Good Friday is a mixed bag for Christians. Some treat the day very seriously, some churches have special services, and other Christians simply skip Good Friday and go straight to celebrating Easter. But what should we think about Good Friday? Rather than telling you how to celebrate Good Friday, I want to tell you how we should think through the events. Specifically, I want to spend this episode discussing how Good Friday was a day when much more was going on than what met the eyes of Jesus' disciples, the crowds, and the religious leaders. In fact, we're going to see how the events taking place during Good Friday were meant to call us back to the curse and the promise found in Genesis 3.

Is this a helpful statement? Is it a Roman Catholic idea? Is it even biblical? Today I want to share with you a provocative statement made by none other than the Protestant Reformer, John Calvin. Today we're doing a little church history, some interaction with Ephesians 4, and an overall increase (hopefully) in our appreciation for belonging to both Jesus Himself, and His church.

Genealogies are probably the least-appreciated part of the Bible. They're full of names hard to pronounce, and if our motivation is low, we'll find a reason to simply skip over them altogether. But that's no good. Genealogies are worth out time- not only because they are part of God's inspired Word- but also because they make some important points when it comes to understanding the Bible's claim to historical reliability and theological interpretation. To help you appreciate genealogies, let's take a look at the two genealogies of Jesus (Matthew and Luke) and see what they teach us about the birth narratives of Jesus.

Hey friends! I'll be preaching a series of sermons through the book of Ruth at my church, and I wanted to share them with you. You can expect these sermons about once a month, and if you've never studied the book of Ruth before, this sermon will be a great place to start, since we'll kick things off in chapter 1, verse 1. 

Thanks for listening!
