In Episode 20, the word is out on Jesus as he preaches the good news and provides healings and is now getting ready to speak to his biggest crowd yet - at the Sermon on the Mount!    Jesus, knows that as the crowds and followers dramatically increase, power and money can quickly come into contention with His ability to share His message.  As a result of foreseeing this possibility, before speaking to the crowds, He gathers His leadership team and ensures they are aligned to their purpose and the contention that fame and fortune can have on following Jesus.  Join Those Crazy Bible Study Guys as we dive into the definitions of beatitudes and meekness to, once again, see how the worlds' view (fame and fortune) and God's view (the heart) conflict and are polar opposites of each other.

In Episode 18, Jesus began to build his leadership team by adding 2 sets of brothers (that all are fisherman) as his first 4 disciples.  Those Crazy Bible Study Guys continue to earn their name as they not only take the topic of fishing in the direction of appreciating the amount and variations of God's creations but they also go back to their insight of how when God asks us to join him in his work and ministry, the devil begins to put IF questions to create doubt versus us saying YES right away and not even considering entertaining the devil's IFs.   Join Those Crazy Bible Study Guys as 7 simple verses show the power of learning from the first 4 disciples how to immediately say YES to God's calling and experiencing a life that is rewarding well beyond the perceived safety of questioning and entertaining the devil's IFs.

In Episode 17 Those Crazy Bible Study Guys see Jesus' ministry on earth formally begin and, coincidentally, he begins his initial preaching with the same simple tagline as John the Baptist with "Repent!"   This leads to a deep discussion about how we are human and make mistakes.  Even after repenting, there are areas in our life we are going to fail.  Those Crazy Bible Study Guys challenge themselves and each of you to develop your relationship with Christ and know that when you have those moments, He is there with open arms, unending grace and the desire to continue growing in His relationship with you!

Episode 16 heats up as Those Crazy Bible Study Guys continue the study of  the battle between the devil and Jesus as it kicks into high gear!   Using his tactic of opening up a crack of doubt so we begin to question God, the devil himself begins to quote scripture in his own deceptive way to try to trip up Jesus and get him to succumb to the devil's request!   Join Those Crazy Bible Study Guys as they uncover the formula of the devil opening statements with IF to open the mind's eye and cast doubt while Jesus combats with IT to use the ultimate weapon against the devil and his schemes:  what is written in God's word!

Join Those Crazy Bible Study Guys in Episode 15 as we see firsthand the model Jesus sets for us in dealing with the devil as he goes from being baptized to facing the devil's temptations after 40 days and nights of fasting.  Even the devil knows that God's word is a key weapon in spiritual battle as he uses it himself to try to cause Jesus to sin.  The study reminds Those Crazy Bible Study Guys of the devil's well known tactics of pride and fear as well as how we often try to rationalize giving in to temptation that may very well be Satan trying to disrupt a plan or purpose God has for our lives.

Break out your fidget spinner as you join Those Crazy Bible Study Guys in Episode 14 as we see our first exposure in the bible to the Trinity!   However, before that, we dive a little further into the Pharisees (they are not "fair you see") and the Sadducees (they are "sad you see") and how they were willing to compromise their values and be concerned first with others perceptions of themselves (something we continue to see today).   Those Crazy Bible Study Guys see how even a big, burly guy like John the Baptist with humility and strong faith in Jesus was used by God to baptize Jesus as the formal start of Jesus' earthly ministry.

Well, if you like straight-shooters, then you're going to want to join Those Crazy Bible Study Guys in Episode 13 as John the Baptist tells the Pharisees and Sadducees like it is!   We see why God chose John as the announcer of Jesus' earthly ministry as he reminds us that repenting and accepting Christ's open invitation to everyone is just getting things started!  Those Crazy Bible Study Guys learn it's more as John the Baptist tells it like it is that our acceptance of Christ is too good just to have and put on a shelf, but rather should be used to bear fruit and reflect the change in our life through how we treat others!  
REFERENCE NOTES:Paul's writing about the fruit of the Spirit is found in Galatians 5: 22-23. In the New International Version of the Bible, these verses read: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
