You can’t study history without running into Jesus.

Whether you want Him there or not,
He stands at the center of it all.

Every calendar date.

Every serious conversation about meaning, truth, and hope.

Jesus of Nazareth refuses to be ignored.

In this special episode of Sunday Renewal, guest speaker Hiram Kemp walks us through why Jesus truly lived a life like no other and why understanding His life is not optional if we want to understand our own.

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture points to Him.

And when He finally arrives, He doesn’t just meet expectations.

He exceeds them.

In This Episode:

We explore the unmatched life of Jesus through seven defining realities:

✅ His unique birth: God stepping into human history, fulfilling ancient promises
✅ His perfect obedience: a sinless life lived on our behalf
✅ His unparalleled teaching: authority that reached the heart, not just the mind
✅ His ministry of compassion and power: healing, restoring, and confronting evil
✅ His sacrificial death: the innocent One dying in our place
✅ His triumphant resurrection: victory over death, never to die again
✅ His eternal reign: not someday, but right now

Jesus didn’t just teach truth.
He embodied it.
He didn’t just model obedience.
He accomplished it...for us.

This episode reminds us of something essential: Being amazed by Jesus is not enough.

We are invited to trust Him, submit to Him, and build our lives around Him.

Because the One who lived a life like no other calls us to live a life shaped by His.

What if the real test of your faith isn’t what you gain, but what you’re willing to lose?

We rarely say it out loud.
But we all have something our soul has secretly crowned as essential.

“If I still have this, I’m okay.
But if I lose that, I don’t know who I am.”

Jesus steps into that fragile space and offers something better.
Not just comfort.
Not just strength.
Himself.

In Luke 10:42, Jesus tells Martha:
“Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”

The kitchen was urgent.
The meal was good.
But Mary chose the one thing that lasts.
She chose Jesus as her portion.

And when your portion can’t be taken, your peace can’t be stolen.

In This Episode:

✅ What Jesus means when He says “only one thing is necessary”
✅ How to recognize the subtle ways we let fragile things become foundational
✅ What it means to live from a portion that loss, disappointment, or death can’t reach
✅ How to build a faith that not only dwells in you, but outlives you
✅ What to do when you're already in a season of loss, and Jesus is all you have left

If You're Wondering:

✔️ “How do I actually choose Jesus as my portion?”
✔️ “What do I do if I’ve drifted away from His feet?”
✔️ “What if I’ve never obeyed the gospel at all?”

This episode walks you through both paths—clearly, biblically, and graciously.

Because whether you're returning or coming for the first time,
Jesus is still offering Himself.
And He is still enough.

What if your exhaustion isn’t from doing too much…but from doing too much without listening?

Many of us love Jesus deeply.
We serve faithfully.
We show up consistently.

But somewhere along the way, our devotion turns into frustration, and our service starts sounding like a complaint: “Lord, don’t You care that I’m doing this alone?”

In Luke 10:38–42, Martha is still serving.

Mary is still sitting.

And Jesus is still inviting us to examine what’s happening beneath our busyness.

Martha isn’t rebuked for serving.

She’s corrected for being distracted, anxious, and inwardly resentful.

Because when service replaces listening, even good work becomes heavy.

Jesus says: “You are anxious and troubled about many things, but only one thing is necessary.” — Luke 10:41–42

In This Episode:
✅ Why busyness can quietly shift from devotion to distraction
✅ How serving Jesus without listening to Him leads to resentment and burnout
✅ The subtle danger of asking God to listen to us instead of speaking to us
✅ Why sitting at Jesus’ feet must come before serving with our hands
✅ How to return to the joy of service by restoring the right order
