What is a practical step to be a part of an institution?

#7 – The Best Sermon Ever with Dr. Jonathan Pennington
7 december 2017 · 32 min
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley are joined by Dr. Jonathan Pennington as they discuss the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 and answer the question, “is Jesus a philosopher?” Lees meer
Questions Covered in This Episode:
The Sermon on the Mount has got to be one of the most familiar passages in the New Testament, why should we take a fresh look at this heavily explored passage?
A typical reading of the beatitudes is “blessed,” but could it be more accurate to translate this as “flourishing.” Why is that?
What is the Sermon the Mount about? What are the key contexts of this section of scripture?
So, should I view the Sermon the Mount as a list of do’s and don'ts?
What is virtue ethics and why is it helpful in understanding the sermon on the mount?
For someone who wants to dig deeper into the Sermon on the Mount, what next steps would you encourage?
Guest Bio:
Dr. Pennington is associate professor of New Testament Interpretation at Southern Seminary and director of doctoral research studies. Dr. Pennington is the author of numerous books including: How to Read the Gospels Wisely and The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing.

Who was the original audience of the creation account? How does that shape the way we read Genesis 1-11?

#3 – Is God Three or One?
28 september 2017 · 29 min
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley discuss the Trinity, looking at common misunderstandings and what is at stake if we do not properly understand this foundational doctrine of Christian faith. They discuss why seeing God’s Triune nature provokes us to deeper worship, obedience, and mission. “The trinity filled my heart full of heartfelt joy and I knew that all eternity was like this for those who attain heaven for the trinity is God and God the trinity the trinity is our maker and keeper our eternal love joy and bliss all through our Lord Jesus Christ” Julian of Norwich Lees meer
Questions Covered in This Episode:
When people start reflecting on the Trinity they start getting fearful that maybe all the language they have had to understand and talk about God was wrong. Is that true?
What do you often find as the biggest obstacle to accurate understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity?
What is the simplest way we can state the doctrine of the Trinity?
Why does a proper understanding of the Trinity matter?
How can there be one God and three gods?
But isn’t speculation on the Trinity irreverent, isn’t God incomprehensible, so how could we possibly understand and why should we even try?
How does seeing God’s Triune nature provoke us to deeper worship, obedience, and mission?
What are some of the most common misunderstandings (heresies) of the Trinity? And, why are they problematic?
Helpful Definitions:
Trinitarianism: God eternally exists as one God, and three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, each of whom is fully God, yet there is one God.

#2 – Jesus’ Family Tree
14 september 2017 · 33 min
Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley work through the lineage of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew and discuss why genealogies in the Bible, though intimidating and confusing on the surface, are significant. Lees meer
Questions Covered in This Episode:
Why do the gospels include genealogies?
What are some of the key differences between the genealogies in the four gospels?
What makes Matthew’s genealogy distinct?
When bible readers hit names and numbers in the bible, there is a tendency to skip over to “the good stuff,” what do we miss if we skip serious study and reflection of the genealogies?
Some have argued that we have to separate the Jesus of Faith from the Christ of history. What does that mean and how does it slip into our thinking? How do the genealogies defy this division?
