    <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>In this episode we talk about Predestination and what that exactly means but what is more important than Predestination is what Paul said before he gives us the idea: All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. I don’t think we have a clue of what it means to be in Christ and what blessings we have because of Jesus. It is absolutely mind blowing and what is incredible is that God did it even while we continue to reject Him! His love for us is absolutely amazing! We have everything we could possibly need and more in Jesus so why do we continue to reject him? Why would you not want salvation, healing, earthly blessings, and spiritual blessings that are in heavenly places?

  <description>The Pharisees just don't seem to get it. Sparring with Jesus is not a good thing but this time they bring some help--some teachers of the law. Surely these bible thumpers can outsmart God Himself! Nope...They demand a sign to prove to them that Jesus' authority comes from God like he claims. Jesus tells them the only sign they'll get is the sign of Jonah, a prophet they'd be familiar with. He says just as Jonah was in the fish's belly for three days, the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth for three days. He was talking about his death, burial, and resurrection but they didn't understand that. Jesus tells them they have someone greater than Jonah but they refuse to repent and they have someone wiser than Solomon but they refuse to listen. God isn't sending you a sign when He has already sent His Son! You either believe or you don't!

  <description>Matthew gives us a time frame when Jesus, the Messiah was born and then he introduces his readers to some men called Magi or wise men, who were astrologers and studied the stars. One star in particular has caught their attention and they follow it for about two years. By the time they arrive in Jerusalem, Jesus is a toddler and living in a house in Bethlehem. Herod the Great has a conversation with these wise men and feels threatened after learning there is a new king in town so he has all the male children, two years and younger, in and around Bethlehem killed thinking he would get rid of this threat to his throne. The only thing he didn’t consider was this is God’s son and God would protect him to accomplish His will! An angel warns Joseph several times as to what is going on and hey flee to Egypt then to Nazareth. Can anything good come from Nazareth? You better believe it!
