With this being the Words and Stuff episode right before Easter Sunday, there’s a particular message I’d like to share with you that I consider to be a good primer heading into this incredibly symbolic weekend. This will not be the normally expected Easter-related message, and I intend to bring the pages of your Bible one step closer to being relevant in your life today in the process. *This audio is taken from today's live-stream on both YouTube and Rumble.

While Jesus continues on with His ministry, a variety of interesting topics come up, in regards to needing some clarity and direction. These scriptures today will highlight the seemingly complicated ability to follow Jesus correctly while dealing with the current human laws, as well as pushing back against the programming that comes from the constructing of human rules devoid of God’s actual guidance. Also, there’s a heavy emphasis on how to properly value the riches on this earth, as compared to what awaits for us in Heaven.

If you’re like me, you probably have some level of struggle with the concept of being in control. Maybe not so much to the point of wanting to control others, but at the very least you’re trying to avoid feeling or becoming out of control. So when it comes to giving up control over my life to God, it’s not difficult because I don’t want to and instead I want even more power over my own life or something like that. Rather, my problem was actually not fully understanding how to let go and let God take over. The idea in itself sounds incredible and I have zero concerns when I think about doing it. Maybe the answer I am looking for lies within the process of God taking control. Today’s study will be for those in a similar boat or know of someone in a similar circumstance.
