S1E15- Under His Wings (Ruth, Redemption, and the Redeemer)

What if the book of Ruth isn't primarily a love story? In this Season 1 finale, we journey through the book of Ruth to discover one of the most beautiful pictures of redemption in all of Scripture. Together, we'll explore the role of the kinsman redeemer, the significance of the threshing floor, the powerful meaning behind the Hebrew word kanaph ("wing" or "corner of a garment"), and how Ruth's story ultimately points us to Jesus, our willing Redeemer. Key Verses -Ruth 1–4 Key Focus -Understanding Ruth as a story of redemption rather than romance -Discovering the biblical role of the kinsman redeemer (go'el) -Following the word kanaph throughout Scripture -Exploring the symbolism of the threshing floor -Seeing how Boaz foreshadows Christ -Understanding God's heart for outsiders and the broken Cross References -Judges 21:25 -Numbers 15:38–39 -Malachi 4:2 -Matthew 9:20–22 -Luke 8:43–48 -Ephesians 2:11–13 -Hebrews 2:14–17 -Revelation 5:1–10  Reflection -Where do I identify with Ruth? -Am I trying to earn God's favor, or am I resting in the work of my Redeemer? -What "threshing floor" might God be using in my life right now? -Where have I mistaken God's silence for His absence? -How does knowing Christ is my willing Redeemer change the way I approach Him?   You can find my books, blog, worship playlist, as well as all the teaching resources I will be discussing on my website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tiffanydorrgilland.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.tiffanydorrgilland.com].

S1E14- Faith Isn't What We Think It Is (Hebrews 11)

What if faith isn't pretending everything is okay? In this episode, we take a deep look at Hebrews 11 and discover that biblical faith is not positive thinking, emotional certainty, or pretending life isn't hard. Through the lives of Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and others, we'll see that faith is trusting God's character even when we don't fully understand His plans. Together, we'll learn that faithfulness isn't measured by outcomes- but by continued trust in a faithful God. Key Verses -Hebrews 11:1-40   Cross References -Hebrews 10:35-39 -Hebrews 12:1-3   How to Study This Passage As you read Hebrews 11, ask: -Who is the author writing to? -What is happening in Hebrews 10 before chapter 11 begins? -How is faith defined in verse 1? -What actions are connected to faith throughout the chapter? -What repeated phrases do you notice? -How do the examples of faith differ from one another? -Why does the chapter shift from victory to suffering? -What does this reveal about God's character? -How does Hebrews 12 build on Hebrews 11?   Reflection -What circumstances am I struggling to trust God with? -Do I define faith by outcomes or by trust? -Where am I waiting on God right now? -What would it look like to trust God's character even when I don't understand His plan? -Am I looking for certainty- or learning to walk by faith?   You can find my books, blog, worship playlist, as well as all the teaching resources I will be discussing on my website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tiffanydorrgilland.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.tiffanydorrgilland.com].

S1E13- The Potter’s Field (The Potter, The Temple, and The Place Purchased for Strangers)

What if the most overlooked details in the story of Judas are actually the most important? In this episode, we continue tracing the story of the thirty pieces of silver by exploring the potter, the temple, and the field purchased for strangers. Together, we'll discover why these details were included in Scripture, how they connect to Old Testament prophecy, and what they reveal about God's plan of redemption for outsiders. Key Verses -Matthew 27:3–10 -Zechariah 11:12–13 -Jeremiah 18:1–6 -Jeremiah 19:1–13 -Ephesians 2:11–13 -John 10 Cross References -Jeremiah 18:1–6 -Jeremiah 19:1–13 -Isaiah 64:8 -Romans 9:20–24 -Ephesians 2:11–19 -1 Peter 2:9–10   How to Study This Passage As you read Matthew 27 and the related passages, ask: -Why does Matthew include the detail about the potter? -Why is the temple specifically mentioned? -What role does a potter play throughout Scripture? -What did Jeremiah learn at the potter's house? -Why was the field purchased with blood money? -Why was the field designated for strangers? -What repeated themes do you see throughout these passages? -What do these details reveal about God's character? -How does this story point to Christ and the Gospel?   Reflection Where have I felt like an outsider? Do I believe God's redemption extends even to people like me? What broken places in my life need to be placed in the Potter's hands? How does this story change the way I view God's ability to redeem painful circumstances? What does the potter's field teach me about God's heart for the overlooked and forgotten?   Final Reminder Judas saw a field. The religious leaders saw a place to bury strangers. But God saw something bigger. A field purchased with the price of the rejected Shepherd. A place for outsiders. A reminder that redemption was never meant for a select few. Because the Gospel is the story of God bringing near those who were once far away.     You can find my books, blog, worship playlist, as well as all the teaching resources I will be discussing on my website at ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tiffanydorrgilland.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ [www.tiffanydorrgilland.com].

S1E12 - The Price of a Shepherd (Thirty Pieces of Silver, the Potter, and the Shepherd Israel Rejected)

What if the story of the thirty pieces of silver didn't begin with Judas? In this episode, we travel back to Zechariah 11 to uncover the surprising story behind one of the most famous numbers in the Bible. Together, we'll explore the rejected shepherd, the thirty pieces of silver, the potter, and the field- and discover how a prophecy written centuries before Christ reveals the heart of the Gospel and the worth of the Shepherd humanity rejected.
