Starting on Palm Sunday, we will be releasing a short podcast every day leading up to Resurrection Sunday. Join us DAILY for eight days as we explore the final days of Jesus' life and how both his suffering and resurrection is good news. 

Paul has argued that circumcision, along with other markers of Jewish identity, are not necessary to signal membership in the Christian community. But if that's the case, why is so much of our Bible full of laws and why did Jesus say he didn't come to abolish any of them if Paul is saying we don't need to follow them? Seth and David attempt to answer why we have so many Old Testament laws and why Paul's answer is the best news we could hope for.

Paul is angry. A group of leaders are both undermining his credibility and teaching that non-Jewish Christians must be circumcised. Seth and David talk about one of the most hotly debated books in the New Testament and why its good news that we are "justified by faith and not works of the law."
