What did Paul say? Or did Peter say that? Did Jesus? Does it matter? This week we're looking at three things Paul said, and questioning whether Jesus said it too--and, ultimately, if it matters. And also taking a quick look at part of the character of Paul to see if we should question his motives. Support the show

Kicking off a 3-part sub-series: Did God Really Say? (He usually did.) Today we answer the question: where does the Bible say to "invite Jesus into your heart and be saved"? That phrase isn't, but we can search through a number of other Scriptures to try to find the concept. Support the show

Today we look at a few key passages of Scripture as we consider how much value things on earth have. Is it worth fighting for? Getting into arguments over? Judging others for? Removing from our lives just for the sake of removing it? Or, by denying ourselves things, are we only writing a new law that God never gave us? Just three passages today, to maybe help us answer these questions. Support the show

When we're told to "bear much fruit" because it is "to God's glory" it is important to know what kind of fruit we should be bearing. Today we look at what we can expect, what we should expect, and what we should pray for and intentionally bear--no gardener simply throws out random seeds. Neither should we only haphazardly cultivate crops within our character and our souls. Support the show

We start with each verse that uses the word to see some context, and then go all over the Bible to see where else it might pop up--or might not. Support the show
