Gospels are not merely newspaper reports but rather an artful retelling with a theological point. Luke's account has a unique "turn" in the ninth chapter where the story becomes a long last journey to the cross. This podcast will look at three features that give meaning to the "turn."

Mark's Gospel is the oldest, the shortest, and the most intentional, introducing a new genre of literature called a "sandwich" to tell the story of Jesus. By inserting a new story in between one already told, the "sandwich" offers new clarity and application for today.

Throughout the Old Testament, mountains are markers, symbols of Holy Ground and even the home of God. Matthew's Gospel, being written for a Jewish Christian audience, uses the image of mountains the same way. We will look at how the Gospel mirrors all that has gone before, with mountains.

This podcast looks at the life of Pontius Pilate, one of history's most controversial figures for his role in the Crucifixion of Jesus. Specifically, we will answer this question: "How did Jesus' enemies secure an appointment before a Roman governor in order to kill an innocent rabbi from Galilee?" The answer might surprise you.

Luke Chapter 15 is about lost things, a lost sheep and lost coin. This podcast explores ways to be lost.

The Gospel of John is different than the others, and the last chapter is a mystery, with fishing and breakfast along the shore of the lake. This podcast will explore Easter in the fourth Gospel and discover common themes with the other three.

The fourth gospel is the latest, the most different, and frankly cosmic in scope and presentation. What is often overlooked is that John also uses a different Temple festival, Sukkot, to tell the story. 

The Bible calls Luke "The Beloved Physician" and he writes with a physician's eye. We will look for "autographs" from Luke as we study this unique voice int he story of Jesus.

All four gospels have a voice, and Matthew's take is definitely from a Jewish perspective. This podcast will highlight Matthew's priority of connecting the New Testament and the Older Testament before.

In Mark's Gospel, Jesus is the loneliest guy in the world. No one truly understands him, not even his closest disciples. This podcast will look at the "secret" of Jesus' ministry and what it means to the world.
