This week we're unpacking the concept of Christocentric theology. Throughout the Matthew Series there were several points where we discussed different aspects so Jesus' teaching or actions an made reference to painting the full picture of who Christ is and how he reflects God the father. 

Also, a few months ago I put out a poll in our Facebook group asking if the BWC knew what it meant to have a Christocentric perspective. Well now that we are wrapping things up, now is the time to unpack what this means why it's so important.

This week we're asking the question What Now? 

We've finished up reading Matthew and now we're doubling back to where a lot of this began by asking questions about Kingdom, academia and how we move forward throughout scripture in light of how Jesus taught.

This week we're wrapping up Matthew 28! We're discussing the Great Commission. Jesus sends out his disciples with a command and while there is cultural context to the command, it's still one that we are called to today!

We're going to discuss the value of relational discipleship and what exactly that looks like and why it's so important and we're going to discuss the concept that we are called to care for all people, not just a select group or nation.

The time has come! This week we are beginning our walk through the final chapter of Matthew by covering the resurrection but this week we're widening our perspective slightly to get a fuller picture. 

The truth is, the 4 gospel accounts highlight various aspects of Jesus' life and ministry, including His passion and resurrection. In order to really process everything that's happening, we're outlining the series of events in timeline form across all 4 gospel accounts with the emphasis being on what specifically Matthew is trying to communicate with his.

As we prepare to discuss the resurrection next week, I wanted to take this week and give you a look at where my heart is at currently. 

This has been a hard week and unfortunately tragedy has hit my family and the reality is it's moments like this where we NEED to be authentic about what we are wrestling with, the thoughts we have and the struggles of life. 

So this is where we are going to camp this week in this bonus episode. I hope you guys find value in this raw episode and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programing next week.

This week we're finishing up Matthew chapter 27. We're covering what happened in the moments after Jesus died and impact it had. We're discussing the beautiful reality of the diverse collection of people who were present at the time of Jesus' crucifixion including the women who were present and ministered to Jesus. 

From there we dig into the burial of Jesus and discuss the historical aspects of how burials were handled at this point in history and the significance of the tomb that was volunteered for Jesus to lay in. 

Finally we're talking about the response of the religious leaders and the clear concern they had about Jesus even after his death when they went to Pilate to get a guard for the tomb.

This week we're continuing our walk through Matthew 27 by discussing the death of Jesus. We're walking through the weight of this moment in history and unpacking the realities of what happened. 

Often times as we contemplate the passion narrative, we read Jesus as the hero and someone or a group as the villain when in fact Jesus is the only one with the authority to lay down and pick up his own. 

Yes, there's more to the story after this point but in order to get there we need to stop here...for now.

This week we are continuing our coverage of Matthew 27 by discussing the crucifixion of Jesus. We're covering the realities of this Roman execution, the importance of the correct perspective when reading Matthew's account and the sitting in the significance of what's happening. 

In this episode we're covering the details we have in Matthew about how Pilate tries to absolve himself of responsibly of what's happening to Jesus and the magnitude of man's response to having been in direct interaction with God. 

We pause in this subject alone because in order to fully appreciate what happens next, we need to understand this moment in history.

This week we're beginning Matthew chapter 27. In this week's episode we're discussing the aftermath of the "trail" of Jesus. We discuss we the realities of what happened with Judas and explain the idiosyncrasies of what this gospel account covers in comparison to other parts of the bible as well as a look into how the language that's used here helps to give a clearer picture of Judas's headspace after Jesus is condemned and "found guilty."

From there we discuss the interact between Jesus and Pilate. We pull in some points from other gospel accounts to paint a full picture of what's happening here and we discuss why it's so incredibly vital to maintain the proper perspective on the people involved. 

The realities is all too often humans fall for the trap of reading themselves into a story as the hero and in the process deeming someone as the villain but in this section of scripture, there is a very clear picture painted that showcases why approaching Jesus's crucifixion in that manner devalues what Jesus actually did. 

Yes, there are people involved that make the wrong decision but the bible speaks directly to this being a matter of Jesus and the carnal desire rather than Jesus against a people group or individual.
