*Correction: At minute 2:56, Jesse misspoke and said that the story of the wisemen is only recorded in the Gospel of Mark. This is incorrect. The story of the wisemen is only recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. Episode Summary: For a long time, I considered the story of the Wisemen to be something like an insignificant Bible legend. What's going on? What's the point of this story? -- Speaker's notes available at https://www.parableministries.com/podcasts/ep-42-the-mystery-of-jesus-wisemen -- cont...

A short message from Jesse about his desire for spiritual growth among Christians. Always be careful in your Biblical learnings and always compare what you hear with what the Word of God says. Trust is built through repetitious consistency, however, never let somebody's influence hinder your spiritual health.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Man, if we spoke Greek this would be a breeze. But unfortunately "love" in the English language is more complicated.

People have often satisfied themselves that performance of ceremonies is all God requires, and have missed the very heart of what true worship of God is all about. The reason is that usually a participation in ritual is much less demanding than submission of one's life to God and a daily walk in conformity with His Word. - Homer A.

*Correction/Clarification: At minute mark 15:50, Jesse reads Genesis 15:1 and talks about the word "reward." The context for this passage comes off the heels of Abram winning a battle against some kings (Gen. 14:13-16), receiving a blessing from a priest named Melchizedek (Gen. 14:17-20), and refusing to take any spoils from the battle (Gen. 14:21-24). Genesis 15:1 ESV After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very...
