If you were to simply inspect what the people in the New Testament believed during Jesus' lifetime, what kind of theology would you find about the future for Israel? Did the religious leaders believe the promises were literal? figurative? forfeited? What did Jesus believe about the nation's future in God's plan?

Jesus speaks more on the issue of money/wealth than any other issue in the Bible. Here, in his iconic Sermon on the Mount, he once again renovates our understanding of how God determines blessed and righteous living versus cursed and sinful living, all in regards to the wealth have and how you see it.

Jesus revealed to us that even when we refrain from doing wrong, that does not mean we are in the right. And now he tells us that even when we do what's right, it does not mean we are doing it rightly. Once again, God's standard of righteousness is higher than man's, as He inspects our hearts, not just our deeds.

Passages: Matthew 6:1-9:15

Beginning with the covenant to Abraham, God proves that He fulfills His promises just the way that He says them. The question is whether or not that promise has been fully fulfilled yet, either for ethnic Israel or instead for the Church.

Passages: Genesis 12:1-28:15

Just as Jesus has recovered the truth behind who is blessed, he moves on to recover the truth behind who is righteous. To no surprise, righteousness is only truly righteous if you are perfect; but it's not the perfection the Jews were thinking.

Passages: Matthew 5:17-48

The Old Testament seems to be about Israel.  The New Testament seems to be about the Church.  Are they same?  Are they different?  What is their involvement with each other?  Which one(s) is God’s covenant people?

These theological questions determine your outlook on what God said in the beginning, what He's doing now in the middle, and how He'll bring things to the prophesied end.

Passages: Revelation 20:1-7

Matthew 5-7 comprise what is arguably Jesus' greatest sermon ever given, encompassing just about every issue of life in some form or fashion. His opening statement, then, comes at no surprise to be both a challenge to our natural instincts of how to approach God, as well as a heralding of gospel faith by trusting only in Christ.

Passages: Matthew 5:1-12

In a season of constant difficulty, we're called to have confidence in the Lord. But how? King David shows us that confidence in the Lord is found when the worshipper seeks out and gazes upon the beauty of the Lord

Passage: Psalm 27:1-5

Isaiah's final chapters explain how God intends to consummate His plan of redemption for mankind by restoring Israel and removing the curse of sin. These are haunting words of warning to God's wayward people, and yet also matchless words of hope for them and (by God's grace) also for the Church today.
