Women are never listed in the Bible's genealogies and yet, here in Matthew chapter 1, Matthew lists 5 different women who are in the blood line of Jesus. What's that about? And what is Matthew saying of them, and of himself as well?  You won't want to miss this final episode in the interim season 2 of the Bobs Your Uncle podcast.

The Bobs Your Uncle podcast doesn't usually delve into a maths lesson, but Matthew's genealogy calls us to ponder the 14 generations in each of 3 segments of Jewish history.  What's the deal with Abraham to David; David to the deportation (Exile) from Judah to Babylon; then the 3rd era from 586 BCE to the time of the Messiah?  We unpack this one. You might want to follow along using the transcript. 

This is the 4th (of 5) podcast in the interim season 2 of the Bobs Your Uncle pod. Enjoy. All focused on the genealogy of Yeshua as reported by Matthew.

In this episode, Bob mentions the big names of course, like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as well as David and Solomon, but also Jotham and Abihud. What's with those guys? How did they get on the list of genealogy at the very start of the Newer Testament? And what does that say to me about my life?

4-minute episodes in Season 2, it's the interim season.

In this episode, we speak about the music itself and its role in the world of Australia. Perhaps you will learn why we sing along, and what music communicates anyway. You’ll meet Rob Smith from Sydney, the lead singer in Beatnix, the tribute band to the Fab Four, the Beatles. And Rob is a keen tennis player and preacher, too. What? How does that all go together?
Also culture and ministers...is that a necessary clash? He works most days at SMBC.

Historical marker of the week includes a king and a queen, both in music.

This is the first of a series on music as we conclude Season 1 with this great series.

We show in less than five minutes what some call a meditation, a thought, a devotional to assist you in thinking along with me about a topic. And in this 5-part interim season 2, we are looking at the first chapter of the Newer Testament in the Bible. That means in less than 25 minutes you will have considered what Matthew, a tax collector, had to say about the characters in the genealogy of Yeshua, the Jew, and why we should consider him as relevant in the 21st century. 
Today's episode is about the upside-down listing of the generations of Abraham or Yeshua!

This is episode 2 of 5.

In this episode, Bob begins to explain the genealogy of Jesus according to Matthew. Why did he start with such a boring list when he could have showcased Jesus with plenty of other great stories. Bob gives three reasons (so far) as to why this might be in his mind. See if you agree. More short devotionals to come in the days and weeks to come.

Ted Lasso and Peter Pan have this notion of 'belief' down pretty well. For Ted it's the Richmond Football Club; for Peter Pan it's about saving Tinkerbell from disappearance. What is faith anyway? And does it matter? Bob takes this one on alone.
