Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

Very few people get excited when reading the book of Leviticus, because it’s a long list of laws and rules and consequences. However, what makes God’s Law so unique and distinct from the rest of the ancient world, was the equality that God’s Law demanded of His people. No separate rules for the wealthy and elite. That’s our focus today on Foundations.

If you’ve ever studied different cultures in the ancient world, you learn pretty quickly that when it came to the law, there were different standards and consequences depending on who was being tried. The wealthy, connected and elite often got away with things, or were given lenient sentences when compared to the common fold. In ancient Israel, God’s Law was different, it was a level playing field and social status was irrelevant. In God’s eyes, the Law applies equally to all. That’s the real treasure from Mt Sinai.

On Foundations today we’ll keep looking at the idea that God can forget our sins, even though we know God doesn’t have a bad memory and nothing is impossible for Him.

We love the idea that when God forgives us of our sins that He doesn’t remember them anymore. After all, who wants to be reminded of every terrible thing they’ve ever said, done or thought! But, if God knows everything, how can He forget what we’ve done?

Last time we looked at a peculiar word in the ancient Hebrew text of the Bible, that is actually untranslatable and we’re going to continue the conversation to see if we can discover what it means.

Have you ever read a word in the Bible you didn’t understand and simply skip over it? That’s pretty normal really, but what do you do about a word that’s untranslatable and so is dropped from the Bible altogether? We’re going to look at such a word today on Foundations.

We began a conversation last time regarding human beings being cracked pots, broken because of sin. Fortunately for us, our God specialises in repairing cracked pots and it’s a good thing to remind ourselves that He and He alone deserves the glory for every life He rescues and restores.

Usually referring to someone as a crackpot, means you think they’re crazy, but the Bible talks about human beings as earthen vessels, pots made of clay from God’s hand of creation. Because of sin we’re broken?kind of like cracked pots. That the topic of conversation today on Foundations.

When we read the Bible, it’s easy to become confused about some things that are said, but that doesn’t mean what’s said is wrong. Context and culture are really important. Jesus also said some things that can be confusing and we’re going to continue our previous conversation about that very thing.

When we read through the Gospels, sometimes we can become confused about some of the things Jesus said. Usually, it’s confusion because we’re missing the cultural context. That’s what we’ll take a look at on Foundations.
