Set Apart For Service II, Exodus 37-38 OT S1:E71

The generosity of faithful women and men is highlighted this time. Bronze mirrors used to beautify self were donated to beautify the Tabernacle. Faithful craftsmen were honored for their workmanship. In this episode, all who serve with their talents are celebrated.

Getting What He Deserved, Matthew 27:1-26 NT S1:E39

In the upside-down world of Jesus' final hours, where wrong was right and right was wrong, He got what He deserved. He had taken the sin of humanity upon Himself and was being treated as if all sin was His. It was. He had made it so! Judas and the Jewish people would also get what they deserved. But we, like Barabbas, don't get what we deserve because in Jesus, we are forgiven and receive the reward for His righteousness.

Plenty To Share, Exodus 35-36 OT S1:E70

The work on the Tabernacle began with God reminding His people of the importance of worship and rest. He didn't want them to get so consumed with what they were doing that they missed the blessing of time with Him in worship.  How often do we get so busy we don't take time for God or ourselves? Here we learn the blessings of rest and godly generosity.

Covenant Renewed, Exodus 34 OT S1:E69

Moses cut new tablets and met with the Lord, Who renewed His covenant with His people. Even as the law is given, God's mercy outweighs His wrath. This is good news for all who struggle with self-worth. God loves us despite the things we don't love about ourselves.

Upside Down World, Matthew 26:47-75 NT S1:E38

When Jesus was arrested, He found Himself living in an upside-down world. Right was wrong. Truth was a lie. His best friend thrice betrayed Him. Yet Jesus continued through it all, knowing the worst was yet to come, thinking of you and your salvation every step of the way.

Friend Of God, Exodus 33 OT S1:E68

We learn of the close intimacy Moses had with God. While we pray for blessing and prosperity, it is often the difficulties of life that draw us closer to family, friends and the Lord. In this episode we explore the blessings of these close relationships.

Udder Folly, Exodus 32 OT S1:E67

It's hard to imagine how the Israelites could make a golden calf and worship it while they could see God meeting with Moses up on the mountain. But they did. Aaron, their called worship leader, led this idolatrous worship. In this episode, we learn how the idol worship of Israel grew out of Egyptian religious practice and the depth of God's mercy.

Betrayed By A Friend, Matthew 26:1-46 NT S1:E37

In the opening salvo of events of Jesus' final days on earth, He is annointed by a sinful woman, betrayed by one of His closest friends, and ends up in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this episode, we consider the weight Jesus carried, why Gethsemane was the perfect place for Jesus' agonizing prayer and who it was that actually betrays Jesus.

Oholiab And Bezalel, Who? Exodus 30-31 OT S1:E66

Why does the world so celebrate celebrity and entertainers that they get special awards just for existing? In today's podcast, we are celebrating every woman and every man who's work is essential to society, by giving them an award inspired by two men in today's lesson who built the Tabernacle and all its furnishings.

Set Apart For Service, Exodus 29 OT S1:E65

We will compare the holy calling that Aaron and his sons received as priests to the calling God gives each of us. Some are called today to serve as pastors or priests. All are called in their baptism to a life of service. We will learn how all are affirmed by God's calling.
