Sat, 6 February 2010  In this episode of Thread we track with Jesus as he takes his mission to a higher plane. Only those willing to pay the price to go with him could continue with him. It reminds me of the experience of our friend, Diane, while climbing Kilamanjaro.. listen to the podcast for more...

Fri, 29 January 2010 Sometimes God shows you what He wants you to do but it requires the sacrifice of your marriage plans, job or a material possession. Sometimes it places you in perceived danger because you have to insert yourself in a place of serious need. In these times you turn to your friends and family for encouragement and affirmation only to have them attempt to stop you from taking such a dangerous leap. They do it out of love, but they are using only human "security-centric" thinking versus listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit who often calls us into the darkness away from our security and comfort. In this episode Jesus deals with this situation as Peter out of misguided love tries to stop Jesus from talking about God's mission for him requiring his death. Food for thought...

Mon, 4 January 2010 Ever had a day when you start on an amazing high only to have it crash and burn by late afternoon when something else invades your wonderful day and turns it upside down? Jesus had days like that too. Sometimes you just have to soldier on. Listen to today's podcast for more.

Mon, 14 December 2009 Ever go to God and not receive what you expected from Him? Maybe it seems like the answer to your prayers is "Take a number..." In today's Thread we learn lessons from two people who were being tormented by the "dark side." Both came to Jesus, but neither received the treatment they might have thought they deserved. Still...

Tue, 8 December 2009 Legalists mean well. They hope to find a way to minimize the defilement of sin and its power to destroy the beauty in life. It all starts out with naming external things that seem to have a connection to sin, then forbidding them. Over time there have been many forbidden things: pork, sex even in marriage, alcohol, and "worldly occupations" such as the entertainment industry. Women have been stripped of their makeup, jewels, short haircuts and the wearing of pants. Some listen to and play only "Christian" music. What does Jesus say about all of this? What works and what doesn't in helping us find holiness in this life?Direct download: Mark_Episode_22_Podcast_ready.mp3 Category: Thread: For Emerging Leaders -- posted at: 12:08 PM Comments[0] |
Fri, 4 December 2009 What fills you up after you have become emptied out through serving others? For Jesus, it was time alone with God. He seemed to like mountains and night times for seasons of extended praying. His prayers weren't a good work, or something he had to do to be a good person toward God. He honestly and earnestly longed to spend time alone with the Father. Those times aligned his heart with the Father's and allowed the full resources of God to flow into him equipping him to handle whatever circumstances came his way. You and I need places and rhythms of prayer alone. These times will determine our spiritual depth over the course of our lifetimes. Listen to this thread and hear more on this subject as we study the life of Jesus through the gospel of Mark one verse at a time.

Thu, 26 November 2009 Have you ever pushed yourself beyond your limits of strength and endurance? Every champion knows the necessity of this during times when "pushing through the pain" is the only way to overcome challenges. The problem comes when we try to live at that state always. We trade sleep for work, exercise for work, and socializing for more work. Our lives need a healthy rhythm especially when much os our lives' energies are directed into caring for the needs of others. If caregivers and ministers burn out everyone suffers. Listen to the wisdom of Jesus as he teaches his disciples about the value of people and about the Father's active care for all of us. God will provide all that you and your sheep need to be fed and healthy. We don't need to take all of this on ourselves. In the end it is God's work.

Mon, 16 November 2009 For the first year Jesus did all the ministry. He preached, healed the sick and cast out the demons. He faced all contrary people and reasoned with them in open debate. Then in the second year he turned to the disciples and said to them, "Now, you do it." I'm sure they were shocked and afraid at the prospect of attempting such a thing, but Jesus gave them his healing power and told them what sermon to preach and sent them to do it--and the results multiplied. Now they could be in six villages each day instead of one. Their impact was so great that even King Herod heard about them. That's what happens when ministry is multiplied versus just adding converts. Jesus will make you competent to do His ministry. This Thread deals with entering Christ's ministry.Direct download: Mark_Episode_19_podcast_ready.mp3 Category: Thread: For Emerging Leaders -- posted at: 3:31 AM Comments[0] |
Thu, 12 November 2009 Bible study for grown ups. Ever been around a person of tenacious faith? They are contagious in their optimism and their confidence that in the end, God will make it all work out well. These people are the life-changers for others fortunate enough to live around them. They are the world-changers. In a world of doubters and God haters, people of faith encourage God. I want to be that person, don't you? Listen to this episode from Mark 5 and see how faith grows and works in every day life.
