Pharisees and Disciples

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Today we are comparing the Pharisees (along with some Priests and Rich folks) to true Disciples (even an outside looking in Gentile woman). The Gospels, and Jesus Himself, demand that we come face to face with the difference and choose who we want to be. In today's episode we look at several stories I'll note and reference here: Pharisees and Tax Collector - Luke 18:9-14 The Good Samaritan - Luke 10:30-37 The Widow's Mites - Luke 21:1-4 Simon and the Sinful Woman - Luke 7:36-50 Pharisee and the Gentile Woman - Mark 7:1-30

Episode 169 - "The Longest Non-Answer"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Search the Scriptures for Answers We ended last week’s Ask the Geeks episode with a “to be continued,” and this week we pick it right back up with our final two listener questions. We start with a big one … what does Jesus say about divorce and remarriage? Then we consider what it means to “visit orphans and widows” today. They’re heavy issues worthy of serious thought and prayer. We’re grateful for the listener questions and we hope the discussion contributes to your understanding of these topics. The Big Idea: The Bible doesn’t answer every question, but it does hold the answers to life’s mo

S3 E7 - A Dog's Buried Pile of Junk

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail My dog is a little theif - he is constantly stealing our stuff and chewing on it. Most of the time I can fish it away from him, but when he takes it under our bed I just leave it because it's too hard to deal with. Well, I looked under the bed yesterday and, uh, things have piled up. It's so bad. Maybe I shouldn't have let it go so long, and it wouldn't have gotten so bad. Well...the same thing happens when we ignore our anger, it builds up to resentment and becomes a much bigger issue than it ever should have been. We need to do the hard work to deal with our emotions and our

Psalm 77

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This psalm moves from lament to praise. There are no mentions of enemies in Psalm 77 and only a brief mention of troubles in vs. 2. However, his trials must have been intense for they lead him to question if God is who He revealed Himself to be. In vs. 7-9 what has happened to God's lovingkindness, grace, and compassion. These are terms by which God reveals HImself in Exodus 34:6-7. The words of Exodus 34:6-7 are basically repeated in the Psalms in 86:5, 15; 103:8; 145:8. Is God who He said He was?? The exodus is the answer in vs. 11-20. The exodus is proof for all people of all time that God

Pharisees and Jesus

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! Mark's Gospel is powerfully and precisely written. It packs a ton of information into shorter spaces than the other Gospels. (A great Gospel for ADHD sufferers!). Mark also uses the power of COMPARISON to make his points super strong. In Mark 2, he compares the Pharisees with Jesus by showing the questions they asked Him. We will look at those today, as well as the one question Jesus asked them to start chapter 3. It is often said of the church, that there are Pharisees and we are sometimes Legalistic, too Judgmental, or

Episode 168 - "Started Speaking in Tongues"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Search the Scriptures for Answers Is it insincere to pray without action? What’s the key to preaching without notes? And most importantly, is a hot dog a kind of taco? In our first ever “Ask the Geeks” episode, we discuss listener questions. In these episodes we’ll discuss questions about prayer, preaching, divorce, and how we “visit” orphans and widows today. As usual, we kick things off with an icebreaker and then go Finding Jesus in a classic text about Biblical inspiration. If you have a question for a future episode, we’d love to hear it!

MINISTRY, part 3: with Scott Taylor and Ryan Joy

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! If you haven’t checked out the first two segments of my talk with Scott Taylor and Ryan Joy, it would be well worth your while to do so. In this, the final part of our talk, we focus on the help that we try to provide for people who, for whatever reason, seem to be too much trouble. Exactly how much grease do we give the squeaky wheel? Providing service for a needy brother is one thing; but does his burden ever become an unreasonable obligation for me? Ryan preaches for the North church of Christ in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and cohosts the
