For Talk 1, today, we enter a new section we’ll call “The Clash” because it’s about the aggravating events that led to the crucifixion. And which is why the Talk today is called Prophet vs. Provocoteur. Because Jesus provoked. A lot.
Why not do it gently? Because God didn’t want to repair—He wanted to restart.
Friend, are you frustrated because you’ve been trying to fix this thing and that thing in your life?
Good news: The key message of Talk 1 is God doesn’t just want to repair, He wants to restart in your life. He wants to give you a total replacement. A total overhaul. A brand new you.
And that is what God is offering to those who are humble enough to run to Him.
Today, we discus Talk 2 of our Feast series.
The key message is: “God’s mercy is bigger than all your mistakes.”
The Talk gives hope that your future is brighter than your past.
The word is familiar with the millenials who followed the hit television series, Clash of the Titans. Our talk is about clashes-the aggravating events that led to the crucifixion. And this is why the Talk today is titled Greed vs. Generosity. About the clash between the greed of the Pharisees and Sadducees and the generosity of Jesus.
We tend to be greedy because we think and act like we own our life.
Talk 3’s key message is: You belong to God.
Talk 4, titled Invited vs Chosen, is about the clash—the difference between being Invited and being chosen by the Lord to be with Him and receive His abundant blessings. Talk 4 is based on the parable of The Wedding Feast (John 3:16 NKJV) where guests ignore the invitation of the Groom to be guests in the wedding banquet.
The Groom symbolizes Jesus, while The Feast symbolizes His Church. The key message: Come to The Feast!
The key message: Give to God what belongs to God.
Talk 6, titled Death vs Resurrection, is about the clash-the difference betwween the belief that there is no life after death and the belief that we will resurrect after death and live an everlasting life.
The key message: Your Easter Sunday is coming.
Talk 7, titled Love vs Love, is about the clash between the two major commandments of God: Love God and Love Others. Some Love God but neglect Loving their own fellowmen-even their own family.
Look at the people around you.Look at their faces. Listen to their heartbeat. God is there in your loved ones.
And so, the key message of Talk 7 is God is waiting for you there.
Talk 8, titled Master vs Servant, is about the clash between the religious leaders’ idea the Messiah as a powerful person who would free them from slavery under the Romans then conquering Israel and Jesus, the real Messiah, the One who carried the Cross.
The key message of Talk 8: God feels your pain, but His plans are bigger than your problems.
Talk 9, titled Superficial Spirituality vs Genuine Humility, is about the clash-between the truly holy person and the one just acting to be so-yes, the hypocrite.
The key message of Talk 9: You need Jesus to be holy.
Today, we tackle Talk 10 titled Tearing Down vs Coming Down.
The talk is about the End Times or the end of the world.
There are clashing interpetations about the End Times.
Instead of debating over the End Times, we should focus on loving Jesus and what He wants us to do during our lifetime.
The key message of Talk 10: Stick to your assignment until the end.
We are in the Advent Season which starts on Sunday, November 28, 2021, and ends on December 24, 2021.
Advent is Lating for coming. So, among us Christians, the Advent Season is a celebration of the coming of Jesus into the world-His birthday on December 25.
The Clash, our Feast talk series, is also about the clashes-the aggravating events that led to the Crucifixion.
The Feast Talk this December is titled Foolish vs Wise</em which is about what we do while waiting for the coming of Christ.
The key message is: While you’re waiting God is working.
We are still in our long-running Feast talk series, The Clash.The word is familiar with the millenials who followed the hitl film Clash of Titans. The Titans are Greek gods who are ovrthrown from power after, yes, a clash with other gods.
The Clash, our Feast talk series, is also about clashes-the aggravating events that led to the Crucifixion.
The Feast Talk this December 12, 2021, is titled Stewardship vs Negligence because it it about the clash between wise handling of blessings as against taking for granted and falling to make good use of such blessings.
The key message is: Don’t lose your biggest blessings.
Talk 13 is about Jesus as Judge.
One of the questions the Talk answers is, “Would a loving God really send humans to Hell?”
The key message is: Trust the Judge.
