Episode 124 - "Tree-Killing Monster"

Take Responsibility for Obedience and GrowthWhy isn't it enough just to "come to Jesus"? What's the real issue behind burying your talent? And how can we care for others without getting too tangled up in their emotions and difficulties? This week we kick off four weeks on fruitfulness, beginning with a hard look at our accountability to God for our choices. We ask each other tough questions about judgment and fruitfulness in a "Do You Understand?" segment that lets us talk about things like "Markan sandwiches" and "sheep bleating." And our five Through the Week challenges invite you to be a secret agent of good and watch out for "sour grapes."The Big Idea: We aim to influence and care for others, but our responsibility lies 100% with our own choices.Weekly Challenges: Find this week’s Through the Week challenges here.Show NotesCross Training - "The Buck Stops Here" (DAILY DOWNLOAD)Cross Training - Through the Week Challenges - Week 37Like the Teacher: Matthew 12:33-37 (VERSE)The Bible Geeks Facebook Group (FACEBOOK)Support the Show
