Golden Calves - Jeremy Duncan

Exodus 32***There are claims that Exodus is the essential book in the Bible. It's where we meet God by name, learn to trust a God who hears the cries of the oppressed, and experience awe for a God who guides wanderers.We can relate to Exodus. We wonder about who God is, we wonder about who God helps, and we know the feeling of waiting and wandering.It's a universal experience not to know the way forward but to press on anyway. Two steps ahead, one step back. Up a ladder, down a snake.Jesus' life follows in Moses' footsteps, making Exodus important for Christians. It's the story of liberation, and the way it defines freedom isn't something you can scribble on a sign.Exodus freedom is learned on a long walk with others newly set free alongside you, figuring out life and divinity as you march toward the promise of home. ★ Support this podcast ★

First Century Sex - Jeremy Duncan

1 Cor 5-7***Some people – maybe you’re one of them – turn to pastors to make good choices. They want to know if what they think is acceptable to God, if what they do is pleasing to God, and if what they consider is in the will of God.There’s something blessed about want- ing affirmation from someone you trust. But what if your pastors don’t have the perfect answer and can’t give you the ideal guidance? Are there other waysto make good choices? Of course, there are. Wisdom is boundless like that.In the early church, apostles and leaders wrote to communities to help them make good choices. On the one hand, their words can feel overbearing and re- strictive, but on the other hand, they can feel a lot like love. Love that cares about where you get your information. Love that instructs you to steer clear of legal trouble – the courts aren’t made for your soft soul. Love that concerns itself with the food you eat and where it comes from. Love that inquires about who you’re sleeping with and if that heals or harms you. Again and again, when we turn to letters like 1 Corinthians, we walk away with advice that still speaks across centuries to help us make good choices. ★ Support this podcast ★
