In Matthew 9, Jesus heals a paralyzed man, claims the authority to forgive sins, calls Matthew the tax collector, and challenges the religious assumptions of the Pharisees and John the Baptist’s disciples. Sam and Will unpack the historical setting behind these stories, why Jesus’ actions were so controversial, and what the images of new cloth and new wineskins reveal about the transforming power of the gospel.

In this episode, Sam and Will explore why Leviticus distinguishes between clean and unclean animals, including rules about mammals, seafood, birds, and carcasses. They explain how Israel’s dietary laws set God’s people apart and taught them to think seriously about holiness and drawing near to God. They also discuss why Christians are no longer required to follow these food restrictions and how Jesus shifts the focus from ritual cleanliness to the condition of the heart. The conversation examines childbirth purification, the cleansing ritual for leprosy, and how its imagery points to Jesus. You’ll also learn how Christians are called to live differently through love, obedience, and the fruit of the Spirit. Consider what habits in your life draw you toward God and what needs to be left behind. Share this episode with someone who wants to understand Leviticus and its meaning for Christians today.

This episode finishes Matthew chapter 7 from the Sermon on the Mount, covering what Jesus really meant by "ask, seek, and knock." Sam and Will explain how the Greek grammar reveals this is a command to persevere in pursuing God, not a promise that God will give you anything you want. They explore how Luke 11:13 shows that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate gift God wants to give you, and how Paul's thorn in the flesh demonstrates God's power working through weakness. The episode also covers the Golden Rule, the narrow gate, how to recognize false prophets by their fruit, and the sobering warning that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" will enter heaven. The key takeaway is that salvation is not about religious performance but about truly knowing Jesus and building your life on Him as your foundation. If you are new to the Bible or exploring Christianity, this episode will help you understand what it means to trust God even when He does not answer prayer the way you expect.

In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through the five offerings in Leviticus chapters 1–6 and explain what each one reveals about how God invites us to worship Him. The Hebrew word for offering, "korban," comes from a root meaning "to draw near," showing that God's heart behind every sacrifice is an invitation to approach Him. The five offerings covered are the burnt offering (total consecration), the grain offering (thanksgiving and tribute), the peace offering (fellowship and communion), the purification offering (cleansing from defilement), and the guilt offering (paying the debt of sin). Each offering finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, connecting Old Testament worship to the Christian life through passages like Romans 12, Ephesians 2, and Hebrews 13. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or revisiting Leviticus for the first time in years, this episode makes the book practical and deeply meaningful for everyday faith. If this helped you see Leviticus in a new light, share it with a friend who's reading through the Bible. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.

In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Matthew chapter 7 and tackle one of the most misquoted verses in the Bible: "Do Not Judge." They explain what Jesus actually meant, why Christians are still called to make wise moral judgments, and how failing to judge evil actually harms innocent people. You'll learn the Greek word "krino," which literally means "to separate," and how that changes everything about how we read this passage. The episode also covers the log and the speck (Matthew 7:3-5), what "pearls before swine" really means, and when wisdom says to hold back rather than share. Whether you're new to faith or rethinking what you've been taught about judgment, this episode will challenge you to examine your own heart first. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.
