  2. Luke 18:1-14: The Parable of the Persistent Widow Get what you want from God by pestering Him until He gives in! Actually . . . NO. Knowing the nature and character of God gives us boldness to approach Him.
  3. Matthew 13: The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares Craig and Troy discuss multiple parables at once, and so they come to the conclusion that sometimes an evil weed looks like a righteous one but sometimes a good fish looks bad. But when it comes to the Kingdom, only Christ and His angels will know how to separate one from the other. How are we to know which ones Christ has died for?
  4. How much forgiveness do you have? Forgiveness is a choice. What do two Monacos and one Toyota Corolla have in common? Tune in and find out!
  5. Give me oil for my lamp, keep it burning . . . The parable of the ten virgins shows us what it is to be prepared in Christ and unprepared in ourselves. #iwishwe’dallbeenready
  6. Luke 16, the “Parable” of the Rich Man and Lazarus Moses and the Prophets speak of Christ. If you don’t believe those words, why would you believe the actual resurrection?
  7. Matthew 20- “Nunya Business!” Is not God free to generously give His grace--and indeed everything that is His--to whomever it pleases Him to give?

  11. Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on Christ in the manger. In their monumental 100th episode, Gillespie and Riley read and discuss G.K. Chesterton’s “The Christmas Ballads.” This episode, it’s a lot of incarnation talk and a few rabbit trails along the way.
  12. Meet God in the flesh. Troy and Craig have a Merry Christmas program revolving around the Gospels of Luke and John as they discuss many facets of God in the flesh, in the face of Christ as He became one of us. Behold the Son of God and the Son of Mary who has come to be the final sacrifice of all time to give His salvation for you.
