Chapter for discussion: Matthew 7.
Go to the beach, to the edge of the water, and the waves coming in will pull the sand out from under your bare feet. You will feel yourself sinking down.
Does that feel like life itself? That the foundation is being pulled out from beneath you?
Jesus gives us sure answers for building on a foundation of powerful rock . . . .
The hymn: Amazing Grace 744

Our discussion chapter is Matthew 6.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed with your day, especially considering the times to come?
Have you ever gotten to a day full of anxiety, and it passed without the worst you feared?
Jesus continues his sermon on the mount in Matthew 6. He invites us to look to our Heavenly Father in all our Needs.
The song: Not Even Kings

Discussion on Matthew 5
The Law of God is like a wall of rock and you are up against it. It is absolute, unbudging. Where do you turn when you fail to keep it, when you can't keep it? Do you minimize it? Jesus says that not one iota of the Law shall pass away . . . .
What is the answer to a holy law and your lack of holiness?
The hymn: Holy, Holy, Holy

Jesus faces the temptation of the devil in the desert. He is the new Adam, facing down evil with the word of God, and giving us courage when we are tempted.

This week is the convention of the Indiana District of the Missouri Synod, and by the time this episode drops I will be on my way home from the convention. . . . I wanted to properly do justice to the next chapter of Matthew, so for one more week we are revisiting a chapter of Genesis, the one where Joseph reveals who he is to the brothers who sold him into slavery.
They meant it for evil, but God meant it for good.
Joseph had his whole life to look forward to when he was sold into slavery, yet God used the circumstances of this terrible happening to save many people . . . .
This episode first dropped on August 6, 2021.

With this being the weekend of Trinity Sunday, we revisit a podcast from April 9th 2021.
The gods that humanity comes up with are . . . pathetic. The true God is eternal, infinite, unchangeable, and limitless.
In this episode we discuss Genesis 31. Jacob finally flees from the presence of his father in law Laban. Rachel takes the household gods of Laban, and sits on them . . . . What do we make of this?

The subject of discussion: Matthew 3.
If our sins are washed away in baptism, and Jesus is sinless, why is Jesus baptized? This week we discuss they why of Jesus baptism. What was happening? What does it mean for us . . . .
The hymn this week is: Holy, Holy Holy (an improved version of a previous recording).
A public domain hymn.
