    Mark 6:1-6a – He went away from there and came to his hometown, and his disciples followed him. And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. And Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household.” And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And he marveled because of their unbelief…

    Mark 1:2-5 – As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

    Luke 2:13-20 – And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

More than I at first expected

I have really enjoyed these daily podcasts. You learn quickly that the aim is not for it to be merely an academic exercise. Every time I listen in, I find myself refreshed by such truths and characteristics of God that the podcaster humbly seeks to acknowledge. It seems it’s a journey not to simply examine a word, but to pursue the Author of life. I’m in.

May the podcast continue all year!

These short episodes are perfect to start the day. They are well-reasearched, concise, and can serve as a devotional leading to a meditation on the day’s word or concept.

Bonus: By the end of the year you will have 365 Koine Greek words, understanding most of the vocabulary in the Greek New Testament putting you well on your way to being able to read the New Testament in Greek!
