Sarah Pratt, the publication of the so-called “Happiness Letter,” and the devastating public denunciation that followed.Was Joseph defending himself from slander? Or was he fighting dirty in the press?Today we discuss the allegations surrounding Nancy Rigdon and Sarah Pratt, Joseph's public rebukes and “Judas” comparisons, the (embarrassing) re-baptism of the Pratts, the role of Brigham Young in publicly acknowledging plural marriage, the publication of John C. Bennett, Joseph's legal maneuvers to avoid extradition, his complicated and evolving stance on slavery, and the larger pattern of character assassination within early Mormonism.We also explore Joseph's interaction with Illinois Governor Thomas Ford, the power of the Nauvoo Charter, and the increasingly emboldened posture of the church leadership as dissent intensified.This is a complex and uncomfortable chapter –one that forces us to wrestle with competing testimonies, public smears, loyalty under pressure, and the high cost of dissent.If you'd like to help keep this project going, please consider donating to support this series here.
