Sam and Will discuss the miracle of the virgin birth! Why have all of the great church fathers and confessions of past centuries viewed this doctrine as SO essential? Why does your salvation depend on it? How should you answer skeptics who claim that a virgin birth is an absurd impossibility or simply a copy of other ancient legends? Join us today for the answers to those questions.

Sam and Will launch a new series on the miracles of Jesus. In this first episode, they discuss the purpose and meaning behind the miracles.

Sam and Will discuss the Shema found in Deuteronomy 6 -- the source of the Lord's "greatest commandment." They outline the entire book of Deuteronomy as a legal commentary on the Ten Commandments. As Moses presents the younger generation with an appeal to love God and His Law, the people will be forced to choose life or death. In Christ, the same choice is presented to us.

Sam and Will discuss several of the major stories of Moses and the Israelites in the wilderness. Plagued by incessant grumbling, the Lord chastens the Israelites, and Moses eventually rebels against the Lord. What can we learn from these stories? Join us for today's episode walking through the major stories of Numbers and Deuteronomy.

Sam and Will discuss the aftermath of the golden calf incident. After the Israelites reject God's offer to take the Promised Land without HIm, Moses pleads with God to show His glory. The Lord then hides Moses in the cleft of a rock and shows His back. How does this turn our minds toward Christ and the glory that is to be revealed to us (and in us) through His gospel? Join us to find out.

Sam and Will discuss the Israelites' idolatrous construction of the golden calf. Far more scandalous than the sanitized Sunday school versions of this story, the Israelites grievously offended and betrayed the Lord. In all likelihood, they were recreating the despicable worship practices of the Egyptians and attributing these drunken perversions to Yahweh's character. How will God and Moses respond?

Sam and Will discuss the three types of Old Testament Laws: (1) the moral law, (2) the civil law, and (3) the ceremonial law. How does the gospel of Jesus change our relationship to these laws? Are we still expected to follow the moral law? Are we rebelling by failing to continue the temple sacrifices? Should we still be imposing the criminal code & punishments of the Old Testament? Join us to find the answers.

Sam and Will discuss the amazing sovereignty behind the design of the tabernacle. Built nearly fifteen centuries prior to the birth of Jesus, the design of the tabernacle serves as an architectural roadmap for the Gospel of John. From the bronze altar to the Ark of the Covenant, the life of Jesus serves to construct a FAR GREATER tabernacle and temple.

Sam and Will walk through a fascinating discussion on why God chose each of the elements of the tabernacle. Each piece of furniture was designed to point our hearts and minds toward God and His gracious provision. When used as a guide for our personal devotional time, the pathway through the tabernacle will lead us into the renewing presence of God.

Sam and Will discuss the Ark of the Covenant. This is the most holy piece of furniture placed inside the Tabernacle of God. Why would God ordain this peculiar design and its bizarre list of contents? As we will discover, the Ark of the Covenant was meant to foreshadow the empty tomb of Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection to bring our triumph over death. Join us to learn more.
