Feasting on Truth

Mark begins his gospel proclaiming that this is the good news of Jesus Christ. While on the surface it appears to be a quick overview of the beginning of Jesus's ministry, Mark's structure helps us see a pattern of proclaiming a truth then proving it with an example. Here, Mark begins with a creation parallel, an example of what it looks like "to turn to" Jesus, and a profound picture of what Jesus came to do.

The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us.  Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better.

In this first session, Erin Warren introduces the study, explains the Four Simple Questions, and teaches the context of the Gospel of Mark. At first glance, this appears to be a fast-hitting, fly-by account of Jesus's life, but the deliberate order and structure of the book gives deeper meaning and insight into who Jesus is and what He came to do.

The book of Romans is foundational yet deep. It is simple yet complex. It is an incredibly influential book that has been changing lives for centuries.

William Tyndale in his 1534 preface to Romans 

"Forasmuch as this epistle is the principal and most excellent part of the New Testament, and most pure [gospel]. . . and also a light and a way in unto the whole scripture, I think it meet that every Christian man not only know it by rote but also exercise himself therein evermore continually as with the daily bread of the soul. No man verily can read it too oft or study it too well: for the more it is studied the easier it is, the more it is searched the more precious things are found in it, so great treasure of spiritual things lieth hid therein."

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 14. Paul addresses two specific examples of non-essential cultural issues that were creating division in the church. We should not criticize or belittle others who differ in opinions that are not a matter of sin or salvation. We must take care not to be a stumbling block, leading others toward sin.

NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible

"Sometimes writers saved particularly controversial matters for the end of a speech or letter. After tracing theological (chs 1-11) and moral (chs 12-13) ground for unity between Jewish and non-Jewish believers, Paul comes to some practical issues that are apparently causing division between Romans Christians. Three Jewish practices for which non-Jewish Romans especially mocked Jew were circumcision (already addressed in 2:25-29; 4:9-12), food practices and holy days."

Matthew Henry

We usurp the place of God, when we take upon us thus to judge the thoughts and intentions of others, which are out of our view. 

The Bible Project

These practices don't define who's in or out of Jesus' family. And if people differ over these culturally important, but non-essential issues, they need to learn to respect each other's differences.

In this passage, Paul encourages his brothers and sisters to be sanctified and with humility to live in love and service to one another. With God's grace, we can be united (even in our diversity) and live peaceably with all. We all have a role and a part to play in the beautiful, multi-ethnic body of Christ.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 11. God is creating a multi-ethnic family where we are all common in sin and common in salvation. This is a further breakdown of the fact that God requires faith for salvation. That is His grace to us. Being born Jewish or following the law is not what saves you. We cannot choose our own way and then call God unfaithful. He is faithful always, and we need to submit to His ways, through faith in Jesus Christ, and accept the gift of grace He offers.

Everything we have and all that we are is by His grace for His glory.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 10. Paul continues connecting the Old and New Testaments and further explains why being born a Jew isn't enough for salvation. He explains how God is still faithful and has kept His promise. He uses several Old Testament verses to remind us that His Word is near, we must believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord. Instead, Israel has turned away trying to establish their own way.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 9. Paul moves into a new section of the letter, focusing on connecting the Old and New Testaments and showing God is still faithful to fulfill His promises. He uses at least a dozen Old Testament passages to show God's sovereignty over the line of promise as an example. Jesus is the promise, and we are saved only by faith in Him no matter our heritage. The Lord withholds judgement, and He allows those who surrender and those who do not to life longer to accomplish His purpose for the glory of His great name.
