"The Lord said to my lord, who said to me . . ."
Bunny trails abound! But Craig and Troy nevertheless manage to land firmly on Christ.
"Seriously . . . HAVE YOU NEVER READ THE SCRIPTURES?"
"Let's trap Jesus with His words!" is never a good plan. Jesus answers their "unaswerable" questions.
Maybe I Should've Dressed For This?
Jesus aims His third parable at the self righteous who think their own clothing is good enough to merit God's kingdom.
"Have you never read the Scriptures?"
Jesus fells the Pharisees with the folly of their fallacies.
Jesus doesn't give a fig for fruitless faith
The curse falls upon those whose faith is Christ-less. Craig and Troy wrestle with the illustration of the fig tree.
Disney Dollars and the Son of David
"Meek and mild" Jesus goes righteous rage on those who would turn a buck on what God would freely give.
The two blind guys who see
Here's the king, but where's his crown? Craig and Troy discuss the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.
Stuck in the middle with you
One at the right hand, and one on the left . . . but Jesus doesn't think that means what they think it means.
Crisco-coated camels and non-existent needles
The problem isn't your stuff, and it isn't your efforts. The problem is YOU. With God, even your salvation is possible, but on your own you're toast.
Is it lawful to create loopholes?
It seems like the Pharisees have marriage issues, but the real issue is the question "why do those who say they love the Law want to create loopholes to get around it?"
You are the One Percenter
God relentlessly pursues those who stray so that He may restore them to where they belong.
The blessed virgin Mary
Mary is blessed, because Mary knows the way God works and because she knows His promises, and she knows that in her womb grows her savior.
Christmas: It's inconceivable!
What is Christmas all about? It's inconceivable, but nevertheless about Christ being conceived. The word of God was promised, and that promise was Jesus.
Bring me a child!
What does it mean to become a child in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Pride and earthly strength compete with Christlike humility.
Demons, death, and taxes
"You have little faith" really just means "You think you have a small Jesus." What Jesus promises He is able to do.
Let's build tents!
It's kind of like Peter's main job at this point is to be an example of what not to do. Praise God that Jesus is and does more than we can imagine. Special guest appearance by Producer Lou.
From rock of church to rock of offense
"Take up your cross and follow me" . . . what does this mean?
It's a rocky road for Peter
The confession of Jesus as the Christ is the firm foundation of the Church. Even as Peter was called blessed in confessing this, so too are we.
The Messiah that's the repetitive and redundant Messiah
In the constant search for new and novel experiences, are we forsaking the simple word of God? Beware of the leaven of novelty.
Here we (still) stand: Reformation part II
Craig and Troy pick up where they left off last week and explore the spiritual meaning of the Reformation
What's the deal with the Reformation?
In honor of the upcoming Reformation Day, Craig and Troy discuss the history, background, and gospel importance of the Lutheran Reformation.
Jesus and the crumb-y dog-woman
Jesus came not only for the sheep, but apparently for the dogs as well. You won't believe what happens when she asks for a favor.
Clean hands but a dirty heart
Tradition in service of the gospel is good. Demanding the gospel serve tradition shows the filth of your heart.
Kerplunk!
Jesus proves His divinity by not only being master over creation, but in being master of life and death. Peter proves both his faith and faithlessness by putting his eyes on Jesus and then immediately taking them back off.
Dinner rolls for all!
One one level, Jesus does an impressive work of feeding 5,000+ with just a few rolls and some fish. But on a deeper level, we see Jesus preparing the eternal feast for you.
