Danny and Kurt have decided to change things up a bit and simply read through a book of the Bible. Galatians is such a deep and powerful letter and there is no doubt concerning it's eternal nature and message. Paul will warn all of us about the dangers of tampering with the gospel of Christ and tolerating those who insist on doing it. Galatians 1:6 " I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel."

We received a very important and timely question from one of our listeners. Thank you for sending this question to us. The question is, "If God made each of us and God doesn’t make mistakes, how do you resolve that my family member/child/sibling/cousin was born female but feels more like a male?"

Here in Matthew 24, Jesus will change His tone and His teaching. Now that He has left the temple, His disciples have gathered to Him and have asked three very important questions. "When will these things be? What will be the sign of Your coming? And what will be the sign of the end of the age?"

Jesus is deity! He is the third Person in the triune Godhead, and we should not think of Him as One who came into existence at His birth. John 1:1-3 makes it plain. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."

In this episode, Jesus will finish the pronouncement of His eight woes upon the scribes and the Pharisees. They have played the hypocrite, and it is time for the world to know. The chapter concludes with the lament of Jesus, over the city of Jerusalem.

As we continue to read through Matthew 23, we are listening carefully to Jesus as He pronounces eight woes against the scribes and the Pharisees. They are hypocrites, and on this day the Lord will take off their masks and expose them for who they really are. Let's be sure not to make the same mistakes as they did.

In Romans 6:6, Paul says, "Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin."

There are many places in the New Testament where this idea of the old man and the new man are illustrated. In each of these we see godly instruction given, so that all Christians will know who they ought to be in Christ.

Though the scribes and the Pharisees were publicly revered by the people, they were privately corrupt. As they proved themselves to be masters of appearance before men, they were turning their backs on God and His will for their own lives.
