1. Sabbath breaking, hand healing, legalism, and the Beatitudes.
  2. A paralytic is lowered through a roof, sins are absolved, an unlikely person is called to follow Jesus and Jesus gets in trouble for partying with sinners.
  3. Leprosy, demons, sinful fishermen and a mother-in-law. All that in more in this episode.
  4. Temptation in the wilderness. A riot in His hometown. Silencing a demon. Jesus is busy in this episode.
  5. John is preaching in the wilderness and baptizing people in the Jordan River.
  6. Jesus is born, and His birth is proclaimed to shepherds which includes good news for all of us.
  7. Daniel and Erick continue in Luke with the birth of John. Zachariah finally speaks and there is much to discuss in what he says.
  8. Gabriel appears to Mary with the shocking announcement that she is to be the mother of the Son of God. How should we view Mary?
  9. Daniel and Erick begin the Gospel of Luke in this episode. After some introduction, they discuss the promise of the birth of John the baptizer.
  10. How can we know the mysterious workings of God? We look to Jesus: Jesus does His job of Jesus-ing only the way He can Jesus. Jesus never did His Messiah work the way that people thought that He should, and nothing has changed. We are blessed that He is not a God created of our own image and imagination. All of this is revealed to us through the God’s word alone, and in that word we have comfort of what Christ has done for us.
  11. Daniel and Erick wrap up Paul’s letter to the Philippians. He can “do all things through Christ”, what does that statement mean for him and us?
  12. Craig and Troy wrestle with the same issue Paul is wrestling through: Wanting our friends and family to be saved and knowing that salvation must come through Christ. As the Prodigal Son believed in his father’s goodness and returned, so too will God restore and graft in all who believe—both Jew and Gentile alike—in His Son Jesus Christ.
