Podcast: Matthew 9:9-13

April 20, 2021 ~ wordwithoutwalls ~ Leave a comment

What hope was there for a Jewish tax collector; despised by Jews and Romans? What hope is there for medical care when you are waiting in the ER and finally your name is called? What if the question isn't about hope for the unrighteous or sick but for those who insist they need no healing … Continue reading Podcast: Matthew 9:9-13

Still earlier in Romans 8 Paul says, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us …” (8:18).

Can we take Paul seriously? (Part 2)

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)

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

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

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

Jesus starts on a refrain that He continues for the rest of the chapter: “You have heard that it was said to those of old … but I say to you…”.  What is His point with these statements, and how can it transform our thinking, both about ourselves and others?  How can we be ambassadors … Continue reading Podcast: Matthew 5:21-22
