Ep. 14 - Profile Of A Life On The Rock

Surely the righteous will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever. They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear; in the end they will look in triumph on their foes. They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor, their righteousness endures forever; their horn will be lifted high in honour.

Ep. 13: Recovering After A Storm

“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

Ep. 12: Common Mistakes In Home Building

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Episode 11: On The Rock

We are excited to launch our new series today on founding your life, family, and home on Jesus the Rock!

Episode 10: I Never Knew You

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me,’” (Matthew 7:21-23).

Episode 9: The Narrow Gate

Our final Sunday looking at the 'Golden rule' in the Way of Jesus.

Episode 8: How The Gospel Makes The Golden Rule

A 'Golden Rule' and the culture it produces when followed, seems almost unattainable. Even with every intention, we get in our own way; if not for the Gospel of Jesus, which not only makes it possible for us, it can restore our hearts to its natural state of following this way, His way, the way of Jesus.

Episode 7: What Do You Wish?

Fr. Ryan continues our deep exploration of the 'Golden Rule' and asks a question perhaps we've been to apprehensive to consider- What do you wish?

Episode 6: What Is Your Rule?

A new season in The Way of Jesus - You've heard the 'Golden Rule', but just how deep and how far can Jesus' rule cover and take us? Is it the rule we've covered our own lives with, is it a better one?

Episode 5: Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

How do we discern which influences to allow in our life? What are the qualities and outcomes from someones influence that we should be looking for? In this episode we look at Jesus’ teaching concerning False Prophets in Matthew 7:15-20 and the different types of “wolves” that infiltrate the life of the Christian and the Church.
