Lying and Dying (Acts 5:1-11)

In this episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price discuss the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5. They provide the context of the early church and the Council of Jerusalem, highlighting the opposition the believers faced from both Jewish and Roman authorities. They explain that the sin in this narrative is not the withholding of money, but the lying and deception. They discuss the significance of lying to the apostles, who represent God, and the fear that came upon the church as a result. They emphasize that this passage is a law passage and does not contain the gospel.

Fruitless and Faithless (Mark 11:12-33)

In this episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price delve into the puzzling story in Mark 11 about Jesus cursing a fig tree and clearing the temple. They explore how this narrative features a story-within-a-story format, beginning with Jesus cursing a fig tree for having no fruit, then disrupting the temple activities, and finally returning to the withered fig tree. They suggest that Jesus' actions are a symbolic judgment on the religious system of his time, indicating that the temple practices had become corrupt and fruitless, just like the fig tree. Tune in as they unpack how these events challenge us to rethink our understanding of Jesus' character and the nature of faith and forgiveness.

Ministry of Reconciliation For You (2 Corinthians 5)

In today's episode of Tough Texts, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price dive into 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. This passage is often taken out of context, which can lead to misunderstandings about judgment and faith. Scott and Dan emphasize the importance of reading this verse within the broader context of Paul's message, where he assures believers of the promise of new life in Christ and His ministry of reconciliation. By unpacking the surrounding verses, they clarify that the judgment Paul refers to is deeply connected to living in faith, not merely our actions. Join us as we explore how Paul's words encourage us to trust in the righteousness of Christ rather than fear judgment day.

I have a pretty extensive line up of podcasts- seems most are from 1517! I love this one due to being presented with new ways to understand things that just seemed weird or contradictory. The hosts are great together, the dialogue easy to understand and enjoyable.
Wait…Another favorite!!
