1. Tim taught about the Hebrew behind our English translations of Genesis 2, breaking down the true meanings of “ha adam” (the human” and “ezer kenegdo” (delivering opposite.) He taught about how the entrenchment of patriarchy in culture led to unsuitable and inappropriate translations of these terms and fueled the proliferation of patriarchal ideas about exclusion based on gender in Christian society. In looking at these realities, how are you left feeling? What surfaces for you as you consider the long-standing and far reaching impacts for people of all genders in our society, now and in the past? What thoughts, ideas, and assumptions of your own are challenged, changed, or supported by this information? How does your own gender identity impact your responses to today's teaching & to this quote?2. Tim said the following:“Patriarchy is all over the Bible, but it is not the message of the Bible… and grown-up Christianity involves learning to make that distinction. “Grown up Christianity is shaped by the Bible Jesus read, and knowing it well enough to know that it argues against patriarchy…..“Any hierarchical social system bent on excluding and scapegoating people based on race, ethnicity, nationality, or even religion runs counter to the terms God has set for creation. And grown up Christianity can see this reality and resist it in whatever ways God might be leading them. “Grown-up Christianity knows that the exploitation of the earth for fossil fuels and natural resources all so that we can consume more and more products without limits cannot lead to shalom and flourishing…“Grown-up Christianity has been shaped by the Bible Jesus read, and by these creation narratives that can give us a whole new imagination so [that we're] able to see and confess that we need to make changes. We need to find ways to take care of each other - especially those on the margins - to make sure [that] all of God's children get in on the blessings of life and can be full participants in the human vocation.”What do you make of this idea of “grown up Christianity” and the ways Tim has described some its attributes? Where do you feel resistance? What feels intuitively “right” to you? If you were to describe “grown up Christianity,” how would you characterize it? What might you add, modify, or change?3. No matter where you are in your own life and faith stories, what might it look like for you to become more “grown up” in your Christianity? If you need to spend a little time considering that question in order to come up with some meaningful ideas, please do. What does it mean to lean into grown up Christianity? What's yours to do and challenge in your own personal faith?As part of the closing prayer, Tim said, “we're so dehumanized by many parts of our culture.” With that statement and today's sermon in mind, how do you see your role in moving our larger culture toward more humane and humanizing experiences of life for all, particularly in light of today's sermon?

SPECIAL LESSON In lesson 33 we will turn from our focus on the Torah and the book of Genesis to consider the answer to the question, “Why Do This?”  Why should we study the Bible in this manner?  Why should be put the Bible in its historical context and strive to hear the Bible on its own terms; that is, to hear the Bible as to what it says and what it does not say?    Since I returned from my first study tour to the Middle East in Israel years ago and continuing in my learning since those days, I have found that most lessons I hear from Christians are devoid of the historical context of the Bible.  I have found that most teach with no concept of how important it is to understand the word of God as the “first hearers” did.  A classic example is the picture of Jesus with the sharp two edged sword in Pergamum in Revelation 2.  No one ever has ever taught how the sharp two edged sword and Pergamum are related.  No one ever in teachings I heard makes the connection.  Why?  Since Pergamum was a center of the worship of the emperor of Rome, we learn that Caesar had the right of the sword; in Latin “ius gladii.” This means that he and his designates had the power of life and death; by his word a person could be immediately executed. This is why Jesus was brought before Pilate. In Greek this is called the right of the “rhomphaia” – this is the exact word found in Rev. 2:12!  Bible historians suggest that Jesus who has the sharp two-edged-sword or “rhomphaia” is in direct confrontation with the emperor. It is not Caesar who has the power over life and death, it is not a man who has absolute power over all. It is Jesus. Only Jesus has the power of the sword, the power of the “rhomphaia.” Amazingly, Jesus is writing this to the only city of the seven that is the center of imperial worship of the emperor. If you are an early believer in Pergamum, you get it, loud and clear!! (Note: the sharp two-edged sword Jesus had was not the word of God as in Eph. 6:17. The Greek word used there is “machaira” or a dagger or short sword. That is our sword – God's word.  No way do we get the sword of the King of Kings!) However, there is more. For at least the first 100 years of the “church” the only Bible they had was the Hebrew Scriptures commonly known as the Old Testament. Moreover, a majority of the early church were Messianic Jewish people who knew the Torah, the 1st five books of the Bible, as God's direct instruction (not law) for His chosen people. In the Torah we read … “See now that I, I am He, and there is no god besides Me; it is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand. Indeed, I lift up My hand to heaven, And say, as I live forever, If I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand takes hold on justice, I will render vengeance on My adversaries, And I will repay those who hate Me. I will make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword will devour flesh, With the blood of the slain and the captives, From the long-haired leaders of the enemy.” (Deu 32:39-42) A Messianic Jew in Pergamum would easily associate this verse with Rev. 2:12. Jesus had the sharp two-edged sword. Only He has the power of life and death. That is why murder is forbidden in the Ten Commandments. Thus, Deut. 32:39-42 and Rev. 2:12 proclaim Jesus as God, the God of the Bible, the one true God, God alone. When does Jesus ever say that He is God?? All the time!! But, He does it in the cultural context of the times. The Bible was written to them, those who first hear it, and not to us.  As my first teacher said that we must understand the who and the what and the where of the Bible event to understand the why.  This was Ray Vander Laan and I highly recommend you to connect with his ministry, “That the World May Know,” and to start purchasing his DVD's of Bible lessons in their historical context filmed on site in the Middle East.  Here's a link to his website.  Link - https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/ I urge you to check out his free articles and audio lessons.  Click on LEARN at the homepage of "That the World May Know." In this podcast I brought up a story of a 12 year old boy who asked me if Jesus dwells in us.  Certainly the Spirit dwells in us; that is exactly what the Bible says (1 Cor 3:16 and 1 Cor 6:19).  But in one section of the Bible Jesus teaches us something totally amazing.  Check it out ... "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.  (Joh 14:10-20) In these verses we see that the Father is in Jesus and Jesus is in the Father and we are in Jesus and Jesus is in us and thus the Father is in us since the Father is in Jesus.  On top of that the Holy Spirit will be given to us by the Father and the Holy Spirit will dwell in us as well!!  WOW!! All three in us at the same time.  So who dwells in you?  Just the Spirit?  Just Jesus?  Only the Father?  No.  Who dwells in you? God!  It's bigger than we thought.   So come and join me.  Let us consider the importance of hearing the Bible on its own terms.  Let us consider bringing our brain to the Bible and use our minds and intelligence that God gave us to come to know Him in a deeper and more passionate way so that the fire in us will begin to burn out of control and we will not be able to keep our mouths shut anymore.

Ferret - who is this guy?  What's his background?  Why should I listen to him?  Check his background at this link - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ortnret3oxcicu4/BackgrndTeacher%20mar%2025%202020.pdf?dl=0

Are you ready for the Son of Man's return? In the Bible Jesus tells us He will return.  When He was asked, when will that happen, He clearly stated that no one knows the date and the time of His return, only the father. The pharisees asked when the kingdom of God would come. These verses give Jesus' answer. Travis exegetes what… The post Ready When Christ Returns, Part 1 appeared first on Pillar of Truth Radio.

How does what God does in our individual hearts have to do with the benefit of nations? That's the big question that Pastor Chris Kipp addresses in the message entitled "Christ & The Conscience". Teaching from John 6:41-51, Chris connects Jesus' teaching on how salvation works to the freedom of conscience that undergirds free societies. Chris challenges us to become thoughtful, reasonable and convictional Christians who see how our faith can be benefit, rather than a nemesis, to society.

“I'm a Christian because of the shortest verse in the Bible: Jesus wept.” Something I didn't wake up to until after my stroke is the fact that joy and sadness can co-exist. In fact, they can do it pretty beautifully if we allow them to. My friend Scott knows how to be sad. That may sound like a backhanded compliment, but hear me out. I think learning to fully engage our sorrow is one of the healthiest rhythms we can find, especially as followers of Jesus. He was, after all, called the “man of sorrows, acquainted with grief.” So how do we befriend our sadness in the way of Christ? That's what I'm covering on this week's episode of The GoodHard Story Podcast, with the help of Scott Erickson. An artist, writer, and one of the most intriguing thinkers I've ever known, Scott has found deep camaraderie with Jesus through his sadness. And he's inviting you and me to do the same.

Some Christians believe that seeking and having money will keep you out of the Kingdom of God. They hold this belief, because in the Bible Jesus told a rich, young ruler to sell all he had and give it to poor, and then he could have eternal life. Based on this Bible passage, many have drawn a negative connection between having money and entering the Kingdom of God. So is this true? Well, in today's message, we examine this concept through the Word of God to make a determination.
