Route 66: A Journey Through the Bible

Already, Not Yet Kingdom (Matthew, Part 12)

Jesus is sending His Church into the world with the good news—the gospel—that through the crucified and risen Jesus, sin is forgiven and eternal life with God is secured. All who, by the power God’s Holy Spirit, believe this good news have exactly what it promises.But most will either be indifferent or hostile to this message and to the Christians who bear it. Jesus says, though, that we have good reason not to fear.This episode covers Matthew 10:26-11:19 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2010%3A26-11%3A19&version=NIV].Here are items mentioned and/or shared for this episode:Matthew 10 interlinear [https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/10.htm]Matthew 11 interlinear [https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/11.htm]Matthew 12 interlinear [https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/12.htm]What Lutherans Teach About the Second Coming [https://blog.cph.org/read/what-lutherans-teach-about-christs-second-coming]Why ‘Left Behind’ Should Be Left Behind (Part 1) [https://ministrymatters.com/2014-09-19_why_left_behind_should_be_left_behind/]Why ‘Left Behind’ Should Be Left Behind (Part 2) [https://ministrymatters.com/2014-09-22__left_behind_examining_the_rapture_texts/]5 Things About Jesus’ Second Coming [https://markluth91.substack.com/p/5-things-about-jesus-second-coming]Please like, share, and subscribe to this podcast and my Substack site.

The Bible: How We Got It, Why We Can Trust It

In this special episode of the podcast, I present a quick overview on how the Bible came into being and why we can trust it as God’s Word for us. I’ve been thinking about doing a presentation like this for a long time, but never got around to it. Then the elders at Living Water Lutheran Church in Centerville, Ohio, asked me to give what they’re calling a Jed Talk during the Sunday School hour. I chose this topic, then prayed—a lot—and prepared.If you’re interested in learning more on this topic, I suggest two books:Why Should I Trust the Bible by A. Trevor SuttonHow We Got the Bible by Timothy Paul Jones I hope you find the slide presentation here helpful.
