This is the episode is part 22 of a study of the gospel of Luke. Jesus reminds us the truth that more than one politician, hypocritical religious leader or email sending has learned the hard way. The truth will come out. The deeds done in the dark will be exposed to the light. So why try and pretend to be one way in public and another way in private? And why worry? We worship a God who knows the hairs on our head. We worship a God who clothes the flowers of the field in splendor… and loves us even more. And why do we try and save up treasure here where thieves, rust and stock market crashes can take it from us?

This is the episode is part 21 in a study on the gospel of Luke. Jesus tells the pharisees and the teachers of the law what he really thinks about their religion. He describes them like the product of some bad dishwasher who washes only the outside of the cup. They are outwardly religious and inwardly corrupt. Is our faith only skin deep?

This is the episode is part 17 in the study of the gospel of Luke. Possibly flush with excitement from the transfiguration of Jesus that 3 of the disciples saw they start to argue among themselves who is more important. Then Jesus encounters 3 men who have excuses why not to follow him. Lastly, Jesus who is heading towards Jerusalem and death sends out the 72 to give the towns in his path one last chance to accept him during his earthly ministry.
There is a problem with the audio file where it is truncated. I will be fixing this later today. Sorry for the inconvenience.
