    Calming of the Storm

    In this episode, Dr. Gurtner and Tyler cover the Calming of the Storm in Matthew 8:23-27. Focus on the method Jesus uses to preform this miracle, in order to help us realize what this passage is trying to tell us; that Jesus is God. When we are reading the Gospels, we can apply its message to our modern context only after we understand what the author was originally telling his readers.

    Purpose of the Parables

    Dr. Gurtner and Tyler talk about the purpose of parables. Parables teach disciples about the kingdom of God, they call people to make a decision, and they are also a statement of judgement. Knowing the context of a parable can help you acquire a deeper understanding. https://www.christianbook.com/interpreting-the-parables-craig-blomberg/9780830839674/pd/839674

    Peter's Confession

    The confession of Peter begins with the question; who is Jesus? This is the first time in Mark's Gospel that someone admits Jesus is the Christ. Jesus then defines who the Christ is and what He does. What does Peter's reaction and the context of this passage mean for us today?

    Paralytic in Luke

    In this episode, Dr. Gurtner and Tyler talk about the healing of a paralyzed man in Luke chapter 5. What is easier to say, your sins are forgiven or get up and walk? The Son of Man has the authority to do both. Take the time to slow down and read the Bible to really understand what the passages are trying to tell you.

    Transfiguration

    Dr. Gurtner talks about the accounts of the Transfiguration that are found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke's Gospels. Did you know that 'transfigured' means looked different or transformed?

    Mark's Longer Ending - Textual Criticism

    In this episode, Dr. Gurtner and Tyler tackle Mark chapter 16. This passage ends in a strange way that has confused scholars for a very long time. Does the longer ending of Mark belong in our Bibles? What are we supposed to do with that information? Dr. Gurtner explains how textual criticism, or a discipline of studying the Bible, can be helpful in this situation.

    The Lord's Prayer

    In the final episode of Conceptions and Misconceptions, Dr. Gurtner and Tyler continue the conversation on textual criticism. They talk about the differences in the Lord's Prayer found in Matthew 6:13 between the ESV and the King James version. The recitation of this prayer goes back hundreds of years in early church history. How does that extra bit not in that passage get added on to the prayer you memorized in Sunday school?
