1. There is a lot about crime and punishment in this episode. Some of these rules seem odd but there may be more going on in them than you think.
  2. The 10 Commandments may be in the rearview mirror but God isn't done speaking. Two kinds of fear? Instructions for altars. What is worship really about? Everything is religious?
  3. Our goal is to proclaim the genuine good news—that’s what “Gospel” means—of Christ’s forgiveness for you. We do not offer you better tips, techniques or checklists. Instead, You Are Forgiven is sermons by faithful pastors who will clearly show how you cannot be forgiven by your own efforts, no matter how well you do on your homework, your checklist of tasks. But they will also show how you are actually and already forgiven because Jesus has done all that is needed, for you!
  4. On episode FOURTEEN of Let the Bird Fly! we welcome Dr. Mark Braun back to discuss Lutheranism in America, and especially the split between the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (and, as Professor Teigen would point out, the split also involved the Evangelical Lutheran Synod).
  5. Who are Jesus' brothers, sisters, and mother? Are there greater realities than what we see with our eyes?
  6. Chad Bird and Daniel Emery Price finish up the 10 Commandments. They spend a lot of time talking about the Sabbath and why it contains almost as many words as the rest of the commandments put together
  7. This week Jesus continues to go after the Pharisees. Bad trees and bad fruit. Little devils. Being justified and condemned by your words.
  8. It's time for the ten commandments! Well, it's time for the first two anyway. What does it mean to have no other God's before God's own face? Are all images forbidden no matter what?
  9. The Pharisees are trying to trap Jesus on the Sabbath but made up law doesn't stop Jesus from showing mercy to bruised reeds and flickering wicks then or now.
  10. Jesus has some hard words for those who call Him a 'drunkard' and say John the Baptist has a demon.
  11. Mount Sinai is a freaky place. Darkness, thunder, lightning, and threats of death. What are the differences between Sinai and Calvary?
  12. Jesus has not come to bring peace but a sword? What does He mean by setting mothers and fathers against sons and daughters?
