1. “What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answers that question with a parable. We have our own question: “Who am I in this parable?” But a better question is “Who is Jesus for me in the parable?”
  2. Law and Gospel? Let us grab our whiteboard. This has been a long time coming, anyways. Gillespie and Riley talk about what happens when we fail to distinguish God's word of Law from Gospel. More talk about why grammar matters. Finally, we follow a rabbit trail to it's theological conclusion and explain why we always default to law talk rather than Gospel talk when discussing God's will.
  3. Jesus gives a long list of ethical demands for His disciples that seem contrary to everything that comes naturally.
  4. Worshipping the hidden God is basically a funeral with cake! Gillespie and Riley discuss the distinction between God hidden and revealed, and the consequences for how we read the Bible, preach, teach, and care for each other.
  5. Good guys, bad guys, horses, chariots, and sand on the seashore.
  6. What is a "Parable" and why does Jesus seem to speak in such mysteries? Your hosts Pastor Troy Neujahr and Pastor Craig Donofrio explain this Jesus way of communicating to you and for you.
  7. Alright, it may not change your life, but we had fun doing this one. Troy is glad that he is not like Craig. Craig is glad that he isn't like Troy and the Pharisee is glad that he isn't like the tax collector. Join the boys as they talk about Thanksgiving and Luke 18:9-14.
  8. Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on letting God be God. Gillespie and Riley read and discuss Martin Luther’s treatise on the Bondage of The Will. This episode, why Erasmus, deep down, doesn’t want to let God be God for him. Also, why we let God’s Word stand unless we need it to take a knee.
  9. Sabbath breaking, hand healing, legalism, and the Beatitudes.
  10. C’mon. Free choice? It’s a thought we’ve all had. Gillespie and Riley discuss why free choice is nothing in relation to God and Satan. Why do we insist on participating in our salvation? What’s our end game in arguments for choice? How do we play fast and loose with the Bible to get us there?
