Podcast 332 -- Solid Rock or Shifting Sand? Matthew 7:15-28 51:07

10d ago51:07

51:07

The fellows wrap up their look at the Sermon on the Mount with a discussion of modern false prophets inside and outside the church, the touchy topic of whether non-Christians can be true disciples of Jesus and if the principles outlined in the Sermon can be separated from the foundational directive of "seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteou…

Podcast 331 -- Ready Player One Matthew 7:7-14 56:01

17d ago56:01

56:01

Is the Sermon on the Mount analogous to an MRPG strategy guide? The fellows are mischievous enough to suggest it. If our Christian mission is to work alongside God to establish the Kingdom of God on earth, Jesus give us an awful lot of information as to how to do it, beginning with your character traits (the Beatitudes), your role (to be salt and l…

Podcast 330 -- Wealthy and Worried Matthew 6:19-7:6, 12 1:02:18

24d ago1:02:18

1:02:18

Seek first the Kingdom of God and all we need will be given to us. This is hard to believe. Yet for Christians it stands as a promise from the Son of God himself and therefore demands to be taken seriously. Material wealth won't last. Worry accomplishes nothing. Judgment leads to hypocrisy. These sections of the Sermon on the Mount get to the heart…

Podcast 329 -- It's Awesome To Be Humble Matthew 6:1-18 54:48

1M ago54:48

54:48

Jesus teaches the Christian approach to religious disciplines of charity, prayer and fasting should be practiced with humility. The fellows discuss the definition of true humility, which lies somewhere between boastful arrogance and self-erasure. We talk about the difficulty of avoiding temptation of making gifts or personal service all about onese…

Podcast 328 -- A New Playbook Matthew 5:17-48 58:37

1M ago58:37

58:37

The Sermon on the Mount, as Robert "The Professor" Cocheu notes, sits "at the intersection on faith and real life." We take on one of the chewier sections in an attempt to get to its overall countercultural point -- that in the Kingdom of God, everyone is understood to be made in God's image and no one is expendable. In this framework, does insult …

Podcast 327 -- Out of the Salt Shaker Matthew 5:1-16 51:57

2M ago51:57

51:57

The Sermon on the Mount is at once an inaugural address, a list of promises and expectations, a mission statement, and a vision for a new type of Kingdom. It seems to set impossible expectations, but suggests these expectations can be met through the power of the Holy Spirit and a spirit-driven community. This week, the fellows begin a comprehensiv…

Podcast 326 -- Sandwiched Between Commitments Exodus 20:12, 2 Corinthians 12:14 1:04:50

2M ago1:04:50

1:04:50

The Sandwich Generation describes adults from the ages of 40 to 59 who are caught between supporting minor children and aging parents. We focus on the aging parent caregiving part of this and the stress it can bring to Christian households. How do we honor the commandment to “Honor your father and your mother" (Exodus 20:12) while at the same recog…

Podcast 325 -- What Counts is the New Creation Galatians 6:14-16 49:24

2M ago49:24

49:24

The fellows wrap up their study of Galatians with guest Scotty Swingler, Students Pastor at Sugar Land Baptist Church. We talk about how freedom in Christ opens the door to agape love and fellowship, freedom from the cultural pressure to condemn others and fret about what other think of us. But most of all, we are free to put aside "playing church"…

Podcast 324 -- Restoration > Cancellation Galatians 6:1-10 56:17

2M ago56:17

56:17

Grace. compassion and empathy do not come naturally. Just look at the glee people have toward "cancelling" that latest personality who posts an ill-phrased or politically incorrect remark. Paul writes that restoration of sinners should be a principal aim among Christians, who should be first to understand that restoration with God was the undeserve…

Podcast 323 -- Spiritual Fruit Salad Galatians 5:16-26 1:02:33

2M ago1:02:33

1:02:33

Surrender to the Holy Spirit and fruit of the spirit--love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control--will follow. So it says plainly right here. Yet do we really believe that? Do we always hedge, depending on some aspect of our fallen human nature as a back-up to grace? Is it even possible to totally s…

1
Podcast 322 -- Paul's Cutting Remarks Galatians 5:1-15 56:51

3M ago56:51

56:51

To grasp Paul's message it’s essential to understand what he means by “freedom.” In America, freedom means independence and self-actualization. Therefore we must be on guard of replacing slavery of the Law with slavery of identity, nation, culture, career and, most of all, ego. To Paul and the early Christians, freedom was liberation--not just from…

Podcast 321 -- Who Stole Your Joy? Galatians 4:12-20, Psalm 98:4-9 57:35

3M ago57:35

57:35

We are a people claimed by God as children and heirs. The Psalms exhort us to shout for joy. When C.S. Lewis came to God, he was surprised by joy. Yet it seems, going all the way back to the Galatian church in AD 50, that there have been those determined to make Christian life and worship as doleful and dolorous as possible. What is Christian joy? …

Podcast 320 -- "Why, Then, Was the Law Given?" Galatians 3:15-4:7 1:04:02

3M ago1:04:02

1:04:02

In fulfilling the Law, Paul says Christ freed us to live in faith by the Holy Spirit. So what role does Mosaic Law, from the Ten Commandments on down, have in our Christian lives? We debate one commentator's assertion that, when faced with a moral quandary, "Christians who are seeking God's will do not turn first of all to the Law of Moses for dire…

1
Podcast 319 -- The Limits of the Law Galatians 3:1-14 51:28

4M ago51:28

51:28

Paul chides the Galatians for falling into "Christ-Plus" thinking in terms of salvation. Yet even today, We Christians still fall back on expressing our religion through adherence to arbitrary rules extracted from Old and New Testament writings, regardless of the context. Should Christian women wear trousers or cut their hair short? Does the Bible …

Podcast 318 -- Blow-Up in Antioch Galatians 2:11-21 58:13

4M ago58:13

58:13

Peter visits Antioch and Paul calls him out publicly for eschewing gentile converts and folding to pressure from Judaizers who demand all new believers follow the letter of Mosaic Law. We talk about why Paul was right, but also try to understand what political and religious and cultural forces behind the "circumcision party's" demand for absolute o…

Podcast 317 -- "Sometimes You've Got to Stir Up the Water a Bit" 1:15:12

4M ago1:15:12

1:15:12

The Professor and the Gambler dive into Season Two of The Chosen, the crowd-funded breakout Christian hit. Amid gathering crowds, bickering apostles, Zealot plots, Sanhedrin politics and a wise-cracking Imperial secret agent, Jesus prepares to launch his ministry with a sermon-as-manifesto. We look at the Christian themes that run through the seaso…

Podcast 316 -- The Circumcision Debate Galatians 2:1-10 48:30

5M ago48:30

48:30

That some early Christians insisted that gentile converts submit to the Jewish circumcision rite touched off the early church's first great crisis. Some say Paul just sought to cynically rewrite scripture to dispense with the requirement. We look at the some of Biblical arguments he makes, including his insistence that even in the Old Testament, ri…

Podcast 315 -- Saul's Radical Conversion Galatians 1:11-24 54:09

5M ago54:09

54:09

To this day the story of Saul of Tarsus cannot help but seize the imagination. Saul was the brightest of rising stars among the Jerusalem high priests and pharisees and was being groomed for leadership. He proved he could even do the “dirty work” of investigating, arresting and imprisoning and executing Christians as blasphemers. Yet all the change…

1
Podcast 314 -- Speak Truth Fearlessly Galatians 1:1-10 50:52

5M ago50:52

50:52

Paul gets right to the point: There is one true gospel, he says, and is "astonished" at how quickly the Galatians could be swayed by those who would alter the fundamental message of grace through faith. We often find ourselves scolded by believers and non-believers alike that Christian humility means "go along to get along." Paul's opening in Galat…

Podcast 313 -- A Working Man's Christmas Luke 2:8-19,20 46:36

46:36

In our fourth annual Christmas special, we look at the shepherds -- the working stiffs of the Nativity narrative. Although often relegated the the background, their role is indispensable to the Christmas story. We look at the significance of God's choice of shepherds to be the first recipients of the news of the Messiah's birth and what it can teac…

Podcast 312 -- Advent: What Are We Waiting For? Isaiah 9:2-7 52:14

6M ago52:14

52:14

Advent is supposed to be a time for joyous anticipation of our Savior and King. Yet for most men, it's four weeks of stress and pressure as they try to meet year-end work responsibilities, family demands and church and community needs. Our panelist Mike says it feels like "forcing a size 14 foot into a size 10 shoe." We won't deny frustrations and …

55:20

Walk into a church service and it's guaranteed you will hear the word "faith" within five minutes. Yet, even long-time Christians can find themselves tongue-tied when asked to define or explain it. We attack the question from a variety of perspectives. Can faith be measured? Can one have too little faith? Is faith only truly expressed in action? Ca…

We're back with three hypothetical scenarios that would force committed Christians to consider whether a course of action suits the Lord's way or merely indulges selfish desires. Never afraid to make gray areas even grayer or take scripture out of context, we debate everyday ethical choices when it comes to responding to queries from insurance comp…

for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. - 2 Timothy 1:7 God doesn’t want us to be afraid. But what is a spirit of fear? A spirit of fear is marked by constant, negative reactions to bad things that might happen. It holds us captive and keeps us from moving forward into the will of God. We can’t replace fear with…

We debate whether it's appropriate for Christians to participate in traditional Halloween festivities of dress-up, trick-or-treating, parties and games. Is it a harmless secular holiday, or something darker? The fellows talk about the Halloween memories and family traditions, church programs such as Harvest Festivals and Trunk-or-Treats, and, yes, …

“Jesus rules the world?” a skeptic might ask. “Have you looked out the window lately?” In our final podcast on N.T.

59:23

In order to defeat sin and death, the Messiah had to battle sin and death, a battle played out on the Cross. In Simply Jesus, even N.T. Wright admits that in human terms, this was "the craziest vocation one could imagine." But these were cosmic terms, not mere human. Calling back to last week's podcast, this was the great Battle and this was how th…

Jesus of Nazareth was just one of many personalities in the ancient Middle East who claimed to the prophesized Jewish Messiah.
