In this episode, we explore the significance of blood covenants in the Old Testament and their fulfillment in Jesus Christ's sacrifice. We look at God's desire for a close relationship with His people, the importance of obedience, and the power of Christ's blood to bring forgiveness and reconciliation. And, finally, we highlight the transformative nature of God's love and the invitation to intimacy with Him.

Many over the past 2000 years have questioned the validity of the Easter story. Could a man really die on a cross and rise again three days later? It doesn't seem plausible. So scholars, historians, and that one friend at work... have done their best to discredit the Bible's account of Easter morning.

On this episode of the Midweek Podcast, we take a hard look at the Gospels to see if there is any credence to resurrection. The answers might surprise you.

Right before the Apostle Paul gave husbands and wives relationship guidelines, he challenged the Christians in Ephesus to outdo one another in submission. But this challenge wasn't just to the Ephesians -- Paul highlighted this concept in letters to multiple churches because the way to win in the Christian life is through submission. As we work to encourage and support one another, each of us are able to reach further than we ever could on our own.

We live in a soundbite world where things are often taken out of context, or worse, twisted into meaning something the original authors never meant. The ramifications for this are often devastating. Unfortunately, many of us are guilty of approaching Scripture the same way, taking verses out of context or twisting them to fit our worldview or bias. While there are certainly those that do this intentionally, many Christians have simply never been taught how to accurately "handle the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15).

In Part 2 of Keeping Scripture in Context, Pastors Ryan and Jared provide an overview of how the Bible is structured and layout a system for studying the Bible that will help you keep Scripture in context--and discover the theological principle for your life today.

OLD TESTAMENT OVERVIEW:

1. Pentateuch / Torah (Gen - Deuteronomy)
2. Historical Books (Joshua - Esther)
3. Psalms
4. Wisdom Books (Job, Proverbs - Song of Songs)
5. Prophets, Major & Minor (Isaiah - Malachi)

NEW TESTAMENT OVERVIEW:

1. Four Gospels (Matthew - John)
2. Book of Acts
3. Paul's Letters (Romans - Philemon)
4. General Letters (Hebrews - Jude)
5. Revelation

INTERPRETATIVE JOURNEY ("Journey Into God's Word" - Duvall & Hays):

1. Grasping the Text in Their Town -- What did the text mean to the Biblical audience?
2. Measure the Width of the River to Cross -- What are the differences between the Biblical audience and us today?
3. Crossing the Principlizing Bridge -- What is the theological principle in this text?
4. Grasping the Text in Our Town -- How should individual Christians today apply the theological principle in their life?

Try it out! Select a passage of Scripture and use the Interpretative Journey to guide your study. Then, send us an email to [email protected] and let us know what you're learning.

Have you ever read a book or passage of Scripture and a particular sentence, verse, or phrase seems to leap off the page? These sentences and verses have the potential to shape the trajectory of our life. This is never more true than when the verse is coming from God's Word, which is "alive and active" (Heb 4:12) and "useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Tim 3:16).

On this episode, Pastors Tim and Ryan share their life verse and the impact it has made on their life. Are you ready to discover your life verse?
