    Jesus' Vision for Sex and Desire

    Jesus' Vision for Sex and Desire

    Sermon on the Mount E11 – In Matthew 5:27-30, Jesus references the Torah’s command to not commit adultery (Exod. 20:14), going on to say that any man who lusts (or “goes on looking”) at a woman commits adultery with her in his heart. So what is his solution to avoid lust? Cut off a hand and gouge out an eye! Whoa—what is Jesus talking about? In this episode, Jon, Tim, and special guest Lucy Peppiatt discuss the meaning and impact of lust, the Bible’s original ideal for men and women, and Jesus’ countercultural vision for sex and marriage in the Kingdom of the skies.

    Why Do the Beatitudes Matter for the Overworked and Hopeless? – Sermon on the Mount Q+R 1

    Why Do the Beatitudes Matter for the Overworked and Hopeless? – Sermon on the Mount Q+R 1

    Why do we not find the Sermon on the Mount in the gospels of Mark or John? Why is “blessed” not a good translation of the word makarios? And if Jesus says that mourning, powerlessness, and poverty are the key to the good life, should we pursue those things? In this episode, Tim and Jon respond to your questions from the first seven episodes of the Sermon on the Mount series. Thank you to our audience for your incredible questions!

    How Is Anger the Same as Murder?

    How Is Anger the Same as Murder?

    Sermon on the Mount E10 – In Matthew 5:21-48, Jesus reveals the divine wisdom of Israel’s Old Testament laws through six case studies. In the first case study, he expounds on one of the Ten Commandments, “Do not murder” (Exod. 20:13). After acknowledging this command, Jesus takes it further by saying that anyone who is angry with his brother or publicly shames someone is also guilty of murder. What does he mean? In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss Matthew 5:21-32, exploring key concepts—such as murder, contempt, and divine justice—and what they tell us about the value of human beings.

    What Does Jesus Think of Old Testament Laws?

    What Does Jesus Think of Old Testament Laws?

    Sermon on the Mount E9 – What did Jesus mean when he said he came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets? In Jesus’ day, the laws from the Torah were over a thousand years old. And the Jewish people under Roman occupation weren’t able to follow all of the laws perfectly, leading to countless interpretations of how the people could observe the Torah. So what made this rabbi from Nazareth’s approach to the law any different? In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss Matthew 5:17-20, unpacking its historical context, most perplexing phrases, and the greater righteousness that Jesus is introducing to his listeners.

    The Salt of the Land and the Light of the World

    The Salt of the Land and the Light of the World

    Sermon on the Mount E8 – Why does Jesus call his followers salt and light? In the Hebrew Bible, salt is a metaphor for God’s long-lasting covenant with Israel, connected to priestly sacrifices, ritual purity, and social bonds. And the Hebrew word for light, or, shares a wordplay with torah, meaning God’s wise instruction. God’s wisdom given in the Torah is a light for Israel that they are called to share with the nations. In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss the meanings of salt and light, showing how Jesus applies these covenant words to his new community of followers.

    What Does It Mean to Make Peace? (The Beatitudes Pt. 4)

    What Does It Mean to Make Peace? (The Beatitudes Pt. 4)

    Sermon on the Mount E7 – What will it cost us to live like Jesus in our world? In the third and final triad of the Beatitudes, Jesus declares that the good life belongs to the peacemakers. But making peace Jesus-style will mean conflict, pain, difficulty, and even persecution. In this episode, Tim, Jon, and others explore the cultural tensions surrounding Jesus, his audience, and the four ancient groups who tried to make peace and how Jesus’ teachings created conflict with all of these groups.

Amazing app

Hello,
I just wanted to share that this is the most transformative application that I’ve come across.
The founders of this organization are very thoughtful, humble, insightful, and entertaining.
If there was a way to make this available on the Apple TV, I would welcome that.
I’ve been a Christian since 1966 and I feel like had I had access to this learning format, I would be much further along.
Tremendous props to the BibleProject team for your dedication to authenticity of the original language, storytelling, creativity with illustrations, and producing results in my heart.
God bless you!
