In so many of our past podcasts in our Jesus in HD study, we have examined many of the things that Jesus did.

In this PODCAST, we will take a good long look at something Jesus NEVER did.

WWJND? What Would Jesus NEVER Do? Certainly not this!!! Jesus NEVER did this. When you discover what He never did, you’ll be so eternally grateful that He never did. And never will. Not to you. Not to anyone.

And because He never did this, we love Him, and admire Him, and aspire to be like Him all the more.

You will find this to be so endearing a study that I cannot wait for you to get into it.

I cannot begin to tell you how grieved I am. Grieved about a statement recently released by a nationally known and respected pastor who, in response to a question by a parent asking for advice on how to treat an adult child who has just come out as gay…

…told the parent based upon Matthew 18 that the parents should shun their son or daughter.

Yes! Shun them! Shun them even to the point of isolating them, separating themselves from their child, turning the child over to Satan (No, I’m not kidding. Nor am I exaggerating), and refusing even to eat with him or her.

Would someone tell me please who Jesus ever shunned?

Is this REALLY what Jesus taught in Matthew 18?

NO!!!

This is what Jesus taught in Matthew 18:

Jesus was a master-builder, a trained and professional artisan, a teknon, a worker in wood and stone.

As you will hear in this PODCAST, Jesus knew all about soil, sand, rock, and proper foundations on which a house can stand strong and secure against floods and winds.

So the question becomes, on what foundation are you and I building our lives? I urge you — but infinitely more importantly, Jesus urges you — to build on this foundation:

Fact is, storms can be devastating. Especially the storms to which Jesus referred. They hit fast and furious — unexpected, unwanted, unwelcome, unavoidable, and utterly devastating. Whether or not we stand strong and secure in our storms depends on our foundation. Learn all about building a firm foundation here.

HAPPY LISTENING!!!

They say that confession is good for the soul. So here goes: I confess that I’m feeling terribly conflicted about the passage we discuss in this PODCAST.

On the one hand, this is as sober and serious as it gets, Jesus’ climax to His signature sermon.

Yet on the other hand, I find myself strangely comforted by His words. Comforted because they explain SO MUCH of what we see done today in Jesus’ name.

If you know of anyone who has some mental obstacles to understanding who Jesus is, THIS is the message for them to hear.

God bless you as you listen.

The Apostle Paul died a very troubled man.

As did Peter. As did John. As did Jude.

Know why? They shared the same concern. The identically same concern that Jesus addressed rather pointedly here in this PODCAST.

Rather than speak for Apostles Paul, Peter, John, and Pastor Jude, I’ll let them speak for themselves. And as you hear them, please know that they are speaking to us.

It was truly a trip to remember. 

My thanks to my dear friend, Scott Bair, for putting this video together.

What a privilege it was for me to go to the Land that I love with some pretty precious students whom I love.

Enjoy!!!

While I am in Israel, I have not left you podcast-less.
