Feasting on Truth - SoundSage

View Details

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 15-16 and wraps up this study called Unexpected Savior. It is hard to read these verses and see what our Savior suffered on our behalf, but we must press in. Mark pulls out all of his juxtapositions here: irony, insider/outsider motifs, the secret gospel and one final Markan sandwich to put an exclamation point on his account of Jesus' life. His final verses remind us of who Jesus is and how He accomplished His mission, and the account comes to an intentionally abrupt close that forces us to make our decision about Jesus and ultimately, our lives.

The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us. Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 14 - all 72 verses! The time has come. This chapter is packed with the last days before the cross. Jesus is anointed in Bethany, shares the Passover meal with disciples, and prays in the Garden of Gethsemane. He is arrested and His trial begins. These are familiar stories, but with three Markan sandwiches, our challenge is to read this within Mark's structure and better understand our Unexpected Savior.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 12. It's tempting to lift these passages out of their context and attempt to interpret individually, allowing the mysteries within to distract us. But we must continue to study within Mark's specific structure. As the religious leaders continue to try to trap Jesus, Jesus proves once again that He is the authority, wise and deliberate. He tells a parable building on the leafy fig tree of Mark 11, defeats each trap set before Him, and ultimately reminds us of His desire for each of us: to surrender so He might bear fruit through us.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 11. Jesus arrives at Jerusalem's doorstep and enters deliberately and triumphantly into the city and into the Holy Week. Mark makes a bold statement about what Jesus has come to do through another Markan sandwich. This week required a little extra cultural study to fully grasp the meaning behind the withered fig tree and the cleansing of the temple. The time has come; Jesus is about to accomplish for us what we could not do on our own.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 10. This chapter is the final one in the middle section of Mark, a series of conversations as Jesus moves from Galilee to Jerusalem. Jesus continues to teach His disciples and followers about why He came: He came to do what we cannot do ourselves. He came not to be served, but to serve. He's is not what they expected, nor is His kingdom like the kingdom of this world. It's so much better.

In this episode, Erin H. Warren talks about the importance of community in building faith. Satan loves for us to remain in isolation, but God designed us to be in community around the Word of God. Using examples from Scripture, Erin explains what this community looks like and shares one of the most powerful pictures of how community builds our faith found in Ephesians 6:16.

Building Faith is a companion series to REconstructing Faith on the Million Praying Moms podcast. This series sets a foundation for Erin's new book, Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What.

More on the book:

Life rarely goes as planned, and we often find ourselves tossed to and fro by circumstances out of our control. When things go awry, our confidence in God’s faithfulness may waver. But His faithfulness is tied to His promises in Scripture, not our earthly circumstances.

In Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What, author Erin H. Warren unpacks the precious promises of God that are worth far more than anything this world has to offer.

You will learn how God:

• Lifts your burdens to give you rest

• Provides an abundance of comfort that you can extend to others

• Sends rainbows and hope after every storm

• Shares a steadfast love that never wavers

• Gives us His strength to keep running the race

Erin’s prayer is that by the end of this book, “women will fling their arms wide and leap forward to proclaim, ‘I trust in God!’”

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 8, a turning point in this Gospel. A hungry crowd once again gathers and Jesus provides miraculously. But what makes this miracle powerful is where it takes place. Jesus continues to be grieved by the hardness of the Pharisees and warns His disciples, who still do not fully perceive who He is (even though Peter confesses Jesus as Christ). Jesus plainly predicts His suffering, rejection, death, and resurrection and calls us to lay down our lives as well.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 5. Building on the themes of Mark 4, this chapter clearly points to the truth that Jesus came to make us clean and raise us to new life. Through three stories, we see Mark use irony to show how Jesus is not made unclean by contact with the unclean. In fact, the opposite happens. With another Markan Sandwich, Mark proves that not only are the words of Jesus powerful, He is omnipotent too.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 4. It's easy to read these parables and translate them into "What do I need to do?" But as we pull back to see the structure and juxtaposition of these stories, Mark teaches us important truths about who Jesus is and why He came. He is sowing the seeds of the gospel. His Word is going out with purpose and with power as Jesus breaks ground for His kingdom. Jesus is our Source, the Truth, and has the Words of Eternal Life. Then, as he often does, Mark tells a story to illustrate the power of Jesus' Word.

Mark begins his gospel proclaiming that this is the good news of Jesus Christ. While on the surface it appears to be a quick overview of the beginning of Jesus's ministry, Mark's structure helps us see a pattern of proclaiming a truth then proving it with an example. Here, Mark begins with a creation parallel, an example of what it looks like "to turn to" Jesus, and a profound picture of what Jesus came to do.

William Tyndale in his 1534 preface to Romans

"Forasmuch as this epistle is the principal and most excellent part of the New Testament, and most pure [gospel]. . . and also a light and a way in unto the whole scripture, I think it meet that every Christian man not only know it by rote but also exercise himself therein evermore continually as with the daily bread of the soul. No man verily can read it too oft or study it too well: for the more it is studied the easier it is, the more it is searched the more precious things are found in it, so great treasure of spiritual things lieth hid therein."

NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible

"Sometimes writers saved particularly controversial matters for the end of a speech or letter. After tracing theological (chs 1-11) and moral (chs 12-13) ground for unity between Jewish and non-Jewish believers, Paul comes to some practical issues that are apparently causing division between Romans Christians. Three Jewish practices for which non-Jewish Romans especially mocked Jew were circumcision (already addressed in 2:25-29; 4:9-12), food practices and holy days."

Matthew Henry

We usurp the place of God, when we take upon us thus to judge the thoughts and intentions of others, which are out of our view.

The Bible Project

These practices don't define who's in or out of Jesus' family. And if people differ over these culturally important, but non-essential issues, they need to learn to respect each other's differences.

To resist authority of those ruling legitimately is to rebel against God's command.

Ellicott's Commentary

Deafness and blindness may prevent the sufferers from detecting the offender, and bringing him to justice before an earthly tribunal, but God on high hears it when the human ear is stopped up, and sees it when the human eye is extinct. Hence the prohibition against injustice to the infirm and the poor is enforced by an appeal to fear the Lord.

QUOTES

Alexander MacLaren

Character, then, or, more truly, faith, which is the foundation of a righteous character, determines the acceptableness of worship. Cain’s offering had no sense of dependence, no outgoing of love and trust, no adoration,-though it may have had fear,-and no moral element. So it had no sweet odour for God. Abel’s was sprinkled with some drops of the incense of lowly trust, and came from a heart which fain would be pure; therefore it was a joy to God. So we are taught at the very beginning, that, as is the man, so is his sacrifice

Alexander MacLaren

The strength of a Christian man’s faith determines his whole Christian character. Faith is trust, the attitude of receptivity . . .

But Paul here regards the measure of faith as itself ‘dealt to every man’; and however we may construe the grammar of this sentence there is a deep sense in which our faith is God’s gift to us. We have to give equal emphasis to the two conceptions of faith as a human act and as a divine bestowal, which have so often been pitted against each other as contradictory when really they are complementary.

R. Kent Hughes

There is scarcely anything more important for building our commitment than an increasing understanding of the greatness of God and his mercies to us.

The book of Romans is foundational yet deep. It is simple yet complex. It is an incredibly influential book that has been changing lives for centuries. Romans is the gospel truth that we need every day, and we will never reach an end to the treasures that await us in this powerful letter. Everything we have and all that we are is by His grace for His glory.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 11. God is creating a multi-ethnic family where we are all common in sin and common in salvation. This is a further breakdown of the fact that God requires faith for salvation. That is His grace to us. Being born Jewish or following the law is not what saves you. We cannot choose our own way and then call God unfaithful. He is faithful always, and we need to submit to His ways, through faith in Jesus Christ, and accept the gift of grace He offers.

Prophets recognized that after judgment, God would deliver the remnant, the survivors (e.g. Isaiah 10:20-22; 28:5; 37:31-32; Jeremiah 50:20; Micah 5:7-8); Paul speaks of those still faithful to divine truth. God chose his people because of his love (Deuteronomy 7:7-8); because Jewish people viewed themselves as the chosen people, Paul's emphasis on the more narrowly chosen remnant challenges their assumptions.

NIV Backgrounds Cultural Study Bible

A significant line of Jewish tradition emphasizes the future salvation of all Israel; while this meant Israel as a whole and not every individual Israelite, only the most notorious sinners were excluded. Paul supports his case with Isaiah 59:20-21, a context also mentioning the gift of the Spirit.

John Piper, The Gospel Coalition Conference 2022 keynote

The undeserved blessing of water from the rock, the undeserved blessing of manna from heaven, the undeserved blessing of deliverance at the Red Sea, the undeserved blessing of guidance by the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire, the undeserved blessing of Moses's leadership,

all of it was owing to the cross of Christ. Is it right, then, to say the rock was Christ? The manna was Christ? The deliverance was Christ? The pillars of fire and cloud were Christ? God's guilty people would enjoy no blessing apart from Christ and what he did 1400 years later.

And so it is for you and me who are in Christ, you who despair of your sinful self and know God owes you nothing.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 10. Paul continues connecting the Old and New Testaments and further explains why being born a Jew isn't enough for salvation. He explains how God is still faithful and has kept His promise. He uses several Old Testament verses to remind us that His Word is near, we must believe in our heart and confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord. Instead, Israel has turned away trying to establish their own way.

QUOTES

IVP Bible Background Commentary - Jewish teachers commonly expounded a text by citing other texts that shared the same key word; hence Paul ties in another verse (Joel 2:32) that has the word "whoever" to explain that in Isaiah 28:16 "not to be disappointed" (NASB) or "not to be put to shame (NIV) means "be saved."
Matthew Henry: The believer shall never have cause to repent his confident trust in the Lord Jesus. Of such faith no sinner shall be ashamed before God; and he ought to glory in it before men.
R. Kent Hughes; Romans: Righteousness from Heaven: The Law was given as a tutor to lead the Jewish nation to Christ. God never intended that the Jews would be saved through perfect obedience to the Law, but rather that by their failure to live up to it they would be driven to grace.
Matthew Henry: We may wonder at the mercy of God, that his goodness is not overcome by man's badness; we may wonder at the wickedness of man, that his badness is not overcome by God's goodness. And it is a matter of joy to think that God has sent the message of grace to so many millions, by the wide spread of his gospel.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 9. Paul moves into a new section of the letter, focusing on connecting the Old and New Testaments and showing God is still faithful to fulfill His promises. He uses at least a dozen Old Testament passages to show God's sovereignty over the line of promise as an example. Jesus is the promise, and we are saved only by faith in Him no matter our heritage. The Lord withholds judgement, and He allows those who surrender and those who do not to life longer to accomplish His purpose for the glory of His great name.

QUOTES

NIV Bible Commentary: If they are to embrace the gospel, they must see how it is truly the fulfillment of the Old Testament. Jewish-Christians also need to be assured that their faith in Christ does not mean they have ceased to believe in the God of the Old Testament and of their Jewish heritage. But Gentile-Christians must also see a connection between Old and New Testaments in the plan of salvation. They must see that their own faith has its roots sunk deeply into Old Testament soil.

The season of Advent is an invitation--an opportunity to slow down and take notice, to take in the wonder and miracle of Jesus' coming, a season to reflect on the character of the One who came.

In this final Advent podcast, Erin Warren focuses on this week's character focus: Jesus is the One Who Came. John 1:1-14 is a unique telling of the Christmas story. It focuses not on a baby, but on God, who came near, the glory of God beheld by human eyes, the One who came near and dwelt among us. This Advent we celebrate His coming here, but also look to His coming again.

This Advent, I want to extend to you a gracious invitation to Christmas. This season is busy, and our schedules are fuller than ever. But this simple study is an opportunity to see the character of the One who came near.

In this podcast, Erin Warren focuses on this week's character focus: Jesus is the Life and the Life Giver. There are so many passages in Scripture that speak to this characteristic, but Romans 6:1-14 uses the symbol of baptism to show how we die to our old self and are raised to new life in Christ Jesus. Death and sin no longer have dominion over us, and we walk in newness of life in Him. Jesus didn't come to make the bad good; He came to make the dead alive. He came that we might have life and have it abundantly.

Erin also sets up this coming week's character focus: Jesus is the One who came.

In this podcast, Erin Warren focuses on this week's character focus: Jesus is the Truth and the Truth Teller. In John 8, Jesus says that those who know truth are set free. His Word is true, but His truth is more than words He speaks. His Word is true because Jesus is the embodiment of truth. He is truth, and therefore all He says is true. Unlike the devil, who speaks lies because his character is a liar. We have a choice: we either abide in His truth freely or belong to the father of lies. Erin also sets up this coming week's character focus: Jesus is the Life and the Life Giver.

As Paul closes out the second section of his longest letter, he encourages us: that even in the already-but-not-yet and even though we struggle with our sin as we are sanctified, we are not condemned! We are more than conquerors and nothing can separate from the steadfast love of our Abba Father. But as we wait for the fulfillment of His promise, we are not orphans.

Luke 18:24-27
Hebrews 2:1

QUOTE

Craig S. Keener: The faith that it takes to be justified is rudimentary: we simply need to take God at his word that he has promised, namely, that he has provided us salvation by Jesus’s death and resurrection (Rom 4:22-25). That is, it is not difficult to exercise faith for salvation. But as we continue to walk with God and persevere through tests of our faith, we grow to see that God is reliable and that even in the hardest times there is hope. Abraham had seen God provide him a son miraculously and believed that this same God would fulfill his promise if Abraham obeyed him fully (Heb 11:17-19). We may not always hear the details as clearly as Abraham did, but we have surely heard the message of the cross. God is trustworthy, and tests of our faith are opportunities for us to learn faith in a deeper way, beyond saving faith. We may learn, ever more deeply, that God is trustworthy; if we persevere, the hardest challenges to faith are the ones that ultimately drive home his faithfulness most deeply, because no matter what God still has a plan and purpose for us that lasts forever.

QUOTES

NIV Application Commentary: Rarely does the Bible bring together in so few verses so many important theological ideas: the righteousness of God, justification, the shift in salvation history, faith, sin, redemption, grace, propitiation, forgiveness, and the justice of God. Here, more than anywhere else in Romans, Paul explains why Christ’s coming means “good news” for needy, sinful people.
William Barclay's Commentary: Finally, Paul says of God that he did all this because he is just, and accepts as just all who believe in Jesus. Paul never said a more startling thing than this. [Johann Albrecht] Bengel called it "the supreme paradox of the gospel." Think what it means. It means that God is just and accepts the sinner as a just man. The natural thing to say would be, "God is just, and, therefore, condemns the sinner as a criminal." But here we have the great paradox--God is just, and somehow, in that incredible, miraculous grace that Jesus came to bring to men, he accepts the sinner, not as a criminal, but as a son whom he still loves. What is the essence of all this? Where is the difference between it and the old way of the law? The basic difference is this--the way of obedience to the law is concerned with what a man can do for himself; the way of grace is concerned with what God can do, and has done, for him. Paul is insisting that nothing we can ever do can win for us the forgiveness of God; only what God has done for us can win that; therefore the way to a right relationship with God lies, not in a frenzied, desperate, doomed attempt to win acquittal by our performance; it lies in the humble, penitent acceptance of the love and the grace which God offers us in Jesus Christ.

R. Kent Hughes: Whenever a follower of Christ feels superior, he should beware, for such an attitude is not a sign of God's grace. To some into a position of spiritual privilege only to succumb to self-righteous arrogance indicates that one's soul is in great danger. Our familiarity with holy things must never give way to spiritual presumption. (Hughes, R. Kent. Romans: Righteousness from Heaven. United States, Crossway, 2013. p. 60)

I love Easter. I love what it represents. I love what it means for us. But 2000 years ago, they didn’t know. They didn’t realize. They couldn’t see. Yet. The Gospel of Matthew provides a unique perspective on the life of Jesus, with a heavy emphasis on the Kingdom of God. Matthew points over and over to the fact that this kingdom was not like any kingdom found on earth. In fact, it was the complete opposite. It was an upside down kingdom.

He is RISEN! He is RISEN INDEED! In this teaching through Matthew 28, Erin Warren discusses why the resurrection matters and how it effects the way we walk through this life. We may be living in the already but not yet, faced with fear, pain, hate, loss, death, but the victory is won and death has been defeated forevermore.

I love Easter. I love what it represents. I love what it means for us. But 2000 years ago, they didn’t know. They didn’t realize. They couldn’t see. Yet. The Gospel of Matthew provides a unique perspective on the life of Jesus, with a heavy emphasis on the Kingdom of God. Matthew points over and over to the fact that this kingdom was not like any kingdom found on earth. In fact, it was the complete opposite. It was an upside down kingdom.

Matthew 27 is a hard chapter to read. It's not easy reading what our Savior suffered, but it's also necessary for us to press in and lean in. Matthew again points to Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament and he relies on the juxtaposition of several stories to further show that Jesus is the Messiah they were waiting for. And through His death, we now have something that had not existed since the Garden of Eden: Access to the Presence of God.

Matthew 26 is comprised of 75 verses and 10 mini stories about the event leading up to Jesus' death. There are some big events here: the anointing of Jesus at Bethany. the Lord's Supper, Judas' betrayal, Peter's denial. It's easy to get lost with this much material, but as Erin Warren teaches, she helps to focus the attention on one question: How does this passage show Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament? It's a good exercise in taking the purpose of the author and applying it to the passage.

In this first teaching, Erin Warren gives the context of the book of Matthew as well as dives in to Matthew 21:1-17 (The Triumphal Entry and Jesus Cleanses the Temple). Right off the bat, we see Matthew reiterating two of his key themes for the book: Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and He is the new Moses and the promised Messiah.

Why study this ancient tent? What does knowing the Tabernacle have to do with our faith on this side of the cross? Everything. From Creation, God's desire was to dwell in the midst of His people. In the middle of the wilderness, God gives Moses a way for God Himself to dwell in the midst of His people: the Tabernacle. This tent is not merely ritual or history or good information. It's essential to understanding our salvation. Our detailed and deliberate God gave us the Tabernacle because one day, He would give us Jesus.

In this final teaching, Erin Warren discusses the sixth and seventh pieces of furniture in the Tabernacle: The Ark of the Covenant and the Marcy Seat, as well as the Most Holy Day: the Day of Atonement. Both furnishings are placed behind the Veil in the Most Holy Place, the place where God's Glory dwelled. No one was to enter except the High Priest and only on the Day of Atonement. When Jesus cried "It is finished!" on the cross, something incredible happened in the Temple. Jesus did what the blood of bulls and goats could not do, and because of our Great High Priest and the sacrifice of Himself, we now have not only access, but confidence to draw near to the Presence of God. He doesn't just dwell in our midst; He dwells in us.

In this teaching, Erin Warren discusses the fifth piece of furniture in the Tabernacle: The Altar of Incense. This altar was not for sacrifice, but for another important purpose, both physically and spiritually. Sweet is the aroma of a holy intercession that covers the stench of death. While I love the intercession of Jesus, we cannot overlook that this is the only piece of furniture with a warning against misuse. It is a message to us: how we approach God matters.

In this teaching, Erin Warren discussing the fourth furnishing in the Tabernacle: The Table of Shewbread (or the Bread of the Presence). Like the other furnishings, we see this piece has a practical purpose: it fed the priests. But the spiritual representation takes us much deeper. As we see repeated words of bread, Sabbath, covenant and pull that thread through the whole of Scripture, we find that Christ's broken body for us does more than forgive our sins. Jesus is the Bread of Life and through Him, we are invited into a relationship with our God, one that gives us a Better Bread, a Better Covenant, a Better Communion, a Better Rest.

In this teaching, Erin Warren talks about the third furnishing in the Tabernacle: The Lampstand. Like the other furnishings, it has practical purpose: it lights up the inside of the Holy Place, but it represents so much more. Because of the sacrifice and because they had been made clean, they are permitted to enter the Holy Place. It is an invitation into fellowship with our God. But now, because of the Light of Jesus, we are royal priesthood, children of the light. We no longer walk in darkness because Jesus is the Light of the World.

In this teaching, Erin Warren talks about the second furnishing in the Tabernacle: the Bronze Basin. Blood and water. Both are required to approach God, for Him to dwell in our midst. Blood atones. Water cleanses. The Bronze Basin served a practical purpose: washing off blood of the sacrifice, but it also gives us a spiritual representation: cleansing from the stain of sin. When blood and water flowed from Jesus' side on the cross, we were made clean. But, there is another type of cleaning: sanctification. It's the process of forsaking the things of the world and looking more like Jesus in the way we act, think, and speak. Thankfully, Jesus also gives us a way to take part in this process: The Word of God.

In this teaching, Erin Warren talks about the first furnishing in the Tabernacle: the Bronze Altar. These are hard passages to read, but enduring through the Word brings greater understanding of what we have been saved from. The wages of sin is death and the shedding of blood is what is required to cover sin. But our God made a way: to forgiveness, to thanksgiving, to peace, to relationship with Him dwelling in our midst. Our sin has a great cost, and Jesus, our Great High Priest, paid that debt with the spilling of His own blood on our behalf.

This week further lays the foundation for the study of the Tabernacle focusing on the purpose of this Holy Tent and how the people were able to build such a beautiful sanctuary for God in the middle of the desert. In this passage, it's easy to be wowed by the people: the talents and the gifts that they so generously bring, but in our God-centered study of Scripture, we should ask: What God would elicit this kind of response? Who is this God that they would so generously serve? He is a God of Grace and this earthly tent is a foretaste of the grace that was coming, the One who would be the True Tent who would forever restore the relationship and provide access to relationship for all.

The Shaking - that's what I have called the last couple years. The years have rocked many of us, but the shaking has purpose. As we pursue Jesus, as we run the race with our eyes fixed on Him, we remove the things that hinder us. And nothing tends to bring that out like trials. In Hebrews 12, we find encouragement for how to keep running and why to keep running after Jesus, our Way Maker.

He suffered and intervened on our behalf, making propitiation for our sins and running to our aide when we could not save ourselves.

The Wilderness. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines wilderness as an empty or pathless area or region. The wilderness is uncharted territory. It is the place where we feel lost, not knowing where to go because there is not a path to follow. But, as we will see throughout this study: it was not uncharted territory for the Great I AM, the Creator of the World. He often leads by way of wandering, not the most direct route. He leads in places that feel pathless and empty. Because there are some lessons about God that can be learned in the fertile soil of the wilderness. While the wilderness is often used to describe a hard circumstance in our life, as Christians, it's also a picture of our life on earth: We've been redeemed, saved from slavery to sin and we are bound for the Promised Land, heaven. But in between, we are wandering in a land that is not our home. But God does not leave us here to fend for ourselves, instead, He walks with us, before, and provides for us as we go.

This podcast wraps up the Stories from the Wilderness Bible study. Erin Warren teaches through Joshua 3-5 as the Israelites cross the Jordan River and step into the land God promised to give them. They do so with trust and find God continues to go before them. But none of this was for them. The miracles, the provision, the journey: it was all for God to show them His character. It was so that they would know who their God is. It was so that the whole world, all the peoples, us included, would know who God is. And in the end, we see that the God of the Wilderness is the same God in the Promised Land.

Feasting on Truth: Stories from the Wilderness: A Study of the Israelites' Journey from Egypt to the Promised Land

View Details

The Wilderness. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines wilderness as an empty or pathless area or region. The wilderness is uncharted territory. It is the place where we feel lost, not knowing where to go because there is not a path to follow. But, as we will see throughout this study: it was not uncharted territory for the Great I AM, the Creator of the World. He often leads by way of wandering, not the most direct route. He leads in places that feel pathless and empty. Because there are some lessons about God that can be learned in the fertile soil of the wilderness. While the wilderness is often used to describe a hard circumstance in our life, as Christians, it's also a picture of our life on earth: We've been redeemed, saved from slavery to sin and we are bound for the Promised Land, heaven. But in between, we are wandering in a land that is not our home. But God does not leave us here to fend for ourselves, instead, He walks with us, before, and provides for us as we go.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Joshua 1-2. Moses has died and the Israelites are on the edge of the Promised Land. God calls Joshua up and tells him that the time has come for him to lead the people over the Jordan River and into the land God promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God gives Joshua a charge to be strong and courageous and to remember and obey His Word, but He doesn't expect him (or us) to do this on our own. It's His presence with us that makes it possible for us to live out our faith in obedience. And then we get to see this marriage of faith and obedience lived out practically through the life of a woman named Rahab.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Deuteronomy 31, 32, & 34. Moses and the Israelites have reached the doorstep of the Promised Land. For forty years, they wandered, but now they are preparing to enter the land promised to their forefathers. But because of his sin, Moses will not be the one leading them. In these chapters, Moses is giving his final instructions. He establishes and esteems Joshua as their new leader. He blesses the tribes and gives them a song to remember to turn back to God. But more than anything, he teaches them the importance of knowing and obeying God's Word. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life. And in the end, God graciously takes Moses up the mountain one final time to meet with Him. He shows Moses the land he will not enter and buries him there. There has never been a man like Moses, but there was a great One coming. His name is Jesus and He was counter worthy of more glory than even Moses. Jesus, our true Savior and Intercessor.

The Wilderness. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines wilderness as an empty or pathless area or region. The wilderness is uncharted territory. It is the place where we feel lost, not knowing where to go because there is not a path to follow. But, as we will see throughout this study: it was not uncharted territory for the Great I AM, the Creator of the World. He often leads by way of wandering, not the most direct route. He leads in places that feel pathless and empty. Because there are some lessons about God that can be learned in the fertile soil of the wilderness. While the wilderness is often used to describe a hard circumstance in our life, as Christians, it's also a picture of our life on earth: We've been redeemed, saved from slavery to sin and we are bound for the Promised Land, heaven. But in between, we are wandering in a land that is not our home. But God does not leave us here to fend for ourselves, instead, He walks with us, before, and provides for us as we go.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches Numbers 20-21. Still grumbling over the lack of water, God gives Moses and Aaron specific instructions on how to bring water from a rock at Meribah. Perhaps in frustration, perhaps in a moment of weakness, Moses makes a grave mistake and takes glory for himself instead giving glory to God. And like the generation before who died in the wilderness, Moses and Aaron too will die in the wilderness. Later, the people grumble over the lack of "good" food and God sends fiery serpents. God again provides a way of salvation after their repentance, a bronze serpent lifted up on a pole.

This is about the time I start getting tempted to say "yeah, yeah. They grumble. God punishes. They repent. God relents." Same story. Different Day. But these stories reveal something much greater: hearts that go astray and do not know His Ways. The questions raised this week are one that should pierce our own hearts. Where am I taking glory from God? What does He provide that I call worthless? Am I keeping Him n the proper high and lifted up place in my life?

Both of these stories point us to a perfect Deliverer: the Son who will one day perfectly usher from the wilderness of earth into Heaven... one who will be lifted up and all who look on Him (and choose belief) will find not life for now, but life for eternity.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Numbers 13-14. I wish they were happy chapters with a happy ending and a pretty little bow. But these chapters are sad. Moses sends 12 spies into the Promised Land. When they return, ten give a mixed report: the land is good, but the people are too strong. And on the doorstep of the Promised Land, the people lock eyes on their enemy instead of their God. The consequences are great. This week, begs us to look at our own lives and ask where we are allowing unbelief to cloud our perception of God, His Word, and His unchanging character.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Exodus 33-34 & Numbers 9. After breaking the covenant, the people of Israel mourn the consequences of their sin: God will no longer go with them. But Moses, intercedes on behalf of the people. These passages may be the most important in all Scripture when it comes to God's character because this is where God reveals His Name and His character with His own words and shows His merciful response to our sin. Despite our unfaithfulness, God remains faithful and true, and in His grace, cuts a new covenant with the people of Israel.

AW Tozer said What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. This week beckons us to respond in humility, worship, and confession at the revelation of His Name and His character.

In this podcast, Erin H. Warren teaches through Exodus 19. 20, & 32. As Moses and the people near Mt. Sinai, God tells them He is going to come down. He gives them a command to consecrate themselves and boundaries for their protection. Yahweh comes to make a covenant with His people and gives them ten words that will define their relationship. But the people are afraid and pull back in fear. But Moses, with reverence and a "fear of God", draws near to God up the mountain. While Moses meets with God, the people grow impatient, asking Aaron for a new god, a new mediator. Aaron fashions a golden calf and allows the people to break loose. Moses, upset over the quickly broken covenant, shattered the stone tablets and exacts justice for the sins of the people. The truth is the law was never meant to save us. No one can perfectly uphold the law. Instead it merely reveals our sinfulness. But this marriage ceremony between God and His people was a shadow of the new and better covenant God would make one day, through His Son, Jesus Christ. Because of His interceding on our behalf and His ability to perfectly uphold the law, thus becoming the spotless sacrificial Lamb, we can draw near to God.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Exodus 16-17 (The Manna, Water from the Rock, Defeat of the Amalekites). The miraculous bread from heaven was not only provision to fill their empty stomachs, but a picture that points us to the True Bread that would one day come from Heaven, not for our earthly sustainment, but our eternal satisfaction. This passage also establishes the Sabbath, a day of rest that would set apart His people from world and an act of trust in God's character. As the Israelites come to Rephidim, they are once again thirsty and God meets their need on the Mountain of God despite their testing of Him. As Moses strikes the rock, water flows and reminds the people that their God has not left them. While there, the Amalekites (descendants of Esau) come to fight. Joshua and the Israelites prevail as long as Moses' arms are raised. With the help of Aaron and Hur, his arms remain raised bringing victory to the Israelites. There Moses builds an altar and calls God Yahweh Nissi - the Lord is my Banner, bringing hope, victory and refuge for His people.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches on Exodus 14-15. In Exodus 14, the Israelites experience one of the greatest and most well-known miracles in all of the Bible: the crossing of the Red Sea. While we love to make this a story of miraculous rescue and use it to show how God miraculously can also rescue us from the seemingly "no way out" circumstances, we must continue to remember this is a story about God's character. And His call to us in this story is not to sit and watch but hear and move. We learn that where we look matters, and the result of this miracle leads the people of God toward belief and worship.

But we are most vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy when we are rejoicing in victory. In Exodus 15, we see a song of praise melt into shouts of complaint at Marah. The people are thirsty, but God is after our hearts. He provides not only sweet water, but a place of refreshment and rest. Both stories point us to the only source of our salvation: Jesus. We must continue to lock eyes on our Savior before us and not the circumstances around us.

In this video, Erin Warren teaches on Exodus 12 and 13 (The Passover, the Exodus, the Pillar of Cloud, and the Pillar of Fire). After nine consecutive plagues and nine negative answers from Pharaoh, God gives one final act of judgement in the plague of the death of the firstborn. But, God would provide a way for His people, the people of Israel, to escape the plague. The way because a feast of remembrance: the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. In the wake of tragedy, Pharaoh and the Egyptians force the Israelites out in the middle of the night, with a special provision provided by God. God leads the people not on the short route, but purposely by way of the wilderness. He does not leave them there alone. Through the stories in Exodus 12-13, God miraculously proves His character as He births a nation.

In this video, Erin Warren sets up the Stories from the Wilderness study, including how to use the study book and the study format. She also discusses the important context information to help set the lens through which we will study (who wrote it, what's going on in history at that time, etc) and recaps Genesis 46-50 and Exodus 1-11 to lay the groundwork for our first week of study.

This is often story we see as a list of what not to do. We judge the Israelites harshly for the way they continue to complain and question. But this is not their story. It's the story of God, the Redeemer and Faithful One, and throughout the coming weeks, we will see Him reveal and prove His character over and over and over again. We will see that the God of the Promised Land is the same God in the Wilderness.

The wilderness. It is a place that feels hard, empty, lifeless and pathless, and it often leaves us with questions about who God is. But while we see a place that is worthless, confusing, and chaotic, God sees a place to display His power. Time and time again throughout Scripture, God takes the worthless, seemingly wasteful, confusing, chaotic, and empty places and uses them as a backdrop to prove His character, draw us in, and display His glory.

This 11-week study follows the narrative of the wilderness story through parts of Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and Joshua and focuses on the character of the One who led them there. It designed to help you:

Release the bonds of a “perfect quiet time” to find deeper, richer time in the Word
Build confidence as you learn how to study the Bible first-hand
Discover truths about God and His character
Grow in your faith and knowledge in a way that produces life change

There are some lessons about God that can only be learned in the fertile soil of the wilderness, and we will see that the God of the Promised Land is the same God in the Wilderness.

Psalm 119:153-176 (Resh, Sin & Shin, Taw) continues to builds on previous stanzas. We have seen a growth of passion and depth of maturity develop throughout the Psalm, and it brings us to the final (and somewhat unexpected) end this week. But through it all, the Psalmist continues to show how knowing God’s Word (and knowing it is true and eternal) brings life even when faced with affliction. Knowing God’s Word brings abundant peace, keeps us from stumbling, and results in complete worship. And we can humble ourselves before our Great Shepherd. His Word is Light & Life.

Feasting on Truth: Light & Life: An Inductive Bible Study Journal on Psalm 119

View Details

In Psalm 119:129-152 (Pe, Tsadhe, & Qoph), we see a maturing, a life that is steadily step by step, day by day, following after God. He continues to see God’s Word as guide, a light that gives understanding and exposes our sin. He has a right view of God, and our view of His character shapes our response to His Word. Finally, he prays. But at the end of it, it's about the nearness of God and a life lived in long obedience in the direction of His Word. It builds a firm and secure foundation - one that never changes and remains pure and blameless for all eternity.

In Psalm 119:105-128 (Nun, Samekh, Ayin), we see the Psalmist (most likely David) point again and again to His steadfast pursuit of God’s Word - to know it, to understand it, to seek the One who wrote it. He knows the benefit of a life that does not walk away from the Word. Even when his timeline doesn’t match God’s, it is His reverence and awe and Holy fear that keeps him following God. He holds both grace and truth, forgiveness and justice in his hands as he walks through life. And the result is a life that focuses on the eternal. He loves God’s commands, and that leads to a life that loves truth and a life that hates any other way.

In Psalm 119:81-104 (Kaph, Lamedh, & Mem), the psalmist reaches his most desperate point. The plea for his life, for justice, and for saving mark the middle point of this poem. Yet, he still clings to God’s Word. As we move into the second half, the script flips and we see an incredible picture of Creator God, the One who established this earth and keeps it in motion and holds it together. And if He can hold this world together, He can hold you together in your hardship, trials, and affliction. What a picture of the God who not only walks with us through suffering, but preserves our souls in the midst of it too.

In Psalm 119:57-80 (Heth, Teth, and Yodh), we see a common theme: I’m not enough without God. And He can be trusted, even when we are smeared with lies or walking through affliction. We often ask “Why is this happening?” Or “Why do bad things happen to good people?” But God uses suffering. Suffering leads us to God, and there are some lessons about God we can only learn in the fertile soil of suffering. We get the choice: we can run away from the One who has all we need or we choose to trust Him, lean into Him, and allow Him to teach us the truth of who He is through His Word.

In this week’s study of Psalm 119, we read through He, Waw, and Zayin. We see an incredible prayer that points us to what God can do in our lives when we humbly approach His Word and ask for God to show us more His character. No matter what affliction, trial, hardship, darkness we are facing, He is there: the God of ALL comfort, the God of Truth, the One who steadfastly loves us. Studying through the lens of who God is in Psalm 119 is firmly rooting us in Truth, so that when these trials come, we can be ready to answer the enemy with the truth of who God is.

Our first full week of study was an incredible one. We start with a young man, eager and ready to learn but move toward a man who is desperate for God to reveal Himself while he is in the midst of hard circumstances. This week really challenged me in how I respond to God and the cries of my own heart when faced with trials. God’s Word brings life and so much more, and our gracious God is faithful to answer to the prayer “Show me more of you.”

Psalm 119 tells us that the unfolding of His Word gives light (v. 130) and by it, we have life (v. 93). Light & Life. In this first session, Erin Warren shares the context and background for Psalm 119 and walks through the first stanza (verses 1-8) as an example of how this study works. We often think of the Law of the Old Testament as obsolete, but obedience of His Word matters. Because Jesus perfectly obeyed the Law, as we are becoming more like Jesus, we also move toward obedience.

We did it! We made it through the entire Gospel of John. Chapter 21 is widely considered an epilogue to this book. John has cultivated these stories to lead us to belief. But what now? What do we do once we know Jesus is Messiah and Son of God? We can often over interpret this passage, but the call Jesus gives us here is really quite simple.

HE IS RISEN! In chapter 20, John brings to the pinnacle of the story: death did not win. The grave is defeated and we no longer fear. Jesus is alive! And with this seventh and final sign, He forever proves that He is who He says He is. He is the Christ, the Son of God and believing in Him brings life. As word spreads of the empty tomb, doubts and confusion rise. But Jesus tenderly and deliberately meets with His disciples and leads them back to Himself. And John concludes this passage with his purpose for writing it all down: so you will believe. He leads us again to that point where we must decide for ourselves.

John 19 is one I wish somedays I could skip. I want to jump right to the Resurrection and the light and the joy of that Sunday morning. It’s hard right from verse one to read in detail what our Jesus suffered. But as Matthew Henry says, "It is good for every one with faith, to behold Christ Jesus in his sufferings. Behold him, and love him; be still looking unto Jesus.” As Jesus hangs on that cross, He does something we could never do for ourselves. And through His death, it is finished. His death paid a debt that we could cover and purchased for us a freedom more than just forgiveness of sins or heaven. He became the Way Maker.

This chapter, like Chapter 18, held so many little details I had never seen before. It’s what I love about this format of Bible study. The slow reading of Scripture allows it to marinate in our hearts and minds.

This week we are in John 18 and as we move not only toward the cross in Scripture, we are moving toward Easter on the calendar. I love this holiday and it’s a good time to reflect and remember what Jesus’ sacrifice accomplished. Studying John has forever marked my faith in Him and that’s John’s intent: that you would believe Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God and that you would have life in His name. I felt like I was reading this passage for the first time - there were so many details in this passage I never noticed before (including a little dig at Peter) and I know I’ve read these passages over and over. That’s what I love about studying Scripture this way and slowly studying. There is so much irony in this passage today, and we see again John lead to the decision point: will we believe? Or will we choose our own way?

In John 17, Jesus prays not only over His disciples, but over all who would come to faith in Jesus Christ. That's us! This prayer gives us an incredible picture of Jesus and what He does for us.

This passage is a favorite among Christians: Jesus' call for us to abide. As Jesus walks closer to the cross, He continues His charge to His disciples, but not without reminding them again the only way to love and do as He did is to remain connected to the True Vine. Abiding is not another activity or "to do;" it's an invitation.

If I could use one word to describe John 14 it would "radical." As Jesus continues preparing and encouraging His disciples at the Last Supper, He takes their religion and flips it on its head, not only changing the way they relate to God, but also promising them His presence in a way "common men" had never experienced before. It's radical love.

In John 13, we move into what is often called "The Last Supper". John dedicates five chapters to this night as Jesus gives His final encouragement and instruction to the eleven disciples. And He starts with love: first He models it, then He calls them to do it. But the secret to being able to love one another may not be what you think.

Chapter 12 of the Gospel of John is a full one! With fifty verses and several stories, it can seem overwhelming. But as Jesus approaches "the hour" and if we keep John's intent for writing this book in mind, we will see a thread leading us not only to the cross, but pointing us to belief in Jesus as King, Messiah, and Son of God. This chapter also causes us to ask some hard questions of ourselves as we reflect on what it means to follow Him.

While Martha gets a bad rap, here John points to her solid faith, and Jesus speaks His fifth I AM Statement to this grieving sister: I AM the Resurrection and the Life. Jesus knows going to Bethany will ultimately lead to His death, but He goes willingly to lay down His life for His friend (as He said He would in John 10). The result of this miracle brings great glory to God but also sets in motion a string of events that will eventually lead to Jesus’ death.

We did it! Congratulations on finishing Way Maker and our study through the book of Hebrews. This final chapter can feel overwhelming, but this common way to end a letter isn’t a checklist for us to take inventory of our life, at least we shouldn’t start there. Also, stay tuned to the end to find out what’s next for Feasting on Truth!

Way Maker: An Advent Study Through the Book of Hebrews

The Shaking - that's what I have called 2020. It's a year that has rocked many of us, but the shaking has purpose. As we pursue Jesus, as we run the race with our eyes fixed on Him, we remove the things that hinder us. And nothing tends to bring that out like trials. In Hebrews 12, we find encouragement for how to keep running and why to keep running after Jesus, our Way Maker.

Today we are in Hebrews 11 or as some call it “The Hall of Faith”. We often study this passage in isolation and can sometimes misunderstand what God wants from us when we do. But when we study this passage in the context with the rest of Hebrews, it brings new insight into what it means to hold fast to faith.

Hebrews 10 is at the heart of Feasting of Truth. It’s why I love gathering women around the Word. Jesus is better and when we encourage one another and meet together with Jesus at the center, we are better able to hold fast to the hope we have in HIm.

Jesus is the more and better sacrifice. He is the more and better Tabernacle. For us in 2020, these phrases may not mean much, but to the Jewish readers of this letter, it was a powerful reminder of the finality of Jesus' sacrifice that secured eternal redemption once for all. This podcast is a companion teaching to Way Maker: An Advent Study Through the Book of Hebrews, and today, Erin gives a little more context information on the Tabernacle that brings light to the verses in Hebrews 9.

Hebrews 8 moves us into a new section of this powerful book. He is the promised more and better Tabernacle, the new and better covenant. The old is merely a shadow pointing us to the true tent in Jesus Christ.

In Hebrews 7, the author continues to encourage us: Jesus is better. The promise He makes, what He did on the cross, it is better. But even more so, we get this amazing picture of what it means that Jesus intercedes for us. It's so much more than prayer.
