Biblical Breadcrumbs

Three examples await us of people in need of Jesus' help. What will He say? Will He do anything, and if so, what? Join me as we examine these brief stories from Jesus' life!

We reach a plateau here and get to examine where Matthew has led us to. The narrative from chapter 8 culminates here and only keeps growing into something bigger. Join me as we explore the point of Matthew's stories!

Two last stories in Matthew 8; two more points in Matthew's list. Join me as we keep advancing the story of Jesus! And also a tangent on truth vs. accuracy, and hopefully it's logical enough to follow.

Picking up from the last couple stories of healing, Matthew continues in those themes while also adding an interlude. Join me as I consider both of those ideas, what they mean for the narrative, and how they might even apply to us!

A peculiar story here, we have: the faith of a centurion. And no, it's not Cornelius. Join me as I take a look at this example of faith and what it shows us about Jesus!

Yes, yes, it's only four verses. We're setting a new record. But in this episode, we reestablish some context around the first of Jesus' sermons and set the stage for an important next step in Matthew's narrative. Join me as we look through these things and (hopefully) get a grasp on what's behind and what lies ahead.

The end of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus finishes by wrapping up some other related items to the rest of His speech. Join me for a bit of a longer episode as we finally reach the end of His teaching at this moment!

Judge not. Or do we? Does Jesus actually mean what He says in this case? Join me as I contemplate that and the overall structure of this passage, as well.

Continuing with the theme of proper focus, Jesus addresses attitudes toward the things of the world. How much should we care about stuff? Join me as I focus on these ideas (with a couple rants thrown in, too)!

In this episode, we take a look at what Jesus says about fasting and true treasure. And what's this about light and darkness, too? Join me as I explore these questions and more!
