Jesus defeated sin, death, and the devil. That's a line you hear fairly often on this podcast. But what does it actually mean that Jesus defeated the devil?What is the devil? Who is the devil? What should we think of when we talk about the devil?These are the questions we ask Sarah Stenson as we discuss Jesus being tempted by the devil in the wilderness for 40 days. Sarah explains the devil's only tool is doubt. His only tool is unbelief. Unbelief is sin. The consequence of sin is death. But death doesn't have the final word over you. Christ's promise does. HOLY WEEK GUIDE“The cross stands before us, and the empty tomb beyond it. Nothing will ever be the same. The road is narrow now. The hosannas will fade like the last notes of a half-remembered song, and in their place comes a malevolent, oppressive evil. Holy Week is upon us, and there is no turning back.”As we enter into Lent, we know that Holy Week lies on the other side of these 40 days. And though its completion is marked with triumphant joy, there is no “skip to the end” option here. The only way out is through, but it is not even our burden to bear — “We come only to hear, to receive, to be repented.”As you prepare for Holy Week, we invite you to take advantage of our brand new, free Holy Week Planning Guide, courtesy of Pastor Mark Anderson, which includes weekly planning outlines, Bible studies, activities, liturgies, and hymns.

He describes, “It seems to be set up for ‘What I have to do,' for pastors to start giving people examples of Christian living, but Lent is all about what God has done.” The guide offers the following free resources to help pastors preach the Gospel with clarity.Visit: Preparing for Lent with Pastor Mark Anderson - Luther House of Study GOSPEL Luke 4:1-131 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, 2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished. 3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread." 4 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone.' "5 Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And the devil said to him, "To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours." 8 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.' "9 Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,' 11 and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.' " 12 Jesus answered him, "It is said, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' " 13 When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

The Bowel and Bladder issues that Emily Stenson's daughter Charlie was suffering from when she was 2 years old in early 2022 were constantly diagnosed as constipation, until she turned 3 and finally a 5 1/2 inch long Mass on her abdomen that had already spread to her liver was found. Charlie's correct diagnosis was a Stage 4 Mixed Germ Cell Tumor and after some very difficult treatment, she was declared to have No Evidence Of  Disease in January of 2024. Charlie relapsed in August of 2024 but was once again declared to have No Evidence of Disease in December of 2024, and is doing well enough so that she was as able to begin school in early February.

Despite not being a commercial fisherman, Jesus tells Simon Peter to let down his nets despite Simon Peter having fished all night and caught nothing. Sarah Stenson joins the podcast to explain how God's creative power is in full display in this text as well as Simon Peter's responses to Jesus: first, a confession of faith. Second, a plea for Jesus to get away from him. Lastly, Sarah teaches us what it means to truly be a “fisher of men.” CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

From returning to running post pregnancy (x2), to infinite pros and cons lists, yoghurt explosions and orangutan drawings, we get personal with three-time Olympian, Jess Stenson. This episode is part of a mini-series featuring some of our mighty marathon mums. Jess and I chat about the many challenges women runners overcome after having kids, including navigating changes to the body, toddler meltdowns (always timed to perfection when you're trying to leave for training) and a never-ending lack of sleep. We cover her lead up to the Paris Olympics, including some tough moments during the Australian team selection, and how despite all that, she was able to nail 13th place in the Olympic marathon with her family right there alongside her. Jess is one of the most positive people you'll ever meet, and what comes though so strongly is that she runs from the heart. Keep an eye out for her next big race: Tokyo Marathon! Jess Stenson has represented Australia in the marathon at three Olympics, and has won multiple Commonwealth Games medals in the marathon, including gold at Birmingham in 2022. Jess is also a qualified physiotherapist and keynote speaker. -- Jess Stenson's Instagram: @jess_tren Run With It Instagram: @runwithit.pod Elise Beacom's Instagram: @elisebeacom Intro/outro music by Dan Beacom Graphic design by Kate Scheer

After Jesus is baptized and the Holy Spirit drives him out into the wilderness to be tempted for 40 days, Jesus returns to his hometown filled with the power of the Spirit. Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson teach us what it means for Jesus to have the full power of the Spirit before breaking down the Isaiah passage Jesus reads in the synagogue that talks about God anointing his Messiah.The hearers go from praising Jesus' teaching to wanting to kill him after Jesus says, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”Why did they flip so abruptly? As you'll hear, Jesus did not meet their expectations of a Savior. They thought they'd get someone who would lead them to military victory and financial fortune, not one of their classmates they grew up with saying he's God's favorite. But God's Word accomplishes what it says it will accomplish: convicting you in your sin and delivering God's mercy and forgiveness to you. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

We're breaking down Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana in this week's conversation.First, Mary says to Jesus, “They have no wine.” This may seem like a mundane detail of the text, but, as Sarah Stenson teaches us, it reveals Mary's faith in Jesus and prompts us to ask how we can take that same mindset into prayer. Then we discuss the purpose of miracles. If Jesus came to become sin, take our sin away from us, forgive us, and give us new life, why does he do miracles? CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

Mary and Joseph lose Jesus for several days after the Passover festival only to find him in the temple with the rabbis. Sarah Stenson teaches us the incredible confession Mary has when she says to the 12-year old Jesus, ‘Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety.' She was in anguish thinking she had lost the Son of God. It's in this confession we can hear the promise delivered to both Mary and to us: Jesus came to end our anguish with his mercy. ADVENT PLANNING GUIDE Luther House of Study is pleased to announce a brand new Advent Planning Guide!

This week we're discussing Elizabeth, pregnant with John the Baptist, giving her sermon to Mary, pregnant with Jesus, and Mary's Magnificat in response. Sarah Stenson and Lars Olson point out the importance of Elizabeth being filled with the Holy Spirit before delivering her sermon to Mary. As you'll hear, Mary, and you and I today, are blessed because of what God has spoken to us. Then in Mary's Magnificat, Sarah and Lars zero in on Mary saying, “My soul magnifies the Lord.” They teach us that it's the great works of God that are being magnified. He is the one who is delivering his word of mercy. He is the one who is being unfair. He is the one who looks at us with favor. ADVENT PLANNING GUIDE Luther House of Study is pleased to announce a brand new Advent Planning Guide!

In a text about the signs of Christ's return, Sarah Stenson teaches us this week that Christians have always looked for the signs that Jesus is about to return. Even Martin Luther listed the events happening in Germany in a sermon about this text!But amidst the destruction, chaos, and fear listed here, there is an incredible promise. Christians who have received Jesus' word of promise do not have to be afraid: Jesus is coming again, just as he promised he would. All of creation will pass away, but God's word will not. In a direct echo of Genesis 1, God's word existed before creation and it'll exist after creation is destroyed.As you'll hear, Advent isn't a season of waiting. It's a season of delivering an incredible promise. Jesus came and delivered his judgment on us: sinner. But he is merciful and delivered his promise in our sin's place. ADVENT PLANNING GUIDE Luther House of Study is pleased to announce a brand new Advent Planning Guide!

James and John ask Jesus to grant them to sit in his glory at his right and left hands. As you'll hear Sarah Stenson and Dr. Chris Croghan teaches us in this week's episode, they're focused on what they want instead of what God wants. Instead of thy will be done, it's my will be done. Jesus explains that whoever wishes to be first among you must be a slave to all. This Old World is King of the Hill; is this a new instruction? Should you be the biggest slave to get the most power? Jesus is not giving you a prescription of how to live. He's giving you a depiction of what your life will look like when you have faith in him. You will pour your life out for the neighbor. Your identity isn't in what you do, but what promise you've received. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

Like many parents of young children who run around the house wreaking havoc, Montrealers Edith Lemay and Sébastian Pelletier have their hands full. But in their case, what concerns them most is that three of their four children suffer from a genetic condition called retinitis pigmentosa, which is gradually robbing Mia, Colin and Laurent of their eyesight. In their deeply moving new documentary, BLINK, filmmakers Edmund Stenson (“Finding Fukue”) and Daniel Roher (who won the Oscar® for “Navalny”) observe how this diagnosis has created a shockwave through the family, but also led to new adventures and personal growth.   Ed and Daniel join Ken on the pod to talk about how they came to know the Pelletiers and bear witness to the family's yearlong journey around the world. Designed to help the children create strong visual memories that will last a lifetime, the trip is guided by an epic bucket list that also serves to drive the film's narrative. As we witness the family traverse the globe, checking off items on the list, we find ourselves seeing the world through different sets of eyes. Scenes of delight and awe alternate with moments of uncertainty and fear. Ultimately, BLINK is a story of opening up and finding your place, including in your own family.   BLINK is being released by National Geographic Documentary Films in select theaters starting October 4th.   Follow: @daniel_roher on Instagram and @DanielRoher on twitter/X @edmund.stenson on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter/X   Hidden Gems: Edmund: “A Man Vanishes” Daniel: “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Edith Lemay and Sébastien Pelletier first noticed their daughter, Mia, was having vision problems when she was 3 years old. The diagnosis took years to pinpoint but, by the time Mia was 7, they had identified it as retinitis pigmentosa, a rare genetic condition that causes a loss or decline in vision over time. It skipped their second child, Léo, but both their younger sons, Colin and Laurent, received the same diagnosis. The three children will ultimately lose their eyesight entirely. When The school's vision impairment advisor suggested they fill the children's visual memory by looking at pictures in books, Edith thought, ‘I'm not going to show her an elephant in a book; I'm going to take her to see a real elephant…And I'm going to fill her memory with the best, most beautiful images I can.”That's the subject of the beautiful new documentary film BLINK arriving in theaters October 4. As the Canadian-based family began making plans to spend a year traveling around the globe, they canvassed the children's opinions on what they wanted to do – which included swimming with dolphins, horseback riding in Mongolia and watching the sunrise from a mountain -- the bucket list became the family's North Star.As a former resort activity coordinator, Edith Lemay has no shortage of ideas to entertain her little troupe. She is passionate about sunsets and water sports, particularly scuba diving. During the trip, Edith was responsible for the luggage, schooling, meals, and social media. She is rarely seen in photos because she is always behind the camera and will publish a forthcoming book in French about their adventure.Edmund Stenson's work as director, producer and editor spans both documentary and fiction and focuses on social issues, loners and nomads. Before directing BLINK, he was an associate editor on the BAFTA- and Oscar®-winner Navalny, a documentary-thriller about the Russian dissident's poisoning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Directors Daniel Roher and Edmund Stenson's latest film “Blink”, the follow-up to their Academy Award winning feature “Navalny”, follows a family taking their three children on an epic journey to see the beauty of the world before they lose their eyesight to an incurable condition. Edmund joins Tiller to discuss the nuances of capturing cinematic moments with verité (3:30), editing scenes in your mind as you film them (9:00), how to decide what to shoot as a team (13:00), how his editing background helped him communicate his cinematic language (19:00), and crying when he captured the final moment of the film (23:00).  Produced by: Jacob Miller Executive Producer: Tiller Russell Music by: James Carroll, Graham Tracey & Zydepunk Distributed by: Jake Brennan & Brady Sadler, Double Elvis Productions

Q&A on the documentary Blink with co-director Edmund Stenson and subjects Édith Lemay and Sébastien Pelletier. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company. Chronicles a family's global trip before their children lose vision to a rare genetic disorder, capturing their journey to experience the world's beauty while they can still see it, and preparing for an inevitable future.

Directed by Edmund Stenson and Daniel Roher, the new documentary Blink follows Edith and Sebastien Pelletier, parents of four who live (understandably) busy lives. However, their pace comes to a grinding halt when they receive the news that three of their children have been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare and incurable disease that will eventually lead to visual impairment. Knowing that their children will inevitably lose the ability to see the vastness of the world through their own eyes, Edith and Sebastien come up with a plan: taking their entire family on a trip around the world to fill their ‘visual memory'. In this 1on1, we speak to Stenson about the joy of Edith and Sebastien and how this experience has changed them.

When The school's vision impairment advisor suggested they fill the children's visual memory by looking at pictures in books, Edith thought, ‘I'm not going to show her an elephant in a book; I'm going to take her to see a real elephant…And I'm going to fill her memory with the best, most beautiful images I can.”That's the subject of the beautiful new documentary film BLINK arriving in theaters October 4. As the Canadian-based family began making plans to spend a year traveling around the globe, they canvassed the children's opinions on what they wanted to do – which included swimming with dolphins, horseback riding in Mongolia and watching the sunrise from a mountain -- the bucket list became the family's North Star.As a former resort activity coordinator, Edith Lemay has no shortage of ideas to entertain her little troupe. She is passionate about sunsets and water sports, particularly scuba diving. During the trip, Edith was responsible for the luggage, schooling, meals, and social media. She is rarely seen in photos because she is always behind the camera and will publish a forthcoming book in French about their adventure.Edmund Stenson's work as director, producer and editor spans both documentary and fiction and focuses on social issues, loners and nomads. Before directing BLINK, he was an associate editor on the BAFTA- and Oscar®-winner Navalny, a documentary-thriller about the Russian dissident's poisoning. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In this special episode of Film & Whiskey, Bob sits down with Daniel Roher and Edmund Stenson, co-directors of the upcoming 2024 documentary Blink. The film follows a family's global journey as they race against time to experience the world's beauty before three of their four children lose their vision to a rare genetic disorder. The conversation dives deep into the emotional core of the film, its powerful visuals, and the inspiration behind this heartfelt documentary. Afterward, Bob and Brad switch gears and turn their attention to Whiskey Del Bac Sentinel of the Desert, a uniquely crafted rye whiskey that blends bold 95% rye flavors with a soft mesquite finish, embodying the essence of the Sonoran desert. They explore tasting notes, flavor profiles, and what makes this whiskey stand out in the growing American rye scene. Tune in for a heartfelt film discussion and an equally captivating whiskey review! Timestamps: (0:00) – Intro (01:22) – Interview with Daniel Roher & Edmund Stenson (Blink Directors) (14:00) – Whiskey Del Bac Sentinel of the Desert Review This episode of Film & Whiskey takes a powerful turn as Bob sits down with Daniel Roher and Edmund Stenson, the talented directors behind the 2024 documentary Blink, which premiered at the 51st Telluride Film Festival and is slated for release by National Geographic Documentary Films in October. Blink tells the emotional story of the Lemay-Pelletier family, who embark on a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world after learning three of their four children will lose their sight due to a rare genetic condition. Roher and Stenson discuss the challenges and triumphs of capturing such a deeply personal story, highlighting the family's resilience and love in the face of overwhelming adversity. As the interview unfolds, listeners are treated to insights about the filmmaking process, the ethics of documentary storytelling, and how the directors balanced the beauty and heartbreak of the family's journey. The conversation also touches on the directors' previous award-winning work, including Roher's Oscar-winning Navalny. After the emotionally charged film discussion, Bob and Brad shift gears to review Whiskey Del Bac Sentinel of the Desert, a rye whiskey with a distinctive mesquite twist. This whiskey, aged in the hot Arizona desert and finished in mesquite casks, offers bold rye spice balanced by the subtle sweetness of mesquite smoke. Bob and Brad break down the tasting notes, discussing how the whiskey's smoky, earthy flavors mirror the rugged beauty of the Sonoran desert. If you're a fan of heartfelt storytelling and bold whiskey pairings, this episode has something for you.

The disciples report there is someone casting out demons in Jesus' name, and Jesus says whoever is for Him cannot be against him. This spurs our conversation with Sarah Stenson about what it means to be ecumenical: who can Lutherans share the altar and pulpit with? What does it mean to have, “right doctrine?”Sarah explains how right doctrine matters because it reflects Scripture. Right doctrine shows our righteousness is in Christ, not in our self-righteousness or human tradition. We also discuss what it means to be a stumbling block. In this lectionary text, Jesus is being terrifyingly serious: better if you'd be thrown into the sea with a millstone around your neck than to cause someone to stumble. Sarah explains that a stumbling block is something that causes us to sin. The forgiveness of sin, eternal life, salvation itself is at stake! But that's the beauty of this text. When you have Jesus coming out of your mouth, you will be preserved with your faith in Christ. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

Bible Reading: Joshua 1:9; Isaiah 41:10** Editor's note: This story addresses school violence and may not be suitable for some children.Paxton had a sick feeling in his stomach on the bus ride home from school as he thought about the day's events. He couldn't get the shrieking alarm or the wide, frightened eyes of his classmates out of his mind. Even though it had turned out to be a false alarm, Paxton could barely concentrate the rest of the day.That night, he picked at his dinner. Mom took off her gun and badge and sat down at the table to eat with him."Officer Dwiley told me there was a false alarm at the school today," Mom said. "A man walked past the office without signing in. Everyone's on high alert after what happened at the school in Stenson last week. I'm glad they're being extra cautious, but it must have been scary for you. Paxton?" Mom frowned. "Are you feeling okay?"Paxton slowly shook his head. "My stomach and head hurt all the time."Mom reached across the table to squeeze his hand. "A school shooting is a very scary thing, even for adults.""Easy for you to say," Paxton muttered, pulling his hand away. "You carry a gun."Mom sighed. "Carrying a gun doesn't make me less scared. While you were at school today, I was praying for your safety and saying that verse I told you about.""'God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind,'" Paxton recited.Mom smiled. "Fear is a natural response when something horrible like this happens. But we can't let it overwhelm us. We have to choose to trust God to protect us and those we love. And even if something terrible were to happen, Jesus would be there with us. He died and rose again to defeat sin and death so we could live with Him forever. Even though scary things happen in this world, we can have peace knowing He is always with us." Mom squeezed Paxton's hand again. "Will you say that verse at school tomorrow whenever your stomach or head start hurting?""Okay," Paxton said. "I'll try.""Good," said Mom. "And I'd like you to talk to the student counselor too. It's good to have another adult there at school who knows how you're feeling." –Christa HoganHow About You?Do the bad things that happen in this world fill you with fear? You may feel scared when you hear about them in the news or from friends. Maybe you even know someone involved in a scary incident. Whenever you feel afraid, turn to Jesus. He loves you and wants you to feel His peace. Trust Him to be with you when you feel afraid, and talk to an adult about your feelings too.

God tells the disciples to listen to Jesus. Jesus tells them exactly what's going to happen. Yet they don't understand. They argue about which of them is the greatest.Lars Olson and Sarah Stenson explain how Jesus saying, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all,” is not an instructional. If you try to be last, you're still putting yourself first. When you have faith, you'll be a servant of all. You won't be worried about who's first or who gets credit. You can pour yourself out for your neighbor. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class? Luther House of Study is excited to present a comprehensive online confirmation curriculum.

In this episode of the Radically Christian Bible Study Podcast, Wes McAdams and Marcus Stenson tackle the crucial topic of discipleship and how to create a disciple-making church culture. They address common misconceptions about discipleship, explore why many churches struggle to prioritize disciple-making, and discuss how individuals can embrace their role as disciples even in challenging environments. This conversation is particularly valuable for those feeling frustrated with church stagnation or wondering how to move beyond mere church attendance to truly following Jesus.

In this week's lectionary text, Jesus confronts the Jews for their hypocrisy: they believe they're honoring God's law by going above and beyond what it requires with man-made traditions. Sarah Stenson teaches us that this hypocrisy isn't exclusive to the Jews in this story: it's all over Christianity today with the theological fights about music preferences, communion rules, and church membership distinctions. But Jesus points out that sin does not come from outside of us and the dogma we pursue; it comes from within. It's where your heart is. And that's the beautiful thing: God is in control of your heart. We're freed from chasing the right doctrine and can rest knowing the Holy Spirit gives us faith to know God is God and we're not. CONFIRMATION Visit lutherhouseofstudy.org/confirmation to dive into the curriculum and share it with your church or your pastor. GOSPEL Mark 7:1-8,14-15,21-23 1 Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, 2 they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. 3 (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; 4 and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) 5 So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?" 6 He said to them, "Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; 7  in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.' 8 You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition." [9 Then he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition! 10 For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.' 11 But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, 'Whatever support you might have had from me is Coban' (that is, an offering to God) -- 12 then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this."]14 Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile." 16 NOTE: some manuscripts add “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” as verse 16.[17 When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable. 18 He said to them, "Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, 19 since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20 And he said, "It is what comes out of a person that defiles.] 21 For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, 22 adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person."Support the Show.Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

On the heels of eating their fill of loaves and fishes, the crowd tracked Jesus down on the other side of the Sea of Galilee looking for more of their needs to be met. Jesus tells them not to work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life. Sarah Stenson teaches Kiri and Mason why the crowd is confused about what they have to do to receive eternal life when Jesus tells them very clearly that He is the one who gives it freely. Though we often hear, “I am the bread of life,” in church, Sarah explains what Jesus actually meant when He said this and what it means for Christians today. COURSES Do you like what you learn in the conversations on Scripture First?

This week, we're discussing the popular story of the Feeding of the 5,000. Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson teach Kiri and me the details that show what Jesus is doing in this story to produce faith in the people who ate the fish and loaves as well as in those who hear this story today. In this week's conversation, we ask Chris and Sarah:What's the difference between miracles and parables? Do they do different things? Why did Jesus set Philip up by asking, "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?" when he already knew what he was going to do?And why did the 5,000 attempt to take Jesus by force and make him their king? SING TO THE LORD Martin Luther said, "Next to the word of God, the art of music is the greatest treasure in the world."

This week's lectionary text centers on the people in Jesus' hometown saying, “Where did this man get all this? What is this wisdom that has been given to him?...Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary?'...And they took offense at him.”Sarah Stenson explains why these people were astounded at Jesus, and how people are offended by Jesus' message today, too. Many, many people want God to be fair, to operate by the rules. Instead, Jesus delivers mercy and forgiveness. It blows up the law and leaves us scandalized and offended. COURSES Do you like what you learn in the conversations on Scripture First?

Martin Luther said, "Next to the word of God, the art of music is the greatest treasure in the world." To understand the importance of hymnody in the Lutheran church, Lars Olson and Mason Van Essen sit down with Zachary Brockhoff each week to discuss the lectionary's hymns, their meaning and history, and how the music preaches the Gospel.

In this week's lectionary text, we hear two examples of truly desperate people: a leader of the synagogue with a dying daughter and a hemorrhaging woman. They've tried everything under their power. At their wits' end, they reach out to Jesus. Sarah Stenson and Lars Olson teach us that it's not about reaching out to God earlier. It's demonstrating that Jesus will always be your last resort, and He'll never fail you. Like Luther said, “dying and being damned is what makes someone into a theologian.” God is taking away our other avenues so our only hope is in Christ. The crowds laugh at Jesus for suggesting the dead girl is only sleeping. We think of death as the end point. Jesus is here to flip the script on us: death isn't the end, He is! The next thing you'll hear is Jesus saying, “Get up. You're mine. I promised.” COURSESVisit lutherhouseofstudy.org to see their available courses, create an account to track your progress, and dive deeper into your learning.GOSPELMark 5:21-4321 When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea. 22 Then one of the leaders of the synagogue named Jairus came and, when he saw him, fell at his feet 23 and begged him repeatedly, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and live." 24 So he went with him.And a large crowd followed him and pressed in on him. 25 Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years. 26 She had endured much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had; and she was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 for she said, "If I but touch his clothes, I will be made well." 29 Immediately her hemorrhage stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 Immediately aware that power had gone forth from him, Jesus turned about in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?" 31 And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing in on you; how can you say, 'Who touched me?' " 32 He looked all around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."35 While he was still speaking, some people came from the leader's house to say, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher any further?" 36 But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the leader of the synagogue, "Do not fear, only believe." 37 He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. 38 When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 When he had entered, he said to them, "Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping." 40 And they laughed at him. Then he put them all outside, and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha cum," which means, "Little girl, get up!" 42 And immediately the girl got up and began to walk about (she was twelve years of age). At this they were overcome with amazement. 43 He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and told them to give her something to eat.Support the Show.Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate
