Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible?Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAOIn this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through Exodus 34, where God renews His covenant with Israel after the golden calf incident. 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. Whether you're wondering how God handles sin, what His forgiveness really costs, or how prayer can transform your life, this teaching will ground you in both the Old Testament story and the gospel it points to.

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=a0UVx000009MGYoMAOIn 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=a0UVx000009MGYoMAOIn 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.

Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible?Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAOIn this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through the Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12, the opening of Jesus' most famous sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. They explain what "blessed" (makarios) truly means in the Bible and why it is far deeper than material happiness or good circumstances. Each Beatitude is unpacked as part of a progression of spiritual growth, starting with recognizing your spiritual bankruptcy and building toward mercy, purity, peacemaking, and enduring persecution. The episode reveals how Jesus preaching from a mountain parallels Moses receiving the law at Sinai, and how the seven mountains of Matthew form a deliberate chiastic pattern. They also show how the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 are mirrored by the Woes against the Pharisees in Matthew 23. Whether you are just beginning your faith journey or have followed Jesus for years, the Beatitudes invite you to drop the pretense and come to God with empty hands.

They explore why the Israelites built an idol just forty days after pledging total obedience to God, what the golden calf actually was and its shocking connection to the Egyptian goddess Hathor, and how Aaron's cowardice as a leader let the entire nation spiral into sin. You'll learn what the Hebrew phrase "rose up to play" really means, why God told Moses "your people have destroyed themselves," and how Moses' intercession foreshadows Jesus as our ultimate mediator and sacrifice. This episode challenges us to examine how we still turn God's blessings into idols and take his grace for granted in our everyday lives.

Ep. 5. Matthew 4 - How Did Jesus Resist Temptation in the Wilderness?
Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible?Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAOIn this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will walk through Matthew 4, where Jesus is led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. You will hear how the wilderness setting connects to Israel’s story, why Jesus fasts for 40 days, and how each temptation targets identity with the words, “If you are the Son of God.” They also show how Jesus answers Satan with Scripture (including passages from Deuteronomy), and how Satan twists Scripture (including Psalm 91) to push a shortcut around suffering. The conversation applies this to real life by talking about “wilderness seasons,” temptation patterns, and why suffering can trigger doubts about God’s love. Later, the episode transitions to the rest of Matthew 4, including Jesus’ move to Galilee, his message “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” and his calling of the first disciples.

They talk about God’s holiness, the tabernacle and priestly system, and why approaching God requires His provided “in-between” protections. Using a “standing on the sun” illustration, they show why we cannot enter God’s presence on our own. They connect Exodus 28–31 to the New Testament by explaining that Jesus fulfills the mediators, and that believers are called to abide “in Christ.” Take a moment to reflect on how you can approach God with both reverence and confidence because of Jesus.

They talk about the long “gap” between Jesus’ childhood and His baptism, then focus on John the Baptist’s message: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” You’ll hear what repentance means in everyday life, why confession can be freeing, and why John preaches in the wilderness instead of the temple. The conversation also explains why baptism matters, what it symbolizes, and why John says Jesus will baptize “with the Holy Spirit and fire.” If you are new to Christianity or Bible study, this is a practical guide to understanding repentance, baptism, and why Jesus’ baptism reveals who He is.

They explain how God moves toward sinful people and provides a “pattern” for how a holy God can dwell with His people. You will get a guided tour through the tabernacle’s layout and key items, including the bronze altar, bronze laver, table of showbread, golden lampstand, altar of incense, the veil, and the Ark of the Covenant with the mercy seat. Along the way, they connect these images to the gospel and to Jesus (including how the veil is torn and how Christ is described as the mercy seat). For personal application, they suggest using the tabernacle as a devotional guide for humility, repentance, fellowship with God, receiving truth, and growing in prayer.

You will also hear about Herod’s paranoia, the prophecy of Bethlehem (Micah), and how God guided events through dreams and the flight to Egypt.

You will see how God makes the covenant official through spoken and written words, vows of obedience, sacrifice, and a covenant meal. The episode explains why boundaries at Mount Sinai still matter, why the people are told to “worship from afar,” and how the blood sprinkled on the altar and the people seals the covenant. They also connect Exodus 24 to Jesus, the Last Supper, and the idea of “the blood of the covenant,” showing how the old patterns point to a greater fulfillment. Along the way, they discuss the fear of the Lord, why “hearing” in Hebrew includes obedience, and why drawing near to God is where peace is found.

You will hear what it means that Jesus is called the Son of David and the Son of Abraham, and how those titles point to God’s promises and a kingdom that reaches all nations. They highlight how God works through messy, broken family stories, including outsiders and women named in the genealogy (like Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and the wife of Uriah). The episode also explains Matthew’s “14 generations” pattern (including a discussion of gematria) and how Matthew is emphasizing David. Then they move into the birth of Jesus, Joseph’s mercy, the virgin birth, and why Jesus came to save people from their sins.

Sam and Will talk about the fear of the Lord (reverential awe), why God immediately gives instructions for an altar, and how the law exposes our need for atonement. They spend significant time discussing biblical slavery in the ancient world, especially the protections and limits God puts in place to guard the vulnerable and prevent exploitation. You will also hear how these laws point to bigger moral principles like justice, restitution, and care for the sojourner, widow, fatherless, and poor. Finally, they connect Exodus themes to the gospel, including a picture of covenant faithfulness and a striking passage about an “angel” whose name is in him. If you have ever struggled to read the Old Testament laws, this will help you slow down, look for God’s heart, and apply the moral message with humility.

They explain the difference between the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) and how John focuses on Jesus’ identity as God the Son. Before starting Matthew 1 and the genealogy, they give a beginner-friendly background to the world Jesus was born into, including foreign rule, pressure to “earn” God’s favor through obedience, and the rise of groups like Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots. They also unpack why many first-century Jews expected a political or military Messiah, and why Jesus’ message of mercy, loving enemies, and faith was so confusing and offensive to many leaders. The episode closes by pointing forward to Matthew 1, highlighting the grace and beauty found in Jesus’ genealogy, and ending with a prayer for readers as they enter the Gospels.

Ep. 98. Exodus 20:17 - The Tenth Commandment: What Does "Do Not Covet" Really Mean?

The conversation looks at how coveting is connected to envy, comparison, and discontentment, and why it can be hard to spot because it happens in the heart. They also talk through Scripture passages that expose coveting and point to contentment in Christ (including James 1, John 6, Luke 18, Romans 7, and Matthew 23). You will hear practical diagnostic questions to help you identify what you feel entitled to and what might cause you to “walk away sad” from Jesus. A key takeaway is that gratitude and contentment are central to fighting covetousness in everyday life.

The conversation connects this theme to other “but God” moments in Scripture, and highlights the joy of God in the picture of the lost sheep being carried home rejoicing. We also talk about what it means to be united with Christ, including being raised with Him and seated with Him, and how that reshapes your identity and security. There’s also a brief announcement about pausing the daily episodes and moving toward longer-form Old Testament and Gospel content. If you’ve been feeling shame, insecurity, or stuck in your circumstances, let this passage re-center you on God’s kindness and grace in Christ.

We read the passage, then unpack why the Bible’s diagnosis of humanity is so blunt, and why that is actually freeing instead of just shameful. You’ll hear why self-help and motivational fixes cannot solve spiritual death, and why we need resurrection, new life, and to be born again. We also discuss grace as the start of faith and include an illustration of why a dead person cannot choose God unless God first brings life.

They talk about how common lying is, how deception damages relationships, and why Scripture connects truth to the heart (Matthew 15:18–19). You will also hear Jesus’ teaching on simple honesty without oaths (Matthew 5:34), plus examples of how dishonesty spreads through social media and culture. The episode highlights why Christians are called to be witnesses of truth (Acts 1:8) and how to speak the truth in love instead of harshness (Ephesians 4). A practical takeaway is to practice honesty that protects others, builds trust, and points people back to God’s truth when the world feels confusing.
