#CST - The Narrow Gate - (#CST54)

We are back in with some hard hitting questions in the celebrity culture of Church is it to preserve their own popularity we came straight out of part one and asking the question where are the Shepherds of the flock we have hired hands, we need shepherds, the scripture is clear regarding self ambition or vein conceit, but humble yourself, do we have a Darwinistic approach in this celebrity Christian world of preachers, where they will say anything manipulation of the scripture to keep the lifestyle they have found themselves in, do we have theatrical performances in the majority of the mega Church and have very clever actors and actresses saying this is Church.

You are joining Ben and Simon in part one as they jump on the mics having an open conversation. Why do these celebrity Christian leaders, preachers and evangelist give us a different gospel and sugarcoat, as believers in Christ we need to know the truth we have too many lies from the political areas of life, the question is why is it because of the celebrity lifestyle, the flowing of finances, is it feeding their flesh?

Biblical reference - John c10 v4-5

Let’s just remind ourselves that we have eternal life forever, and the hands of the eternal God, Paul tells us very clearly that nothing can separate us from the love of God you are in the perfect will of the father.

Biblical reference John c10 v10. Psalm 91 v14-16

We look at the book of Ephesians chapter 3, verse 20 “God is able to do immeasurable, and so much more than we ask” understanding the power of speech, how the Bible tells us to live by faith and to speak over our lives, to call God down into the arena of all things, how the power of speech influences every situation of life also having the people around us, are they a negative influence, or are they positive so even the power of speech from other people in our life are critical.

Biblical reference - Ephesians c3 v20

As we study the Bible, we look at Jesus through the eyes of the prophet Isaiah, how he describes that there was nothing about Jesus, physical appearance that was attractive, no beauty or majesty, how Christ was very familiar with Pain and loss, but also looking at Christ as he took on the sins of the world Through the cross of Calvary?

Biblical reference - Isaiah c53 v1-7

We thank you for listening to us today here at #Christian Straight Talk as you join, Reverend Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck, the the title of this Podcast is "Jesus is the 7 I am" found in the Gospel of John, Jesus says I am the bread of life, I am the light of the World, I am the door, I am the good Shepherd, I am the Resurrection and life, I am the way and the truthlife and I am the true vine.  Also looking at the scripture in the Gospel of John chapter 8 verse 31-32.  You are the truth and the truth will set you free, understanding the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in the Gospel of John chapter 3 verse 3 and also when Christ says to Nicodemus, you are Israel's teacher, but you cannot believe, Jesus Christ is the truth and that truth will set you free.

Andy, Donny, and Ben, gather around the scripture, and explore, rested in God, through the power of prayer, seeking God, believing for miracles, trusting in his word through the hires and lows of life and asking the question, how do I find rest in the eternal arms of God.
