    Andrew, Scott, and Dan dive into the parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7. This timeless teaching of Jesus reminds us that hearing God's Word is not enough - we must put it into practice. The foundation of our lives matters immensely. Are we building on the solid rock of Christ and His teachings, or on the shifting sands of worldly philosophies?

    In this powerful exploration of Jesus' parables, we're reminded of the importance of building our lives on a firm foundation. The parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7:24-27 serves as a profound metaphor for our spiritual lives. Just as a house needs a solid foundation to withstand storms, our faith requires the bedrock of God's Word to endure life's challenges. We're challenged to not only hear Jesus' teachings but to put them into practice - a crucial distinction that separates wisdom from folly. This parable beautifully illustrates how our daily choices and priorities shape the stability of our spiritual lives. Are we building on the shifting sands of worldly philosophies, or are we anchoring ourselves to the unchanging truth of Scripture? As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to examine our own lives and consider how we can strengthen our spiritual foundation through regular Bible reading and active participation in our faith community.

    This Sunday we're kicking off a brand-new summer series called Stories That Shape Us: Unveiling the Heart of God Through Parables. Jesus didn't come handing out abstract theology. He came telling stories that stuck. Stories that spoke to fishermen, farmers, tax collectors, and everyday people like you and me. And those stories still speak. They don't just inform us; they form us. They hold a mirror to our lives and a window into the Kingdom of God. I'll be introducing the summer series with a message that helps us understand why Jesus spoke in parables and how they reach into the deepest parts of our hearts today. We'll see much more than good moral lessons, we'll see Jesus Himself. He's the Sower, the Shepherd, the Samaritan, and the Father running to meet us. These are His stories, but more than that, they are invitations to examine what we're building our lives on, to receive grace, to give forgiveness, to live in light of the Kingdom. This week, we'll also reflect on Jesus' words in Matthew 13, where He reveals that parables both reveal and conceal truth depending on the heart of the listener. It's a powerful reminder that spiritual growth starts not with more information, but with humility and hunger before God. As Jill and I prepare to step away for a few weeks of sabbatical, I'm encouraged knowing that you'll be well-fed with the Word each Sunday. Next week, you'll hear from a man who shaped my walk with Jesus, Pastor Darryl DelHousaye. In the meantime, every three weeks or so, I'll be sharing a few books and podcast recommendations. You can find these in the weekly update or on our website. Let's be a church that leans in to listen well and responds with obedience to the good words of Jesus.

    Parables can be a real pain to the brain, but at the same time, Jesus tackles the issue quickly if you're open to it. Solomon says in Proverbs 15: “…wisdom make knowledge acceptable,” that is, sometimes the way you say something makes all the difference. Jesus sometimes chose parables to tell us things that we need to understand. The context of the parable in Matthew 5:13-16 is the Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes found in the introduction of the sermon are about kingdom thinking, or the Kingdom Ethic. The Kingdom Ethic is what directs our lives as followers of Jesus Christ. This is the: “Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” type of thinking. This first parable following the Beatitudes is about the practice of this Kingdom Ethic. It is about how Kingdom thinking is actually lived out. If I was to summarize the eight Beatitudes for you, it would be this: “I am not a god. I am a sinner. I am here to serve others by pursuing good. I am moved by compassion, committed to do the right thing before God, in peace, and without compromise.” The purpose of the following parable can be summarized with one word: influence! How does one human being influence another? It was John Donne who said, “no man is an island.” We all have an influence on people, but we do it one at a time. Whether we admit it or not, we all have influence on something or someone and it's either for good or for bad. We cannot live out the Kingdom Ethic in a private world. We cannot live our lives in splendid isolation. In this parable, Jesus uses two metaphors to show how we, his followers, leave our “fingerprints” on the world around us. Some Christians think our job is to curse the darkness, but instead, Jesus has called us to light a candle. It's been said that most Christians have been educated beyond their level of obedience. We need to remember James' admonishment to be “doers of the word and not merely hearers” (James 1:19-25).

    In this episode, Tim and Mike continue the conversation about the complexities of biblical interpretation, exploring how various contexts—textual, cultural, and personal—shape our understanding of scripture. What does "biblical" really mean, and why does it matter in today's world? Mike and Tim explore the "world of the text," the cultural and historical contexts "behind the text," and the modern assumptions we bring "in front of the text." With humor, humility, and intellectual depth, they examine how varying social locations, traditions, and cultural frameworks shape our understanding of scripture, and how the Spirit of God works through it all. From discussing the challenges of "cruciformity" to navigating cultural issues like justice, faith, and the role of the church in society, this episode invites listeners to wrestle with the tension between timeless truths and modern interpretations. Drawing on examples like the parable of the prodigal son and the story of Ruth, they highlight the importance of curiosity, critical thinking, and engaging diverse perspectives to faithfully live out the teachings of Jesus.  How do we discern faithful readings of scripture in a world filled with self-defined "biblical" interpretations?

The discussion transitions into a deeper exploration of the parables of Jesus and their purpose according to Christ, as they begin to read and discuss the parable of the Sower. They discuss the dual purpose of parables to reveal truths to those who seek understanding while concealing them from those who are resistant. The discussion delves into the interplay between divine sovereignty and human desire in the process of salvation, emphasizing the importance of seeking God for understanding. They reflect on personal experiences in farming and life, illustrating how God's sovereignty unfolds in their lives, leading to a deeper appreciation of His goodness and faithfulness.
