    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. 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! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Warning! This episode is not suitable for children!&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mature Audience Only&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ever since I was old enough to read the bible and understand it, I have come across the words “Fornication” and “Adultery” but did not know there was a difference. The two are closely related but they each mean something different. Most translations will use the words “sexual immorality” instead of “Fornication”. In the church at Corinth, a young man was committing sexual immorality with his stepmom! Yeah! He was having sex with his dad’s wife! And the bad thing was, the church was tolerating the sin and ignoring it! Paul says, “This can’t be happening and you need to deal with it immediately!” &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Paul tells the church at Philippi to “Rejoice in the Lord” so it will “Safeguard” their faith. 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. &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jesus has told his followers that he would be betrayed, killed, buried, but that he would be raised back to life on the third day. None of the disciples ever got it despite being told many times! Not even the women and they are much better listeners than men!  Verse 1 says Mary Magdalene went and bought spices to bring to the tomb to put on Jesus' body which tells me she was expecting there to be a body in that tomb. As she and two other women  were walking tomb, they were discussing who they could get to roll the stone away so they could get inside to the body. To their surprise, the stone had already been rolled back, the body of Jesus was gone, and there was some dude having a conversation with the, telling them Jesus had risen just as he had told them and that he was waiting for them in Galilee. They left the tomb scared for their lives! They didn't understand until later when Jesus showed up and rebuked them for their disbelief. Do you believe in the risen Savior? &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jesus was leaving the Temple with his disciples when he tells them "This building you see will be completely destroyed and not one stone will be left on top of another." They were curious and wanted to know when this is going to take place so Jesus gives them some signs to look for. However, he ties these signs into his returning toward the end of Matthew 24 and we discuss these signs so that you will be prepared! Even so come quickly Lord Jesus! &lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jesus is challenged by the Pharisees and Sadducees yet again and after a mic drop moment, he gets in the boat with his disciples and heads to Philippi. While there he warns them about the leaven of the pharisees and they mistake what Jesus is saying. They think he is scolding them because they forgot to bring the bread along on the trip. So Jesus takes this opportunity to give a survey to his disciples and he wants to know who people say he is and then he asks his disciples who they say he is. Peter gives an answer that is, in the words from an Ashford and Simpson song, solid as a rock! We can trust Jesus, the immovable stone! &lt;/p&gt;
