   Episode 110 - Kingdom Context - Corban

   Episode Summary In this Kingdom Context episode, we unpack the meaning of “Corban” and why Jesus uses it as a powerful critique of religious systems. What appears to be devotion, like dedicating something to God, can become a loophole that allows people to avoid clear moral responsibility. Jesus exposes how tradition, when misused, can override God’s commands and create a version of faith that looks right on the outside but is misaligned at the core. Takeaways Corban means “dedicated to God,” but was often misused in practice It allowed people to avoid supporting their parents while maintaining a religious appearance Jesus challenges the elevation of human tradition over God’s commands Religion can become a loophole when it replaces real obedience True faith is not about appearances—it’s about alignment between heart, intent, and action Recommended Reading & Sources Matthew 15:1–20; Mark 7:9–13 (NIV, NRSV, ESV, CSB) Jewish Annotated New Testament CSB Study Bible Matthew for Everyone The New Testament and the People of God The Gospel of Matthew (New International Commentary on the New Testament) Matthew 8–20 (International Critical Commentary) Mark 1–8 (Anchor Yale Bible) The Gospel According to Matthew (Pillar New Testament Commentary) Jesus and Judaism About the Podcast Gospel at a Glance walks through the gospels one short passage at a time, finding depth, challenge, and comfort in just a few verses.

   Episode 109 - Matthew 15:1-9 - When Tradition Replaces Truth

   Scripture: Matthew 15:1–9 (NIV) Episode Summary In this episode, we explore Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees over ritual purity and tradition. What begins as a question about handwashing becomes a deeper challenge about authority, obedience, and the danger of using religious systems to avoid God’s commands. Takeaways The issue is not hygiene but ritual tradition Jesus contrasts human tradition with God’s commands Corban reveals how religion can be used as a loophole Hypocrisy is outward performance without inward alignment True faith is rooted in obedience, not appearance Recommended Reading & Sources Matthew 15:1–20 (NIV, NRSV, ESV, CSB) Jewish Annotated New Testament CSB Study Bible About the Podcast Gospel at a Glance walks through the gospels one short passage at a time, finding depth, challenge, and comfort in just a few verses.  Follow for daily reflections that invite you to see how the kingdom of God still breaks into ordinary life.

   Episode 108 - Matthew 14:28-36 - In the Storm

   Episode 108: In the Storm Scripture: Matthew 14:28–36 (NIV) 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” 34 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him 36 and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed. Episode Summary In this episode, we explore Matthew 14:28–36, focusing on Peter stepping out of the boat, losing focus, and crying out to Jesus. This passage is not just about a miracle. It reveals what happens when faith starts strong but falters under pressure. We walk through how fear shifts our attention, how quickly doubt can take over, and how Jesus responds in that exact moment. The episode also highlights the contrast between the disciples’ fear in the storm and the people’s trust when Jesus reaches land and begins healing. This is a passage about imperfect faith, immediate grace, and the steady presence of Jesus both in the storm and beyond it. Takeaways Faith can be real and still falter Fear often begins with a shift in focus Jesus responds immediately when we call out Doubt does not disqualify us from grace Recognition of Jesus changes how we respond to Him Recommended Reading & Sources Scripture (compare translations): New International Version (NIV) New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) English Standard Version (ESV) Holman Christian Standard Bible (CSB) Study Bibles: CSB Study Bible NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible Jewish Annotated New Testament About the Podcast Gospel at a Glance walks through the gospels one short passage at a time, finding depth, challenge, and comfort in just a few verses.
