Seeing They Do Not See, And Hearing They Do Not Understand: This strange statement actually appears in all four gospels and Acts of the Apostles and is a prophecy about Christ. Why was this prophecy so crucial in the early Church, and why didn't Christ just explain or enlighten people so they could see and understand? by Search the Scriptures Live

“To Those Who Have More Will Be Given”: Christ told the disciples they would understand the mysteries and receive more. Others "seeing would not see and hearing would not understand" and would receive less. Why aren't the mysteries of heaven understandable to all?

Hiding Christ’s Teachings From the Learned and Wise: Christ thanked the Father for "hiding" his teaching from the "learned and wise" and revealing it to children.

Leaving Everything for Christ: The call of St. Matthew seems odd to us. He was doing his job and suddenly left everything to follow Christ. Other disciples also responded suddenly and inexplicably.

Lead Us Not Into Temptation Part 2: Why does God allow temptations? Are some trials or tests different from others?

93 min listen

Radical Grace: Pastor Louie Giglio // Sin does not make us bad, sin makes us spiritually dead. This is not a statement he makes for shock value. No, it is a reality we find throughout Scripture. As humans, we have a sin problem. This problem has plagued us from the very beginning (see Genesis 3). However, God so loved us, that he paved a way for the relationship that sin tore apart to be bridged in the person of Jesus. We who were once dead because of sin, have been made alive by Christ—that is Radical Grace! by Passion City Church Podcast
