Part 2 of the Sermon on the Mount: Jesus counsels his newly called disciples to "take heed" or, in other words, to beware of some things that could damage their and others' discipleship. This week, study how to create personal, private, and holy discipleship of the Savior.

Although the crowds followed Jesus he went up into a mountain and his disciples, came to him and learned from him how to leave the crowd behind and be true follower. Study with us as we examine our own discipleship and consider what we can do to be more "blessed", salt the earth and light the world, live the higher law, and become perfect.

"Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God." This pronouncement from the Savior is about so much more than baptism, it's about Christ's desire to change us, as he is able to change so many things, in something fit for the Kingdom. Study with us in this episode to learn how he can change you!

For some, the greatest stresses and worries in life come from external temptations; for many others, the internal temptations to doubt, disparage, and discourage can be the most damaging. In this episode we study Jesus' wrestle with these kinds of temptations in search for how we, like Him, can stand strong.

We know what John the Baptist did, but we spend far less time studying what he said. This episode we study the "voice crying in the wilderness" and learn what he has to teach about repentance, some truths that, if understood, will change the way we view repentance!

John's gospel gives us an up-close, intimate, unique, and tangible account of Jesus' ministry. John wants us to remember our own personal relationship with Christ. This week we come to "see" Jesus in a new light, "see" ourselves the way he does, and "see" others with more love and optimism.

"Worship is essential and central to our spiritual life." That quote gets at the heart of our study this week. What is worship really? What does it look like? And how can we do it better and more powerfully in our own relationships with the Savior? This week we learn from some of the first to worship Jesus just how to worship him ourselves.

We know the beginning of the story of Jesus, but everything from his parentage to his annunciation was unexpected to both those in his day and early readers of the gospels. What happens when God unexpectedly calls on unexpected people to do unexpected things? What happens when he calls you? Study with us in this episode to start finding out!
