Jesus' Outsider

Activists and politicians throw around the term Nazi in interviews, protests, and speeches. They claim that we are moving closer to a Nazi state. There may be some truth to it but not in the sense that they mean it. The real parallels between our current culture and the Nazis are far less economic or political but much more damaging. This is a fight we cannot afford to lose. This loss in Germany made the rest so much easier. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries, Produced By Deep Mystery Studio.

(From The Archives originally broadcast 02-06-2014) Strange fire has been a growing discussion in the last few years. Okay, maybe discussion isn't the right word. Battleground in the church civil war is a more accurate way to put it. What is strange fire and how did it become this rallying cry in a growing doctrinal battle?

After yet another attack and act of evil, the political, media, and activist machines are in full swing. Blame shifting and tribalism are on full display. Christians are falling into the pattern with everyone else. There is a better, more important role for us. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

The final installment of the Fifty Shades of Grey film series has been released. In addition to being pornographic in nature, it's just one part of a much larger sales pitch aimed at making pornography and alternative sexualities culturally acceptable. It's deeper, more common, and more insidious than could ever be imagined. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Are you at the Red Sea? It's a specific trial that we must face from time to time but it may not be what you think. How we arrive at this trial may seem counter to what is popularly taught in much of the church. It is, at its core, one of the most important tests we face in our walk with Christ. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

We say it all the time. Books with this advice sell millions of copies. Speakers and preachers proclaim it all the time. We tell it to our children. The truth is, it might just be the worst advice we can give someone. There is something better. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

We're considered a subculture ministry and part of a much larger network (KMMG) with a large number of ministries. Just what is a subculture? Is this something that needs to be abandon when someone comes to Christ? How do we develop our expectations?These may seem like small things but they go to the heart of church unity and what we expect a Christian to be. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries - Recorded and Produced in The Deep Mystery Studio

We like to believe that we live out lives free of prejudice, especially as Christians. That is part of Kingdom living. After listening to a talk about racism at a Christian Men's gathering, my thoughts ran to all of the mistrust, misunderstandings, and prejudices that trouble the Body of Christ today. It's more than racism and more than you might think. ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries, Produced in The Deep Mystery Studio

Walking in integrity is more difficult now than it has been in our memory. Many of us don't even have a good grasp on what having integrity means. What is it to walk upright before God? What benefit it is to us? ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

The starting of a new year is a good time for reflection and for moving forward. How do we see God using Jesus' Outsider Ministries in the coming year? What is Phase Two and what can it mean for you and your church? ©2018 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

There are few better times than Christmas to reflect upon the faithfulness of God. If our faith is in someone that cannot be trusted, is our faith in vain? How do we know we can trust God? Copyright Mike Kerby and Jesus' Outsider Ministries

From The Archives 12-21-2015: You've already heard about Jesus' humble birth. You've sang the Christmas carols. You know the story. It's time to hear a different message this Christmas beyond Jesus' being the reason for the season. ©2015 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

From the Archives (12/22/2014) We talk about putting the Christ back in Christmas all the time. It's a great soundbite and gets likes on Facebook. Maybe we're going about this wrong. Perhaps we need to think more like Simeon and Anna.

There is a new stigma growing in our culture. In a quest to find reasons for acts of great evil, the perpetrators' lives are examined to find any sign of mental illness. Surely none of us have the capacity for such evil, do we? Can there be any consequences for blaming mental illness for shootings, attacks, and other evil? ©2017 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Can gratitude be transformational? Why not! If we're honest, gratitude is something that isn't as common in the U.S. as it used to be. Thanksgiving has been transformed into Turkey Day and one of the biggest shopping days of the year. What have we really lost? ©2017 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

How is pornography and sexual sin affecting the church? Deep seated sin is always a hinderance. The next generation has grown a new set of values we must face. The upside is that there is a solution if we are willing to face it. - An Out of The Shadows Conference Tie-In. ©2017 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

In the light of this week's shooting at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, TX and other violence and evil in the last few weeks, we cannot ignore the gathering darkness. How can we have any reaction but a cry from a heart wrenched in anguish? ©2017 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

500 years ago Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis on the door of Brandenburg Cathedral. In the years since that momentous day, no one can doubt the impact it has had in the world. Do those thesis have anything to tell us today? ©2017 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

To Resist or Submit? That is the question that has plagued Christians throughout the centuries. In our current political climate, we seem to be divided along political lines as to whether or not we should submit to the current government. Some are even trying to use Scripture to justify their position or even support for the more extreme and violent elements. What is our relationship to the government supposed to be? ©2017 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries

Perfect love casts out fear. If that's the case, is there a place for the Fear of The Lord? Maybe there's fear and then there's fear. ©2017 Mike Kerby & Jesus' Outsider Ministries
