Luke 6:10-23 (Episode 138) Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Jesus gets accused of breaking the Sabbath and uses King David and the healing of a man to turn the tables on the Pharisees. Luke's account of the Beatitudes is a little different than Matthew's, but is the point the same? Is the law above God? Can you use the letter of the law against the spirit of it? Erick and Daniel discuss all of this. Have a listen!

Luke 5:17-39 (Episode 137) Nov 19, 2019

Show notes

A paralytic is lowered through a roof by his friends to get to Jesus. Shocking words are spoken, and those words are then validated. Jesus calls a tax collector to follow Him which results in a large party where Jesus is criticized by the Pharisees for the company He is keeping and partying when He "should" have been fasting. And we hear a strange parable about new wine and old wineskins. Erick and Daniel discuss all of this. Have a listen!
