TWO Parables for the Modest Price (FREE!!!) of One

Posted on November 30, 2014 by deweybertolini

You are in for a Thanksgiving treat! One PODCAST consisting of two precious parables.

Why these two parables don’t get more attention, I’ll never know. For contained within them are two of the most blessed truths of our faith.

The two parables of which I speak: The Parable of the Buried Treasure, and the Parable of the Pearl of Great Price. Two parables that, despite their similarities, reveal two totally distinct but equally precious truths.

If you need a jolt of overwhelming encouragement, you need look no further.

Take Heart! (Jesus Said It Would Be So…)

Posted on November 16, 2014 by deweybertolini

OK… So… I am rarely one to say “I told you so.”

But sometimes I just can’t help myself.

As you will hear on this week’s PODCAST, my dear friends, I told you so. All courtesy of Jesus. All centered upon a #MostSignificantParable.

One of a duet of parables, actually. The first having been discussed at length last week. The second to be discussed here and now.

Get ready to think. Be prepared to process. Buckle yourself in as we once again (thanks to Jesus) shift a paradigm.

In short, get ready to view the world differently.

God WILL Answer Your EVERY Prayer (Seriously! IF You Pray Like This…)

Posted on October 26, 2014 by deweybertolini

Welcome to this Jesus in HD Encore PODCAST.

I am coming off of an exhilarating week with the best students in the world, the Joshua Wilderness Institute students. So in my absence, and for your edification and enjoyment, I have reached way back into the archives, all the way to Podcast #61.

This was at the time a wonderfully received and enormously helpful discussion that brought so much peace to so many troubled (and sometimes tortured) souls.

If you were ever going to hear just one message on the mysterious and majestic practice we call prayer, let this one be the one. For here we come to the crux of the matter regarding this glorious thing we call prayer.

So much is going to become so clear in just the next few minutes: Questions about unanswered prayers. Questions about why God even designed this thing called prayer. Questions about the purpose of prayer. Questions about what we ought to pray for, and what we don’t need to pray for.  Why prayer sometimes doesn’t seem to work. Yet why every time we pray biblically, it ALWAYS works.

So much to talk about. I am so glad you are here to share in this discussion with us.

PLEASE NOTE that depending upon your web browser, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play.

HAPPY LISTENING, and may God richly bless you as you listen.

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

Posted on October 19, 2014 by deweybertolini

Ready to have a somewhat sobering, definitely enlightening, and #Oh.So.Encouraging discussion?

Then welcome to this week’s PODCAST!!!

An encouraging discussion, certainly to me personally, and hopefully to you, because Jesus’ 2nd parable, The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares (the 1st we discussed last week, The Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seeds) is spot-on as far as Jesus predicting with pinpoint accuracy EXACTLY what would be taking place in our contemporary Christian culture and communities today…

…And why!

A thought-provoking portrait upon which you and I need to gaze with insight and understanding.

This is one of those messages that puts so much into its proper perspective. Honestly, I can’t wait for you to hear it.

GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU LISTEN!!!

A Mother’s Lament

Posted on September 21, 2014 by deweybertolini

My heart goes out to Mother Mary.

Her name means “Bitterness.”

Sadly, and quite frankly, in many ways Mary lived up to her name.

Being the mother of Jesus was no small task. One that she fulfilled with great dignity and distinction.

But boy did she face her challenges.

In this PODCAST, we will gaze upon a Scriptural snapshot of Mary unlike anything you have ever seen before.

Not only that, but we will encounter Jesus in His darkest hour, second only to that night before the crucifixion when He sweat drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane. As we do, our love for Him will deepen. Our respect for His mom will broaden. And our understanding of the both of them will stir up within our own hearts a sense of God’s presence in our lives like we’ve never experienced before.

Paintings, My Friends. It’s All About the Paintings. (And Oh What a Painter God is!!!)

Posted on September 7, 2014 by deweybertolini

In this PODCAST, so many, many questions will be answered.

How do we know there is a God?

Why does the Bible say that all people are without excuse?

How did people in the Old Testament get “saved”?

What about people who have never heard of Jesus before?

Just to name a few!!!

Open your ears. Open your eyes. Most importantly, open your heart. You will be amazed at all that you are about to learn!!!

HAPPY LISTENING!!!

The One (and Only) Sin that Can Never be Forgiven

Posted on August 31, 2014 by deweybertolini

Call it what you will… The Unpardonable Sin. The Unforgivable Sin.

No matter what the name, its consequences are unimaginable.

In this PODCAST (which I believe for you will find to be enormously encouraging and reassuring), you will learn exactly what this sin is, what this sin isn’t, whether or not it is possible today to commit this sin, and if so, whether or not you have or ever will commit it.

In terms of its eternal ramifications, no conversation is more vitally important than this one.

Find out what Jesus said, to whom He said it, why He said it, and what His dire warning means for us today.

HAPPY LISTENING.

Jesus Heals a Mother’s Broken Heart

Posted on August 25, 2014 by deweybertolini

While I am away speaking at one of my all-time favorite places on the planet (Hartland Christian Camp), here in this Encore PODCAST is some much-needed hope for every brokenhearted mom. Not to mention every brokenhearted dad.

This hope comes courtesy of a man named Levi, though you’d never know it by reading his account of Jesus’ life and ministry.

While there is scant little detail in the Bible regarding this remarkable man (Levi is mentioned by name a grand total of only 5 times), scratch beneath the surface and we could write a book about him.

Levi deserves our focused attention, and we will be all the richer for having had this discussion.

A polarizing figure, Levi was. They either loved him or hated him. Or to put an even finer point to that: The religious hated him; Jesus loved him.

And in loving him as Jesus did, Levi becomes a living, breathing canvas on which the heart of Jesus is painted in vivid colors and bold relief.

HAPPY LISTENING!

#Oh.My.Word

Posted on August 3, 2014 by deweybertolini

We could give this PODCAST a variety of titles.

The Ballad of the Broken and Battered Woman.

The Indignation of the Idolatrously “Holy” Man.

I prefer the title, Oh.My.Word, for reasons that you will soon hear.

We have come to a tipping point in the life and ministry of Jesus. After this encounter with a broken woman and a “holy” man, things will never again be the same for Jesus.

The full fury of the religious leaders will come to full flower as a result of this one meal that Jesus shared with this one man and one woman.

Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play.

God bless you as you listen.

A Very Gentle Jesus

Posted on July 27, 2014 by deweybertolini

As you are about to hear, my fragile faith was in a total free-fall. Not something I’m proud of, I assure you.

Leave it to Jesus to know exactly what to say and how to say it to bring me back.

What did He say? And what does it mean to you?

You are in for a treat. And so is anyone with whom you share this podcast. A totally biblical, radical, and (May I say?) a thoroughly refreshing view of exactly who Jesus REALLY is. From His lips to your heart.
