SGIG E189 ‘A Hope-Filled Perspective’ on Divorce from Matthew 5 – with Richard Murray & Mike Zenker

The topic of ‘divorce’ has been a contentious one in many church circles.  Some say there is no room for divorce because ‘the bible plainly says so.’  Others have taken a much deeper look, investigating language translations, cultural context, Jewish history etc…  Maybe there is a ‘more hope-filled’ perspective on this topic?  Enjoy this meaningful conversation as we explore what Matthew 5 could mean on the topic.

Did Jesus Really Say That? – Sermon On The Mount – Part 4

Maybe it is not so much about learning ‘new’ teaching as it is understanding and applying what we have already been taught.  What if we celebrated the value of ‘being reminded’ instead of trying to learn new things.  This is where we may find ‘hope’ when things are not going well, as well as when things are going well.  If we open our eyes to see, we will be stunned at the overflowing grace that has ‘already’ been communicated to us.  We will see it in the hurting, the outcast, those with less, those who have lost, those who have forgiven much, and in those who grieve.  We may even see it in the words on pages in ‘sacred texts’.  Enjoy!

TODAY: we visit the topic of Adultery and Divorce in Matthew 5.  If the Greek language has 7 different words for our ONE English word ‘Love’, would it surprise you to find out that for our ‘ONE’ word ‘Divorce’, the Greek has more than one word to express that word.  Any honest study of this topic requires that we study language, context, and culture before we rapidly ‘react’ to a conclusion.  Enjoy!!

SGIG E187 ‘Intuition & The Light Of Christ’

Have you ever had a sense that something is true but you are not sure?  Something you can verify or prove, but ‘somehow’ deep down you know there is ‘something true’ about what has just been said or something you’ve read??  Some use the word ‘intuition’ to describe this ‘thing’.  Enjoy this discussion with Richard Murray and I as we explore what it could mean and how to embrace it!!

SGIG E186 ‘Did Jesus Pay Off The Father?’

Have you ever ‘really’ thought through this idea of Jesus paying our debt??  He paid for our sin??  What does that actually mean??  I grew up being taught that Jesus paid off his father so his father would not be so angry anymore. What if there is a better or more ‘hope-filled’ perspective on this topic??  Listen in and see what you think!  Enjoy!!

SGIG E185 Rethinking God With Tacos – Derek Turner & Jason Clark

It is a rare thing to meet someone and find an ‘instant kinship’ with them.  Something inside tells you ‘these guys are folks I REALLY want to get to know better’.  Derek Turner and Jason Clark are like that, really really amazing guys I am looking forward to get to know better.  Today’s program is actually THEIR program that they aired recently.  I had the honour of being a guest on their podcast and just had to share the conversation with you all because I think you will simply ‘be encouraged’.  Enjoy
