At the center of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, He offers us more than a prayer—He offers a vision for life with God. In this episode, we explore Matthew 6:5–13, where Jesus teaches not just how to pray, but why we pray. From warnings about performance and manipulation to the deeply relational invitation of the Lord's Prayer, this episode helps us rediscover prayer as a way of life in God's kingdom. Together, we'll consider what it means to live in daily dependence on our Father, align our hearts with His will, and trust in His presence and provision. Whether you're new to prayer or seeking to deepen your practice, this conversation is for you.   Links: simplyrevised.org Buy Me a Coffee Facebook Instagram Music By Eric Gwin Appian Media: Sermon on the Mount BibleProject: Sermon on the Mount  BibleProject: Matthew 6:9-13: The Prayer of Jesus

Jesus calls us to a deeper kind of generosity—one that's hidden, humble, and heart-driven. In this episode of the SimplyRevised Podcast, we explore Matthew 6:1–4, where Jesus challenges His followers to give without seeking recognition. Today we contrasts Kingdom giving with public performance, reminding us that true righteousness isn't about being seen—it's about being faithful. We'll explore: • Why Jesus warns against giving “with trumpets” • How generosity reflected covenant faithfulness in Scripture • What it means to give in secret—and be seen by God Join us as we consider three simple ways to cultivate hidden generosity in today's world.

Jesus redefines what it means to live rightly before God—not through rigid rule-keeping, but through a heart transformed by love. Set against the backdrop of the Sermon on the Mount, today we explore how Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets, calling his followers to embody the justice, mercy, and faithfulness God has always desired. From anger to love, from legalism to true covenant loyalty, Jesus invites us to become a new kind of people—formed by the story of Scripture and shaped by His character.

Jesus doesn't begin the Sermon on the Mount with commands—He begins with identity. “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” These aren't tasks to perform, but deep truths to live from. In this episode, we explore three powerful, identity-shaping metaphors Jesus gives His followers: Salt, Light, and a City on a Hill. These aren't random illustrations—they're rooted in the Hebrew Scriptures and steeped in covenant language. Salt reminds us of God's enduring faithfulness. Light reflects our calling to reveal God's presence in a dark world. And a City? It's a picture of a visible, communal people where others encounter the reign of God. Through this lens, we'll see how Jesus redefines what it means to be blessed and challenges us to live lives that are distinct, illuminated, and grounded in the story of God. Whether it's in our neighborhoods, workplaces, or online spaces, Jesus is calling us to be a preserving presence, a revealing light, and a visible people shaped by His Kingdom. Key Themes: Salt as covenant loyalty  Light as God's mission  The Church as a City that reflects God's kingdom Scripture Focus: Matthew 5:13–16 (NIV) "Let your light shine..." not to draw attention to ourselves, but to glorify our Father in heaven.” Episode Links: Buy Me A Coffee simplyrevised.org Contact Us Receive our newsletter Facebook Instagram Music Provided by Eric Gwin Appain Media: Bible Study Without Borders: Sermon on the Mount BibleProject (podcast): Salt of the Land and Light of the World

Explore the gospel, the good news of the kingdom of God. Rooted in the promises of the Hebrew Scriptures, Jesus announces a new kind of kingdom, one that breaks into the world through healing, justice, and restoration. Far from being limited to personal salvation, the gospel includes a radical reordering of values seen in the Beatitudes, where the poor, meek, and persecuted are called blessed.   Episode Links: Buy Me a Coffee SimplyRevised Episode Resource Page Facebook Instagram YouTube Music By Eric Gwin Appian Media: Sermon on the Mount BibleProject: Sermon on the Mount

In this episode of the SimplyRevised Podcast, we begin a new series exploring the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), one of Jesus' most profound and transformative teachings. Before diving into the sermon, we first step back to understand how Matthew structures his Gospel to present Jesus as the fulfillment of Israel's story—the true and faithful Israel and the new Moses. Matthew arranges his Gospel around five major teaching sections, mirroring the five books of Moses. From His baptism to His time in the wilderness, Jesus walks the path of Israel, He remains faithful where Israel failed. When He ascends the mountain to teach, He is not just giving good moral instruction but revealing the way of God's Kingdom. As we embark on this journey through the Sermon on the Mount, we are challenged to consider Jesus' words: “Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7:24). Will we merely listen, or will we follow? Join us as we begin this important study of the Kingdom way.

Today we explore how Jesus is the ultimate revelation of hesed, God's steadfast and loyal love. Building on Exodus 34:6-7 and the parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15, we see that hesed is not just an attribute of God but is fully embodied in Jesus. Through His incarnation, ministry, and ultimate sacrifice on the cross, Jesus demonstrates unwavering, covenantal love—seeking the lost, forgiving the undeserving, and serving even His betrayers. As His followers, we are called to reflect this same hesed in our lives through forgiveness, service, and sacrificial love.

In our last episode of this series, we explored the character of God as revealed in Exodus 34:6-7, where He describes Himself as "compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth." We traced this idea of  lovingkindness, meaning: “loyalty; or faithfulness. God is loyal love. Turning to the New Testament how this same love is revealed in Jesus' teachings. One of the most powerful examples is found in Luke 15:11-32, the parable of the prodigal son.

Episode Description: As we journey through Hebrews 11, we're moving through a lineage of faith stretching from the beginning of the Scriptures. Our first few lessons highlighted the foundation of faith: that it involves a forward-looking trust in God's unseen promises. We started with Abel, whose sacrificial faith still speaks. Then Enoch walked with God, showing that faith is a relationship, not a mere act. Noah then followed, building an ark based on God's warning of things not yet seen, and he showed that faith obeys God's words. Abraham and Sarah taught us about faith, which looks to promises beyond our lifetime and holds onto God's covenant in the face of impossibility. Now, we reach Moses, a towering figure in the Old and New Testaments, known for his faith and for leading an entire nation through a series of miraculous yet trying events. This week's lesson will focus on Hebrews 11:23-29, where the writer of Hebrews highlights key moments from Moses' life. We will explore what it meant for Moses to live out his faith in God's promises and how his choices continue to impact the story of faith today.

Episode Description: What does it mean to have faith? Faith is not merely a mental acknowledgment but a deep-seated confidence and trust in God's promises. This trust propels us forward, guiding our decisions and shaping our lives. We may not feel like "biblical heroes," but our lives as Christians join the Scripture's larger narrative of faith. Everyday faithfulness contributes significantly to God's kingdom and His purposes. Join us in this episode and discover how.

When we read the word apostle in our New Testament, we often think of the 12 apostles commissioned by Jesus, the word's most common use. However, it is not always used in speaking of the 12. Barnabas, for instance, is referred to as an apostle in (Acts 14:4). Music provided by Eric Gwin. Visit ericgwin.com Links: Episode notes Ephesians Series Support SimplyRevised Email Updates

Galatians 1:6-9 Notice the tone of Paul's language. He is disturbed that some in Galatia are deserting the One who called them in the grace of Christ. He uses military language: They are deserting or in the process of turning away from the gospel. Paul is astonished that this departure is happening so quickly after he left.

Last week, we began our series on Galatians by considering some of the background. In this lesson, we will continue looking at the opening of Paul's letter, verses (1-5). The nature of this letter, as well as the trials and conflicts Paul is dealing with, underscores the importance of understanding the context. Reading Galatians and gaining a proper understanding for our lives today requires us to explore the background. This understanding can help and motivate us to dive deeper into our study.     Notes & Resources: https://bit.ly/3WZqDJK SimplyRevised: https://bit.ly/3K8EINi Contact Us: https://bit.ly/3V9yKlD Share & Support: https://bit.ly/48xIvOM

In this series, we are asking: "Why do we do what we do?" Many of us have grown up in the church, and we inherited some traditions and practices from our parents or grandparents, and it is something we have always done. For others, we could be new in our walk with the Lord, or perhaps we have not thought about it much. Are these practices important? What is the significance of the practices we participate in together as a community? Links: notes and downloads series: Life In The Church working together: share & support

This week we consider a woman who had an extensive impact in her community using the smallest of tools. Tools that she had in her hands. As we continue our series, Bearing Witness, let's look at the example of Tabitha in Acts 9. We are considering the lives of several women we read about in the New Testament. In looking at their stories and reading these accounts, I hope we learn from their lives as we discover their significance in the gospel and early church communities. We began our series by noticing Mary Magdalene. Her story is a story of redemption, transformation, and devotion. Last week, we considered Lydia: a businesswoman, a leader, a woman who cultivated a receptive and generous heart. In Tabitha's life, we discover the importance of sewing kindness to those around us.  Be sure to check out the free resources and downloads!
