In the Pasture with Jesus

Hi, everyone! As we approach Thanksgiving Day, we first of all want to say THANK YOU for being so awesome. We are incredibly thankful that we get to spend time recording together, but even more than that, we are thankful that you spend your time listening to and encouraging us. We truly thank God for you all.

This episode we are looking at Jesus’s words in John 10 when He calls Himself “the gate” and then “The Good Shepherd”. Like most things Jesus said, this can look very simple on the outside, but there are more layers to it.

Maybe you are super familiar with Jesus as the Good Shepherd and have heard it preached on a hundred times. Or maybe you are less familiar with it and haven’t given it much thought.

Either way, it does us good to spend time contemplating our position as sheep cared for by the ultimate good shepherd. So rest with us a while as we talk about life in the pasture with Jesus.

ALSO:

—Maybe someone told me that?

—Faithful regurgitation of ideas

—Jesus lived with (and smelled like) His sheep

—Shepherds v. Hired Hands

—Where is this pasture?

—Everyone isn’t for everyone

—We live in a pasture, but also Egypt

More Vine, Less Whine

Today we are fortifying ourselves to face a world saturated with discontent, impatience and fear.

So how do we fight against the current that threatens to drag us down into anxiety and despair and apathy? Where do we find the nourishment that will give us life and help us bear fruit?

Jesus’s disciples faced the same basic threats and here is the answer He gave them: Abide in me.

Jesus chose them, and He chose us, to abide in His love and bear the fruit of His love in our lives.

Today we will talk about that—about our TRUE vine, Jesus, and about what it looks like to be pruned as we abide in His love and bear fruit.

John 15 is a really great place to spend some time and we are so happy you are spending your time with us today!

The Son of Man, and Micro-dosing and Beasts, Oh My!

Hey Friends! We are back and today we are talking about just some of the many times Jesus called himself the Son of Man. It was a name that brought comfort to those seeking God’s kingdom, and it unsettled those who meant to establish their own kingdoms.

So which camp do we fall into?

In a world where we struggle to find meaning in hardship and relief in our struggles, it can be tempting to try one of the many paths presented to us. But true healing comes when you know that this isn’t all there is—that Jesus came Himself as one of us, a Son of Man, and that one day He is coming back to bring His kingdom that will never end.

In the meantime, we are talking about what it means to live in anticipation of that kingdom and how to worship in gratitude for all He has done for us.
