Episode 24: As Israel and his family were living in the land of Hamor, a prince of that land named Schechem raped Dinah, Israel’s daughter. However, instead of sending her away in secret, Schechem asks for his father to strike a deal so that he might have her as a wife. An agreement was made to give him Dinah for the price of Hamor, Schechem, and all the men in their city being circumcised. But Dinah’s brothers, Simeon and Levi, would not hear of it.

Jesus is Lord
Romans 10:9-10 states, “…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” What does it mean when we say “Jesus is Lord”?

How is Jesus a Priest?
One of the challenges facing the Jewish converts was all the talk of this son of David being a priest. How does the Bible make sense of places like Psalm 110 where the messiah is clearly both priest and king? The VC covers these topics and much more in this episode.
Judges 19-21 | How Bad Can It Get?
Judges 19-21 tells the story of a Levite and his concubine who were traveling through the tribe of Benjamin.
Chapter 19 tells the story of a Levite and his concubine who were traveling through the tribe of Benjamin. They were given shelter by an old man in Gibeah, but during the night, a mob demanded that the Levite be handed over so that they could sexually assault him. The old man offered the mob his virgin daughter and the Levite's concubine instead. The concubine was then brutally raped and left for dead. The Levite took her body and cut it into twelve pieces, sending them to the tribes of Israel.
Chapter 20 describes the response of the tribes of Israel to the murder of the Levite's concubine. They assembled a great army and demanded that the tribe of Benjamin hand over the guilty parties. However, the tribe of Benjamin refused, and a war ensued. The first day of the battle saw the Israelites suffer a great defeat, but on the second day, they were able to turn the tide and defeat Benjamin.
Chapter 21 tells of the aftermath of the war against Benjamin. The other tribes of Israel realized that they had essentially destroyed one of their own tribes and were concerned about the survival of the tribe of Benjamin. They decided to allow the remaining Benjamites to abduct women from the city of Jabesh-gilead to use as wives, in order to ensure the survival of the tribe.
It is important to note that this story is descriptive rather than prescriptive. It does not promote or condone the actions of the characters involved, but rather serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of lawlessness and moral decay. The story illustrates the consequences of disregarding the principles of justice and righteousness, and the need for good governance and leadership.

Micah, The Levite, and the Tribe of Dan - The Book of Judges
In this Bible Story, the tribe of Dan steals idols from the house of Micah, and siege an innocent village. The tribe of Dan found a home at the expense of others, and Israel continued to sin before God. This story is inspired by Judges 17-18. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.
Today's Bible verse is Judges 18:6 from the King James Version.
Episode 70: Israel was descending into madness, right and wrong went out the door and everyone did what they wanted. From the hill country of Ephraim an Israelite named Micah stole silver from his mother. But when he returned it his mother made him an idol out of it and it became one of his household gods. One day, a Levite, who was not content serving in the tabernacle, decided to look for work elsewhere and Micah, seeing him wandering, appointed him to be the priest of his house thinking that God would bless him for this. But God will not bless foolishness just because we place his name on it. Micah ended up losing the Levite and his idols. And their sin became the sin of an entire tribe.

What’s a Nazarite Vow? – Numbers E2
Confession of sins, strange water rituals, Nephilim, and Nazarite vows—Numbers 5 and 6 might feel like a confusing mix of laws, but the scroll’s author is cleverly reminding us of the Hebrew Bible melody we first encountered in Genesis 1-9. In this episode, Tim and Jon talk about four odd laws that are part of the intricate story we’ve been following through the Torah.

Parables 14 - Good Samaritan - 2021 0516
Luke 10:29-37 - Jesus uses the parable of the Good Samaritan to remind us that loving God is about actions, not just words. Sowing love and mercy is a way we demonstrate our love for God and others. Getting involved in the life of others is messy and will come at a cost to us. We are to use the resources God gives us to bring glory to God and serve those God puts in our path.
