Week 31

This week's quote is another controversial one. Is Jesus really saying this? What does it say about the world? Are some people just born bad? You decide.

Good people will do good things, and the bad will do evil.

We  find this in the Q gospel and the gospel of Thomas.

Week 30

This week's quote is one of the most contriversial we will encounter:

The Creator of All will provide the necessities of life.

This is a good follow up to last week's message. This makes us think about how much we really need. Consider all you have and how much is really necessary for a meaningful life.

We find this message in the Q Gospel and the Gospel of Thomas.

Week 29

This week's quote is short and to the point:

Do not trust earthly riches.

We all see how the world's economies and stock markets are faultering. Yeshua just seemed to know what was really important. Maybe it's time the rest of us start learning. 

We find this thought expressed in the source material for Luke's gospel, as well as the Gospel of Thomas.

Week 28

This week's message, as well as the next several, all point to the benefits of a life centered toward following the ways of the Creator.

You cannot follow the way of righteousness and peace and also follow the ways of the world.

We find this in the gospels of John and Thomas, as well as the Q Gospel.

Week 27

In this week's message, Yeshua gives us some practical advise. We all could live by these words:

Do not forget your responsibilites to others, but dedicate your life to the Creator of all.

We find this expressed numerous times, including in the Gospel's of Thomas and Mark, the Didache, Paul's letters to the Romans and Ephesians, and it 1 Peter.
