1. Jesus is born, and His birth is proclaimed to shepherds which includes good news for all of us.
  2. Orgies and drunkenness and licentiousness, oh my! Sometimes Christians get hung up on the really “big” sins, but Paul lists quarreling and jealousy right there with them. What’s the connection? Craig and Troy discuss how love does no wrong to a neighbor, for love is the fulfillment of the law.
  3. Jericho has fallen but it isn’t all smooth sailing going forward. Someone has “broken faith” and all of Israel feels the consequences.
  4. Daniel and Erick continue in Luke with the birth of John. Zachariah finally speaks and there is much to discuss in what he says.
  5. Chad and Daniel continue discussing Joshua’s interaction with the Commander of the Lord’s army and why this is certainly Jesus.
  6. “Vengeance is mine!” says the Lord. God has established governing authorities to punish the wrongdoer. How do we understand our role as Christians and our role as citizens? Craig and Troy wade into this topic and wrestle with God’s Word and difficult realities.
  7. Gabriel appears to Mary with the shocking announcement that she is to be the mother of the Son of God. How should we view Mary?
  8. Fear strikes the hearts of the people who witness the crossing of the Jordan and the commander of the LORD’S army shows up.
  9. Daniel and Erick begin the Gospel of Luke in this episode. After some introduction, they discuss the promise of the birth of John the baptizer.
  10. Chad and Daniel have a lot to say about the Jordan River and the role it plays in scripture.
  11. How can we know the mysterious workings of God? We look to Jesus: Jesus does His job of Jesus-ing only the way He can Jesus. Jesus never did His Messiah work the way that people thought that He should, and nothing has changed. We are blessed that He is not a God created of our own image and imagination. All of this is revealed to us through the God’s word alone, and in that word we have comfort of what Christ has done for us.
  12. Daniel and Erick wrap up Paul’s letter to the Philippians. He can “do all things through Christ”, what does that statement mean for him and us?
