Touching Monday Episode 63 - More Than Peacekeepers (Matthew 5:9)

You don't have to look far to find some kind of conflict ...sometimes you only have to look within yourself! We live in a world filled with fighting and warfare, and it has been going on since the Fall of man in the Garden of Eden. Yet Christ calls His children to be makers of peace instead of creators of conflict. Join us as we discuss what it means to be a "peacemaker!"

Touching Monday Episode 62 - The Reward of a Pure Heart (Matthew 5:8

Even the possibility of having a "pure heart" is amazing to think about! But this condition does not come through our efforts to do better; purity of heart comes only through a relationship with Christ! We should be asking ourselves, "Where or how is my focus? Is it on the Lord and my relationship with Him, or is it divided among all my other responsibilities?" Listen along as we talk about the beatitude of purity of heart!

Touching Monday Episode 61 - A Place at the Table (Mark 3:31-35)

The Bible provides so much help to us to think clearly about our relationships and the priority we place on them as we go about life. In Mark 3, Jesus makes some statements about family that seem shocking at first, but that provide helpful perspective on how we view these relationships with others, particularly our family.

Touching Monday Episode 60 - Who Is My Neighbor? (Luke 10:25-37)

Many are familiar with the story of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10. Jesus uses this event to get us to think about our personal involvement in the lives of others, and the decisions we make about how we might best help when a need presents itself. Are we looking for opportunities to show mercy to others around us, or do we see others as distractions and obstacles in our lives? Listen along as we discuss our response to those around us!  Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456106/fan_mail/new]
