    Why Did The "Sinners" Love Hanging Out With Jesus?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 30, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,979 views

    It's a fact worth pondering: the tax collectors and sinners LIKED being with Jesus. That's not usually how the lost feel around us. What did Jesus have that we don't?

    AN IMPORTANT FACT: The tax collectors and “sinners” liked hanging out with Jesus. - Matthew 9:10. - It’s easy to rush past verse 10 and get to the rest of this story, but it’s worth settling for a moment here and thinking about its implications. The tax collectors and ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 6, 2014
     | 2,317 views

    Why focusing on sacrifice causes trouble and how focusing on compassion (as Jesus instructs us to) brings better results.

    WHAT'S WRONG WITH SACRIFICE? Sacrifice is not intrinsically bad, but the problem is when we say that more sacrifice equals a better Christian. - Matthew 9:13. - There is a lot that is good to sacrifice. Like many other things, though, making it the ultimate goal of our Christian life puts us in ...read more

    WHICH IS A HIGHER PRIORITY FOR ME: My comfort or God’s compassion? - Jonah 4:5-9. - Verse 6 tells us that Jonah is “very happy” about the vine. - Verses 8 and 9 tells us that the destruction of the vine puts Jonah is such a bad state of mind that he wishes he was dead. ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,810 views

    A look at the source of God's empathy for the people we don't care about as well as some guidance on how we can become more like God in this area.

    LOOKING AT PEOPLE WE DON'T LIKE: I can roll my eyes at them. - Most of us find it pretty easy to roll our eyes at people we don’t care for. - We dismiss them. We find them not worth our time. - Some of these people are those we struggle with personally. - Others are simply part of a ...read more

    Did Jesus Come To Repair The Old Way?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,825 views

    Jesus' comment on wineskins is confusing to many. What does it mean and how does it tie into His comments right before that on fasting?

    DID JESUS COME TO REPAIR THE OLD WAY? There are some of the same elements, but we need to know that this is a new thing. - Matthew 9:14, 16-17. - There will still be fasting – Jesus doesn’t dismiss it. Instead, He says it’ll happen when He is taken away from them (when the ...read more

    This tells the story of an insight God gave me into John 14:1-4 the morning before I held my adopted daughter for the first time.

    I want to tell you a story about an insight that God gave me into John 14:1-4, the passage where Jesus speaks of going to prepare a place for us.

    Jesus’ Word To Those At The Top And The Bottom

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 15, 2014
     | 4,496 views

    This passage is a "sandwich," which leads to some significant parallels and contrasts.

    THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THIS PASSAGE: This story is a sandwich. - What does that mean? This is one of the multiple places in the Bible where a story is begun, then interrupted by another story, and then the first story is revisited and concluded. When that happens, there is always a great ...read more

    Who Did Jesus Say That We Should Fear?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 21, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,633 views

    What happens when we don't fear God as we should but instead focus our fears on the things of this world?

    MISPLACED FEAR: We are often scared of the wrong things. - Luke 12:4. - Now, what exactly do we mean when we talk about “fearing God”? - It’s not a cowering-in-the-corner type of thing. It’s awe, a respect, an awareness of how great He is. It’s also awareness that ...read more

    The Christian’s Duty To Our Political Leaders Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 29, 2014
     | 7,304 views

    An examination of the call for us to pray for our political leaders as well as some of the reasons that we usually fail to fulfill that obligation.

    THREE WAYS WE INTERACT WITH OUR POLITICAL LEADERS: 1. We complain about them. - Today this is our default position. Everyone is terrible, everything is terrible. This one’s a liar, that one’s a thief. This one is kicking puppies, that one hates babies. - And so we complain. 2. We ...read more

     | 5,478 views

    Part 1 of 5 in a series on the false gods of this world (i.e. of our own creation) that vie to be the ultimate object of our worship.

    INTRODUCTION: It is the number one problem in the Bible—more than 1,000 verses speak of it. More than 50 of the laws in the first five books of the Bible are directed against it. In Judaism it was one of only four sins to which the death penalty was attached. Yet we skip over it as an ...read more
