121. Why Does Some Of Jesus' Teaching Sometimes Not Really Make Much Sense?
Remez was a Rabbinical teaching technique meaning hint or clue. Rabbi Jesus uses this and would assume the listens know the full Biblical text. The Rabbi Jesus would quote one verse of the Bible and want you to say the next line as the real answer.

118. How To Overcome Spiritual Procrastination
In this episode, Cris talks to us about the issue of 'Spiritual Procrastination' and how to overcome it. We all do it. We say "I need to know more before I can serve", or "I need go pray more before I can serve" or "I can do that later down the line" or even "I have too much going on to be able to serve". So what do we need to do to become more fruitful.
Proverbs 20:4 “The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.”
Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men…”
Proverbs 26:13 “The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!”
Proverbs 6:9-11 “How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep-So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.”

86. How to build back without building bigger (Part 3)
Looking at Luke 12:13-21 we explore a story all about greed, excess and stuff. How do we build back in such a way that we are a blessing to others. What are you wanting to shape your life around?
Quote used: “The west is based upon a consumerism philosophy which is based upon a greed centred economy. Our enormously productive economy… demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying of goods into a ritual that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption…. We need things consumed fast, worn out, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever accelerated rate.”
Book called Consumerism and teenagers.

In this podcast episode we explore two events of Jesus' last week. One being the triumphal entry to Jerusalem and the other being his crusifixion.
