What's the truth about Judas Iscariot? Has he truly been misunderstood all this time? Pastor Greg Laurie makes a biblical case for just how evil Judas actually was. Notes: Focus verse - Matthew 26 Judas Iscariot was perhaps the most paradoxical and wicked man in the Bible. Was Judas Iscariot misunderstood? Satan put the idea into Judas's mind to betray Christ. John 13:2 Judas could have resisted that temptation. Judas initiated the betrayal of Christ. Matthew 26:14-16 Judas was a pretender, an actor, a performer. Don't let someone else's inconsistency keep you away from following the only one who is consistent, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the perfect example. Read Matthew 26:21-24 Even though Jesus knew what Judas was up to, He demonstrated love to Judas to the very end. Read Matthew 26:39-50 Jesus was considering the load of sin He would bear. Jesus cried out "Abba, Father," Mark 14:36 When worry causes you to choke, cry out to God. Jesus was a model of what to do in times of uncertainty. Jesus demonstrated His divine power and gave a glimpse of His glory when the Roman soldiers came to arrest Him. Jesus was in complete control of everything. He was going to the cross as a Victor, not as a Victim. Judas ignored all the warnings that Jesus gave. The way Judas betrayed Christ was so abhorrent. Matthew 26:49 Judas was a hypocrite. Jesus reached out to Judas with love. Matthew 26:50 Jesus offered Judas one last chance to repent. Read Matthew 27:2-5 Judas did not have a friend in the world except for Jesus whom he just betrayed. Judas was remorseful. Matthew 27:3 God will not violate the will of man. He will affirm us in the decisions we make. But a true child of God will not continue to live in a pattern of sin. 1 John 3:9-10 Two men failed Jesus on one night, Judas and Peter. Judas Iscariot turned away and walked into eternal remorse. Simon Peter walked into the open arms of God. --- Learn more about Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries at harvest.org (https://harvest.org/) .

Sometimes the practical nature of the book doesn't seem "spiritual" enough to be part of the Bible. Verses addressing laziness and hard work, or not co-signing on debt can feel too worldly or practical, but in fact the great insight Proverbs gives us is how innately spiritual every day is. If God created the world, and He did, then it would make sense that God has something to say about how to best live and thrive in it. Proverbs and the Wisdom Literature explores that with one important caveat. Proverbs must be understood rightly. Wisdom literature offers principles not promises. Discover what that means, and how Proverbs offers a Godly skill for living.

Mental illness is on the rise, and as Christians, we need to ask two crucial questions: How do we understand this crisis? and How do we engage with it in a caring, Christ-centered way? In this talk, we explore: ? The mental health epidemic and its impact on life expectancy ? Decades of scientific research-what it has uncovered and where it has fallen short ? The role of faith in addressing depression, anxiety, and loneliness ? How Christians can respond with truth, compassion, and action With years of experience in counseling and education, Dr. Ryan Burkhart shares a powerful journey from studying biblical counseling to working with at-risk youth, all leading to a deeper understanding of how faith and mental health intersect. If you're looking for a faith-based perspective on the mental health crisis and how we can be part of the solution, this is for you. Watch now and join the conversation! ?
