Guidance Spiritual Discipline Gem
Week 10 This week we are on the search for the Worship Spiritual Discipline Gem. Worship is something that the Old and New Testaments both talk about and there is a lot of references to the how’s of worship and what it’s really all about. The Bible is clear about worship being what’s referred to as True Worship that exalts God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit above all other things. There are many things in our world that can take us away from true worship that can be turned into an idol that is worshipped. God told Israel many times that they were to have no other gods, but him and him alone. It is one of the ten commandments. The first commandment in Exodus 20:3, says "You shall have no other gods before Me." So, anything that comes between our worship to the true God can and might be considered idol worship depending on the extent we carry this out. www.professorandfriends.com |
Fasting Spiritual Discipline Gem
Week 8 Today our explorers are searching for the Fasting Spiritual Discipline Gem. In the Bible, fasting is a spiritual discipline of voluntarily abstaining from food, and sometimes water, for a set period to draw closer to God. It is typically coupled with intentional and focused prayer to humble oneself, seek God's guidance, or express repentance. The practice is not meant to manipulate God but to change the heart of the person fasting. So, today we are going to dive deep into this subject and tell you more about what fasting is all about! www.professorandfriends.com |
Simplicity Spiritual Discipline Gem
Week 7 This week we are looking for the gen called Simplicity! We all know that this world in which we live can be very complicated at times. With everyone screaming at you about getting the latest toy to new phones, and many more things that we might think we need. In reality we could all use a little more simplicity in our daily lives. Sometimes all the things that we prioritize in light of God, really seems like we could let go of some things, so that we can spend more quality time with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I do want you to know that God, waits for us to come to him and spend time with him every day. So, everyone! Let’s work to make our life a little simpler and spend time with God a little more than what we do! I’ll be back next week! www.professorandfriends.com |

Solitude Spiritual Discipline Gem
Week 6 Our story today is on Solitude, something that all of us as believers in Jesus should be doing on a regular practice. The Bible views solitude as a positive, spiritual discipline to connect with God, refresh oneself, and prepare for ministry, as demonstrated by Jesus's own use of solitude for prayer and reflection. Some key principles include seeking God's presence, gaining a fresh view, and finding rest, with Bible verses like "Be still, and know that I am God" found in Psalm 46:10, encouraging quiet trust. While not a mandatory command, solitude is presented as a wise and beneficial practice for spiritual growth and encountering God. www.professorandfriends.com |
Spiritual Discipline God's Word Gem Week 5
Today we are looking at the Spiritual discipline of God’s Word. The word of God is important because it reveals who God is, His love, and His will for humanity, providing guidance, comfort, and hope for life, and salvation. It acts as a spiritual instruction manual, equipping believers with wisdom to discern right from wrong, strengthen them against temptation, and foster a deeper relationship with God. Through its teachings, God offers a path to freedom, inner peace, and eternal life. So, join us today as our team sets out to find the God’s Word Gem. www.professorandfriends.com |
Spiritual Discipline Meditation Gem Week 4
Today we are talking about Meditation. The Bible encourages a form of meditation called mind-full-ness, which involves deep thought on God's Word, His nature, and His actions. The world’s view on this is emptying the mind. in a nutshell it’s the global view of meditation is therefore a mixture of practical wellness adoption, spiritual devotion, and critical examination of its majority evolution. While the biblical meditation leads to inner wisdom, spiritual flourishing, and a closer relationship with God, as seen in verses like Psalm 1:2 which says, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. which describes the blessedness of meditating on God's law day and night. The Key aspects include thinking God's teachings, fixing one's thoughts on what is true, noble, and praiseworthy, and allowing these thoughts to influence one's character and actions. When we meditate on God’s word, we are allowing God to flood our soul and life with his words and wisdom to live life to the full. www.professorandfreinds.com Don't Forget to download the Kids Booklet |
Spiritual Discipline Prayer Gem
Week 3 Today we are looking for the gem of prayer! In the Bible, prayer is a vital spiritual discipline. A habitual, conversational engagement with God that helps believers conform their will to God's will for our life. It also express our dependence on God and participate in His purposes. It is not a one-sided request but a relationship, modeled by Jesus and taught as a pattern for living, encompassing praise, petition, and a deep reliance on God's authority and love. In our adventures today our explorers are going to embark on a, let’s say batty adventure! www.professorandfriends.com Don't forget to download the Kids Booklet PDF on Website |

Salvation Spiritual Discipline
Week 2 The Search for Spiritual Disciplines. There are two key parts of Spiritual Disciplines. First, is purpose to nurture spiritual growth, deepen faith, and promote godliness. Second, they are not automatic or accidental but require intentional effort and commitment. This Spiritual growth will take a lifetime to grow in our walk with Jesus, It does not just happen overnight. This week the team is going after the gem of Salvation! After Confession last week, this week it’s about Salvation. Coming to Jesus and letting him be the Lord of our life and we submit to him! Keep this in mind that Spiritual disciplines are not about earning God's favor but about aligning oneself with God's grace and power, allowing Him to work in and through the individual. www.professorandfriends.com Don't forget to download the kid's booklet PDF on our website! |
Confession Spiritual Discipline Week 1
Today is the start of our new series called, The Search for Spiritual Disciplines. We are going to take you on a thirteen-week Indiana Jones type of adventure that will lead hopefully to the discovery of the most precious rare type of gems this world has ever seen. Our host is Clyde and Danny Jones who will be leading the expedition. Clyde and Danny are related to the famous Indiana Jones, who we all know very well. This week’s adventure takes us to the gem of Confession, known to be a red ruby with a brilliant color that sets this gem above the rest. The Spiritual Disciplines are basic yet very important. They cultivate spiritual growth, strengthen faith, and foster a deeper connection with God. They help individuals develop virtues, manage emotions, and find peace in life's challenges by providing structure and guidance for spiritual practices. www.professorandfriends.com |

How Can God Use Us Today
Week 13 Today is our coToday is our conclusion to this series. We are looking at How Can God Use Us Today. We’ve seen and talked a lot about many in the bible that were used of God in various ways. But today we are focusing on how God can use you. Just a regular ordinary human being. But wait! We might be ordinary, but when God gets involved, he can take the ordinary and turn it into an extraordinary adventure of a lifetime! So, let’s stay open as we explore this bible story today. God wants to use us in three major ways. First, He wants us to set our course on him. Our focus must be clear! Second, with Christ living deep inside us there is no room for fear! Third, God places within us his love that will go on and on out to others all around us. www.professorandfriends.com |

Four that Imagined What God Can Do. Week 12
Today we are looking at four that Imagined What God Can Do. These four are Joseph who went from being a son to slavery. Imprisoned to power and then Savior of nations. The next one is David, from Shepherd boy to killing Goliath. Then outlaw on the run to king! Becoming a great warrior along with his mighty men. Bringing Israel together into one tribe. The third person is a woman by the name of Esther who God elevated her to be a voice in the nation. That would save her people Israel. The last one is Paul who went from pharisee persecutor of the early church, by jailing the Christians and killing them. God had better plans for Paul who would become one of the greatest preachers of all time. None of these people set out to do what they did. It was God who empowered them to go beyond imagination! #joseph #kingdavid #esther #ApostlePaul www.professorandfriends.com |
Ministry & Service Part 2
Week 11 Our bible story today is Ministry and Service part 2. In the Bible, ministry and service are basically intertwined and refer to various acts of serving God and others, often with a focus on humility and love. This can encompass practical acts of service, like meeting physical needs, as well as spiritual service, such as sharing the gospel or teaching. The Bible emphasizes that all believers are called to participate in ministry, not just church leaders, and that each person has a unique role to play in serving the body of Christ. #ministry #ministryandservice #actsofservice #servinggod www.professorandfriends.com |

Personal Transformation Week 9
Today we are looking at the subject of Personal Transformation! The Bible has a lot to say about personal transformation, or being "born again," or coming to faith in Christ. It’s a is a radical change that occurs when someone accepts Jesus Christ as their savior. This involves a shift from a life dominated by sin to one that reflects the character and virtues of Jesus Christ. It is an ongoing process, beginning with salvation and continuing as the believer grows in their relationship with God. To further define this today, it’s simply turning away from the world’s view and lifestyles to live for Jesus and follow what the bible lays out for us as guidelines for living as a believer in Jesus Christ. #transformation #personaltransformation #virtuesofjesus #radicalchange www.professorandfriends.com |
|
Faith & Belief Week 8
Today we are looking at Faith and Belief. Although some people would flip the two first by saying Belief and Faith accompanies the Belief. If we look at this in light of salvation, We must believe who Jesus is and as we accept him into our life then faith comes in to believe what the Word of God says will happen. New beginnings, new life. Eternal life with God forever. And we can go on! If we are going to imagine what God can do through, you then both belief and faith go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other. So, today’s lesson is a partnership between these two important things that need to be in our life. #faith #belief #faithandbelief #wordofgod www.professorandfriends.com |
Focus On God's Glory Week 7
Today we are looking at “Focus On God’s Glory”. This is another powerful bible story all about the glory of God. Giving him the rightful place in our life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a kid, teen, young adult, Parent, or grandparents. We all need to know how to Give God glory. He is God, Creator, and His Son Jesus is coming back as King of Kings one day soon! Focusing on God's glory means bring into line one's thoughts, actions, and entire life with God's will and purpose, seeking to honor Him above all else. It involves recognizing God's worth, praising Him, and reflecting His character in all aspects of our life. #focusongodsglory #jesusiscomingbackagain #kingofkings #godsglory www.professorandfriends.com |
Encouragement & Hope Week 6
Our bible story today is on Encouragement and hope. There are many scriptures in the bible that address this topic and if we attempted to cover them all it would take longer than we have today. Some of these verses talk about joy and peace through God. Others tell us of peace while going through persecution or other troubling times we might have in our life. God’s word is our manual on how to live and conduct our life while here on earth. The bible is filled with scriptures as I said a moment ago that provide comfort, strength, peace, and joy knowing that God knows right where we are, and he cares about everything we go through. No matter how big or small he’s right there, but we must let him into our life. #encouragementndhope #godswordmanual #hope #encouragement www.professorandfriends.com |
Beyond Imagination Week 5
Today we are going to look closely at the statement, “Exceedingly, Abundantly, Above all”! In other words, Beyond Imagination! For this I want to bring you back to our main verse in Ephesians chapter three and verse twenty. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Whatever you're believing for, whatever you're dreaming about, God is going to take that and make it bigger, better and more rewarding than you've ever imagined. Beyond Imagination! Remember God has already figured out our life, so put your trust wholly on him and move as God moves you! #beyondimagineation #exceedinglyabundantly #godworksinus #godalwaysmakesitbigger #trustgod www.professorandfriends.com |
|
God Working Through Us
Week 4 Today we are looking at how God works through us. God works in people's lives in various ways, including through prayer, guidance from mentors, self-reflection, and by using others to offer support and encouragement. Many believe God also works through life experiences, both positive and negative, to shape individuals and bring them closer to His purpose. So, we have God’s guidance and direction in our life, as we walk with God there is a setting apart that God does in us called sanctification. It’s a big, long word but it means the process of being made holy or set apart for God's purposes. Along with this comes transformation in our life. Our desires line up with God, and we let go of earthly things to let God work in our life to be holy. #godworksthroughus #godsguidance #godsdirection #setapartforgod www.professorandfriends.com |
God's Power is Limitless Week 3
Our bible story is God’s power is limitless! The concept of God's power being limitless is a central theme in Christianity. It's often described as omnipotence, meaning God can do anything He desires, and is not bound by limitations. This implies that God is not subject to physical laws or human constraints, and His power extends to all aspects of the universe and beyond. The idea of God's limitless power often suggests that God can create, destroy, and sustain the universe without limitations. It also implies that God can intervene in human affairs and bring about miraculous events. One last note, the belief in God's limitless power can offer comfort and hope to those facing challenges, as it suggests that even the most difficult situations can be overcome with divine intervention. #GodsPower #Godislimitless #imaginewhatgodcandothroughyou www.professorandfriends.com |
Imagine What God Can Do Through You Week 2 Part 2
We are looking at Imagine What God can do Through You Part 2. We will continue exploring these passages in the book of Ephesians just a little closer, along with a few other verses that tell us what God wants to do with our life. Kept in mind, before God can do anything in us, we must be willing to serve and follow God with all our heart! As we yield to God, only them can he begin to shape us into the person he wants us to be. But we must surrender and be willing to allow God to work in us. The team is ready to tackle this today, www.professorandfriends.com |
Imagine What God Can Do Through You Part 1 Week 1
Today is the start of our new series called, “Imagine What God Can do Through You”! Many times, we tend as humans to think that God is so big, and that he really doesn’t have any time for all of our everyday things we face. I’m here to tell you that God really cares about all the little details of our life here on planet earth. Whatever your concept of God is, I’m here to tell you that he wants to be a part of your life and when we let God into our life, he can do more than we ever imagine. All this because God really loves us and wants to help us navigate everything, we face every day! www.professorandfriends.com |
|
Agents Of Change Week 13
Today is our last session in this series. But wait! Today we are going to define what it really means to be “Agents of Change” in our world today! We are going to review what we have looked at in the last twelve weeks. Then Today you will discover just exactly what God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have for you as Agents of Change. The world in which we live in have seen the fake and those who say they love God yet really do not have anything to do with him! As Agents of Change, we are to shine the light of Jesus to this dark and lost world. www.professorandfriends.com |
Determining God's Will Week 12
Today we are looking at Determining God’s will. There has always been so much said on this subject that it could really make your head spin out of control. Man has always tried to figure out God. But we must remember that God chooses us and gives us the choice to live for him. Determining God’s will for us is to let God guide our life and direct us in everything we do. To understand God's will, is a combination of spiritual practices and personal reflection is recommended. This includes praying for guidance, seeking counsel from godly individuals, studying the Bible for insights. www.professorandfriends.com |
God's Marching Orders for Life Week 11
Our bible story today. We are looking at God’s marching orders. Jesus before he ascended to heaven gave his disciples what’s called the great commission! These were to be their marching orders of what Jesus was wanting them to do. Some people come to faith in Jesus and never go any further in their walk with Jesus. But there is so much more in our daily walk as believers. The Great Commission is for all believers who are in Jesus. He expects us to spread the good news of the gospel of Jesus to our immediate area and everywhere we go telling people of the truth of who Jesus is and what he can do for them! www.professorandfriends.com |
|
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Week 10 Today we are looking at the infilling of the fullness of the Holy Spirit. This event is recorded in the book of Acts, from the second chapter and throughout the entire book we see how the Holy Spirit touched people’s lives and filled them with the fullness of his spirit! Some today say that this fullness doesn’t happen anymore, but The Holy Spirit is very much working in the lives of believers that want more of God and more of the fullness of the Holy Spirit today. Remember that Jesus promised his disciples that he would send the comforter, who is the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised his disciples they would receive power after the Holy Spirit came upon them, enabling them to be his witnesses which was spoken in Acts 1:8. www.professorandfriends.com |
Holy Spirit helper, counselor, and guide Week 9
Today we are starting on section three, on the spirit. We are talking about the Holy Spirit, who is our helper, counselor, and guide. But there’s much more to the Holy Spirit. Matter of fact there are really ten characteristics to the Holy Spirit. So, everyone hang on because you’re in for a treat today as we explore more about the Holy Spirit and why he is so important in our life today! www.professorandfriends.com |
Growth Maturing in Christ Week 8
Today we are looking at Spiritual Growth. As believers in Jesus after Salvation we start out as young baby Christians. Over time we need to begin to grow in Christ. In our walk, talk, and attitudes. Letting go of the things of this world and living for God all the way! We go from infants in our walk with Jesus to growing into Children, and from there hopefully mature into the person that Jesus wants us to be. Ephesians 4:15 says, But speaking the truth in love, we may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, Christ Himself, IN the modern English Version. Just like we do not remain as infants all our life. So, we must grow in Christ and become mature responsible Christians that Jesus wants us to be! www.professorandfriends.com |
Being Set Apart Week 7
Today we will be looking at the word Sanctification. If you ask me I say that this word is a fifty-dollar word. But to simply put it, It’s being set apart for God’s use of our life here on earth. Many people go through this life with no set goal, just going where ever the wind carries them. When God created us in our mother’s womb. He definitely has a plan for each of us. This is why when God calls us, he wants to set us apart for him. To live for him and share the love that God has for everyone in this world. We can follow the crowd, even the wrong crowd and we will never do anything good for God. Or we can determine that we will follow God all the way and let him set us apart! So, we can be his agents of change in this world that is lost without God. We Are The Agents Of Change! It’s time to shine for God! www.professorandfriends.com |
|
Salvation Week 6
We are starting a new section called the soul. There are three weeks where we will talk about Salvation, Sanctification which is being set apart for God, and Growth. Growing in your faith with God. Today is on salvation! This really is the first step to being transformed by Jesus. So, we must accept him as our personal savior and allow him to work in our life. This is why the mind section was first, because we need to set our mind on making sure that we are careful about what we see, hear, say, and do! Then we can begin to open our heart to Jesus and allow him to transform us from the inside out! www.professorandfriends.com |
What You Do Week 5
We are starting a new section called the soul. There are three weeks where we will talk about Salvation, Sanctification which is being set apart for God, and Growth. Growing in your faith with God. Today is on salvation! This really is the first step to being transformed by Jesus. So, we must accept him as our personal savior and allow him to work in our life. This is why the mind section was first, because we need to set our mind on making sure that we are careful about what we see, hear, say, and do! Then we can begin to open our heart to Jesus and allow him to transform us from the inside out! www.professorandfriends.com |
What You Say Week 4
What You Say! “We need to realize that our words can build or tear up depending on how, and what we say! The saying is "You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar," meaning it's easier to persuade people by being kind and polite rather than aggressive or rude. When you are rude you will run people away from you, and eventually no one will want to be around you. But if you are polite and kind then you will always be able to talk to people and have friends. This does make a lot of sense. The bible tells us to Speak in love to all people. When we don’t do this we can create a lot more trouble for ourselves than we want to deal with. www.professorandfriends.comm |
What You Hear Week 3
Today we are looking at what you hear! This is just as important as you see. What we hear can and will determine our heading into the path of life we take. By following what we hear. Some of these influences come from our family, friends, associates, and possibly others. Music is one of the biggest influences of the day and age in which we live today. The lyrics can carry positive or negative influences on what we hear. As always tell me the person or thing that influences you more, and I’ll tell you where you’re heading in life. Sometimes we feel that we might be able to handle listening to all the music that’s out there, but in reality it still comes back to Philippians four and verse eight. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. www.professornadfriends.com |
|
Be Careful Little Eyes What You See Week 2
Did you know that the bible has around sixty-six verses that talk about what you see! Yes you heard me. You’ll find a number in the Old and New Testament in your bible. It’s safe to say that God does put on emphasis on being careful about what we see. In this section we are looking at the mind. Today we will be looking at what we see! We may not realize this, but what we see can control our life more than what we will ever understand. Our eyes are recording what we see every day and as the pictures are transferred to our mind we process and catalog what we see to determine what we think and act on what we see. www.professorandfriends.com |
Introduction To Series
In these bible stories we will have three sections. The first being called The Mind. Dealing with four weeks of what we see, hear, say, and do. The second section is on the soul. Dealing with Salvation, being set apart, and growing in Christ. And the third section is on the Spirit. Dealing with our helper, baptism holy Spirit power, Orders for life, and God’s will for us. Then our last week we will have a big wrap up and pull it all together. I sure hope that you will join us as we set out to be TRANSFORMERS, Agent of Change for Jesus Christ. www.professorandfriends.com |
Transformers
Agents of Change This series is about being transformed in our mind, soul, and spirit. Learning to guard our minds with Jesus. Feeding our spiritual soul. Being full of the Holy Spirit, and God's direction in our life! |
The Great White Throne Judgment
Week 13 Today we are looking at the Great White Throne Judgment that will take place at the end of the 1,000 years called the Millennial reign of Jesus on this earth. I need all of you to listen, I want to give a snapshot of the events following Armageddon. After this Jesus will throw the Beast and the false prophet into the lake of fire. Then Jesus will bind up Satan and he too will be thrown into the abyss for 1,000 years. So, after this will be the millennial reign of Christ. Then Satan will be loosed once more to deceive those that will follow him. From here Jesus will once and for all defeat Satan and he along with all who are unbelievers will be thrown in the lake of fire forever. Check out our story today! www.professorandfriends.com |

Jesus and the Battle of Armageddon Week 12
The Battle of Armageddon is a prophesied event that will take place when Jesus returns to Earth for the Second Coming and destroys evil. The battle will be a final showdown between good and evil and will involve the entire Earth. Now everyone we want you to be aware that the Rapture is only when Jesus comes in the clouds to take the believers up that are ready to go. But after the Tribulation toward the end of the seven years is when Jesus comes back with his saints and the battle of Armageddon takes place. All the nations will be gathering to fight Israel and as Jesus returns the battle of Armageddon takes place, in the outlying areas of Israel. www.professorandfriends.com |
Be Rapture Ready Week 11
The Rapture will happen, yet no one really knows when. In the scriptures we are instructed by Jesus and the apostles that is will happen. For many who are not believers, it will be like a thief in the night to those who find that some of their relatives are gone. Nowhere to be found. Our group today is going to instruct everyone from the story in the bible about the 10 bridesmaids, five were wise and five were foolish. All I know is that I do not want to be left behind when the Rapture takes place. www.professorandfriends.com |
Facing Persecution Week 10
So, our story today is going to address the kids as well as the parents to hopefully help you as the parent to deal with your kids on how to handle this issue. Our society today is getting more anti God, Jesus than ever before. Some kids at schools across America have been bullied because of their faith in Jesus. There is a way to stand your ground and not shrink back when faced with persecution. But this doesn’t mean that anytime we face a setback that it’s persecution. To help us know more about this we need to know what the bible tells us about this subject. After all Jesus addressed this with his disciples many times. Check out our story today! www.professorandfriends.com |
The Signs Of The Times Part 2 Week 9
Today is part two with the signs of the times! today the signs are closing in on the coming of Jesus like never seen before. Yet all of these things Jesus talked about them, and they are recorded in the bible. Yet many people refuse to listen to or see what’s going on in front of them. This is beginning to look like what happened in the days of Noah. Only this time it’s 2025. And these events are unfolding right before us. So, Listen, learn and take heed! Many churches today are not sharing from their pulpits to their congregations. Some of the reasons are because they feel they may not be able to share this material right. While others are more concerned about other things than the return of Jesus! www.professorandfrinds.com |

Are You Ready For The Rapture
Part 1 Week 8 There have been thousands of Prophecies in the Old Testament Scriptures that talk about what will take place in the future. Yet this future is fast approaching even as we speak. Christ will come for all Christians, both living and dead, and take them to heaven. This event will be secret, and the world of unbelievers will not know it is happening. In light of our world today, we are in a place where this event could happen at any time. The sad part is that many churches today are not preaching the whole bible to tell believers what will really happen. Many are satisfied, not knowing, and this can be very devastating if we are not aware. Our hope is not to scare you, but to make you aware that the time is coming to an end. We as believers need to have our heart right with God and be aware that he can come at any time. www.professorandfriends.com |
The Second Temple Destroyed
Week 7 We are looking at the second temple that was destroyed by the Romans back in AD 70. The Jews were under heavy taxation from the Romans. The Jews led a revolt and occupied Jerusalem in 66 AD initiating the first Roman-Jewish war. In 70 AD the Romans reclaimed Jerusalem and destroyed the Second Temple with only a portion of the western wall remaining though recent archeological discoveries date portions of the wall to later periods. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple was catastrophic for the Jewish people. According to the contemporary historian Josephus, hundreds of thousands of Jews perished in the siege of Jerusalem and elsewhere in the country, and many thousands more were sold into slavery. Check out our story today! www.professeorandfriends.com |
The First Temple Destroyed
Week 6 "The First Temple," was built by King Solomon, but the building was destroyed four hundred years later. Because of Israel's continued sin against God. According to the holy scriptures it tells us in the Old Testament that some of Israel’s kings followed God, while others introduced idol worship and other gods! This was a great sin against God. For four hundred years God sent prophets to warn Israel to turn back to God. But most fell on deaf ears. So, then he sent the king of Babylon to conquer and destroy the temple. There were ten thousand Israelis that were taken captive into Babylon. They were there for seventy years! Check out our story today! www.professorandfriends.com |
A Nation's Army Destroyed
Week 5 We are looking at the famous story of the Red Sea Crossing by Moses and the Israelites. Keep in mind that the number of them were six hundred thousand men from ages to 20 to 60. Not including women and children and the elderly. Some have said that total could have been two point five up to three million people total. When they say 600,000, this refers only to the men 20 to 60 years of age who were able to fight if needed. So, I can understand why it took them a little over 10 hours to walk on dry ground across the red sea area. Check out our story today! www.professorandfriends.com |
|
Sodom Gomorrah and Nineveh Week 4
We are looking at two major stories that took place separately. The first part is the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. These were two sister cities not far from each other. God noticed the intense sin and how awful the people were. Along with the most awful things that should never have been done. So, the bible tells us that when these two cities would not listen that God destroyed them with brimstone and fire. I see that since that day to this day nothing has ever grown back there. Not even weeds. And no one has ever rebuilt these cities from that time to today! The next city we are looking at is Nineveh! If you remember God sent Jonah, after the whale trip Jonah listened to God, and went to Nineveh to tell them they had 30 days to repent, or God would destroy them. What’s amazing is that Nineveh, fasted and sent time repenting and God spared them. But one hundred and fifty years later they went back to sinning and being bad. So, God destroyed them, and they never rebuilt the city. Today it lies in ruins. www.professorandfriends.com |

Tower of Babel Week 3
We are looking at the Tower of Babel today! The Tower of Babel has been a very interesting controversial thought for many centuries. But again, there is overwhelming proof that this event really took place. Did you know that the language groups that came out of this experience all recorded such an event like this confusion of tongues. Another interesting fact is that this tower site is located in what is called Babylon back in the bible days. Yes, Babylon still exists today as a set of ruins in modern-day Iraq, about 55 miles south of Baghdad. To this day no one has been able to rebuild the Babylonian empire. One final note for now is that from the time of the flood till the tower of babel. It was three hundred and forty years. It’s sad that mankind didn’t learn from the flood, after all these were Noah’s descendants. www.professorandfriends.com |
The Flood Week 2
We are telling you of a global flood that happened back in the days of Noah! The story of the flood in the Bible is told in Genesis chapters six through nine. God sent the flood to destroy humanity and return the Earth to its watery state before Creation. The flood was a judgment on humanity's wickedness. Because man had gone far from God. God chose Noah to survive the flood and continue the human race. Noah built an ark to house himself, his family, and certain animals. Two of every kind. Here’s the timeline The flood began when "the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened". The flood lasted 150 days, and the ark landed on the mountains of Ararat. After a year and 27 days, Noah and his family disembarked from the ark. www.professorandfriends.com |

Nothing Happens Without something causing it to happen Week 13
It is a leap of faith to believe in Jesus. In other words, does a person have to give up all sense and thinking in order to believe that God exists? Also, that God would live among us, and die for us? Most Scientists and those who claim to love science believe that Christians are some sort of gullible halfwits for believing such farfetched claims about God and Jesus. So, are Christians really half crazy? Today we are going to examine this and several other questions about God. The rest of the team will be here to share more with you today. It’s been great to be here with you these last thirteen weeks. Until we meet again! www.porfessorandfriends.com |
Getting To Know The Real Jesus Week 12 Part 2
Today we are looking at Part 2 of Time to set the record straight, Getting To Know The Real Jesus! Last week we gave you three bible stories that show the love of Jesus toward people here on earth. Today we will show you three more stories of people who were touched by the love Jesus has! Remember while our present-day world is busy being woke and telling us what we should do to fit into society. God’s Word has a whole different approach for us to live for Jesus and be successful! The rest of the team is coming to tell us more this week about the love of Jesus toward mankind. www.professorandfriends.com |
Getting To Know The Real Jesus
Week 11 Today I want to set the record straight about Jesus, this is part one. By Getting to know the real Jesus. And not what the world says. Some today have said that Jesus never lived, or that he never rose from the dead. And many more lies and things that might get us to wonder if God is real. I’m here to tell you that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as real as you and I are! There has been recorded history that in fact shows that Jesus was real and he walked on this earth and died on the cross. By it doesn’t end there, because he rose from the grave along with a number of other graves that brought forth the dead! www.professorandfriends.com |
Set Apart For God Week 10
In our story today, the world says to us that we need to get with the times of this present day! But in God’s word he sets us apart for God’s use! Before we came to faith in Jesus we were in this world and a big part of it without God in our life. But since coming to faith in Jesus, he is setting us apart from this world to be used for God’s purposes in our life. Remember we still have to live in this world for a while, but the day is coming when Jesus will come for us and we will be with him in heaven one day soon! www.professorandfriends.com |

Lose World Eternal Destiny
Week 9 Today we are looking at Lose World, Eternal Destiny! The world says, Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself. Again, remember that we in ourselves cannot create anything other than Kaos! Many believe that Jesus said this. BUT THE Reality is Jesus never said this! Instead, Jesus said If you lose this world, for me then you will have Eternal Life! So, taking up your cross is surrendering to God and following Jesus all the way! www.professorandfriends.com |
Jesus Is Our Life Source
Week 8 We’ve all heard the sayings that go like this. “God helps those who help themselves”. Then people will say, that’s in the bible. But the reality is, THAT IS NOT IN THE BIBLE AT ALL! It’s just man’s way of saying that God said it. This term started back in Ancient Greece, and Professor Whoopie will address this more. Now here’s what Jesus really said! If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are truly united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. John 15:7 Amplified Bible. As we live for Jesus, he is our life source. Christ is “the life” because he is the one and only source of everlasting life for fallen human beings. www.professorandfriends.com |
Love God, Love People, Love Others Week 7
Today some people say Jesus said that I am a way, a truth, and a life. Simply meaning there are a number of ways to get to Heaven and Jesus isn’t the only one! Well, what Jesus really said was I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Meaning that Jesus is the way! Period! All because there can only be one truth, that is that Jesus is the only way to get to the Father , through Jesus! So, we could say that this is only a partial truth the way the world says, but they don’t look at Jesus as the only way to God. www.professorandfriends.com |
Jesus Is The Answer Week 6
Today we are looking at That some people say Jesus said that I am a way, a truth, and a life. Simply meaning there are a number of ways to get to Heaven and Jesus isn’t the only one! Well, what Jesus really said was I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Meaning that Jesus is the way! Period! All because there can only be one truth, that is that Jesus is the only way to get to the Father , through Jesus! So, we could say that this is only a partial truth the way the world says, but they don’t look at Jesus as the only way to God. www.professorandfriends.com |

Lost For Eternity Or Eternal Life
0ur bible story today. Many say that Jesus said, “This is your best life now. Live your dreams.” Keep in mind that Jesus never said that, but instead he said, “You can be lost for eternity or have eternal life”! This world always tries to justify themselves by saying that God will allow everyone to go to heaven. This is and has been called the Hollywood way. That all no matter what you do will go to heaven. BUT The reality is that without Jesus you will not make it into heaven. No good looks, or living life clean as possible will get you into heaven. The only way is through Jesus his Son who died for all mankind. The rest of the team will be her to share more you today! I’ll see you next week. www.professorandfriends.com |
We Must Remain With Jesus
The world says that Jesus said, you are the center of your universe. You can make anything happen! But Jesus never said that. Instead, he said it this way! He’s the vine and we are the branches. We abide in him and he is us. So, we must remain with Jesus! This is the only way for us to be able to be all we can be for Jesus. But we must be connected into Jesus always! Apart from him we are nothing but a person of a sinful nature headed to destruction without Jesus! www.professorandfriends.com |
Deny Self Follow Jesus
The world says to Do what makes you happy! But Jesus never said that, instead he said. Whoever wants to be my disciple, must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. So, today we are going to look at this and what it really means for us. There are two different paths to take. One leads to destruction while the other leads to heaven with Jesus and eternal blessing! I pray that you will choose heaven! Check out our story today! www.professorandfriends.com |
Store Up Tresures In Heaven
This week we are looking at Follow your heart. This is what the world says we are to do. But God’s Word says we are to store up treasures in heaven! So many people are used to building as many things as possible in the life that they can get. Sometimes it seems the more you have, means the better you’ll be in this life. Yet the bible says to put more concern on the eternal things, instead of the earthly things around us. www.professorandfriends.com |

The World says - Be True to Yourself. God says to - Humble Yourselves Before God
Greetings everyone! I’m Zada Saturn Voyager’s Ship Computer. I have been tasked with the mission to introduce our lesson today. Our theme for the series is. “Things Jesus never said in the bible.” There have been many people throughout history that have said things that Jesus never said. The sad part is that most people never look into God’s word to see the truth. They take at face value what other people say as truth. So, today we are going to talk about the saying, be true to yourself. Jesus never said this. Instead, he said that we are to humble ourselves before God. So, stay tuned in as the team will come and share more about what Jesus really said! www.professorandfriends.com |

David's Mighty Men Part 2
This is our last day in the series called HOGS. Heart of God Seekers. Last week we mentioned about David’s mighty men. Today we will continue. I want to take you back to their humble beginnings. Some, if not most, of “The Thirty” joined David when he was fleeing from Saul. The biblical text mentions two or three by name, Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, Amasai and possibly Jediael. States that while David was hiding from Saul “everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt and everyone who was discontented gathered to him.” These were the kind of men who initially filled David’s ranks and many of them certainly would become part of The Thirty. Three men who would die for their king! www.professorandfriends.com |
David's Mighty Men Part 1
David was a great conqueror, but he was not a one-man show. There are several large sections of text in the Bible that name key military figures in David’s army. These men helped him secure his throne. A group called David’s Mighty Men, also known as “The Thirty”. they appear in two sections of scripture, First Chronicles Chapter 11. And Second Samuel chapter twenty-three. The tales of their achievements would make great theatrical movies and make for an engaging study! Check out Part 1 today! www.professorandfriends.com |

David Anointed To Be The
Next King our new bible story today. It’s called, “David Anointed To Be The Next King”. You’ll hear it several times today, that man looks at the outward appearance. But God looks at the heart! It seems that if we lived back in the Bible days, that they had the same issues that we find ourselves in 2024. Many look at the appearance of a person, and judge them by that , while God still looks into the heart of mankind to see who’s worthy, and willing to be used by God! www.professorandfriends.com |
