Why didn't the disciples recognize Jesus after His resurrection? My salvation experience was not emotional. It felt more like being convinced and wanting Jesus in my life. Is that enough? Does God show any favoritism? What are your thoughts on Mormonism? How about Church of Christ? I'm asking, because I'm making a decision about a long-term relationship.

This is the reading from Luke 20 in our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Good News of Great Joy reading guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Luke 20 challenges us to consider Jesus's authority, our response to it, and the reality of His Kingdom. As we prepare for Advent, let these truths shape our hearts: Recognize Jesus' Authority: The religious leaders resisted acknowledging Jesus's authority. This Advent, reflect on areas of your life where you need to submit more fully to Christ as Lord. Respond with Faith, Not Rejection: The parable of the wicked tenants reminds us that rejecting God's messengers leads to judgment. Consider how you can embrace Christ's message of salvation with gratitude and obedience. Give to God What Is His: Jesus taught the importance of giving to God what belongs to Him. During Advent, dedicate your time, talents, and treasures to His glory. Hope in the Resurrection: Jesus's teaching about the resurrection assures us of eternal life. Let this hope inspire joy and anticipation as you celebrate His first coming and await His return. Beware of Hypocrisy: Jesus rebuked the scribes for their pride and exploitation of others. Advent calls us to examine our hearts, repent of hypocrisy, and walk humbly with God. As you prepare for Christmas, may you honor Christ as the cornerstone of your faith, submit to His authority, and eagerly anticipate the fulfillment of His kingdom. You can find the written version of today's reading, complete with footnotes and commentary summaries, here.

John 20:11–14 “Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (NIV) 3 Obstacles That Cause People To Miss Jesus 1. Your emotions can cause you to miss Jesus John 20:13 “They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” (NIV) 2. Your disappointment can cause you to miss Jesus  John 20:15 “He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”  (NIV) 3. Your confusion can cause you to miss Jesus Ecclesiastes 11:5 As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. (NIV) John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (NIV) John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (NIV) John 20:16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). NIV) John 20:17-18 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.” (NIV)

Is the career, education, house, money, car, and family really enough? The rich young ruler. Can you relate? 1. He desires eternal life with God. 2. He is a good person. 3. He is seeking to find deeper meaning, purpose and peace in his life. How can we respond? 1. Be like children and follow Jesus. 2. Recognize Jesus is "Good" and, "No one is good except God alone." (Mark 10:18) 3. Recognize God's grace, through Jesus, who loves you, is the only way to eternal life.

We finish the Church Year and our sermon series with the parable of the sheep and goats from Matthew 25

Greg talks about the positive response of some Christians to an imitation of a Bible passage supposedly created by AI about transgenderism, then he answers questions about what the word “worship” should refer to and whether it's possible to tell if the congregation is truly worshiping.   Topics: Commentary: Christians should be able to recognize Jesus' voice. (00:00) Am I too concerned about people using the word “worship” to refer only to the music portion of the service? (42:00) Is it possible to tell if the congregation is truly worshiping?

Series: All! Jesus has all authority, So that all nationsMight pledge all allegiance to him.Title: “Where does Jesus Christ's Authority come from?”Scripture: Matthew 21:23-46Bottom line: Jesus gets ALL authority from God the Father who makes him Lord of all. Therefore, the only appropriate response is to gladly submit to him in ALL things—especially in the building of His Kingdom.DISCUSSION QUESTIONSSERMON OUTLINE & NOTESMAIN REFERENCES USEDDISCUSSION QUESTIONSDiscussion questions for group and personal study.

What are you going to do about it?Find our sermons, podcasts, discussion questions and notes at https://www.gracetoday.net/podcastOUTLINE & NOTESIntroductionJesus is living out his last 8 days in front of us as we head to the end of the book of Matthew. Keep in mind that Jesus is now letting it become known that he's the Messiah and King of Israel. He's no longer trying to keep this a secret.Jesus gets questioned by the chief Jewish priests and the elders of the people where he gets his authority. This isn't an unreasonable question, actually. After all, Jesus hasEntered Jerusalem as the coming Messiah King of Israel and did not refuse the messianic praises he received.Entered the temple and cleared (cursed?) it.Entered the temple and taught in it.So to question where he gets his authority is a reasonable even responsible question for them to ask. After all, they are responsible for what happens in the temple courts.And it's good to remember that all authority comes from someone unless that someone is God himself. Jesus will say his authority comes from God the Father.And he'll then show them the implications of his authority. To not acknowledge it and gladly submit to it in life is to go the way of these ungodly religious leaders. That is to be rejected by God.Story/Illustration: Lighthouse v Battleship The captain of the ship looked into the dark night and saw faint lights in the distance. Immediately he told his signalman to send a message” “Alter your course 10 degrees south.”Promptly a return message was received: “Alter your course 10 degrees north.”The captain was angered; his command had been ignored. So he sent a second message: “Alter your course 10 degrees south—I am the captain!”Soon another message was received: Alter your course 10 degrees north—I am seaman third class Jones.”Immediately the captain sent a third message, knowing the fear it would evoke: “Alter your course 10 degrees south—I am a battleship.”Then the reply came “Alter your course 10 degrees north—I am a lighthouse.”In the midst of our dark and foggy times, all sorts of voices are shouting orders into the night, telling us what to do, how to adjust our lives. Out of the darkness, one voice signals something quite opposite to the rest—something almost absurd. But the voice happens to be the Light of the World, and we ignore it at our peril. —Paul Aiello, Jr. Bottom line: Jesus gets ALL authority from God the Father who makes him Lord of all. Therefore, the only appropriate response is to gladly submit to him in ALL things—especially in the building of His Kingdom.OutlineI. Jesus' Authority Questioned: Matthew 21:23-27Q. What do I want you to know? A. Jesus' authority comes from his Father.Q. Why do I want you to know?A. Because there is no other authority worthy to be submitted to, ultimately.Q. What do I want you to do? A. Recognize Jesus' authority from the Father and gladly submit to him. Q. Why do I want you to do this?A. So that you will reap the blessings and miss the wrath.How? Pray with repentant faith now, early and often.II. Parable of the 2 Sons21:28-32Q. What do I want you to know?A. Israel's leaders (and many Jews) did not repent and believe thus rejecting Jesus as Messiah.Q. Why do I want you to know this?A. Because there are grave consequences for not submitting to his authority.Q. What do I want you to do?A. Trust, obey and follow Jesus like the sinners did—though they said no to his words, ways and works initially, they eventually repented and believed.How? Pray for God to open your eyes, trust, and follow him today.III. Parable of the Tenants21:33-46Q. What do I want you to know?A. Israel rejected God the Father (prophets), God the son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit (at Stephen's stoning).God is a stone/rock in scripture.To Israel, a stumbling block.To Church, a cornerstone and foundation.To Gentile kingdoms at end of age, smiting stone.Q. Why?A. So that we don't make the same mistake.Q. What do I want them to do?A. Build your life on the rock that doesn't roll or be crushed by him. Because the consequences are great!How? Pray, repent and believe that King Jesus deserves all your allegiance.Conclusion“You are more sinful and flawed than you ever dared believe. But more accepted and loved than you ever dared hope.” -Tim KellerA missionary to Africa told someone, “When we want to share the gospel in a village in Africa, we don't send them books. We send them a Christian family.”Why is it better to send the family than some books? It's certainly cheaper. Seems more efficient. But this experienced missionary understood that the Christian life lived like Jesus would demonstrate what glad submission to God would look like. The gospel wouldn't just be taught but caught. Bottom line: Jesus gets ALL authority from God the Father who makes him Lord of all. Therefore, the only appropriate response is to gladly submit to him in ALL things—especially in the building of His Kingdom.One true story that illustrates the authority of God involves a man named Louis Zamperini, who was a former Olympic runner and a prisoner of war during World War II. After his plane crashed into the ocean, Zamperini survived for over 47 days on a raft in shark-infested waters before being captured by the Japanese and taken to a prison camp.Despite facing torture, starvation, and daily beatings, Zamperini never lost his faith in God and continued to pray for strength and guidance. He even forgave his captors and used his influence to help his fellow prisoners. Eventually, Zamperini was released from the prison camp and went on to live a long and fulfilling life, crediting his survival and resilience to the authority of God.This true story shows how the authority of God can help people to endure and overcome unimaginable challenges. Even in the darkest of times, God's authority can provide people with the hope, courage, and strength they need to persevere and thrive. The true story of Louis Zamperini is a testament to the power of faith in the face of adversity.The Umbrella of AuthorityEach of us has a decision to make . Will we gladly step under the umbrella of God's good authority? Or will we step out from under it and be pelted by the world and evil as we resist God's commands? Grace and mercy are provided while we humbly remain underneath. God's justice is poured out on those who step out from under it. Where are you standing right now?Will you come underneath and obey God's commands to build his kingdom?God has shown us how to gladly submit to him all our days. Will you?Let's prayNOTESDSO notes, 21:23-37“So Jesus turns the tables on them again, saying in essence, ‘If you're not capable enough to judge John the Baptist as Heaven-sent, then you are certainly not capable to judge me.'” P. 613“You see, what John said about Jesus was the answer the their question. (That's what Jesus is getting at here.) And what did John say?” P. 614So there's the answer to their question (through J the B) and 3 parables illustrating this answer using 2 themes: faith and judgment. P. 614-615“With great authority Jesus teaches these authorities about his authority.” P. 6152 Lessons here:“The gates to God's kingdom open wide to the bluntly ungodly if they repent, but not a crack for the precisely orthodox if they do not.”“Show me your faith.” “To Jesus, one is not saved by talk alone…but by faith alone (“believe” 3x), a faith that is never alone (a faith that obeys the word/will/voice of God)—To Jesus, verbal faith is not saving faith; a doing faith is saving faith.” P. 61621:33-41Second parable—“Jesus gives a condensed symbolic (or allegorical) version of salvation history.” P. 6172 Lessons: “God is patient; God is just.”“God will judge those who don't accept his Son.”“God is patient; God is just. Don't try his patience; trust his Son.” P. 619So, “by what authority?”Everyone of us should ask this question.Here's the answer: “By God's authority. I am the Son he sent.”Here's the answer: “God did. I am the stone he set in place. By God's authority I am the Son, and I am the Stone.” P. 620MAIN REFERENCES USED“Preaching the Word” Commentary, Douglas Sean O'Donnell, Edited by Kent Hughes“Matthew” by RC Sproul“The Bible Knowledge Commentary” by Walvoord, Zuck (BKC)“The Bible Exposition Commentary” by Warren Wiersbe (BEC)“Exalting Jesus in Matthew” by David Platt (CCE)Outline Bible, D WillmingtonNIV Study Bible (NIVSB)ESV Study Bible (ESVSB)

Learning to Recognize Jesus in the Valleys and Not Just the Mountain Tops   As we continue looking at ways to hear from Jesus, we learn about how to recognize Jesus in all the moments of our lives…. The good and the bad.  I pray this episode blesses you.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday.

Is there a possibility you have seen Jesus passed him by?

Our Lord will always recognize us, even if we do not know him. When we do see Jesus, we must allow his impression on our hearts to change our lives. We must keep our eyes and hearts open to see the moments where Christ is. If we do not see Jesus, what else are we missing?

Learning to Recognize Jesus in the Valleys and Not Just the Mountain Tops- Spiritual Disciplines Intro- Day 3   So many people live for the mountain top experiences because that's when they feel closest to God. It's not that He isn't present in the valleys, we just need to learn how to recognize Him there.  People sometimes blame this on their pastors or the preaching instead of recognizing that the issue is their own relationship with God.  The spiritual disciplines will help us be intentional about growing that relationship.   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/ Missions Support-> https://www.cotni.org/campaigns/rachael-groll Want to go a little deeper?   Purchase the She Hears: Learning to Listen to Jesus Bible Study on my Etsy shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SheHearsShop?ref=profile_header   Also available on Amazon or wherever books are sold.   In this six-week study from the Book of John, Rachael Groll takes you on an in-depth exploration into the lives of six women Jesus knew.

This was one unusual walk - long, educational for sure...peculiar too. How I wish I could have been there! ‘You?

Do we always recognize Jesus?John 20:11-16 “ But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb;  and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”  When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.  Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher).”I was listening to this recount of the resurrection the other day and as soon as I heard these verses I thought, how many times have we seen Jesus and yet we didn't recognize Him?  Has this ever happened to you?  Have you ever had an encounter with Jesus and yet you didn't know it at the time?  Then when you look back you realize that must have been what it was?  I think this happens more often than we think it does.  God works through all of us.  Did you ever have someone give you a kind word at the exact moment that you needed it?  That was Jesus.  Did you ever have someone bail you out of a situation that you couldn't get out of?  That was Jesus.  Did you ever have something that seemed like a coincidence and yet at the same time it seemed to good to be true?  That was Jesus.  Just as Mary did  not recognize Jesus when she first saw Him after His resurrection, we will not always recognize Him.  We probably run into him several times a day and yet we don't recognize him.  He is in each one of us.  When you are being kind and showing love to others Jesus' light is shining through you.  You might not even know you are doing it, but God uses each of us to do His will.  We just need to listen for His promptings.  Did you ever get a feeling that you were supposed to call someone but you didn't know why?  Then when you called the person they said you made their day?  That was God using you.  Did you ever feel prompted to pray for someone, or give someone a hug and you didn't understand why?  That was God using you.  You were the face of Jesus for that person in need at that moment.  God has a plan and He allows us to be a part of it.  He allows us to be the face of Jesus to others.  Isn't that amazing?  Another thing I thought of when I reread this scripture is that Mary was so focused on what she was expecting to see, Jesus in the tomb that she didn't even realize what she was actually seeing. The verse says, “But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb;  and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.”  Mary looked in the tomb and saw two angels.  I feel as though that part is just skipped over.  Mary not only saw two angels, but they spoke to her, they asked her a question.  She answered them and told them who she was looking for and then she just turned away.  I wonder what was going through her mind.  I wonder how she could look at and talk to two angels and yet not even really care?  Just go about her day like something miraculous didn't just happen. It's almost as if she didn't realize they were angels.I wonder how many times we have done this?  I wonder how many times we have been presented with a miracle and we didn't notice it because it wasn't what we were looking for.  For instance, my husband was not a fan of his job at one point.  He had been looking for another job but couldn't find what he was looking for.  Then unexpectedly he had to leave his job that he didn't really like.  He was very upset and felt bad about it.  However, the job he got was so much better than the one he had.  It was actually everything he had been praying for, but didn't realize it because it didn't come in the way that he would have liked it to have come.  We do this a lot.  We ask God for things and then when He gives us what we want we don't recognize it if it doesn't look like we thought it would. We ask for a new job but then get upset when we loose the old one.  We ask for children but then get upset if that doesn't look like we thought it would.  Maybe we wanted boys and got girls, maybe we wanted 2 and got 3, whatever it is, we can fail to see the miracle sometimes because it looks different from what we thought it would.  Sometimes our miracles can come in very unexpected ways. Sometimes people find themselves working ridiculous hours at work, never seeing their families and as much as they want to stop, they just can't.  Then something happens, usually some sort of tragedy and they finally wake up and realize this tragedy was the miracle they needed to finally wake up and put their family first.  I hope you don't have to endure a tragedy to realize the miracles in your life.  We all have miracles in our lives, big ones and small ones.  If we are on the lookout for them then we will be more likely to see them.  Also, if we know that Jesus is all around us, and we are on the lookout for Him, we will start to see Him more as well.  The next time someone does something kind for you, know that is Jesus shining through them.  The next time you feel a prompting to do something kind, even if you don't know why and even if you don't understand it, do it.  Perhaps God is using you to be the face of Jesus for someone who really needs it.  God is calling each one of us to be his disciples.  Will you answer that call?Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we love you and we are sorry if we can't always recognize you.  We are sorry if our own expectations get in the way of us noticing the miracles you are blessing us with.  Lord, we ask that you open our eyes to see all the miracles that you do in our lives.  Big, or small, open our eyes to let us see them.  Lord, help us to hear your call and to listen to it.  You are so amazing and we miss somethings because we are so stuck in our own ways.  Helps us to get unstuck.  Sometimes we don't listen when your ask us to do something, help us to listen more and to do what you ask of us.  You are our alighting father and we ask that you help us obey your commands.  You are so good and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus holy name, amen.Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.  I look forward to spending time with you again tomorrow.  Have a blessed day!
