The Weekly Podcast

Dive into an enlightening conversation with John Boyle, as he and host Jay Ewing explore the profound themes of light and darkness within the Gospel of John, particularly John 8. They discuss the spiritual reality we face and how Jesus' teachings can guide us back to the light. Join us for insights on living a life aligned with truth and love.

When life doesn't go as planned, when prayers go unanswered, and faith feels uncertain — how do you keep saying yes to Jesus? In this week's episode, Jay and Thomas unpack John 6 and the moment when many of Jesus' followers walked away. Peter's response still resonates today: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of life.” Together they talk about what it means to keep trusting Jesus when things don't make sense, how God's grace draws us to Himself, and why faith often involves risk, surrender, and hope. They also explore the first of Jesus' “I Am” statements — “I am the bread of life” — and what that tells us about who He is and how He satisfies our deepest needs. In This Episode: • Why we keep saying yes to Jesus • How God draws us by grace • When God's “no” becomes an invitation to deeper trust • What it means to feed on the bread of life #calvarybible

In this episode of the Weekly Jay Ewing and Thomas Milburn discuss the transition from the Advent season back to the study of First Corinthians, specifically addressing Paul's exploration of eating meat sacrificed to idols. The conversation highlights how Paul emphasizes decision-making through four key lenses: the impact on the church, on unbelievers, on personal freedom, and ultimately on the glory of God. The speakers also reflect on the temptation faced by the Corinthian church, encouraging listeners to remember the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation for making choices that build up the community of believers. Ultimately, they underscore the importance of staying connected to God and community to avoid the pitfalls of temptation and idolatry, linking personal struggles to a broader understanding of God's presence and grace. 00:00 - Welcome to The Weekly 02:55 - The Calvary Cup 05:26 - 4 Lenses of Paul's Letter to the Romans 10:28 - First Corinthians: The Test of Spiritual Blessing 15:40 - Paul on Praying for a Spiritual Blessing 17:32 - Paul's Old Testament Hermeneutic 21:54 - The Meaning of Jesus' Words 22:14 - The Temptation in Chapter 10 23:25 - Hebrews 4, The Way Out 24:57 - Choosing the Right to Do Things 26:29 - Temptation in the Gospel 28:23 - How to Get Out of Temptations 29:37 - Paul's Letter to the Corinthian Church 31:36 - Conclusion You can find more episodes of The Weekly at calvarybible.com/theweekly.

Note for audio podcast: From 4:20-7:07 Thomas' mic cuts out. We've done our best to allow you to hear what Thomas says through Jay's mic. It's audible but the quality isn't good. Thomas' mic returns at 7:07 and the audio is good from that point on.

Jay and Thomas discusses the significance of the cross as the pivotal point for all of humanity and that opinions about it shape our relationship with God. The cross may seem foolish or moronic to the world, but for believers, it embodies the power of God and the essence of salvation. In 1 Corinthians Paul emphasizes that God deliberately chose what the world deemed weak and foolish to challenge human wisdom and self-reliance, ultimately leading to humility before God. True strength lies in embracing the cross and turning toward God, rather than clinging to personal achievements or societal standings. 00:00 - Welcome 03:43 - Getting In To Fist Corinthians 05:05 - The Cross is the Crossroads of All Humanity 09:44 - Americans Don't Understand The Cross 13:52 - Jesus on the Road to Life 16:27 - Why Does God Use the Cross to Destroy Human Wisdom? 20:35 - What Gets In the Way of the Cross? 23:49 - The Beatitudes of First Corinthians 29:04 - A Vision for the Good Life 29:44 - Conclusion You can find more episodes of The Weekly at calvarybible.com/theweekly.
