1. In this episode we introduce the topic of gender in regard to justification and sanctification. In other words, women aren't saved any differently than men. It was revolutionary back in New Testament times and in some circumstances, it's still revolutionary today.
  2. God relentlessly pursues those who stray so that He may restore them to where they belong.
  3. Mary is blessed, because Mary knows the way God works and because she knows His promises, and she knows that in her womb grows her savior.
  4. What is Christmas all about? It's inconceivable, but nevertheless about Christ being conceived. The word of God was promised, and that promise was Jesus.
  5. What does it mean to become a child in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Pride and earthly strength compete with Christlike humility.
  6. "You have little faith" really just means "You think you have a small Jesus." What Jesus promises He is able to do.
  7. "Take up your cross and follow me" . . . what does this mean?
  8. The confession of Jesus as the Christ is the firm foundation of the Church. Even as Peter was called blessed in confessing this, so too are we.
  9. We are discussing "I can do all things through Christ" in context of the rest of the passage, and then we discuss the story of Abraham sacrificing Isaac (rather... not sacrificing him) and whether or not Christians are called to sacrifice. Is that what this passage is talking about?
  10. In the constant search for new and novel experiences, are we forsaking the simple word of God? Beware of the leaven of novelty.
  11. Dr. Paulson continues the discussion on Erasmus's use of kindness.
  12. Jesus came not only for the sheep, but apparently for the dogs as well. You won't believe what happens when she asks for a favor.
