Discover the profound lessons behind Judas' betrayal and the impactful story of Jonah in our latest episode of the More Faith, More Life podcast. Pastor Steve Gray and his wife Kathy guide us through these biblical narratives, focusing on the transformative power of a renewed mindset and the consequences of veering away from God's message. With insights from Steve's book, "Mighty Like Gideon," you'll uncover the surprising truth behind the storm that threatened Jonah and the sailors. Our discussion promises to enrich your faith and encourage a deeper exploration of biblical truths, offering fresh interpretations that will challenge and inspire.Key Takeaways:Judas' betrayal of Jesus highlights the dangers of a rigid, untransformed mindset, as well as the importance of alignment with divine purpose.Parable of the nobleman (Luke 19) illustrates the principle of multiplying God-given gifts and resources to advance His kingdom.God's kingdom operates on the premise of faith and responsibility, rewarding those who actively invest and grow His gifts.Contrary to societal notions of equal distribution, biblical stewardship involves rewarding productivity and responsible growth with more resources.How to recognize and utilize your talents for kingdom growth while understanding God's principles on resources and investment.

In this powerful and soul-stirring episode of The ME Show, Ali Mehdaoui and Tanya Tenica dive into a raw and reflective dialogue sparked by The Chosen — the hit series retelling the lives of Jesus' disciples.What starts as light banter quickly transforms into a deep revelation on spiritual identity, personal growth, and the modern-day parallels of Peter, Matthew, and Judas. With help from their AI companion (yes, ChatGPT), they unpack which disciple they each resonate with most — and why it changes everything about how they lead, live, and build.

Message Summary (by OpenAI) Title: “Lord, Teach Us to Pray – Part Two: Kingdom, Power, and Glory Forever” Speaker: Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Main Text: Luke 11:1 | Matthew 6:9–13 Introduction Dr. Bryan Hudson continues his teaching series based on the Disciples' request to Jesus in Luke 11:1, “Lord, teach us to pray.” The message narrows in on the concluding phrase of what is commonly known as the Lord's Prayer: “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13) Rather than a line to recite, this statement is a declaration of divine ownership, authority, and purpose. Dr. Hudson emphasizes that believers are called not only to pray this truth, but to live in it, sustain it, and ultimately become kingdom. I. Immersed in the Kingdom of God Not just experiencing the Kingdom — Believers are called to become Kingdom. Like language immersion makes one fluent, immersion in God's ways makes believers fluent in the Kingdom. Jesus taught us to prioritize God's reign: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”(Matthew 6:33) Key Statement: “If you seek the Kingdom, things will find you. You don't have to chase after blessings.” II. How to Sustain God's Kingdom, Power, and Glory in Your Life Dr. Hudson identifies four foundational principles that sustain a life infused with God's presence and purpose: 1. Faith in God Trusting God's character and promises. Root of spiritual stability and resilience. 2. Prayer Ongoing, intentional communication with God. Modeled by Jesus and commanded to His disciples. 3. Quality Decisions Definition: A decision made with clarity, alignment to God's Word, with no retreat. Quality decisions reflect maturity and purpose. They allow believers to move forward without being hindered by past mistakes. Examples of Quality Decisions: Moses choosing to suffer with God's people (Hebrews 11). Ruth choosing loyalty to Naomi, leading to her place in Jesus' lineage. Jesus choosing God's will over His own in Gethsemane. Examples of Poor Decisions: Esau trading his birthright for temporary satisfaction. Saul disobeying God and offering unauthorized sacrifices. Judas betraying Jesus. 4. Agreement The power of walking in unity with others in purpose and direction. Dr. Hudson explains Amos 3:3 as “agreement to walk together,” not “agreement on everything.” True agreement requires shared purpose and relational unity, not identical opinions. III. The Power of Agreement A. Biblical Agreement Matthew 18:19–20: Jesus promises to be present where two or three are gathered in His name. Agreement brings authority: binding and loosing — declaring what is proper or improper according to God's will. Agreement leads to divine presence and intervention. B. Misused Agreement: Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) The people were united, speaking one language, and agreed to build a tower to glorify themselves. God intervened by confusing their language, breaking their agreement, because: They were united in self-exaltation. The principle of agreement was valid, but the purpose was wrong. Key Insight: “Right principle, wrong people, wrong purpose.” IV. Biblical Unity and Corporate Purpose A. 1 Corinthians 3:9 “For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building.” Without agreement in purpose and practice, there is no fruitful ministry. The church must function in unity, not uniformity. B. Psalm 133 Unity is compared to oil flowing from the head of Aaron — symbolizing divine blessing and anointing. Unity is the place of commanded blessing. V. Application to Life and Ministry A. In Marriage and Relationships Agreement doesn't require total sameness, but commitment to shared purpose. Dr. Hudson uses humorous examples from his marriage to illustrate mutual compromise and unity. B. In Church Life God's power is available, but we must come into agreement and unity to access it. No agreement = No blessing. The power and glory of God are not “awaited” — they are present and available when we are aligned with His kingdom. VI. Confession of Faith, Unity, and Purpose The sermon concluded with a corporate confession, reinforcing the message's themes. Believers affirmed that they: Walk in purpose Live in divine power Make quality decisions Serve with unity Are becoming “kingdom” through immersion in God's ways Are fellow workers, fields, and buildings of God “Forever starts today.” Agreement with God and one another allows believers to experience His kingdom, power, and glory in their lives now, not only in eternity. Final Charge and Prayer Summit Invitation Pastor Hudson invited the church to a corporate prayer summit, underscoring the importance of gathering in agreementas a church body. He exhorted believers to show up physically, not just spiritually, emphasizing that God is waiting on us, not the other way around.

EP 135 | T4E17Hechos de los Apóstoles 9Conversión de Saulo1Mientras tanto, Saulo pronunciaba amenazas en cada palabra y estaba ansioso por matar a los seguidores del Señor. Así que acudió al sumo sacerdote. 2Le pidió cartas dirigidas a las sinagogas de Damasco para solicitarles su cooperación en el arresto de los seguidores del Camino que se encontraran ahí. Su intención era llevarlos —a hombres y mujeres por igual— de regreso a Jerusalén encadenados.3Al acercarse a Damasco para cumplir esa misión, una luz del cielo de repente brilló alrededor de él. 4Saulo cayó al suelo y oyó una voz que le decía:—¡Saulo, Saulo! ¿Por qué me persigues?5—¿Quién eres, señor? —preguntó Saulo.—Yo soy Jesús, ¡a quien tú persigues! —contestó la voz—. 6Ahora levántate, entra en la ciudad y se te dirá lo que debes hacer.7Los hombres que estaban con Saulo se quedaron mudos, porque oían el sonido de una voz, ¡pero no veían a nadie! 8Saulo se levantó del suelo, pero cuando abrió los ojos, estaba ciego. Entonces sus acompañantes lo llevaron de la mano hasta Damasco. 9Permaneció allí, ciego, durante tres días sin comer ni beber.10Ahora bien, había un creyente en Damasco llamado Ananías. El Señor le habló en una visión, lo llamó:—¡Ananías!—¡Sí, Señor! —respondió.11El Señor le dijo:—Ve a la calle llamada Derecha, a la casa de Judas. Cuando llegues, pregunta por un hombre de Tarso que se llama Saulo. En este momento, él está orando. 12Le he mostrado en visión a un hombre llamado Ananías que entra y pone las manos sobre él para que recobre la vista.13—¡Pero Señor! —exclamó Ananías—. ¡He oído a mucha gente hablar de las cosas terribles que ese hombre les ha hecho a los creyentes de Jerusalén! 14Además, tiene la autorización de los sacerdotes principales para arrestar a todos los que invocan tu nombre.15El Señor le dijo:—Ve, porque él es mi instrumento elegido para llevar mi mensaje a los gentiles  y a reyes, como también al pueblo de Israel; 16y le voy a mostrar cuánto debe sufrir por mi nombre.17Así que Ananías fue y encontró a Saulo, puso sus manos sobre él y dijo: «Hermano Saulo, el Señor Jesús, quien se te apareció en el camino, me ha enviado para que recobres la vista y seas lleno del Espíritu Santo». 18Al instante, algo como escamas cayó de los ojos de Saulo y recobró la vista. Luego se levantó y fue bautizado. 19Después comió algo y recuperó las fuerzas.

Judas prepara su traición Luc 22:3 Y entró Satanás en Judas, por sobrenombre Iscariote, el cual era uno del número de los doce; Luc 22:4 y éste fue y habló con los principales sacerdotes, y con los jefes de la guardia, de cómo se lo entregaría. Luc 22:5 Ellos se alegraron, y convinieron en darle dinero. Luc 22:6 Y él se comprometió, y buscaba una oportunidad para entregárselo a espaldas del pueblo.

From Disappointment to Trust: Finding God in Life's Losses The Homily begins with a reflection on a meaningful encounter . . . . . . with a young man who plays soccer with their group but avoids communal prayer due to a personal crisis of faith following his mother's death. The young man had prayed fervently for her healing, but when she died, he lost faith. Joseph's Trials As Part of a Larger Plan In response, the Homily shares the first reading story of Joseph, who endured betrayal, suffering, and injustice before ultimately being elevated by God to save many. The message is that our hardships may be part of a greater divine plan, and we are called to trust God even when we don't understand our suffering. The Homily continues with the Gospel account of Jesus sending out the twelve disciples, including Judas, emphasizing that Jesus chose imperfect people because he trusted in their capacity to grow and change. The central theme is that God does not require perfection, but trust, commitment, and openness to transformation. The faithful are encouraged to share Christ with a world hungry for truth and to live in alignment with God's will rather than personal ambition. Why? Hear more in this Meditation piece.

It is often said that every modern welfare system, from the Roman grain dole to the SNAP card at the grocery store, carries the seeds of its own discontent. These systems promise that the collective will carry the burdens of the vulnerable. But they are haunted by a tension older than any bureaucracy: the uneasy craving to see helplessness displayed. To give freely feels good; but to give freely to someone who does not look sufficiently broken or scraping is to stir a resentment no modern slogan can cover.The old village beggar knew this instinctively. He made himself legless, or at least seemed so, rolling on a pallet, bowl tapping his stick, eyes down. He knew to keep the ruined coat for the street and the decent tunic for home. We might call this fraud now, but it was a moral theatre everyone understood: visible ruin earned the coin; hidden dignity stayed private. If the village lost patience, there was no Caesar's office to back him up. The beggar starved or found another corner.What people forget is that even Jesus did not spin up an endless pity machine. He broke loaves and fishes — but He did not invoice Rome for it. When He healed, He did not say, “Stay here on the mat forever so they know you deserve your crust.” He said: “Get up. Take your mat and walk. Show yourself to the priest.” The mat was temporary. The pity was transitional. When the crowd showed contempt, He did not beg: “And He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” No forced miracle. No charity for the ungrateful. “Shake the dust from your feet. It will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah.”The trouble now is that we pretend to want the poor whole — yet the system depends on them staying visibly needy. The taxpayer votes for the teat to keep flowing but wants the scraping to feel real. If the stumps turn out to be legs, if the mat rolls away too soon, the moral contract snaps. Oh SNAP. The same voice that funds endless foreign wars without flinching will rage at the sight of a welfare recipient standing too straight with a phone or fresh shoes. The sin is not the cost but the pride that threatens to make giver and receiver look too equal.So the beggar learns to play his part. The system, ironically, rewards the subtle con: visible ruin, murmured gratitude, hidden dignities that never leak. But the internet complicates this fragile show — the double life is now broadcast and clipped. The mat is public. The hidden tunic leaks out. The bowl knocks the stick while the other hand posts a joke about scamming the system. The audience sees it and cries, “Fraud!” not because they think every poor man is faking, but because the script cracked on camera.What Jesus knew — and the modern pity machine can't grasp — is that mercy moves on when mocked. There is no endless subsidy for the willfully broken. He never asked Judas to keep the purse open forever. He never told Caesar to levy a tax for those who refuse to stand. “You received without charge; give without charge.” But once the bread is broken, you either stand up or you do not. There is no third option. The healed must leave the mat behind. If they will not — or worse, if they stand up and keep asking for scraps — they force the giver to choose: keep the teat open, or snap it shut.The real disease is not fraud itself but the quiet demand that fraud become ritual. The mat must stay visible, the scraping performative, the healed must display sickness at the right moment to keep the teat alive. This is not Christian mercy. This is the Company Store with a halo, built on a moral economy that does not want the poor to disappear but to remain forever “almost healed.”Jesus offered a harder gift: stand up, walk, or live with your ruin. If you spit on the bread, He will feed you no more. No SNAP card, no empire's pity machine, no endless cost center. Just the Kingdom — or your mat.

Gary discusses a few "contradictions" commonly pointed out by critics. These textual "issues" seem to be difficult on the surface, but a bit of deeper reading makes it obvious that these "problems" with the Biblical text are not really problems at all. Christians must read in order to understand, and recognize that differences in how things are reported in the Bible are theologically significant and add depth and layers to the text as a whole.

Todaywe are moving on to a new chapter, Luke 23. This chapter tells us about thetrial of Jesus and His crucifixion and death on the cross. We believe this isone of the great chapters of the Bible, along with the other Gospel accounts ofJesus giving His life on the cross for you and me. This is the climax of humanhistory where God Himself literally goes to a cross and pays the payment forour sins. Several things stand out as we look at this chapter.  Tounderstand the setting, let's remember Jesus has been up all night long. OnThursday, Jesus prepared for the Passover meal with the disciples. Thatevening, they observed and ate the Passover meal in the Upper Room. In John 13through John 17, Jesus is talking to His disciples, preparing them with somelast words, giving them the comfort of the Holy Spirit who will come after Hehas ascended to heaven. So many things are taking place. Judas goes out intothe night to get the temple guard to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Thenafter Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper, they sing a hymn.  Jesusgoes deeper into the Garden, and there He prays those three prayers: "NotMy will but Thine be done." He says, "Take this cup from Me."That cup, we believe, represented the sins of all humanity, and Jesus wouldbecome sin for us. In the middle of the night, Judas shows up at the gardenwith a guard from the temple and arrests Jesus. They take Him to Annas's house,then to Caiaphas's house, and finally, as the sun rises and Peter has deniedthe Lord three times, they take Jesus to the Sanhedrin, where He is triedunfairly for the third time by the Jews.  Nowhere in Luke 23, we read that in the early morning hours, after the Sanhedrincondemns Him, they take Him to Pilate. We know that Jesus was crucified at thethird hour, which would have been 9:00 in the morning. At the sixth hour of Hiscrucifixion, three hours into the cross, the sun refused to shine. It wentdark. For the next three hours, until 3:00 in the afternoon, the sun did notshine. We're convinced that during those hours, Jesus paid the full payment forour sins. Over all six hours, Jesus is paying the price on the cross. We'lltalk about the seven sayings of Christ later, but here we see Jesus paying thefull price for our sin, being the propitiation for them, satisfying the wrathof God against the sins of humanity.  Jesusfulfilled the law as the innocent Lamb of God and fully paid for our sins,declaring in His last words on the cross, "It is finished." All thisbegins at 9:00 in the morning when Jesus is crucified. What we read now in Lukechapter 23, as He goes before Pilate for three different trials, happenssomewhere between the early morning hours of the Sanhedrin trying Him and Hiscrucifixion at 9am.  Canyou imagine how physically, emotionally, and mentally worn-out Jesus must havebeen during this time?  Oh,what a Savior! When we study this chapter, we will see both the evilness of menand the goodness of God. I can't help but think about that tree in the Gardenof Eden, called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God forbadeAdam and Eve to eat from. When they ate of it, they brought sin into the world.Now we are reminded of that tree again because Jesus will die and be hung on atree—a tree that represents the knowledge of good and evil.  Therewe see the great love of God, the goodness of God, the mercy of God, thewonderful sacrifice of God at that cross. At the same time, we see evil mencrucifying the most innocent, precious, sinless, blameless, stainless Son ofGod on that cross. Oh, what a scene. As we look at Luke chapter 23, I trustyou'll read it through several times and take into your heart all that Jesusdid for you and me. God bless!

Harvest Church Arroyo Grande - Sunday July 6th, 2025   “Jesus Is All About Redemption” — drawn from John  13:18–30 — takes us into one of the most sobering and revealing moments in the Gospels: the betrayal by Judas. In contrast to Jesus' example of humble service, Judas represents pride, secrecy, and ultimate rebellion. Yet even toward Judas, Jesus extended grace.   In this message, Pastor Steve Henry reminds us that Jesus knew Judas' heart — yet He still washed his feet. He still offered the bread. He still extended a chance to repent.   This sermon walks us through:   1. The contrast between Jesus' humility and Judas' betrayal   2. The prophetic fulfillment of Psalm 41:9   3. God's ongoing invitation to choose life and redemption

Today we study Judas' betrayal of Jesus, and specifically consider the testimony of Peter in that hour to learn lessons about the danger of personal pride.

Segment 1: • What makes us different from machines? Todd unpacks the doctrine of Imago Dei and how AI is blurring the lines between man and machine. • A Christianity Today issue surprisingly focuses on AI—but how helpful was it really? • Baylor gets a grant to study why Christianity "hurts" LGBT students. Todd explores the deeper problem behind that question. • AI algorithms are shaping addictive social media habits—and possibly shaping your soul. Segment 2: • What is intelligence? And what makes human intelligence unique? • Todd explains how Christians are turning to their theological catalogs to make sense of AI's rise. • With machines giving life advice and learning faster than ever, the question looms: Should they get human rights? Segment 3: • Could robots someday replace your pastor? A wild idea, but maybe not far off. • Christianity Today's AI issue wasn't all bad—Todd shares what was decent and what wasn't. • Are we made for this speed of life? Internet and urban living may be rewiring our brains in harmful ways. Segment 4: • A moment of honesty: Todd gives credit to a few C.T. articles. • But Christine Caine's “testimony” in the same issue raises red flags—comparing her sin to Judas's betrayal. • Was Jesus inviting Judas to repent? Todd tackles the theology—and calls out false narratives with clarity. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Canright encontró la misión de su vida al convertirse en orador elocuente y escritor con grandes habilidades y dones que ofrecía a la Iglesia Adventista. Pronto se convirtió en presidente de Asociación y era parte de la junta de la Asociación General, pero la duda y el desánimo lograron invadir su corazón y se apartó del ministerio. Dos años más tarde reconoció su error y volvió a las filas. Entre las actividades sobresalientes que realizó mientras fue un fiel adventista, encontramos su desempeño como profesor de Biblia en el colegio de Battle Creek, fue autor de diversas lecciones de escuela sabática, la publicación de un libro y varios folletos.Lamentablemente, dos años más tarde, sus dudas volvieron y desertó nuevamente de su fe. Entonces el Señor envió un sueño a Elena G. de White para advertir a Canright el peligro que corría. En el sueño se le advertía que el barco en el que estaba viajando, aunque azotado por los vientos y empapado por las aguas, era el lugar más seguro si quería conservar su vida. El mismo capitán del barco le dijo que no se bajara, pero Canright insistía en que su barco iba a hundirse, por lo cual quería cambiarse a otra embarcación. Este barco ha de naufragar, -dijo Canright - lo puedo ver tan claramente como si ya hubiese sucedido. Entonces el capitán respondió: «No permitiré que usted pierda su vida subiendo a otra embarcación engañosa».Lamentablemente, ni aun con esta advertencia, logró salvar su vida. Antes de sus 50 años se había dedicado a escribir libros que atacaban a la Iglesia Adventista. Se le recuerda como un señor mayor, alto, sin un ojo, mal vestido, con las uñas largas y sucias que entraba a la cocina de Battle Creek por la puerta trasera con un cupón de comida gratis."Jesús lo sabe todo, no podemos engañarlo. Enfoquemos nuestras habilidades y nuestro corazón en el plan trazado para salvarnos.

In this powerful message from Luke 22, we step into the Upper Room and discover the heart of Jesus on the night before His crucifixion. Pastor Blake unpacks the meaning behind the Last Supper—not just as a historical event, but as an invitation for every believer to see more clearly the grace and intentionality of Christ. Through the betrayal of Judas, the pride of the disciples, and Peter's coming denial, we're reminded that Jesus knew it all—and still chose to share the table with them. Why? Because the Lord's Supper is more than a meal. It reminds us that:- God is intimately involved in the details of our lives- Jesus deeply desires to be with His people- We're invited to examine our hearts for faith, service, repentance, and commitmentThis sermon challenges us to slow down and examine ourselves before we take communion. Are we walking in faith? Are we serving others? Are we ready to turn back where we've fallen short? And are we truly committed to following Jesus, no matter the cost?Pull up a chair. There's room at the table.

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: http://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Jul06.pdf * Four weeks ago we turned to the final day of Jesus the Messiah's earthly life and ministry with the consideration of Judas' decision to betray Jesus. Since then, we examined the Passover Seder that Jesus held with His disciples and Jesus' example of having a Servant's Heart (to lead by humbly serving). * Today, we finish a two-week look at Luke's account of Jesus warning His disciples of trouble that is coming, with specific warning to Simon Peter, followed by Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives, Judas' betrayal of Jesus, Jesus' arrest, and Peter's three denials of Jesus. These events are connected; Jesus' warning and example show us that prayer is the key to avoiding temptation, to successfully handling a troublesome situation, and that without it we are likely to succumb to temptation – Judas fails by going through with the betrayal, Peter fails by denying Christ. * Meanwhile, Jesus succeeds! He does not enter into temptation. Rather, Jesus goes forward with carrying out the will of the Father. In the process, Jesus demonstrates great love for us: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.” – John 15:12

"Então, Judas, o que O traiu, vendo que Jesus fora condenado, tocado de remorso, devolveu as trinta moedas de prata aos principais sacerdotes e aos anciãos, dizendo: Pequei, traindo sangue inocente. Eles, porém, responderam: Que nos importa? Isso é contigo." Mateus 27:3,4 (ARA)"Ou não sabeis que todos quantos fomos batizados em Jesus Cristo fomos batizados na Sua morte?De sorte que fomos sepultados com Ele pelo batismo na morte; para que, como Cristo foi ressuscitado dentre os mortos, pela Glória do Pai, assim andemos nós também em novidade de vida." Romanos 6:3-4

In Chapter 27 of Matthew Judas realizes he has made a terrible mistake in betraying Jesus. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Jesus would allow himself to be arrested. He comes in to the leaders and confesses his wrong doing and makes restitution as best he could by returning the money they had paid him to betray Jesus. And Yet the guilt and shame is so overwhelming he goes out and takes his own life. He just cannot live with himself a moment longer. The end of the wicked is foreshadowed in the death of Judas. The trial of Jesus proceeds even though Pilate and others make it evident that He is innocent.

The sheep's coat shall be stripped off the wolf's back! William Dyer, 1632-1696 Numbers 23:10, "Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my end be like theirs!" There is no living a life that is wicked, and then dying a death that is righteous. Oh, that men would but deal truly with their own souls! Many talk like a Christian, but few walk like a Christian. Many know what is to be done, but never do what is to be done. Many wear Christ's livery, but do the devil's drudgery! Many have hands as white as snow, whose hearts are as black as Hell! Many appear righteous, who are only righteous in their appearance. But such as deceive others with a false show of holiness, only deceive themselves with a false hope of happiness! Remember, sirs, that the sheep's coat shall be stripped off the wolf's back! "They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves!" Matthew 7:15 Oh sirs, that you would consider well these weighty things! Tell me, sir: What did Judas get by all his deceitful dealings? Nothing but a noose, in which his body was hanged; and a fire, in which his soul was burned!

Summer is here officially, and to ring it in, Adam and Cole are paid a visit by LA nightlife fixture and sexy content creator, Judas King. Having made a connection while working the Hot Dog Sunday parties in LA together, Adam invited Judas to share his origin story of growing up in Northern California with an adoptive Mormon family, and the bumpy road that lead to his unique place in the queer zeitgeist. From the early days of Guys in Sweatpants, to stripping, to go-go dancing, to the delicate dance of handling sugar daddies, Judas has paved his way in the industry in a manner all his own, shooting scenes with thicker boys and even a snaky split tongue to add to his signature. There's nobody like Judas King, and we barely scratch the surface. Sorry!

Jesushas been praying with His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane when Judasshows up with a “multitude” of the temple guards to arrest Jesus. To get thefull picture of this event, I highly recommend that you read all four Gospelaccounts. John tells us that Jesus “went forth” to meet Judas and those withhim and asked, “Whom are you seeking?” They answered, “Jesus of Nazareth” andJesus said, “I am He”. At those words, God released the radiance of His glory,and it literally knocked Judas and all the mob to the ground (John 18:1-12).  Matthewtells us that this is when Judas gets up and greets Jesus saying, “Hail Master”and then kisses Jesus. Jesus calls him “Friend” and the officers came and “laidhands on Jesus and took Him” (Matthew 26:47-56).Itwas then that the disciples remembered (and misunderstood) His words about thesword (Luke 22:35-38), so they asked Him if now was the time to make use oftheir two swords. Without waiting for the answer, Peter rushed ahead andattacked a man who turned out to be Malchus, a servant to the high priest (John18:10, 26-27). Whydid Peter do this? For one thing, he had to back up the boastful words he hadspoken in the Upper Room (Luke 22:33) and again on the way to the Garden (Matt.26:30-35). Someone rightly said, “Peter had been sleeping when he should havebeen praying, talking when he should have been listening, and boasting when heshould have been fearing. Now he was fighting when he should have beensurrendering!” Petermade a number of serious mistakes when he attacked Malchus with his sword. Tobegin with, Peter was fighting the wrong enemy with the wrong weapon. We mustalways remember that our enemies are not flesh and blood, and they cannot bedefeated with ordinary weapons (2 Cor. 10:3-6; Eph. 6:10-18). In His wildernesstemptations, Jesus defeated Satan with the Word of God (Matt. 4:1-11), and thatis the weapon we must use (Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12). Peteralso revealed the wrong attitude and trusted the wrong energy. While Jesus wassurrendering, Peter was busy declaring war! This reveals that he was dependingon "the arm of flesh." His whole approach to the situation was not atall Christlike (John 18:36) and stands as a good warning to us today. The lostworld may act this way, but it is not the way God's servants should act (Matthew12:19; 2 Timothy 2:24). Jesus had taught His disciples and us that: “love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you,and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may besons of your Father in heaven…” (Matthew 5:38-45). Itis just like Jesus to act in grace when others are acting in malice (Psalms103:10). He showed grace to Peter by rebuking his presumptuous sin andrepairing the damage he had done. He showed grace to Malchus, a lowly slave, byhealing his ear, and He showed grace to the whole world by willingly yieldingHimself to the mob and going to Calvary. He did not come to judge but to save(Luke 19:10).  John 3:16-17 reminds us: “For God did notsend His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world throughHim might be saved.” OurLord's last miracle before the cross was not a big flashy thing that attractedattention. It is likely that very few of the men who were there that night evenknew what Peter and Jesus had done. Jesus could have summoned twelve legions ofangels (Matthew 26:53), one legion (6,000 soldiers) for each of the elevendisciples and one for Himself, but He did not. Instead of performing somespectacular feat, He lovingly healed the ear of an obscure slave and thenpresented His hands to be bound. Eachof us must decide whether we will go through life pretending, like Judas; orfighting, like Peter; or yielding to God's perfect will, like Jesus. Today, willit be the kiss of betrayal, the sword of the flesh, or the cup of surrender tothe will of God?Godbless!

Send us a textActs 15:24-35We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”So when they were sent off, they went down to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter. And when they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement. And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many words. And after they had spent some time, they were sent off in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them. But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.Support the show

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we continue to look at Luke chapter 22. At this point,we're with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. He's been praying with three ofHis disciples—Peter, James, and John. They've been sleeping while He's beenpraying. Interestingly,one version says that Jesus said, “Then cometh he to his disciples, andsaith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand,and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us begoing: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.” (Matthew 26:45-46, KJV). I always wondered why Jesus would say,"Sleep on now, rise, let us be going." One of my devotionals pointedout that Jesus is saying, "Okay, wake up. Let it rest. You've beensleeping when you should have been praying. You can't reverse that. You shouldhave been seeking the face of God, watching for the temptation that was goingto come. Now it's too late to do that, so leave it behind you. Rise up, let'sbe going."  Wehave many failures in our lives. We need to let them sleep on, forgetting thethings which are behind and reaching for those things which are before. WhileHe was still speaking to the disciples and encouraging them to get up, Luketells us, "Behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of thetwelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him." But Jesussaid to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"  I'veentitled this devotional "Betrayed with a Kiss." It makes me thinkabout the fact that here is Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Psalms 41:9,tells us that the Psalmist is referring to Jesus when He says, "My ownfamiliar friend who ate bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me."So here is Jesus, a friend of Judas. In fact, one of the Gospels tells us thatHe actually called him friend when he came to betray Him (Matthew 26:57). Jesushas given Judas every opportunity to repent. Yet Judas, with a deceitful heart,with a hypocritical kiss—a sign of affection, love, and respect, which was howa student would greet their rabbi to show honor—comes and betrays Him.  TheGospel of Matthew tells us that Judas had told the group of soldiers and thechief priest, that he would give them a sign saying, “Whomsoever I shall kiss,the same is he, hold him fast" (Matthew 26:48).  He planned on betraying Jesus with a kiss. Howhypocritical is that? He would look like the friend and disciple of Jesus. "Faithfulare the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful"(Proverbs 27:6). Jesussays, "Are you going to betray Me with a kiss?" Don't youthink the Lord says that to you and me today in many ways? We go to church,sing the songs, lift up our hands, praise the Lord, worship with otherbelievers, and maybe even go to the altar and pray. But then we leave thechurch and live for self, the world, or the devil. We are betraying the Lordwith a kiss.  WhenJudas went and asked the chief priest, "How can I betray Jesus?" theyoffered thirty pieces of silver. It was as if he sold his soul to the devil. Weknow that at the supper with Jesus, Satan entered into him. He sold his soul tothe devil. When we make a choice to exchange Jesus for the world, you becomeservants to whom you yield yourselves to obey (Romans 6:16). Jesus on anearlier occasion had said, “This people draw nigh to me with their mouths,and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me” (Matthew15:8).  So,my friend, we don't want to be in the position of a Judas. Make sure that ourkiss for Jesus is truly genuine from our hearts, honoring Him. Let's cling toJesus, just as Ruth did to Naomi. Orpah kissed her and went the other way, backto her gods in Moab, but Ruth clung to Naomi (Ruth 1:14-18). May we cling toJesus today and show Him our love with our life every moment of every day.  Isyour heart close to Jesus today or is it far away?Godbless!

Technology is amazing; it lets us do everything from our jobs to ordering food without ever leaving our home. That's great, right? Well, actually, it turns out that some new data shows that loneliness and depression are at record levels, particularly among the younger generations, and most particularly in men. Our parishes were supposed to be a place where we gather to connect, support, and reach each other. Instead, too many people pull a Judas - receive the sacrament and run away. Join me in the next episode of Catholic Life Coach For Men as my guest Terry Poplava discuss this survey data and some practical ideas about what we all can do to help make a difference. We need human connection; the data is overwhelming. We need to reclaim our parishes not only as a place of one hour of worship, but also as a place of connection and community. To learn more about what Terry's organization is doing to help, check out his website at https://www.acstechnologies.com/acst-catholic/.  You can also download a free document with ways to make a parish more welcoming. Also, I'm announcing my course on Anger. It's a collection of powerful ideas and exercises that will help you regain control of your temper - and protect those you love!

Satan blinds the minds of unbelievers lest the glorious light of the gospel should shine unto them. Judas was bound by this blindness. Judas was ruined by his own refusal to believe. Judas loved the darkness more than the lightJudas was not forced to betray Jesus. Judas acted on his own accord. Judas went his own way. There are some practical lessons we can learn form the life of Judas. Join me as we lookout his

Flowing with God or Fighting against God?   Scale of 1-10 If flowing with God is a 10—and fighting against God is a 1—where are you on that scale? Acts 4:36-37 Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), 37 sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet. Acts 5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.  2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?  4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.  6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.  8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” 9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.  11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.   Beware of hypocrisy.   12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade.  13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people.  14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.  15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.  16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.   17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy.  18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.    Beware of jealousy.   19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out.  20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.” 21 At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.  22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they went back and reported, 23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”  24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to. 25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.”  26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them. 27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest.  28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood.” 29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!  30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.  31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.  32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” 33 When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death.  34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while.  35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men.  36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.  37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered.  38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.  39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” 40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Beware of neutrality. 41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.  42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // At the Disciple's Feet Matthew 20:28 (NIV)“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” John 13:1-17 (NIV)“It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, ‘Lord, are you going to wash my feet?' Jesus replied, ‘You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.' ‘No,' said Peter, ‘you shall never wash my feet.' Jesus answered, ‘Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.' ‘Then, Lord,' Simon Peter replied, ‘not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!' Jesus answered, ‘Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.' For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. ‘Do you understand what I have done for you?' he asked them. ‘You call me ‘Teacher' and ‘Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.'” Mark 9:34-35 (NIV)“But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.” Mark 10:45 (NIV)“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”     Luke 22:21-27 (NIV)“But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!”  They began to question among themselves which of them it might be who would do this. A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be greatest. Jesus said to them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves.  For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.'” Mark 4:9 (NIV), Matt 11:15 (NIV)Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” Some Keys to Servanthood: 1.     Serving like Jesus means we move in humility, take action on behalf of others.Phil 2:8 (NIV)“And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death.” 2.     Serving like Jesus means we engage compassionately.Matthew 9:36 (NIV)“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” 3.     Serving like Jesus means we must serve graciously.Luke 6:35 (NIV)“But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.”             Galatians 5:13 (NIV)“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” 4.     Serving like Jesus, we must take time for people.1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.” Let your doing be done for the sake of the doing, not to be seen!

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITFrom the front seat of my car at 5:20 AM, I share some bittersweet news about my parking lot buddy Tim heading off to Alaska. We've had this unspoken competition about who arrives first each morning, and strangely enough, I'll miss seeing his headlights pull up in the dark.The weekend brought precious time with my grandson - that happy, smart little boy who never seems to throw fits (at least not at Grandma and Grandpa's house). But what really caught my attention this week was a fascinating archaeological discovery about Jesus's first miracle. A historian believes he's found compelling evidence for the true location where Jesus turned water into wine - complete with ancient Christian tunnels marked with crosses, a veneration cave complex used by pilgrims for centuries, and even space for exactly six stone jars as mentioned in Scripture. The physical connection to biblical history is absolutely mind-blowing.I've been watching the fifth season of The Chosen, and Jonathan Roumie's portrayal of Jesus continues to move me deeply. I find myself feeling strangely sympathetic toward Judas, watching his fundamental misunderstanding of Jesus's mission unfold. After attending Marjorie Taylor Greene's recent talk, her message about getting involved locally resonated strongly. Too many of us whisper "I don't want to get involved" when faced with challenging issues in our communities. Whether it's through social media or showing up at local meetings, we all have opportunities to stand for what we believe. What's your favorite miracle that Jesus performed in the Bible? I'd love to hear your thoughts.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Pressing after forgiveness is the very life and power of evangelical humiliation. How shall a man know that his humiliation is evangelical, that his sorrow is according to God? Is it not from hence he may be resolved, that he doth not in it as Cain did, who cried his sins were greater than he could bear, and so departed from the presence of God; nor as Judas did, who repented and hanged himself; nor as Felix did, —tremble for a while, and then return to his lusts; nor as the Jews did in the prophet, pine away under their iniquities because of vexation of heart?

There's a difference between loving God and agreeing with his operating model. In this episode, Brett confronts a hard truth: many believers in the marketplace are stuck in old operating models, speaking kingdom language without living kingdom reality.  Using the story of Judas Iscariot as a sobering case study, Brett introduces the "Judas Syndrome”, a predictable decline rooted in compromised motives, unmet expectations, and resistance to transformation. Listeners will discover the three common paths in kingdom business today: •⁠ ⁠Path A – The Comfortable Conformist: well-meaning but unwilling to fully change. •⁠ ⁠Path B – The Offended Betrayer: disillusioned when Jesus doesn't meet their professional expectations. •⁠ ⁠Path C – The Transformed Disciple: those who embrace discomfort, continual growth, and radical alignment with God's ways. This episode challenges us to examine our current path and offers guidance for moving toward authentic kingdom transformation in your business.

Sony's recent PlayStation-centric corporate presentation illustrated just how powerful their gaming vertical is. Indeed, PlayStation 5 has already generated more revenue for the company than PS1, PS2, and PS3 combined, and in the last five years, Sony has netted more in profit from gaming than it did in all 26 prior years the brand has existed, combined. Within their presentation was a lot of interesting data, quotes, anecdotes, and more to comb through, and we do that with a fine-tooth comb. We also wonder why the video presentation was so awkward, stilted, and choreographed. Can these people not speak extemporaneously and off-the-cuff? But we digress! Then, we get into other pertinent news of the week: Bungie's indefinite delay of Marathon, rumors of Sony's potential interest in Warner Bros., fresh PlayStation 5 and 6 handheld rumors, and more. Then, we end the show (as we always do) with listener inquiries. Is Hermen Hulst truly to blame for PlayStation's serious first party woes? When will Ghost Story's Judas launch? Is controller rumble and vibration an important component of our gameplay experiences?
