15. Martyred Series - Stephen the Preacher
<p>*Audio issue resolved. If you tried listening to the episode previously, please try again as the audio has been restored. Thank you!</p> <p><strong>Stephen</strong>, (died 36 CE, Jerusalem), the first Christian <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/martyr">martyr</a>, whose apology before the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/sanhedrin">Sanhedrin</a> (<a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Acts-of-the-Apostles-New-Testament">Acts of the Apostles</a> 7) points to a distinct strand of belief in early <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/Christianity">Christianity</a>. His defense of his faith before the rabbinic court enraged his Jewish audience, and he was taken out of the city and stoned to death. His final words, a prayer of forgiveness for his attackers (Acts of the Apostles 7:60), echo those of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Jesus">Jesus</a> on the cross (Luke 23:34).</p> <p>Even though Christian persecution has gone less is our faces and more digital in this new age in most modernized countries, Christian persecution is still spreading widely across the globe as more and more people are converting to Christianity. </p> <p>The West African nation – Africa’s most populous and divided roughly evenly between Christians and Muslims – has been plagued for years by rising sectarian tensions and the Islamist terror group <a href="https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/topics/b/boko-haram-nigeria/" target="_blank">Boko Haram</a>, which most recently was blamed for a massacre of scores of farmers in Borno State.</p> <p>Nigeria joins Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan on the US Department of State’s Countries of Particular Concern (CPC) list, which names and shames governments which have “engaged in or tolerated ‘systematic, ongoing, [and] egregious violations of religious freedom.’” Those nine nations were also on the <a href="https://www.state.gov/religious-freedom-designations/" target="_blank">2018</a> and <a href="http://www.state.gov/united-states-takes-action-against-violators-of-religious-freedom/" target="_blank">2019</a> CPC lists.</p> <p>“Today, the United States, a nation founded by those fleeing religious persecution … once again took action to defend those who simply want to exercise this essential freedom,” <a href="https://www.state.gov/united-states-takes-action-against-violators-of-religious-freedom-2/" target="_blank">stated</a> Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.</p> <p>“… And yet our work is far from complete.”</p> <p>Report by Christianity Today. </p>

14. “The Jesus Breakup”
In our relationship with the Holy Spirit, how would we rate the strength and presence of the Holy Spirit in our life on a scale 0-7? 7 being you are walking arm in arm with Jesus everyday, you're in the word daily, you are praying and talking to God throughout the day, and there is a total and complete friendship with the Holy Spirit. Now, first let me say, I know Jesus would never do what I'm about to hypothetical propose this but let's say hypothetically, Jesus came to you one day as your friend and said, "You know Sally, you haven't been tithing or giving money to the needy. You are aren't really around much for me anymore, your always busy with work and social media, and it just seems like you don't want to have time for me anymore. I think I'm just ready to move on for now." Could you imagine if Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords actually broke up with you because you were never there for him. Can you even comprehend how devastated you would be? actually, I think the better question should be asked, would we even notice he wasn't there? We often tell ourselves yeah I'm saved but I don't really need to make time for him, for prayer, or reading my bible. As long as i love my neighbor and love God, I'm good to go. When you ranked your relationship with the Holy Spirit how do you think your doing now? Going back to the hypothetical, because again this would never happen, but it makes for an interesting thought...what if your relationship you thought was a 5 is really a 0? Are you really walking with the holy spirit or are you already passed the breakup stage because you didn't even notice he was gone? Now back to reality, no more hypothetical, I promise, today anyway. The Holy Spirit never leaves us after we become "acceptors" of Jesus Christ and the Spirit enters our temple but the feeling of his presence can come and go. We may already be feeling like the Spirit of God has left us. It may feel like that for a time but it is up to us to ask for forgiveness so we can continue the relationship and mend our wounded friend, the Holy Spirit.

13. Preparation - Part 2 - David
<p>[OPENING PRAYER]</p> <p>Sovereign Lord, you created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. Have mercy on us for you are perfect and we are sinners. Your grace and mercy is unending. Holy Spirit we beg your presence in this place. Allow us the gift of clarity; that we may hear your words today and not our own. Continue to guide us along the path you have laid out before us. Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name. The King of Glory, The Lord of Heavens’ Armies, Yahweh. Amen.</p> <p>[INTRO]</p> <p>God strategically chose David born not of favor nor status but a place of low stature and insignificance. Manual labor instead of paid labor. Somebody toughened from their personal experience in the early years of life instead of a one who might have had their commencement into life slightly less challenging, with the slightly more favorable jobs, and a lesser amount of physical labor. Not a silver spoon but a modest wooden cup...</p> <p>A couple of items specifically worth touching on here in verse 11 and verse 12: Verse 11 having to do with being a shepherd and verse 12 has to do with his youth. I think we have some misconceptions about what shepherding is like, especially back at this time. Given our current American culture has gravitated towards automation and industrialization, below is an excerpt about a modern-day shepherd in a third-world country so we have a little glimpse into what a shepherd does in a day. As you read be mindful of a young boy doing all these things by himself thousands of years ago...</p> <p>...I do want to emphasize, David was not first, second, third, or fourth in line. Coming in dead last in an ancient culture which looked only at the first and second-born a primary indicator through which we see evidence that God will use a “nobody” and make him or her a “somebody” for His divine purpose. Emphasizing this point further we go back to scripture, 1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV), “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”</p>
