    I believe that one of the main messages the Messiah communicated was that we do not spend enough time (or energy) thinking spiritually. However, I could not find a podcast or sermon on this topic other than the following...

    Excerpts from an article written by Michael Morrison for Grace Communion International:

    For example, after Jesus miraculously fed thousands of people, he and the disciples got into a boat, and Jesus warned them, "Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod" (Mark 8:14). The disciples concluded that Jesus meant that, since they hadn't brought any bread and would have to buy some on the other shore, they shouldn't buy any bread from a Pharisee or Herodian because something was incorrect about the yeast they used.

    He chided them for not understanding something that they should have been able to understand. They could remember facts (verses 19-20), but they didn't draw right conclusions. Jesus could make bread miraculously. The disciples didn't need to worry about bread or yeast.

    Actually, Mark doesn't inform his readers what Jesus really did mean. He simply ends the story with "Do you still not understand?" (verse 21). Thankfully, Matthew helps us out by telling us what Jesus was talking about. The miracle of the loaves was not just a way to save money—it also had a meaning that the disciples should have understood (Mark 6:52). It was figurative, symbolizing the fact that Jesus is our source of life. His teachings are what we need to live forever. When he warned his disciples about the yeast of the Pharisees, he was talking about their doctrines (Matthew 16:12). The disciples were to live on the teachings of Jesus, not the teachings of the Pharisees.

    We learn a similar lesson in the Gospel of John. Soon after a miracle of physical bread, Jesus proclaimed himself the bread of life (John 6:32-35). He then said that people must eat his flesh and drink his blood if they want to have eternal life (verse 54). This was much too strange for many people. His disciples called it "a hard teaching," and they grumbled about it (verses 60-61). They did not understand it, and many left him (verse 66). But the Twelve remained because Jesus had the teachings of eternal life (verse 68).

    They didn't understand, but that wasn't a reason to leave. They set a good example of faith and patience for us today. The disciples eventually learned what Jesus was talking about. The people who left him, however, remained in ignorance. Although the human desire is to understand everything right away, we need patience when dealing with the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    Now let's look at an incident in the Gospel of Luke. The 12-year-old Jesus was in the temple, amazing everyone with his understanding (Luke 2:47). But his parents were astonished that he had done such a thing. They did not understand (verses 48-50). His mother treasured these things in her heart (verse 51), but she didn't understand her Son until many years later, probably after his resurrection more than 20 years later.

    Early in Jesus' ministry, the disciples were amazed when Jesus calmed a storm, and they asked one another, "What kind of man is this?" (Matthew 8:27). It was a very good question, and Matthew gives us the answer only two verses later: He is the Son of God. A few chapters later, there was another storm at sea, and after Jesus walked on the water and calmed the storm, the disciples correctly concluded, "Truly you are the Son of God" (Matthew 14:24-33). But they still had much to learn (Mark 6:51-52).

    A short while later, Jesus offended the Pharisees by criticizing their obsession with ritual cleanness (Matthew 15:2, 11). When the disciples asked Jesus to explain what he meant, he asked, "Are you still so dull?" (verses 15-16). This doesn't seem like a very nice response, but Jesus said it, and one of the disciples wrote this down because it can help us.

    One of the most dramatic stories of misunderstanding begins with Jesus asking his disciples, "Who do people say I am?" (Mark 8:27). And Peter said, "You are the Christ" (verse 29). Peter understood this much correctly—not because he was extra clever, but because God had revealed it to him. Even so, he understood only part of what he needed to.

    Peter had the right word—Messiah or Christ—but he had a woefully incorrect idea of what a Messiah would do. Peter wanted a conquering hero, but Jesus talked about suffering and death (verse 31). Peter, with zeal greater than wisdom, began to rebuke his own Teacher, as if he could teach the Messiah a thing or two. Jesus rebuked him sharply because he was thinking like a human (verse 33).

    All of us, being human, naturally think the things of humans. And because of that, we do not always understand the things of God.

    I couldn't find a workable no-cost online solution for generating a 360° series of images from the sketches of my cartoon characters, so I purchased a cheap Zuma toy from Paw Patrol to record via my laptop camera that I can use as a template for drawing my own characters at various angles instead.

    I used to own Dragon Naturally Speaking and kept running into problems with the program not keeping up each time I bought a new laptop. So at this point, I'm finding this online resource to be a satisfactory substitute:

    So much useful info here. Found many useful videos and tutorials on this topic.
    I'm going to create an educational website. I checked a review here https://www.webbuildersguide.com/best-website-builder/teachers/ and chose Weebly for this purpose. It is supposed to be easy to use but I want to learn everything I need before I start. So, thanks everyone for the input.
