    Ep. 112. Leviticus 03 - Should Christians Follow Unclean Food Laws?

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode, Sam and Will explore why Leviticus distinguishes between clean and unclean animals, including rules about mammals, seafood, birds, and carcasses. They explain how Israel’s dietary laws set God’s people apart and taught them to think seriously about holiness and drawing near to God. They also discuss why Christians are no longer required to follow these food restrictions and how Jesus shifts the focus from ritual cleanliness to the condition of the heart. The conversation examines childbirth purification, the cleansing ritual for leprosy, and how its imagery points to Jesus. You’ll also learn how Christians are called to live differently through love, obedience, and the fruit of the Spirit. Consider what habits in your life draw you toward God and what needs to be left behind. Share this episode with someone who wants to understand Leviticus and its meaning for Christians today.

    Ep. 13. Matthew 7 Pt. 2 - What Did Jesus Really Mean by "Ask, Seek, Knock"?

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO This episode finishes Matthew chapter 7 from the Sermon on the Mount, covering what Jesus really meant by "ask, seek, and knock." Sam and Will explain how the Greek grammar reveals this is a command to persevere in pursuing God, not a promise that God will give you anything you want. They explore how Luke 11:13 shows that the Holy Spirit is the ultimate gift God wants to give you, and how Paul's thorn in the flesh demonstrates God's power working through weakness. The episode also covers the Golden Rule, the narrow gate, how to recognize false prophets by their fruit, and the sobering warning that not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" will enter heaven. The key takeaway is that salvation is not about religious performance but about truly knowing Jesus and building your life on Him as your foundation. If you are new to the Bible or exploring Christianity, this episode will help you understand what it means to trust God even when He does not answer prayer the way you expect.

    Ep. 110. Leviticus 01 - What Do the 5 Offerings in Leviticus Mean for Christians Today?

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through the five offerings in Leviticus chapters 1–6 and explain what each one reveals about how God invites us to worship Him. The Hebrew word for offering, "korban," comes from a root meaning "to draw near," showing that God's heart behind every sacrifice is an invitation to approach Him. The five offerings covered are the burnt offering (total consecration), the grain offering (thanksgiving and tribute), the peace offering (fellowship and communion), the purification offering (cleansing from defilement), and the guilt offering (paying the debt of sin). Each offering finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus, connecting Old Testament worship to the Christian life through passages like Romans 12, Ephesians 2, and Hebrews 13. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or revisiting Leviticus for the first time in years, this episode makes the book practical and deeply meaningful for everyday faith.

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Matthew chapter 7 and tackle one of the most misquoted verses in the Bible: "Do Not Judge." They explain what Jesus actually meant, why Christians are still called to make wise moral judgments, and how failing to judge evil actually harms innocent people. You'll learn the Greek word "krino," which literally means "to separate," and how that changes everything about how we read this passage. The episode also covers the log and the speck (Matthew 7:3-5), what "pearls before swine" really means, and when wisdom says to hold back rather than share.

Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of the Bible Show, Sam and Will introduce the book of Leviticus and explain why it is one of the most overlooked yet deeply rewarding books of the Bible. They explore how Leviticus sits at the center of the Torah and reveals God's invitation for sinful people to draw near to Him through worship. The episode covers fun facts about Leviticus, including why it contains more direct speech from God than any other book of the Bible, and how the Day of Atonement in Leviticus 16 is the heart of the entire book. You will learn how the tabernacle represents a journey from death to life and how Jesus fulfills every sacrifice, law, and ritual described in Leviticus. Whether you have struggled to read Leviticus or never tried, this episode will show you why understanding it makes the gospel more beautiful and your faith more grounded.

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through Matthew 6:25-34 where Jesus teaches his followers not to be anxious about food, clothing, or tomorrow. This passage connects directly to Jesus' teaching about money and serving two masters, revealing that anxiety often comes from a divided heart. The Greek word for anxiety, merimnao, literally means to be pulled in different directions, and Jesus uses the birds of the air and lilies of the field to show how much more God cares for his children. They explore why gratitude and anxiety cannot coexist in the brain, and how spiritual hoarding keeps us from the freedom God offers.

    Ep. 108. Exodus 35-40 - Why Does God Call You a Temple?

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this final episode on Exodus, Sam and Will explore Exodus 35–40 and how the tabernacle construction reveals God's heart for willing worship over forced obedience. After the golden calf discipline, God invites Israel to give from a generous heart rather than demanding their resources, and the people respond with such overwhelming generosity that Moses has to tell them to stop. The episode highlights Bezalel as the first Spirit-filled person in Scripture, showing that every vocation is a divine calling. Sam and Will then trace the tabernacle pattern through the New Testament, revealing how Jesus' cry of "It is finished" and the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost made believers into living temples sent to the ends of the earth. They unpack the Samaritan woman encounter and Old Testament prophecies about living water flowing from the temple to bring life to dead places.

You'll learn what "moth and rust" actually meant in the ancient world, what the Hebrew idiom of the "good eye" and "evil eye" really means (generosity vs. selfishness), and why Jesus says you cannot serve both God and money.

    Ep. 107. Exodus 35-40 - How the Tabernacle Preaches to Egypt

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode, Sam and Will explore how God designed the tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant as a direct response to the Egyptian religion the Israelites had been surrounded by for centuries. They cover the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the 42 Negative Confessions, and the heart scarab, showing how ancient Egypt's approach to the afterlife was impossibly legalistic. They then draw parallels between Pharaoh's war tents, canopic chests, and funeral processions and the design of the tabernacle to show that God was intentionally using familiar imagery. However, where Egypt demanded perfection and offered only magical tricks, God's tabernacle preached mercy, grace, and resurrection. The three items inside the Ark of the Covenant (the manna, Aaron's rod, and the Ten Commandments) each reveal God's heart to sustain, restore, and remain faithful to broken people. If you've ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to Jesus and the gospel, this episode makes it powerfully clear. Whether you're new to the Bible or rediscovering it, this is a practical look at how God has always been about grace, not earning your way. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.

    Ep. 9. Matthew 6:9-13 - The Lord's Prayer

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode, Sam and Will break down the second half of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13, exploring what Jesus meant by "Your kingdom come," "Your will be done," "Give us our daily bread," "Forgive us our debts," and "Lead us not into temptation." You'll learn that God's kingdom is not a political territory, but his rule and authority at work in and through his people. They look at a practical grid for discerning God's will and discuss what the Greek word for "daily bread" reveals about our need for both physical and spiritual sustenance. They also unpack what biblical forgiveness really means and what it doesn't, why we can never repay our debt to God, and how the cross settles that debt for us.

Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will reveal how the tabernacle in Exodus is a prophetic blueprint for the life of Jesus as told in the Gospel of John. They walk through each piece of tabernacle furniture, from the bronze altar to the Ark of the Covenant, and show how it maps directly to Jesus' ministry, miracles, and "I am" statements. You'll discover why God dedicated 16 chapters of Exodus to tabernacle details and how each element foreshadows the sacrifice, purification, sustenance, light, and access to God that Jesus provides. The episode explores the stunning connection between the empty tomb, with its two angels and bloodied linens, and the mercy seat of the Ark of the Covenant.

Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through Matthew 6:1–18 from the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus teaches about the danger of turning spiritual disciplines into public performances. They break down what it means to give, pray, and fast with the right heart motives rather than seeking applause from others. You'll learn the Greek origins of the word "hypocrite," why Jesus spoke with unique authority using "Amen, I say to you," and how 1 Corinthians 3 explains eternal rewards versus wasted effort. The episode also covers the meaning behind the prayer closet, the structure of the Lord's Prayer, and why fasting is the most overlooked spiritual discipline today. If you've ever felt exhausted by religious performance or wondered whether God cares more about your heart than your image, this conversation will encourage you. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been in church for years, this is a practical reminder that authentic faith happens in secret before it ever shows up in public.

They explore what makes Moses a picture of Jesus as a mediator, the difference between forgiveness and restoration, and why God required Moses to cut the new stone tablets himself. You'll learn what God's glory really looks like when He reveals His own character: merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. The episode uncovers stunning parallels between three 40-day periods in Moses' life and three in the life of Jesus, including the presentation at the temple, the wilderness temptation, and the post-resurrection appearances. Discover how 2 Corinthians 3 teaches that believers are now living letters from God, growing from one degree of glory to another.

    Ep. 7. Matthew 5:13-48 - What Did Jesus Really Mean by "Turn the Other Cheek"?

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Matthew 5:13-48, unpacking what Jesus meant when He called His followers the salt of the earth and the light of the world. They explore how Jesus didn't come to abolish the Old Testament Law but to fulfill it perfectly on our behalf through what's called the Great Exchange. Jesus then raises the bar on murder, adultery, divorce, oaths, and retaliation, showing that God's standard goes all the way to the heart, not just outward behavior. You'll learn what "turn the other cheek" and "go the extra mile" actually meant in the first century, and why loving your enemies is central to the kingdom of God. The big takeaway: we can't meet God's perfect standard on our own, which is exactly why we need Jesus.

    Ep. 104. Exodus 33 - Why Did Moses Ask to See God's Glory?

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode, Sam and Will walk through Exodus 33 where the aftermath of the golden calf rebellion threatens to end God's relationship with Israel for good. We learn why God's offer to bless them from a distance was both just and merciful, and why salvation has always been about restored communion with God rather than just avoiding punishment or gaining heaven. Moses steps into his role as a Christ-like mediator, leveraging the favor God has shown him to bring an entire rebellious nation back under God's care. They explore what "face to face as a friend" really means in Hebrew, why God calls His people stiff-necked, and how church discipline is meant to be restorative rather than punitive. When Moses boldly asks to see God's glory, the answer is stunning: God reveals His goodness, His name, and His mercy from the cleft of a rock that points directly to Christ.
