Grant Mooney: Recent Episodes

Grant Mooney

This Podcast is focused on faithfully teaching the Bible with the biblical text itself being the final authority for truth, theology, and practice. I hope to always faithfully teach with a balanced and informed perspective and while I will have my own opinions and beliefs, I want to give plenty of room for the faithful teaching of other strands of faithful Christians that might disagree. I really want to equip people with a faith that has deep roots and a strong foundation to be able to live with love and wisdom.

Just for clarity's sake, The disciples as I stated around 18:00 did NOT know who the betrayer was... But I need to make a quick clarification that according to the gospel of John, The Beloved Disciple (John) was urged by Peter to ask Jesus who it was and Jesus actually told him. However, we do not have any account of John sharing this insider information with anyone.

English: This is a pencil illustration by Spencer Alexander McDaniel that was started on 26 April 2020 and completed on 7 May 2020. It depicts the scene from the Gospel of Mark 5:1-20 in which Jesus exorcizes many demons from a man at a location described as "the country of the Gerasenes." In making this illustration, the artist drew some very loose inspiration from an early sixth-century AD mosaic in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna, Italy. The artist based his portrayal of Jesus's appearance on his own analysis of the historical sources, which is presented in this article he published in March 2020. The appearance of the demon-possessed man in this illustration is based on how he is described in the Gospel of Mark. The patterns around the borders of the illustration are based on patterns from Byzantine art. The demons in this illustration are meant to be symbolic rather than realistic and are meant to appear bizarre and otherworldly.

Paul's in depth treatment of widow care/widow financial support is found in 1st Timothy 5 verse 1-16. In this video we will unpack in the meticulous commands given as to sift through those who shouldn't be receiving financial support vs. those who qualify by meeting those given biblical qualifications. I hope this is helpful for those in church life as they make MANY types of decisions regarding the finances of the church and as a church-goer I hope this matters to you because you don't want your hard earned money to be squandered on selfish living but rather for the loving of neighbor.
