Podcast: Matthew 6:5-8

February 10, 2021 ~ wordwithoutwalls ~ Leave a comment

What does Jesus say about prayer in the sermon on the mount? How is the prayer of someone honest about dependence fundamentally different from the prayers of others - especially the prayers of the hypocrites? How is Jesus' instruction on prayer consistent with all He taught? https://wordwithoutwalls.libsyn.com/bible-study-matthew-65-8

Can we take Paul seriously? (Part 2)

February 10, 2021February 10, 2021 ~ wordwithoutwalls ~ Leave a comment

Earlier in the same chapter of Romans as last week’s verse (8:33) Paul says, “What shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (8:31). Just like last week, the big powerful answer is the devil, the world, and our own corrupt human nature not only CAN be against us … Continue reading Can we take Paul seriously? (Part 2)

Can we take Paul seriously? (Part 1)

February 5, 2021 ~ wordwithoutwalls ~ Leave a comment

Paul wrote in Romans 8:33, “Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.”  There is a big, powerful answer to Paul’s question at the beginning of this verse: how about Satan, whose very name means “the accuser”? And if it’s not Satan who is bringing charges of sin and guilt … Continue reading Can we take Paul seriously? (Part 1)

Charity and prayer are the subject of these verses.  Jesus addresses the sinful pride of human nature corrupting these actions.   How does the regenerate soul act differently, doing the right things for the right reasons? https://oembed.libsyn.com/embed?item_id=17833091

What does the word “love” actually mean?  Where do we see corruption with the concept of love in our culture?  In these verses, how is Jesus changing the nature of the way we see things? https://oembed.libsyn.com/embed?item_id=17802767

Jesus is working His way through most of the ten commandments.  In these verses, He addresses swearing and taking an oath.  How is Jesus getting down to the heart of the matter with what God has intended in this area? Also, we encounter the well-known command to turn the other cheek—to continue to love and … Continue reading Podcast: Matthew 5:33-42

What’s Important about Epiphany?

January 28, 2021 ~ wordwithoutwalls ~ Leave a comment

We are in the season of Epiphany, which begins twelve days after Christmas, celebrating the appearance of Jesus to the Gentiles as indicated by the visit of the Wise Men from the East to the holy family in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1-12). The word “epiphany” means, “to appear”. On the first Sunday in Epiphany, we celebrate … Continue reading What’s Important about Epiphany?

Jesus continues to reestablish the law in all its clarity.  In these verses, He addresses sexual immorality.  What is the real problem?  What are places in our lives that are ruling us, and affecting our relationships with God and others?   https://oembed.libsyn.com/embed?item_id=17620235

Podcast: Matthew 5:23-26

In these verses, Jesus guides us to reset our thinking about our relationship with God and others, on the basis of how we see ourselves under the law.  Are we self-righteous, or honest about our condition under the law?     https://oembed.libsyn.com/embed?item_id=17589704

Redemption from the inside out

January 14, 2021 ~ wordwithoutwalls ~ Leave a comment

What does it mean when we are more afraid of what is outside of us than what is inside?  Look at Mark 7. The terrifying catalog of evil that Jesus describes here comes from our own corrupt hearts. The magnitude of God’s love and power to save me is not realized until I see that … Continue reading Redemption from the inside out
