    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 5, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,689 views

    A look at the unforgiveable sin. I think the distinction that I share about why criticism of Jesus is acceptable but of the Holy Spirit is not will be helpful in getting to the heart of what Jesus is trying to convey.

    WHAT IS THE "UNFORGIVEABLE SIN" EXACTLY? It seems to be seeing consistently clear evidence of the Spirit’s movement and attributing it to Satan. - Luke 12:10. - The passage in Luke presents the shortest version of this saying in the gospels. The versions in Matthew 12:22-32 and Mark ...read more

     | 3,598 views

     | 4,802 views

    A look at the evangelism prayer that Jesus told us to pray (but we don't) as well as five of the reasons we need this prayer.

    THE SIMPLE, OBVIOUS, PATHETIC, MYSTIFYING TRUTH: We do not pray this prayer. - Matthew 9:38. - I do not have an explanation for this. - It’s not hard to do. It’s not hard to understand. It’s not controversial. Yet it’s rare that any of us pray this prayer at all. ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2013
     | 7,101 views

    A look at real repentance versus the emotion that we often mistake for repentance.

    THE NEXT STEPS (LITERALLY): Even after surviving the whale ordeal and getting a second chance, Jonah’s repentance begins with a lot of walking. - Jonah 3:3. - This is a fact that at one level seems rather obvious but that hit me hard a while back. As I considered the story of Jonah, I had ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 6, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,473 views

    A look at how we frequently judge the inward readiness by the outward appearance and why that doesn't work.

    HOW CAN YOU TELL WHO IS READY TO RECEIVE GOD? Outward appearance is a poor indicator of inward readiness. - Jonah 3:5-10. - Focusing on outward appearance hurts our witnessing because we don’t want to be mocked. - There are many who appear to be far away from God because they are in fact very ...read more

    A SMILE ON GOD'S FACE: God delights in repentance. - Jonah 3:10. - Many have an exclusive view of God as the mean headmaster or the zealous judge, but one of the things that the Bible makes clear is that God loves seeing the prodigal return home.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,429 views

    A look at the personal resentments that we hold onto as well as how God expects us to change to see those people the way He does.

    WHAT GOD BELIEVES: We want God’s actions to line up with our pre-existing beliefs. - We want God to work within the confines of our pre-existing beliefs and values. We don’t want to have to go through the hard work of changing what we think and believe. - We want to love God and be a ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013
     | 3,686 views

    We want God's grace given to us but we're not as happy when God's grace is extended to the person who hurt us. This message looks at Jonah's anger and what God expects of us toward those who've hurt us.

    WHAT GOD BELIEVES: We want God’s actions to line up with our pre-existing beliefs. - We want God to work within the confines of our pre-existing beliefs and values.

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 18, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,145 views

    This encounter makes no sense (why would Matthew just get up and follow this man) unless you know the behind-the-scenes encounters that happened prior. This message unpacks the need for that hidden work in our lives to see God moves powerfully.

    WHY DOES MATTHEW FOLLOW A STRANGER? The public commitment was preceded by behind-the-scenes work. - Matthew 9:9. - Matthew 4:18-22; John 1:35-42. - Matthew doesn't follow a stranger. He had a previous relationship with Jesus. This public moment was preceded by behind-the-scenes things. - The ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 30, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,970 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

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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,813 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?
