Mission Hills Bible Study Podcast

What actually happened during Passion Week—and why does it matter for your life today?

In this special episode, we step back and walk through the final week of Jesus’ life—from His triumphal entry to the resurrection—by looking at all four Gospels together. Each writer highlights something different, and when you see it all side by side, a fuller picture of Jesus comes into focus.

You’ll discover:

--

● A simple, day-by-day breakdown of Passion Week

● Why each Gospel tells the story a little differently

● What Jesus was doing (and feeling) in His final days

● How this week reveals who Jesus really is—King, Savior, and Lord

Whether you’ve read this story before or it’s new to you, this episode will help you see Jesus more clearly and understand the weight—and beauty—of what He did for you.

No matter how messy life feels, this story reminds us: through Christ, you can be made new.

👉🏻 Take a moment this week to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the story that changed everything.

=============================

Reflection Questions:

=============================

✅ Which moment from Passion Week stood out to you most—and why do you think it mattered to you personally?

✅ Where do you see yourself in this story right now—celebrating, questioning, grieving, or waiting?

✅ What does Jesus’ willingness to walk through suffering say about His love for you?

✅ How does seeing all four Gospels together change your understanding of who Jesus is?

✅ Is there an area of your life where God feels “silent”? What would it look like to trust Him in that space this week?

What do you do when everything you believed changes suddenly? In this final chapter of Luke, we see confusion turn into clarity, fear turn into joy, and followers of Jesus wrestle with one big question: Now what?

From the empty tomb to the road to Emmaus to the ascension, Luke 24 shows us something deeply human—we don’t always understand right away. But Jesus meets us in the process. He opens minds. He walks with us. And through the Holy Spirit, He gives us the power to live differently.

If you’ve ever struggled to understand God, felt stuck in performance, or wondered what your faith actually looks like in real life… this conversation is for you.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

▪ Why the resurrection changes everything

▪ What it means to move from confusion to understanding

▪ The role of the Holy Spirit in your everyday life

▪ How to live out your faith without performance or pressure

You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just take the next step.

=============================

Reflection Questions:

=============================

✅ Where in your life do you feel like the disciples—confused, uncertain, or asking “now what?”

✅ Is your relationship with God feeling more like performance… or connection? Why?

✅ How have you experienced moments where Scripture went from something you knew to something you understood?

✅ What might it look like for you to rely more on the Holy Spirit this week instead of your own effort?

✅ If Jesus asked you today, “What are you doing with me?”—how would you answer?

What really happened at the cross—and what does it mean for you today?

In this powerful episode, we walk through Luke 23, the moment where Jesus stands trial, is rejected by the crowd, and ultimately gives His life on the cross. But this isn’t just history—it’s deeply personal.

We explore:

▪️Why Jesus chose not to defend Himself

▪️The difference between fascination with Jesus and true surrender

▪️How two criminals had the same moment… but made different choices

▪️What it means that Jesus was declared innocent again and again

▪️Why the cross exposes not just His love—but our brokenness

This conversation is honest, reflective, and rooted in Scripture. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re just exploring faith, this episode will challenge you to ask:

👉 What will you do with Jesus?

=============================

Reflection Questions:

=============================

✅ Where in your life are you tempted to “save yourself” instead of trusting God’s plan?

✅ Which response do you relate to more right now—the mocking criminal or the one who believed? Why?

✅ What does it mean to you that Jesus was declared innocent… yet still chose the cross?

✅ Is there a place in your life where God is inviting you to surrender, not control?

✅ How does sitting with the reality of the cross (not rushing to the resurrection) change your perspective this week?

What do you do when your faith feels heavy… or even confusing? In this episode of the Mission Hills Bible Study Podcast, we walk through one of the most intense and emotional moments in the book of Luke—Jesus’ trial, Peter’s denial, and the beginning of the crucifixion story.

This isn’t an easy passage. It’s raw. It’s honest. And it forces us to wrestle with real questions about pain, fear, doubt, and what it means to trust God when things don’t make sense.

Together, we explore:

● Why Jesus allowed darkness to have a moment

● What Peter’s failure teaches us about grace

● How our motives shape our faith more than we realize

● What it looks like to stay close to God in hard seasons

If you’ve ever struggled with doubt, fear, or feeling overwhelmed—this conversation is for you.

👉 Take a moment. Slow down. And discover how even in the darkest moments, God is still at work.

=============================

Reflection Questions:

=============================

✅ When you think about this part of Jesus’ story, what emotions come up for you—and why?

✅ Where in your life do you feel like “darkness is having a moment” right now?

✅ Peter stayed close… but still failed. What does that teach you about grace?

✅ Are there areas in your life where fear is louder than trust? What would it look like to bring that to God honestly?

✅ What’s one small step you can take this week to stay close to Jesus—even if it feels hard?

In Luke 21, Jesus says something that must have shocked His disciples: the temple they admired would one day fall. Why would Jesus bring this up during His final week before the cross?

In this episode, we explore how Jesus prepares His followers for uncertain times—and how His words still speak to us today. From anxiety and people-pleasing to fear about the future, we talk about the things we tend to anchor ourselves to instead of God.

You’ll hear practical insights about:

• Trusting God when life feels unstable,

• Preparing your heart before "crisis" hits,

• Staying rooted in faith when the world feels chaotic.

Life may feel messy, but Jesus invites us into a deeper freedom—one where we don’t have to carry the weight of the world on our own.

=============================

Reflection Questions:

=============================

✅ What do you tend to rely on for security when life feels uncertain? Is it something temporary, or something eternal?

✅ Which of the burdens mentioned in the conversation—control, anxiety, approval, or security—do you struggle with most?

✅ How might practicing spiritual habits now (prayer, Scripture, community) prepare your heart for difficult seasons later?

✅ Jesus says not to be weighed down by the anxieties of life. What is currently weighing on your heart?

✅ What would it look like this week to lift your eyes toward Jesus instead of focusing only on the chaos around you?

In Luke 20, religious leaders try to trap Jesus with a simple question: “By what authority are you doing these things?” But Jesus turns the conversation around—and suddenly the real issue is exposed.

In this episode, the team explores how pride, fear of people, and spiritual assumptions can keep us from recognizing the truth right in front of us. They also wrestle with one of Jesus’ most powerful images: the cornerstone we either build our lives on… or stumble over.

If you’ve ever struggled with faith, authority, or what it really means to follow Jesus, this conversation invites you to slow down, open Scripture, and discover Jesus again.

=============================

Reflection Questions:

=============================

✅ What expectations do I have about how God should work in my life? Could those expectations keep me from recognizing what He’s actually doing?

✅ Where in my life might Jesus be inviting me into a deeper kind of peace—not just comfort?

✅ When Jesus cleared the temple, He was restoring what had been corrupted. Are there areas of my life where God may be asking to do that same restoring work?

✅ What helps me recognize God’s presence in everyday moments?

✅ If I truly believed Jesus is the King He claims to be, what would I surrender to Him this week?

What happens when Jesus shows up—but not the way we expected? In Luke 19, Jesus finally arrives in Jerusalem. The crowds celebrate Him as king, shouting praise and welcoming Him with excitement. But Jesus knows something they don’t: many of these same voices will soon turn against Him.

In this episode, we explore the tension of this moment. Why did Jesus ride into the city on a donkey? Why does He weep over Jerusalem? And why does the Prince of Peace walk into the temple and start flipping tables?

Along the way, we talk honestly about how we often approach God with our own expectations—and what it looks like to recognize Jesus for who He truly is.

Wherever you’re at in life or faith, you’re welcome here. Let’s open God’s Word together and discover what He might be teaching us today.

The story of Jesus is familiar to many of us—but what if we slowed down and looked again? In this first episode of our new Bible study season, we begin a journey through the final chapters of the Gospel of Luke, leading all the way through the passion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus.

Before we dive into the story itself, we take time to explore the big picture: Why Luke wrote his Gospel, what makes Luke’s account unique, the surprising themes woven throughout the book, and the question Luke quietly asks every reader: What will you do with Jesus?

Along the way, we talk about:

• The upside-down Kingdom of God,

• Why Jesus consistently moved toward the marginalized,

• How Luke highlights the reactions people had when they encountered Christ,

• And why even familiar stories like Easter can still transform us.

If life feels busy and you don’t have time for a full Bible study, this podcast was created for you. Come listen, reflect, and discover Jesus in His Word—one episode at a time.

📖 Next Week’s Passage: Luke 19:28–48

✅ Luke repeatedly shows people responding to Jesus. What kind of response do you see in your own life right now?

✅ Jesus often moved toward people others overlooked. Who might God be inviting you to notice this week?

✅ Where might God be turning your expectations upside down—just like He did for people in Luke’s Gospel?

✅ What would it look like for you to slow down and truly sit with the story of Jesus this week?

What does it mean to live as faithful citizens of God's kingdom when the world doesn't play by the rules? In this episode of the Bible Study Podcast, Matt, Kristy, and Micah draw upon Luke 17:11-18:8 to uncover what Jesus teaches about gratitude, justice, and faith that endures.

They unpack why the grateful Samaritan points us toward true worship, what it means that God’s kingdom is already “in our midst,” and how to keep trusting when life feels unfair or exhausting. This conversation will challenge and encourage you to see your everyday moments (your work, your waiting, your persistence) as part of the unshakable Kingdom of God in the messiness of life.

In Luke 16:1–17:10, Jesus teaches that money should be used wisely for eternal purposes, not selfish gain. The parables urge generosity, warn against greed, and highlight the consequences of ignoring others in need. He then calls His followers to avoid causing sin, forgive repeatedly, have faith, and serve with humility—emphasizing that true discipleship is marked by wise stewardship and humble obedience.

In Luke 12:49-14:24, Jesus speaks about the need for his message to be a "fire" that will cause division and challenges the idea of easy peace, emphasizing the importance of readiness and humility in serving God, and warns against prioritizing worldly honor over God's kingdom.

Jesus shows his authority over Satan and engages in conflict about the power of God with the Pharisees. Jesus calls out the Pharisees by reminding them of the wicked generation in the wilderness. This whole passage is undergirded by the Exodus and wilderness narratives in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. We cover demonology, how we deal with evil spirits, and we even got a surprise visit from Craig! The clear application of this passage is that what matters is what/who resides inside of you. Are you a representative of Jesus and his power, or are you displaying something outwardly that is not true of you on the inside.

"Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem." This is the beginning of the Travel Narrative of Luke. Jesus is set against the backdrop of Elijah's prophetic ministry. Micah and Matt argue about how well John the Baptist understood the nature of Jesus' ministry. Watch James and John - the "Sons of Thunder" - get rebuked by Jesus for their violent reaction. And join the 72 disciples as they begin to shoulder the ministry of the gospel. Listen as Kristy quotes a commentary and sets the room on fire.

Welcome back to the Mission Hills Bible Study Podcast! For our 11th season we are studying the "Travel Narrative" of Luke. That's Luke 9:51-19:44. It's such a cool, contained section that is unique to Luke. In Luke 9:51, Jesus "sets his face toward Jerusalem," and for the next 10 chapters, he travels toward the cross, under the shadow of his looming crucifixion. We talk though the structure of Luke-Acts: a geographical chiasm. Some big themes of Luke are the dichotomy of feasts, the danger of money, the upside down kingdom and great reversal, Jesus as savior/salvation, and caring for the outcasts and marginalized of society. Interesting things to pay attention to in Luke 1:1-9:50, include John the Baptist introducing Jesus's ministry, the Song of Mary, and Jesus' divine revelation by Peter and the Transfiguration.

What is the object of your hope? We jump in with both feet to 2 Thessalonians 1! After a small discussion about authorship, we consider Paul's continuing themes of faith, hope, and love. He reinforces the idea that God is just, which is a comfort to the Thessalonians in the midst of escalating persecution. Paul encourages them by thanking God for their faithfulness and exhorts them to continue doing good deeds in the confidence of their salvation.

Today we're covering a lot of ground in our study of Ecclesiastes 4:1-5:7! In Chapter 4 we'll discuss the Teacher's observations on "life under the sun" in a variety of areas: oppression, toil, relationships (or lack thereof), and advancement. And in the first part of Chapter 5, we look at the importance of our words before a holy God.

Today's passage is a good one to read in a few different Bible translations, so take a minute and read through the NIV and ESV, then join us for the discussion!

Today's passage begins with the most well-known section of Ecclesiastes, the poem "A Time for Everything." We'll examine the poem and all the author is inviting us to consider through his reflections on life under the sun. In the second part of today's passage, we contrast the "hevel" we see in our own lives, with the eternal nature of God and his work. Grab your Bible and join us for Ecclesiastes Chapter 3.

In Chapter 2, we follow the Teacher's quest for meaning as he experiments with pleasure, wisdom, and work. "What is good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives?" (Ecc. 2:3) With far more resources at his disposal than most of us will ever have, we can learn a lot from his pursuits - and their ultimate conclusion. We wrap up today's episode by noticing the areas of our own lives where we most feel "hevel."

We're kicking off Season 6 and our study through Ecclesiastes! In today's episode, we set the stage for our study of this wisdom book by first looking at some background information: authorship, time period, audience, key themes, and more. Then we jump into Chapter 1 and the beginning of the Teacher's quest to find satisfaction in life, starting with his observations on the meaninglessness (vapor, hevel) of life we see in nature and the pursuit of wisdom.

In this episode, we discuss the ending of 3rd John and reflect on this past season of the Mission Hills Bible Study Podcast. We’ve spent 2 episodes on each of the 5 shortest books of the Bible. Our prayer is that you’ve seen that Scripture is so deep and rich that you could spend your whole life studying it, living it out, and never get to the bottom of it. We hope you’ve enjoyed this deep dive into Scripture and that you’ve learned a few new ways to study it yourself. Now…go become more like Jesus and join him on mission!

Third John holds a unique place in the bible for a few reasons. First, it’s the shortest book of the Bible. Second, it’s a unique book in the New Testament because it is a personal letter that reflects ancient letters more than other books in the New Testament. John continues to focus on the intersection of truth and love, but now in the form of hospitality and ministry support. How do we apply John’s words today? Should we never accept help from an unbeliever, or does that application change today in a different time and culture? Our How to Read the Bible segment today is “Why Every Word in Scripture is Important.”

Last time, we went verse by verse through 2 John. So this time we are swinging the pendulum the other way and flying by the seat of our pants. We focus on what stood out to us from John’s letter and how to apply it to our lives. We get kind of emotional talking about God’s love for people and seeing them in the light of being worthy of love because they are made in God’s image. But that doesn’t mean we just way yes to everything. I can love someone and tell them “no” because that is what is best for them. John highlights the healthy tension between love and truth. Lastly, Kristy and Kelly join us for a conversation about reading the Bible with both your head and your heart; both logic and emotion.

We throw a curveball, but hopefully a helpful one. We are going verse by verse and show you how to make observations and ask questions about a text. We spend a lot less time than usual drawing conclusions and explaining the text because we want to show you how we do this. It’s a pretty unpolished episode. Grab a bible, read through 2 John yourself, and then join us as we learn from this New Testament letter.

Take some time to read Philemon and then join us for our round one studying this book. We grapple with cultural differences, the idea of unity and perfect wording in the midst of hard and messy situations, and give a thorough background all while we are just a little tired. Paul pushes us to look at what the next steps of unity, love, and community look like in our own lives. Also, listen in to learn how interlinear bibles, Google, and some other resources will bring your word studies to life!

Wow! This episode is jam-packed with fun themes, application, and interpretation! We explain the “Day of the Lord,” the importance of literary genre in interpreting the Bible, how Hebrew verbs work, pride as the source of disobedience. A few other things that get time in this episode: The Tower of Babel, the principle of “an eye for an eye,” and the Singapore Airport, mountains, and possessions.

We give an example of how to evaluate two differing interpretations of a passage of Scripture. There are so many little nuggets about interpretation in this episode: Hebrew verbs, evaluating different interpretations, literary genres, key themes, keywords, and prescriptive vs descriptive application. If you are looking for practical insights about reading and understanding the Bible, this is for you!

We’re diving into the book of Jude! In this episode, we focus on the way Jude uses a lot of Old Testament and other literature in his letter. What is he doing? Why is he using so many other sources? Jude even quotes from a book called 1st Enoch, which is not in the Old Testament. What do we do with that? Jude is writing against false teachers, warning the church to watch out for people distorting the truth to justify their own disobedience. See the end of the episode for our segment “How to Study the Bible.”

Meet Micah Harrison and Matt Winter, hosts of this semester of the Mission Hills Bible study podcast. We’re talking about WHAT and WHY we are studying this semester. As church staff, we get lots of questions about HOW to study the bible, so that is our focus this semester. It’s a different format than we’ve done before (we’ll be back to the usual format with Kristy and Kelly next semester).

Join us this season as we dive deep into the five shortest books of the Bible: Jude, Obadiah, Philemon, 2 John, 3 John. We are going to spend two episodes on each of these short books. Kelly and Kristy will be alternating joining the conversation each episode. Each episode will focus on a different tip or strategy for studying and interpreting the Bible. We’ll start with the longest book on this list (Jude at 461 words) and work our way down to the shortest (3 John at 219 words) so we can show you how rich your study of God’s word can be when you dive deep into a short book!

We are gearing up for Season 4 and we have some exciting changes we are announcing! We are combining the Mission Hills Men’s and Women’s Bible Study Podcasts into one channel! If you are already subscribed to this channel, then you are in the right place! New episodes will continue to be released here.

For the fall season of 2021, Matt Winter and Micah Harrison will be leading you through some smaller books of the Bible (Jude, 2nd and 3rd John, Philemon, and Obadiah). We are thrilled to be able to serve both audiences by letting you hear from more voices and perspectives. Matt and Micah’s episodes will start dropping in early October. Kelly Brown and Kristy Allen will be back in early 2022 going through Jen Wilkin’s God of Creation with you. In addition to the studies, we will have a new segment at the end of each podcast where a combination of us will be discussing ways to deepen your own study of the bible. As always you can find updates in our Facebook Group or on our Webpage. See you in October!

We are in the final chapters of Hebrews where the author is calling these Hebrew Christians to faith and endurance by building on the great cloud of witnesses from Hebrews 11 and reminding them of their God who was faithful to them. In chapter 12, we see the push towards endurance in daily living until the Lord ushers in his completed kingdom someday. In chapter 13, we wrap up with concluding exhortations and remarks for this audience and we hone in on how they apply to us today.

SHOW NOTES

View Details

In Chapter 11, we look at the famous “Hall of Faith” in all of its gritty glory. We see models of faithful yet imperfect men and women taking their next right steps of faith often in trying circumstances; all without seeing the end result and only being able to trust the promise given to them. As New Covenant believers, we get to see the resolution to their faith - we see what was promised - our resurrected Christ. And we get to partake in the better, more complete relationship with Christ. We all as a community (past, present & future) look forward together when we all are made perfect and when creation will be set right when the Lord returns again for the final time. SHOW NOTES

View Details

In chapter 10, the author repeats the importance of Christ’s once for all sacrifice and what that should elicit from us: faith, hope, love, and obedience.

SHOW NOTES

View Details

In chapter 9 we see that our great High Priest has offered himself as our better sacrifice which ushers us into the better Tabernacle (Heaven). We have direct access to the throne of God through Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice.

SHOW NOTES

View Details

In Week 6 we look at how the Old Testament figure of Melchizedek foreshadows Christ’s fulfillment as our King of Righteousness and Peace. We see that both Melchizedek and Christ are from a different priestly order than the Levitical order and that they are both Kings. With this new order, the author of Hebrews makes the argument that a new covenant was then needed through the fulfillment of Christ which nullifies the old law. Christ as our priest-king reigns forever in the better tent (heaven) and offers us a better covenant of hope based on better promises. So, therefore, it’s a continuation of the author’s argument to the original audience to stand firm because they have the better thing.

SHOW NOTES

View Details

In Week 5, we pick up in the middle of the warning to grow in maturity. The author urges the Hebrews to be carried forward by God to maturity, to bear fruit, and to live out their better salvation because it is Jesus who guarantees the new better oath and covenant rendering the old one obsolete. He ends the passage by reminding them that the way through trouble is not by backtracking but through anchoring more fully in the promise of salvation through Christ.

SHOW NOTES

View Details

In Week 4, we continue our rhythm of “Jesus is better” followed by a warning. This week, we examine Jesus as our better High Priest, seated at the right hand of God on high and able to sympathize with our human weakness. We set the stage for our next warning at the end of Chapter 5 - a warning against falling away from the faith - with a contrast between the mature and immature Christian.

SHOW NOTES

View Details

In this episode, we consider Jesus as better than Moses. Moses was Israel’s deliverer, but he still struggled with disbelief and disobedience in his humanity, to the point that he wasn’t able to enter into the rest of the promised land. But Christ is our better deliverer with his perfect sacrifice and his better rest. We can enter that rest with our obedience to Christ through our belief and our submission to scripture which reveals our sin and weakness so that we can draw near to the throne of grace to receive help for those areas.

SHOW NOTES

View Details

In this episode, we see that Jesus has been appointed by God and that makes him superior to the angels. We are warned that we should not drift from the gospel even when times get rough. We must stay close to our Savior because he made the way of defeating death, being our perfect sacrifice, and experiencing humanity so that he can empathize as our high priest.

SHOW NOTES

In this episode, we set the stage for the book of Hebrews by looking at the background and context in which it was written. Some of the central themes found in Hebrews include the superiority of Christ and how this builds the foundation for confidence and steadfastness in our faith journey.

In this episode, we introduce our Season 3 study! We will be going through Better: A Study of Hebrews by Jen Wilkin where we will discover why Jesus is better than anything and how this belief can ground our confidence and hope in him and the way in which we live in this world. New episodes will drop every other week starting September 9th, 2020!

In our final study session week, we talk about how the Sabbat helps us to see God more clearly and how refocusing our attention on God keeps us from marginalizing God. In Genesis, we see that Sabbath is a statement about God’s sovereignty that has been set since the first 7 days of creation. As we seek to practice a grace-filled Sabbath it will foster worship, intimacy with our Savior & wholeness.

Big Idea: Recall what God has accomplished on your behalf.

Scripture: Exodus 9:13, 16 & Isaiah 58:13-14

In Ex. 16 we see the Israelites experience the abundance of God in the double-portion miracle which allowed them to truly rest in his provision each week. This week we unpack how seeing God’s abundance in our lives and trusting in it moves us from a place of scarcity to a place of generosity.

Big Idea: Remember what you used to be.

Scripture: Exodus 16:4-5, 17-26

Today we look at the Sabbath principle: resist the urge to continue. To experience Sabbath margin we have to stop something, to rest from something. Sabbath is about surrender, prioritizing God’s command to rest over our own agenda. And as we rest, we reap the benefits of increased intimacy with God and the resulting joy.

Big Idea: Resist the urge to continue.

Scripture: Exodus 20: 8-11, Deuteronomy 5: 12-15

In this episode, we covered Week 1 in Priscilla Shirer’s Breathe study. We start with a look at the introduction of rest at creation and how the Sabbath principle can move us from a slavery mindset to a freedom mindset.

We are so excited to announce that for Season 2 we will be discussing Priscilla Shirer’s book “Breathe: Making Room For The Sabbath.” In this episode, we share how the Lord brought us to this study and why it is timely for both of us. This is a 5-week study, which looks at the concept of Sabbath and how to build God-margin into our lives. Join us, as we learn to practice freedom from the tyranny of busyness that can enslave us and enter into Sabbath habits that are meant to free and bless us.
