Ever felt the sting of disappointment? You're not alone. We're about to explore the twists and turns of unmet expectations and their far-reaching implications. We'll uncover how our desires, when not aligned with God's will, can lead to feelings of bitterness, sadness, and self-pity. Yet, there's a silver lining, a beautiful concept: hope deferred. When a longing is fulfilled, it breathes life into us and our surroundings, a testament to God's plan for our lives. Shifting our attention to Jesus, we discuss how maintaining a clear vision of Him is crucial in navigating life's challenges. Through the enthralling narrative of His entry into Jerusalem, we glean lessons from the doubts of Judas and the devious plots of the chief priests. Are you, like Judas, straying from the narrow path Jesus has set? Or perhaps, like the chief priests, you're allowing worldly pursuits to overshadow His calling? Let's take a moment and realign ourselves, recognizing the importance of prioritizing Jesus and His mission over transient earthly pursuits.In our exploration of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, we confront the stark reality of the crowd's disappointment when Jesus, their hailed king, did not meet their expectations. Their confusion and frustration hold a mirror to us. How often have we used the gospel to fuel personal ambition, forgetting to submit to Jesus' authority? The call to surrender, to seek His kingdom first, resonates throughout this episode. So, let's heed this call to action, relinquishing any areas of our lives we've been withholding from God, and begin living in the light of eternity. Support the show

Visit: Christianityculture.com Have you ever wondered about the impact of divorce on Christian testimony? We're diving into it. From scriptural teachings to the big question of remarriage. What are the takeaways from all that the Bible has to say about marriage, divorce and remarriage after divorce? Be really sure the Lord is calling you to marry a certain person. Marriage is for life! Its “for better or worse.” Marriage is a death sentence to “self” and to “selfishness.”Divorce should never be an option to a sold-out, born-again believer.Make up your mind about the divorce and remarriage exceptions before you get married. There is no easy out…, except death of your spouse.See your role, whether you are single or married, as an ambassador of reconciliation for friends who are having their martial struggles…., or for brothers or sisters who are struggling with their spiritual commitment to Christ.Ponder and pray about how getting a divorce will impact your Christian witness to your unbelieving friends and relatives.Ask Jesus to show you if you have been a faithful bride to Him.  If you are convicted by the Holy Spirit that you have been pursuing other lovers (including your own flesh), then repent and seek that forgiveness that freely flows from His throne to those who are determined to never let go of the “Lover of their souls.” Support the show

And he was preaching the word to them. 3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question these things in your hearts? 9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’? 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— 11 “I say to you, rise, pick up your bed, and go home.” 12 And he rose and immediately picked up his bed and went out before them all, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!” Support the show
