In this episode, we look at John 15:9–17 where Jesus says, "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love." Many Christians have taken this to mean that our salvation is earned through obedience to God. How can C. F. W. Walther help us understand these passages using a Law and Gospel distinction?

In this episode, we discuss the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8:26-40. Does the Holy Spirit speak to people directly today like he did to Philip? Why do Lutherans usually insist on thorough instruction before baptizing adult converts?

This week, we look at John 20:19-31 where Thomas says, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” How did God use Thomas's doubt to strengthen the faith of His Church? What does this teach us about the relationship between evidence and faith?

This week, we look at Luke 24:36-49, where Jesus appears to his disciples after his resurrection. How does Jesus respond to his disciples' unbelief, and what are his instructions for them as he prepares for his ascension?

In this episode, we look at the Gospel reading for Easter evening, which is Luke 24:13-35. Why didn't the disciples recognize Jesus as he was talking to them? What does their confession say about the state of their faith? Why is it significant that they only recognized Jesus after he broke bread with them?

In this Good Friday episode, we look at Hebrews 4:14 - 5:10, where we are told, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin." If Jesus couldn't sin, how was he tempted? Did Jesus really experience every temptation that we do?

In this episode, we look at several prophecies from from Zechariah that were fulfilled during Holy Week, including the Old Testament reading for Palm Sunday, Zechariah 9:9-12. How were these prophecies misunderstood in the New testament era, and what can these misunderstandings teach us about our own tendencies when reading Scripture?

In this episode, we look at Mark 10:32-45 where James and John tell Jesus, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." How does Jesus respond when his disciples ask him for glory or positions of power, and what does this reveal about the disciple's misconceptions of Christ's mission?

In this episode, we discuss both John 3:14-21 and Numbers 21:4-9. How does the bronze serpent made by Moses foreshadow Christ? Did Jesus die for the sins of everyone, or only the elect?
