If we analyze the miraculous healing of the blind man from Bethsaida from a spiritual point of view using a spiritual lens and perspective...What can we learn about the physical and spiritual redeeming power of Jesus?What can we learn about the process of redemption and salvation of the believer?

Have you ever asked yourself: Why did the healing of the blind man of Bethsaida require the application of saliva and two touches over the eyes of the blind man from the part of Jesus? Didn’t Jesus have enough power to heal the blind man of Bethsaida with only one intervention? Listen as we try to answer these questions.

If God already knows your every thought, why do so many of us still wear masks when we pray? In this Podcast, we'll continue our study of Psalm 139 and explore David's bold invitation to stop pretending and start relating to God with openness, trust, and authenticity. It could change the way you pray forever.

What are you hoping for? Better circumstances? Healing for someone you love? A brighter tomorrow? We all hope for something—but what if the greatest hope isn't found in this life at all?Today, we'll explore 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul reveals why the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith. Discover the hope that outlasts suffering, conquers death, and changes everything.In this podcast, we celebrate the risen Christ and discover the hope that anchors us today—and for eternity.

Feeling overwhelmed? David knew that feeling too. Join us this week as we explore Psalm 139 and discover how he found peace—not by changing his circumstances, but by resting in the truth that God knows him completely, cares for him personally, loves him deeply, and never leaves his side.

The day of Pentecost inaugurated the birth of the church, in fulfillment of the fourth spring festival: Fulfilled Spring Feasts (Christ's First Coming)Passover (Pesach): Fulfilled by Jesus's death as the sacrificial Lamb of God, redeeming believers from sin.Unleavened Bread (Hag HaMatzah): Fulfilled by Jesus's sinless life and burial, as he is the bread without leaven (sin).First Fruits (Yom HaBikkurim): Fulfilled by Jesus's resurrection on the third day, signifying him as the "firstfruits" of those who rise from the dead.Pentecost (Shavuot): Fulfilled by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church, occurring 50 days after the resurrection. The Jewish festival remembers God giving Moses the Law (words of God writ by God). The second Pentecost commemorates God giving the church the Word, the living Torah, the Lord Jesus Christ.Unfulfilled Fall Feasts (Future Prophetic Events) Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah): Interpreted as pointing to the resurrection of believers, but in partial fulfillment points to every born again believer.Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Interpreted as pointing to the final judgment, but in partial fulfillment points to the ascended Jesus presenting Himself to the Father as both high priest and holy sacrifice.Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth): Interpreted as representing God dwelling with humanity in the age to come (Revelation 22), but in partial fulfillment points to the indwelling Holy Spirit.On this day, God reversed the Tower of Babel, so that rather than being divided by many languages, humankind would now be united.But there is another aspect of Pentecost that involves the Day of Christ's Ascension, which gets to the heart of the magnificent - and massive - mystery Paul talked so often about. This week is the Big Reveal!

Have you ever worried you have sinned so much that God is not going to forgive it? Our section this week in Matthew 12 records Jesus as saying, “And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven,” suggesting there may be things beyond the reach of forgiveness. There was a period—in the late 2000s through early 2010s—when some people uploaded YouTube videos claiming they were “blaspheming the Holy Spirit” or committing the “unpardonable sin” on camera. The videos varied, but they often involved deliberately saying phrases they believed would qualify as the sin mentioned by Jesus. Did they commit an unpardonable sin? Listen as we examine Jesus’ escalating conflict with the Pharisees in context. We will also look at biblical examples of serious sin that God deals with dramatically.Steve Coleman

Joanne says, "According to the Mishnah, Sabbath desecration was one of the most grossly wicked crimes a person could commit, and the penalty was stoning to death. By accusing Jesus’ disciples of transgressing the Sabbath laws, the Pharisees were implicating Jesus as well – that He was also sinning by allowing them and not stopping them. What today might seem like a small matter, was actually a matter of life and death. But it was even more serious than that. Because if Jesus was viewed as a sinner, then he could not be seen as the Messiah. Let's listen to find out how Jesus schooled the school masters.

Dr. Bill says, “You can probably think of a number of times in history where everything changed. For example, the invention of the wheel, the telephone and so on. There were also a number of times in scriptural history where everything changed in terms of how God related to people, especially in terms of how He revealed Himself. This week we will explore another, often overlooked, major pivot God made with respect to how He relates to mankind. In addition, if you struggle with sleep, you often feel fatigued, still feel tired after an afternoon nap, then listen to learn a better way.

Here's the focus this week from Matthew.One way to read Matthew's Gospel is to see it divided into an introduction (1–4), a conclusion (26–28), and five central narrative-discourse blocks that alternate between Jesus's actions and teachings. These five sections are often compared to the Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament), framing Jesus as a new, authoritative Moses. Introduction: Jesus's Genealogy and Birth1. Chapters 1-7: Genealogy, Birth, and Baptism, ending with Jesus's Sermon on the Mount 2. Chapters 8-10: Ministry and Miracles, ending with Jesus's Missionary Discourse 3. Chapters 11-13: Disputes and Opposition, ending with Jesus's Parables of the Kingdom 4. Chapters 14-18: Miracles and Ministry, ending with Jesus's Discourse on the Church 5. Chapters 19-25: Journey to Jerusalem, ending with Jesus's Olivet Discourse.Conclusion: Chapters 26-28 the events surrounding Jesus's Death, Burial, and Resurrection We are now entering deep into the opposition Jesus faced from those who received the best of his teaching and miracles. Jesus compared them to what, for a thousand years, Hebrews had considered the worst of the worst--Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom. Yes, Jesus said, those cities will fare better than those who stood before him now on the day of judgment. Is this simply historical data, stored in the Gospel, or can there be something for us today? Let's find out.Joanne Hagemeyer
