Part 1 - Are Good Works Really Only Filthy Rags, Biblically?

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
In part 1, we'll begin by pairing Isaiah 64:6 with other biblical texts that cause us to question if this isolated verse is as broad as it has been taught to be. For example, what do we do with verses such as Hebrews 10:24 which tells us to “consider how to encourage one another in love and good deeds?”
We'll discuss many texts that support that the Most High meets with those who perform good works/righteous deeds. The key? We must be ones that "rejoice in doing righteousness." (Isaiah 64:5) How do you personally view good works? Are you certain that you agree with what the Bible says about them? Let's find out!

The Will of YHWH and Duty of Man

We're told that "the one who does the will of Elohim continues to live forever." It would seem that we should thereby need to rightly understand how to determine what the will of the Creator is. Equally, Ecclesiastes tells us what is the entire duty and purpose of every man to ever live.
Do you want to walk in the Most High's will and inherit eternal life? Do you want to fulfil your purpose? Let's find out!

Naive Ones: Seeing Our Own Ignorance in Matthew Chapter 16

When we read of the disciples slowness to properly understand Messiah's words, it would do us well to humbly admit that here we see ourselves.
Are you ever found naive and ignorant? Would you even know it if you were? Let's find out!

Perplexed Peter: Patiently Waiting for Understanding

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE.
Unlike Peter, most of us have never been too familiar with waiting patiently, in a state of being perplexed. Most of us have been trained to panic and force instant responses into trying moments in order to establish immediate solutions. Or, we move out in anxiety and pressure to “get it all right” and fail to *patiently* move out, step by step – submitting to the process of gaining understanding as the Spirit guides us.
I'd like to take a unique look into the record of Acts chapter 10 and see if we can glean something valuable from Peter's response to the vision that he saw. I have much more that I can learn in regards to patiently waiting in order to gain understanding. Do you as well? Let's find out!
