Mary Etta Mest Podcast

After Mary and Joseph arrived at their destination after a long trek on foot and on a donkey. . . After they finally found a place to sleep and to birth a baby. . . After that, we have this part of the story. . . Luke 2:8-20

In this podcast I share about Weeds and Wheat, Based on Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43, and Psalm 86: 11-17 and Romans 8:12-25 Jesus addresses the crowd with a parable about a wheat field in which weeds appear.  Jesus says after a farmer sows wheat, an enemy comes at night and sows weeds among the wheat.  What could be the lesson here?  Join me and hear the explanation.

In this podcast, I share "Is the Seed Alive?"  Based on Matthew 13:1-9; 18-23 and Isaiah 55:10-13 Jesus uses parables to teach his followers how to live.  This parable is about sowing seeds on various kinds of surfaces.  Some surfaces are productive.  Some not so much.  Later, Jesus explains to his disciples that the surfaces are really the condition of our hearts and minds when we hear the Word of God.

In this episode, I share about Ezekiel, a prophet of God, based on Ezekiel, chapter 37, verses 1-14.  I also mention "aliveness" from various places in the Bible, including Genesis 2:7, Luke 23:43, Luke 24, John 11:1-44, and Acts 9:40.
