SHOW NOTES: https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2025/04/bonus-passover-interview-next-year-in.html  Next Year in the White House: Barack Obama's First Presidential Seder, written by Richard Michelson and illustrated by E.B. Lewis, is a nonfiction picture book that gives us the true backstory of how Passover first came to be celebrated in the White House. It's a stunning book; it received starred reviews from Kirkus and Booklist, and was named to the Association of Jewish Libraries' Spring 2025 Holiday Highlights list. Because this is a true story, I was able to interview one of the "characters" -- Eric Lesser, seen in the photo above, walking with President Obama. Lesser worked on the Obama campaign trail in 2008, and later became a White House aide. He's also served as a Massachusetts State Senator. He agreed to answer ten questions about the events covered in Next Year in the White House. Read the interview on The Book of Life blog.

401(a) plans were established with the original tax code in 1954 and have actually been around longer than 401(k) or 403(b) plans.  401(a) plans are generally offered by government agencies, educational institutions and non-profit organizations. Employers can form multiple 401a plans that each have their own distinct eligibility criteria, contribution amounts, and vesting schedules. 401a plans can have mandatory or voluntary contributions. For those plans that require employees to participate, employers must also contribute to the plan for the benefit of the employee. An employer may offer both a 401(a) plan and 403(b) plan which each have separate contribution limits.  Tune into this episode to learn more about 401(a) plans and how they differ from 403(b) and 401(k) plans.Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

Mark Lanier 02/23/2025 Mark takes us on a very different experience in our study of Lessor Known Women in the Bible. Mark asks the question? Who am I ? 1. I help a King Rule Justly 2. I cried out in the streets and raised my voice in the Public Square 3. I was there when God set the heavens into place Wisdom: Wisdom in Hebrew is a feminine word and this realization shaped and framed the balance of the lesson. Lady Wisdom in the bible stands out from all other cultures. The lesson is delivered in three parts 1. The Literary devises of personification 2. Wisdom's role in Creation- Go back before creation 3. Wisdoms Public Call Mark goes through an in depth look at “Women” or it might be said the feminine gender of the Hebrew language in Proverbs chapter 8:3,4,15,22,24,26-33,34-36 + Mark's closing encouragement was to read the book of Proverbs one chapter a day until you have finished the book.

The Surpassing Glory of God's Promises in Christ 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 Our sermon text is from 2 Corinthians 3 verses 7-18. We learned in the beginning of chapter 3 that the apostle Paul was a minister of a New Covenant. That new covenant is received through the Spirit and resulted in life. That is contrasted with the letter of the law, which, as Paul put it, kills. The rest of chapter 3 unpacks the old and new covenants. As I read, listen for the similarities and differences between the two. Reading of 2 Corinthians 3:7-18 Prayer I don't know if you have been following it, but later this week, 7 planets will be visible in the night sky at the same time. That is a rare event. In fact, it's been quite the season of interesting astrological occurrences. Maybe you experienced the partial solar eclipse last year. Or 5 years ago, you saw the great conjunction. That was when Jupiter and Saturn overlapped in the sky. Apparently, that only happens once every 400 years. And coming up in just 3 weeks, there will be a total lunar eclipse. You are probably wondering, how does this relate to 2 Corinthians 3? Well, 2 Corinthians 3 is considered by some to be the most difficult chapter to understand in all of Paul's letters. That's debatable, of course, but it certainly contains some lofty concepts. At this chapter's core is the theological intersection between the Old and New Testaments. That's significant. And obviously important. And that brings us to the moon and sun and planets. You see, the central point is that the glory of the old covenant was a fading reflection of the glory of the new to come. The new covenant has come and it has eclipsed the glory of the old. It's like the way the moon and planets reflect the light of the sun at night. But when the sun rises, its light is so bright that it completely outshines the moon and planets. The old covenant reflected the new before the new came, but the new has come, and the old has now passed away. By the way, this is one of two main passages of Scripture that compare the old covenant with the new. Hebrews chapter 8-10 is the other. We read part of chapter 10 earlier. The difference between Hebrews 8-10 and 2 Corinthians 3 is that Hebrews works through how God accomplished his promises in the new covenant. He's done that through Jesus perfect sacrifice for sin. In 2 Corinthians 3, we learn about the permanent nature of the new covenant and that we receive its benefits through the Spirit. So both teach about the old and new covenant but with different emphases. Earlier this week I spent some time analyzing how 2 Corinthians 3 compares the old and the new. I put a little chart together as I went. You can see that on page 4 of the bulletin. Really, it was for my benefit as I tried to get my mind around the contrast. But I included it in case it may be helpful to you. You can see that Paul's primary purpose here is a comparison of the two. ·       He gives us the nature of the covenants. The old carved on stone and the new written by the Spirit on our hearts. ·       He speaks of the fading glory of the one and the eternal glory of the other. ·       The old primarily focused on Israel, but the new expands that to God's people from all nations. ·       Even more, those who live by the old live with a veil over their hearts. But for those who have been freed by Christ, that veil is lifted and they are being transformed. ·       But the most weighty of all the comparisons is the eternal outcome. Those who put their trust in the old and reject the new are condemned. But those whose hearts have been transformed by the Spirit and who trust in Christ receive righteousness and life through the Spirit. It's really amazing how much is here in just a couple of paragraphs. Alright. We are going to focus in, first, on understanding the comparison, verses 7-11. And then we'll look at implications of that, today, in verses 12-18. You can see a few summary bullets there. Now, you may be wondering, why does it take such work to unlock the differences between the two? That is a great question. I wondered the same. Because it does seem that Paul jumps around and repeats himself. Why didn't he just spell it out in a clear linear way? The answer is, to his readers, he did. Paul spelled it out in a way they would understand. He used a Greco-Roman rhetorical argument called “a fortiori.” Lesser to greater. That will be on the test after the service. Just kidding. I had no idea that such a thing existed before this week. The argument goes that if something lesser is true, how much more sure and true is the thing that is greater. Its purpose is to elevate the greater reality. To do that there's a comparison and an elevation. And another comparison and another elevation. And then a further elaboration on a comparison and a further elevation. We can see that in these verses. One thing that clearly comes out is the amazing, surpassing, never ending glory of the new covenant. Look at verse 10 for example. “For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory.” You see, these verses are not just a technical explanation. Rather, Paul was elevating the hearts of the Corinthians. He wanted them not only to know that the new is greater and eclipses the old, but he wanted their hearts to see and rejoice in what God has done. How he has fulfilled all the promises of the old in the new. Going back to the moon and sun… you know, when it comes to light and energy, there's no comparison. The moon can only reflect the light of the sun. Yes, in the middle of the night, when a full moon is out it really lights up the surroundings. You can even see shadows. You can see where you are going. If you wanted to, you could even turn off your car's headlights. Don't do that, though… but you would be able to see. But where does that light from the moon and planets come from? It comes from the sun. The light of the sun reflects off of them. The old covenant reflected the glory of the new which, in the Old Testament times, had yet to come. But also, let me ask, what is the lunar surface of the old covenant? Meaning what is the light from the new reflecting off of? Well, it reflects off of (1) the moral law, you know, the letters carved on stone – the 10 commandments, and it reflects off of (2) other laws that God gave through Moses like the ceremonial laws including sacrifices… and also (3) festivals and (4) the temple itself. All of it, in different ways, reflected the glory of what was to come in the new covenant. And they all tie together the Old Testament with the New Testament in profound ways. Ways that help us better understand the new. In the past, I've shared a little of my journey to seeing the Bible as one unified book. I remember when I was, I think, 22 years old. I could not wrap my mind around the purpose of God's law nor even the purpose of the Old Testament. It was a burning question in my mind. I couldn't let those questions go. Well, my Bible had cross references in the margins. And so, I set out to read through the New Testament and cross reference every single Old Testament cross reference. I worked on it a little bit every day. It took me about 3-4 months. It blew my mind. By the way, I still have that Bible in my office with a bunch of underlines and notes. Light bulbs kept going off as I saw more and more connections between God promises and laws in the Old and their fulfillment in Christ in the new. Before then, I used to think that the Old Testament had so many strange practices and peculiar events that had no relevance. But then their beauty came alive to me. I realized how in different ways they revealed God in his glory, they revealed his plan for redemption, and they revealed the need for atonement and the Messiah. All of those old covenant things were driving at what was to come. You see, for God's people in the Old Testament, the whole purpose of the different laws and ceremonies was to direct their attention to the promise of what was to come. Let me say something that is really really important. It was never about offering the sacrifices and obeying the law as a means for salvation. Never. Rather it was so that they could trust in God for what he would do. Their salvation was received by faith in Christ who was to come just as ours is received by faith in Christ who has come. This is illustrated for us in what happened at Mount Sinai. These verses in 2 Corinthians 3, refer to Moses veiling his face. You see, when the Israelites were freed from their slavery in Egypt, God brought them across the Red Sea and he brought them to the base of Mount Sinai. And God then called Moses to ascend the mountain to receive the law. And so Moses went. But in the meantime, the people began worshipping a golden calf instead of the one true God. And God's anger burned against the people. But… Moses pleaded with the Lord for mercy. And God relented. Moses was a mediator between God and his people. After that, God commanded Moses to go up the mountain again. Actually, he needed a new copy of the law because he had thrown down the first. But also, this time, God revealed his glory to Moses. Moses was only given a glimpse of God in his glory, but it caused Moses face to shine with the glory of God. When Moses descended, the people were afraid because of the reflected glory. And so Moses would veil his face to protect the people. Look at 2 Corinthians 3 verse 7. It says, “the Israelites could not gaze at Moses' face because of its glory.” Even the reflected glory was unbearable because of their sin. Again, Moses acted as a mediator of God's mercy by veiling his face. We learn a couple things from that. We learn there is glory in the law. As I mentioned last week, God's moral law is good and right and perfect. It reveals God's nature and his goodness. But it is only a reflected glory. We also learn that God's law requires a mediator, just as Moses mediated for the people. So, the law both directs us to God and it directs us to our need for Christ because of our failure to meet its standard. That explains verse 9. Look at it. “For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory.” The law is glorious but without a mediator, it brings condemnation. But the mediator of the new covenant has come. Christ has come. And he's accomplished and has fulfilled all that the law required. We are no longer condemned by the law. Through Jesus' righteousness, we are given life. That phrase in verse 9, “ministry of righteousness” is referring to the righteousness we have in Christ. You see, the sunrise has come. The sun is up. Yes, in the daytime we can faintly see the moon and we can occasionally see a planet. But the moon and plants no longer light anything up. Because the day has come. There's no more need for the reflected glory of the old because of the surpassing and permanent glory of the new covenant. Alright, let's now turn our attention to the implications for us -  verses 12-18. There are two implications - one negative and one positive. The first is when you only see the old and you reject the new. Look at verse 14. Paul, talking about unbelieving Israel, says, “For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts.” Now, I don't think that there are any Jewish people here today who reject Christ. But that is who Paul is speaking about. They read the Old Testament. Some may think that by obeying the laws and celebrating the festivals that they are therefore justified in God's sight. They may even believe in a coming Messiah. But their hearts and minds are hardened and veiled. It would be like believing that the moon is shining with its own source of energy and light. And maybe even believing that sun does not exist. It would be like covering your eyes during the day so that you don't see the sun. Or sleeping when the sun is up and only being awake at night. They do not believe the new. They are trusting in the old for salvation. And because of that unbelief, to use Paul's earlier words, they will receive “the ministry of condemnation.” Let me expand this a little. I think there are some parallels here to the Roman Catholic church. In our church history Sunday school class this morning, we talked a little bit about the counter reformation. That was the church in Rome's response to the Protestant Reformation. And while yes, much of the immorality in the church was addressed, yet, the church doubled-down on many of its beliefs. Now, I know there are some faithful believers in the Catholic church, but over the centuries, the church has added unbiblical layers that veil Christ. Like the veneration of Mary, or like praying to the saints, or believing in an intermediate state to work off your sins, or going to a priest for intercession. Those are all merit-based or works-based righteousness things. They are in essence veiling the glory of God in Christ. It's kind of like a partial solar eclipse. The fulness of the glory of God in Christ cannot be fully seen. And because of it, many in the Catholic church, trust in these things and not the ministry of God in Christ. There are other parallel as well… like any rejection of the new covenant in Christ. That would include the “I'm a good person” theology. The belief that God will evaluate our good works and because of them consider us good in his sight. That is just a version of the old covenant which cannot save. It denies the sin and idolatry of our hearts and rejects the new covenant. Let me ask, how should we respond? How should we, who believe in the new covenant, respond to those groups? Well, we should seek to be ministers of the New Covenant, like Paul. What does that mean? That means praying for the work of the Holy Spirit to remove the veil over their hearts. It means revealing the failure of the old or the law to redeem. It means doing what Paul does here. Showing the glory of God in the ministry of the new covenant! Its exalting the person and work of Christ through his Spirit! It's showing what unveiled worship is as we behold God. Remember, it's not peddling God's Word, but rather it's exalting God for the exceeding glory of the new. Ok, there's another implication here. A positive one. And it relates to my favorite verse in this chapter. Look at verse 18. “And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” I love that verse. Paul is speaking about those transformed by the ministry of the new covenant. Those whose hearts are not hardened nor veiled but who, through Christ, can behold the glory of God without condemnation! Those who have the ministry of his righteousness because our hearts have been transformed by his Spirit. And when we behold the wonder and glory of God in what he has accomplished, he does something in us. Or rather he is doing something in us. He is transforming us. He is conforming us to the image of Christ. More and more we will reflect his glory… in our countenance, in our thoughts, in our words, in our actions – in our hearts. Now, we can certainly inhibit that transformation. Our sin can block the light of the sun. As you know, this last week has been a little cold. But if you were outside during the day when it was sunny, you really got warmed by the sun. Inhibiting that transformation is like blocking the sun in some way. We do that when the comforts of this world become idolatrous. Or when our lust or anger or some other sin goes unchecked and unrepented of. Or when we forget to pray or engage in God's Word. All those things cause us to become cold.  They all inhibit the light of the sun reaching us… by our own doing. They all inhibits the transformation of God within us. But, as verse 18, says, when we behold God with unveiled face. When we come to him laying our sin before him, letting his Word wash over us. When glorying in the ministry of the new covenant becomes our life and righteousness, then God will be transforming us! He'll be transforming us from one degree of glory to another. These verses are not saying that we will become perfectly glorified. That will only happen when we pass from this life to the next. But more and more we will reflect the glory of God in Christ. And we will radiate that glory like the face of Moses. By the way, did you notice that the Lord is equated with the Spirit… multiple times, here. That word Lord, used here, is in reference to Jesus. What Paul is doing here is he is affirming God's oneness in the Trinity. It's not overlapping the roles of the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit applies the work of Christ in us. In fact, multiple times in the New Testament he is called the Spirit of Jesus. Christ works in us through his Spirit, to transform us from one degree of glory to another. It is his work. And that ties back to the new covenant. The ministry of the new covenant is the ministry of the Holy Spirit in us, not the ministry of the law. So, God has fulfilled all the promises of the old in the new. The glory of the old has faded away, and the surpassing glory of the new has come in Christ. The moon has set and the sun has risen. So may we all with unveiled hearts, behold the glory of God through the Spirit of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

2-16-25 Biblical-Literacy Mark taught Lesser-Known Women of the Bible with an emphasis on unnamed but significant women. Anonymity can sometimes speak volumes. Why no name? Various reasons: to prevent embarrassment, the person is unknown or sometimes used as a literary device. Examples of the later could be to 1) elevate a universal significance as with the Shuminite woman, which provided a lesson in hospitality, 2) bring divine action to the foreground or 3) deliver a dose of irony. Today's lesson focused on 3 unnamed women in the Bible: Lot's wife: turned into a pillar of salt. She made a choice that had consequences. Luke 17:32-33 Jephthah's daughter: a rash vow causes his daughter to be a burnt offering. The widow of Nain: Jesus demonstrated compassion for her situation. Points for home: Remember Lot's wife Pursue God Don't be an idiot Never doubt the compassions of God Listen to Mark teach insights into unnamed women in the Bible. Listen to him share the power of faith in the affairs of life. This world is not our home
