This passage is a narrative and narratives by nature contain characters. So we approached this passage through the perspective of the individuals we came across. We decided to give them nicknames to help you remember and relate to them. They are: 1) Governor Festus – the people pleaser (Vss 1-9) 2) The Religious Leaders – status-keepers (Vss 7, 24) 3) Paul – the Gospel preacher (Vss 8, 10-11) 4) King Agrippa & Bernice – the pleasure seekers (Vss 13, 23) 5) Jesus – The Life Changer (Vss 19-21, 26) The question at the end will be: Which one most represents you? Thanks for watching. God bless you! Thanks for listening. God bless you! To find out more about our church please go to www.whccnb.org.
I have some sympathy and compassion for the religious leaders of Jesus' day because it's hard to fully understand something while you're in the moment. Why did the Jews in authority turn against Jesus? What He was doing in the moment didn't make sense to them. It wasn't what they expected. When you're looking forward into the future or even in the moment, there's a certain level of ambiguity, a lack of clarity. There can be a lack of precision when trying to make sense of things in the moment. If you can look backward, there's clarity.
Pope Francis, the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, has died. He was 88, and had recently survived a serious bout of double pneumonia. His death comes after he appeared at the Vatican's St Peter's Square yesterday to wish "Happy Easter" to thousands of worshippers.

Sunday, April 13, 2025 – Palm Sunday! Also known as “The Triumphal Entry” this was the day when Jesus openly declared himself to be the King of the Jews and to be recognized as King of Kings for all men and for all eternity. This is certainly a day to be celebrated and honored above all others! However, not everyone in that crowd waving palm branches truly understood who Jesus was, so the message of that day was missed by many. Jesus knew this, and when He reflected on the state of those in Jerusalem at that time, He wept because most of the people didn’t recognize this as a day that God had visited them. They misunderstood the kingdom that Jesus came to rule over. They were expecting an earthly kingdom, while Jesus was offering them an eternal spiritual kingdom. It didn’t take but a few days for many in that crowd to start crying, “Crucify Him. " The question we pose today is this: Who is Jesus to you? If you were in that crowd, who would you be? Today, the same types of people exist in our society and in our churches. Are they receiving the message of Palm Sunday and Easter in the way Jesus intended? Think about this as you worship and study with us.

This week we are talking trust. Our communities have faced a lot of mistrust and we want to call out the reasons as to why leaders or supposed confidants, have abused their powers. It leaves us to ask, "Who Can We Trust?". We dive into some stories that have shook communities, and discuss how we can find solutions to navigating mistrust and finding trustful leaders. How are we holding people accountable? What can we do moving forward by not losing hope in communities and leaders overall? Let's talk about it—openly and honestly.

The lecture begins with a personal narrative reflecting on a pivotal moment in the speaker's life, referred to as the "water fountain event". This recollection occurs during a challenging period marked by their father's struggles with addiction and eventual death. The speaker shares their initial joy and hope in leaning on Jesus, which later transforms into feelings of bitterness and anger following their father's passing. This dichotomy between outward appearance and inner turmoil sets the stage for a deep exploration of the themes of hypocrisy and spiritual integrity, particularly as they relate to the Pharisees and religious leaders of the time.Transitioning from personal experience, the speaker delves into a critical examination of the scriptural passage from Luke 11:37-54, which outlines the "woes" directed at the Pharisees. The speaker argues that Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees reveals a greater concern for inner transformation over external appearances. The Pharisees are positioned as individuals who are obsessed with ritual cleanliness while neglecting the more profound moral and ethical obligations, such as justice and love for God. The speaker draws parallels between the behavior of the Pharisees and contemporary issues within the church, challenging the audience to reflect on their motivations and the authenticity of their faith.As the lecture progresses, the speaker provides detailed insights into Jesus' language and responses towards the Pharisees, especially regarding their misplaced priorities. In articulating the "woes," the speaker emphasizes that they are expressions of deep disappointment rather than vindictive anger. The message highlights that the essence of religious practices, such as tithing, should stem from genuine love and compassion, rather than become a mere exercise in rules that leads to spiritual distortion.The concept of inner transformation is further unpacked as the speaker invites the audience to examine their own faith and how it aligns with Jesus' teachings. They explore the difference between genuine faith and a burdensome religious system that stifles growth and hinders others from experiencing the hope of the gospel. The call is to pursue a faith characterized by love, compassion, and active engagement in the lives of others, rather than one that merely seeks recognition or status.The lecture also touches on the failure of religious leaders to guide their followers toward the true spirit of the law, instead of creating barriers that alienate them from God. The speaker contrasts the burden of legalism with the lightness of Jesus' message, encapsulating the idea of living out faith through loving actions rather than rigid adherence to dogma. The importance of repentance is highlighted as a means to realign with God's will, emphasizing that repentance brings freedom rather than condemnation.In concluding the lecture, the speaker reiterates significant takeaways, urging the audience to pursue an authentic faith journey marked by transformation, genuine love, and a spirit of unity. They reflect on the lasting impact of their own experiences of disappointment and anger, urging others to prioritize inner change over external validation. The session finishes with a heartfelt invitation to embrace a faith that mirrors Jesus' teachings, aiming for a community defined by love and reconciliation rather than conflict and division. The speaker emphasizes the power of shared understanding and compassion, positioning these values as essential for both personal and communal spiritual growth.

Has anyone ever tried to JAM you—to BACK you into a rhetorical corner? What did you do? Have you ever stopped to think about what JESUS did when the RELIGIOUS LEADERS and POLITICIANS of his day tried to trap him? He responded shrewdly so that his viewpoint, his message, was never silenced. Jesus was a master at flipping the tables when someone tried to trap him or jam Him. He had two basic methods, and today we are going to talk about one of them.

With your co-hostesses: Pam Blizzard from RecoveredPeace.com Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com Help Us Help Others Listen now: Lyschel and Pam had other obligations, so I, Bonny will be speaking with a special guest today – Dr. Barb Steffens! Barb is the retired founder of the association of partners of sex addicts trauma specialists, or APSATS. APSATS was a response to her empirically supported work that betrayed partners are traumatized by the discovery of their spouses problematic sexual behavior and should be supported through the lens of trauma, not co-dependence. Barb now focuses on helping better equip religious leaders to care for marriages that are struggling through the discovery of problematic sexual behavior. Today, our topic is “How Religious Leaders Can Serve Betrayed Couples Well.” We Will be Discussing: What is institutional trauma or institutional betrayal? What are some things that religious leaders could do to minimize spiritual trauma when they are working with a marriage that has deceptive sexuality? What are some obstacles that keep religious leaders from following up with a couple where the wife has newly discovered sexually problematic behavior? What are some resources that religious leaders could tap into to learn more? What hope can we leave our listeners?
