Bonus Episode: Reading Difficult Parts of Scripture with Dr. Mark Chavalas Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

How do we resolve texts we can't reconcile to any sort of order or justice? When the bad guys win, and evil violence seems to have the last word? Dr. Mark Chavalas joins us again to discuss some of the more difficult passages in the book of Judges. Our thanks to Dr. Chavalas for joining us on the show again!

The Big Book–Cover to Cover: Judges Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

We've moved through the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy) and into the Historical Books. If you missed our study of Joshua, listen and review Show Notes Here. Today, we're looking at Judges, which has often been referred to as the darkest days in Israel's history. Judges is a tectonic shift in the storyline, as we look at a generation who doesn't know God.

The Big Book–Cover to Cover: Joshua Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

We’ve covered the Pentateuch and if there’s a takeaway I want to make sure you have, it’s that it’s a corpus of literature, not five individual books. So often we think of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy as 5 books – but there’s a continuity that carries through each one: Genesis: The beginning of creation Exodus: Redemption from slavery, consecration for worship Leviticus: Holiness to the Lord Numbers: Understanding the allotments and order God has given for the Levitica

Bonus Episode: Understanding God's Word with Dr. Tom Constable Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

One of my goals for the big book cover to cover study was to emphasize some of the things that maybe are key to a book, but are not necessarily addressed as you've listened to the podcast. Today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Constable here and to answer some of my questions and to talk about the creation of his outlines, which are available to us online for free. You can find links to Dr. Constable's outlines in our Show Notes: https://michaelincontext.com/understanding-gods-word-tom-constable

The Big Book–Cover to Cover: Deuteronomy Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

Moses leads his people as far as he will be allowed to go toward the Promised Land and is buried by God in the book of Deuteronomy. This book is much more than a second-telling of the law. It's a recounting of Israel's history and an underscoring of who God is, and what He's promised. Join us as we look today to the fifth and final chapter of the Pentateuch.

The Big Book–Cover to Cover: Numbers Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

Years ago we visited the church we had attended in college. As the pastor was preparing to teach, he warned he would be reading a lengthy passage of Scripture and encouraged us: "While I have been nervous about this reading, I want you to remember, ...this is a page of the Word of God and it deserves our attention." As we dive in to an overview of the book of Numbers, let's be reminded that this is the Word of God. For Show Notes visit: https://michaelincontext.com/cover-to-cover-numbers/

Bonus Episode: Modern-Day Sabbath with Jody Capehart Sep 26, 2019

Show notes

As we saw last week, Leviticus - though often approached with dread - offered its first recipients a welcome reprieve and freedom. The Law revealed all that was needed to know how to worship a holy God. It’s not just formalism. It’s holiness. Jody Capehart joins us in this episode to help us see how Christ is reflected in the festivals decreed in Leviticus, and invites us to incorporate rest into our upcoming holiday season.

The Big Book–Cover to Cover: Leviticus Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

To the first recipients, Leviticus offered freedom from the burden of the Law through instruction for confession and worship. The Pentateuch––the first five books of the Bible––is a whole in five parts. We might even say it's one book with five chapters, and Leviticus is one of them. Leviticus is a trip-up for a lot of us. It's the shortest "chapter" in the Pentateuch literature, and even still, we sometimes approach it with dread. We tend to look upon the law as overwhelming if we think w

Bonus Episode: A Man of Wisdom with Dr. Ken Boa Sep 19, 2019

Show notes
