  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:03
  Huddle for May 7, 2025. Your two-minute
• 0:06
  play of the day for applying God's word
• 0:08
  in your life. So, let's huddle up and
• 0:11
  hear today's play from Mark 8, which
• 0:13
  says, "Be careful." Jesus warned them.
• 0:15
  Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees
• 0:18
  and that of Herod. They discussed this
• 0:20
  with one another and said, "It's because
• 0:21
  we have no bread." Jesus and his
• 0:24
  disciples went on to the villages around
• 0:26
  Cesaria Philippi. And on the way he
• 0:28
  asked them, "Who do people say I am?"
• 0:30
  And they replied, "Some say John the
• 0:32
  Baptist and others Elijah and still
• 0:34
  others one of the prophets. But what
• 0:36
  about you?" He asked them, "Who do you
• 0:38
  say I am?" And Peter answered, "You are
• 0:40
  the Messiah." He then began to teach
• 0:42
  them that the Son of Man must suffer
• 0:44
  many things and be rejected by the
• 0:46
  elders, the chief priests, and the
• 0:48
  teachers of the law, that he must be
• 0:50
  killed, and after three days rise again.
• 0:53
  He spoke plainly about this and Peter
• 0:55
  took him aside and began to rebuke him.
• 0:57
  Then he called the crowd to him along
• 0:59
  with his disciples and said, "Whoever
• 1:01
  wants to be my disciple must deny
• 1:03
  themselves and take up their cross and
• 1:05
  follow me. For whoever wants to save
• 1:07
  their life will lose it, but whoever
• 1:09
  loses their life for me and for the
• 1:11
  gospel will save it." You know, when God
• 1:14
  came to earth to live among us, as one
• 1:17
  of us, so that he could offer himself as
• 1:19
  a perfect human sacrifice for the sins
• 1:22
  of humanity, it was not obvious to the
• 1:24
  Jews. And neither did he always try to
• 1:27
  make himself unquestionably clear. Jesus
• 1:30
  fulfilled all of the scripture
• 1:32
  forecasting God's coming to earth as
• 1:34
  savior and lord. Yet the Messiah
• 1:36
  expected was not the Messiah who came
• 1:39
  because the clarity of Jesus in the
• 1:41
  scripture was not obvious. Today they
• 1:43
  the Jews still reject Jesus's Messiah.
• 1:46
  And many Christians reject his work as
• 1:48
  fully accomplished, expecting instead
• 1:50
  for him to return again from heaven to
• 1:53
  live on earth as the Messiah expected by
• 1:55
  the Jews. Jesus's God could have said to
• 1:58
  beware of the teachings of the
• 1:59
  Pharisees, but instead he said to beware
• 2:02
  of the yeast of the Pharisees. This
• 2:04
  terminology created confusion among the
• 2:06
  disciples instead of clarity. The people
• 2:09
  were confused about his role as Messiah,
• 2:11
  being rejected into a crucifixion by the
• 2:14
  religious leaders. Peter seeks to rebuke
• 2:17
  God for his error in understanding the
• 2:19
  scripture when God fully explains from
• 2:21
  the scripture the life of the Messiah.
• 2:23
  Yet God is crystal clear in his
• 2:25
  communication of what he expects of us.
• 2:27
  Jesus calls to disciplehip among his
• 2:30
  people is without fog or confusion. Yet
• 2:33
  we live as though we don't understand
• 2:35
  his words. If we embrace Jesus's God in
• 2:38
  man and understand his fulfillment of
• 2:40
  scripture as Messiah, then we have no
• 2:42
  excuse for ignoring his clear commands
• 2:44
  as that Messiah. Some of the scripture
• 2:47
  remains a mystery to us, like how and
• 2:49
  when Jesus will return and what happens
• 2:52
  to us until then if we sleep or live
• 2:54
  immediately with God in paradise. But
• 2:56
  what is not confusing and what our focus
• 2:58
  and effort should remain upon is the
• 3:00
  command of Jesus to follow him by
• 3:02
  denying ourselves so that we can work
• 3:05
  for him by going to all the world and
• 3:07
  making disciples.
