Episode 138: Matthew Chapter 15

In this chapter, I observed that persistence impresses Jesus. The Canaanite woman came to Jesus asking him to heal her daughter, but he first ignored her and she persisted asking the disciples and with Jesus until he healed her daughter. She would not take no for an answer and Jesus rewarded her persistence that was driven by her faith in Jesus. This makes me pause and consider my own prayers, am I persistent in asking or do I give up easily. If I’m honest with myself, I do give up too easily and back off when my prayers aren’t answered in as timely manner as I would like. My faith is not big enough at times and I’m not as persistent as I should be. This woman would probably be labeled a ‘Karen’ today and most of us don’t want to be perceived that way, so we back down easily in all areas of life. In my prayer life, I see that I need to risk being a Karen to grow my faith and see God work. That is a stretch for me, but if I am to become a better follower of Jesus, I need to stretch my faith muscles and be persistent in my prayers.

Episode 103: Acts Chapter 13
Episode | March 12th, 2022 | Season 1 | 8 mins 51 secs
audio bible, daily bible, discipleship, jealousy, jesus, spiritual journey, spirituality
The theme of the Book of Acts is clearly that the disciples of Jesus would be his witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. God is moving his people in this direction and we keep seeing this resistance to the message going forward. However, each time, God pushes the message past this resistance. This chapter is no different, because when Sergius Paulus wants to hear the message there is resistance. Again when the people of Antioch Pisidia hear the message and respond positively, we see strong resistance. However, every resistance is met with God moving his message forward and more people joining his movement.
