When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through!

He wasn’t sure if he would make it out of jail alive so he weas telling them, “Look, man will fail you because we are so fickle and unstable, but Jesus is solid, he is an immovable stone.” The word “safeguard” literally means “never fail.” He is telling them this because he knows the church was depending on him and his teaching, but he is saying, “Trust in the One that will never fail you—Jesus!” The scriptures make it plain—God is faithful and we can put our faith, our trust in Him. safeguard, solid, firm, foundation, rock, stone, rejoice, faith, jail, fickle, unstable, shifting Paul tells the church at Philippi to “Rejoice in the Lord” so it will “Safeguard” their faith.

This man was naked, he cut himself with stones, and he lived in a graveyard. He was a freak of nature! After a small conversation, Jesus casts the demons into a herd of pigs and they ran down the hill, jumped into the water, and were drowned. When the pig farmers ran into the village to tell the people what had happened, they came out to run Jesus out of town. They wanted to know what happened and how did Jesus do this thing. Jesus happened…and they didn’t want anything to with Jesus, the very one who could save their souls and change their lives. grave, graveyard, tomb, tombs, headstone, chains, rock, cutter, demons, legion Jesus and his disciples show up in the town of Gadarene and a man that is possessed with 2,000 demons meet him as he gets out of the boat.

Even though Moses was faithful and did lead the people out, Moses had some flaws. He doubted God and tried to persuade God out of choosing him at first. Then his biggest flaw was not speaking to the rock to get water but instead, out of anger, he struck the rock twice! Because he disobeyed God, Moses only got to see the promised land and didn’t enter it. The author’s point is Jesus is better than Moses because he was 100% faithful to God and never had a single flaw! And since Jesus is greater, we can put our faith and trust in Him… Jesus, Moses, faithful, flaws, rock, water, emotions Moses was chosen by God to lead the Hebrew people out of Egyptian bondage and into a land God had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

We don't want to be wearing a millstone necklace! 51:46 no Jesus tells his disciples “Temptations will always come but sorrow awaits the one who does the tempting!” In the last podcast we talked about what temptation is and where it comes from. In this podcast, we look at the what sin is and the dangers of sin. Sin separates us from God and our whole goal is to be closer to God. If we choose sin then we choose to be separated from God! However, the good news is, if we have made Jesus our Lord and Savior and are striving to be like him on a daily basis, then we have an advocate with the Father that pleads our case and our sin is forgiven when we confess it and turn back to him. Bur knowing the dangers of sin, Jesus says that we don’t want to be the one who tempts others to sin. In fact, he says it would be better if we took a millstone, a very heavy rock, tied it around our neck, and drown in the sea! Why so drastic? Because we are to lead people TO God, not AWAY from God. If we are causing people to stumble in sin, then we aren’t showing the love, the heart of God and that is our purpose! Love like Jesus so you don’t have to wear a millstone necklace… sin, millstone, necklace, danger, rock, sea, drown Jesus tells his disciples “Temptations will always come but sorrow awaits the one who does the tempting!” In the last podcast we talked about what temptation is and where it comes from.
