Expedition 44

In Chapter three we look at what Ruth and Boaz did on the threshing floor during the night that the two were together and the implications within the text. Many choose to avoid the obvious sexual overtones throughout the chapter but today we will glean from boldly discussing the ramifications of the Biblical threshing floor and discover the purity within the story in the midst of many sexual metaphors.

This is an in depth Bible study of Ruth Chapter 2. The redeeming part of Ruth is not just the plot but it is the entire story. The beauty of the gospel is not just found in what God did, but why He did it as well: love. We will study the Christ Typology.

This is an in depth Study looking at the life of Ruth and her family setting up the picture of God's Love for Israel and reclaiming those that have gone away from him and are welcomed back. There is a Deuteronomy 32 worldview connection as well as some historical background on the worship of false gods.

This is the first of a series of videos on Ruth and the background to the book. Ruth is an exquisitely wrought jewel of Hebrew narrative art.This story of Ruth is a love story, showing themes of Yahweh's people reclaimed by repentance and faith, in a story of covenant hope to lost peoples and nations by the Redeemer.

In this episode we cover a deeper understanding of the Deuteronomy 32- supernatural worldview (Coined by Dr. Michael Heiser- Naked Bible Podcast) of the Bible and how it fits with your theology for the rest of scripture.

Pastor Steve Cassell joins Doc Ryan to discuss the Words of Job's wife.

Taking a look at the final thoughts and words of Job. Its a call to man up and trust God as the Sovereign relational God of Love. In a heart of servanthood and humility repent and pray.

Doc Ryan of Expedition 44 and Pastor Matt take a deeper look at the monsters of the book of Job.

Doc Ryan and Pastor Matt take a look at the dialogue speeches in the book of job and the characters that give them. Chapters 3- 27 is the dialogue chapter of the book in 29 begins the discourse section of the book so what we have in chapter 28 is basically an interesting hymn.     Theodicy – the vindication of the justice of God in the light of humanity's suffering The conventional answer in ancient Israel was that God rewards virtue and punishes sin (the principle known as "retributive justice")   In the poetic dialogues Job's friends see his suffering and assume he must be guilty, since God is just. Job, knowing he is innocent, concludes that God must be unjust. He retains his piety throughout the story (belying The Challengers suspicion that his righteousness is due to the expectation of reward), but makes clear from his first speech that he agrees with his friends that God should and does reward righteousness.

The traditional response to Job is to view Satan as the same entity as the  cosmic evil force of Satan as characterized in the New Testament.  But when you consider the Hebrew usage of the term it isn't quite as clear. Doc Ryan and Pastor Matt take an in depth look at the character that plays the role of the challenger in the book of job and what other theological considerations you may explore through this study.
