Matthew 8-9

This is the fifth episode of Matthew, and I go over the second sermon of Jesus. This sermon is directed to his disciples and is concerned with the house of Israel. Because of this, the sermon has interesting modern-day demands for the church of disciples to go out while also ensuring they are a worthy house. 

I am going to discuss the 10 miracles of Jesus, highlighting how they connect to the Sermon on the Mount and point toward the next sermon.

Talking about the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus introduces what his purpose and desire is for everyone interested in the fulfillment of Scripture.  Jesus is creative in this sermon, and he forces us to wrestle with our motives.

In this episode, I cover the genealogy, birth, and ministry of Jesus. The first to seek him out were not his own.

This is the first episode covering the Gospel of Matthew. I will discuss all the information needed to understand my perspective on Matthew's story. I am going to work through the Gospel in 12 episodes.

In this final episode on Genesis, I discuss three characters so that I can draw attention to the most important character of the story. The book has been working towards a redemption, and the answer is in the story of Jacob's sons. 

In this episode, I cover the character of Jacob. The main point in his story is the manifestation of good and bad habits and consequences. 

Isaac is the transitional character from Abraham to Jacob. He is significant because little is said about his individual life. His role is important because he receives and hands off the covenant.  

Summarizing the life of Abraham is a difficult task. In this episode, I attempt to give a snapshot of one of Genesis' main characters.

In this episode, I talk about ancient temples and how I think the tower of Babel leads into the narrative of Abraham.
