Description

Now that we have taken our tour of the Temple and the Temple Mount, we will take a closer look at the Jewish priesthood. Who could become a priest or Levite? What jobs did they perform? Why did Jesus "cleanse" the temple? Did the Lord lose his temper, or was something happening in Judaism that led him to take such dramatic action?

The Kingdom of Heaven is Like….: More parables in Matthew 13 teach us about the nature of the Kingdom, its hidden and dynamic qualities, the power of the apostles despite overwhelming opposition by the world, and the tenacity required by the faithful and their ability to acquire the Kingdom. by Search the Scriptures Live
91 min listen
Seeing They Do Not See, And Hearing They Do Not Understand: This strange statement actually appears in all four gospels and Acts of the Apostles and is a prophecy about Christ. Why was this prophecy so crucial in the early Church, and why didn't Christ just explain or enlighten people so they could see and understand? by Search the Scriptures Live
84 min listen
“To Those Who Have More Will Be Given”: Christ told the disciples they would understand the mysteries and receive more. Others "seeing would not see and hearing would not understand" and would receive less. Why aren't the mysteries of heaven understandable to all? Does God choose some people over others? by Search the Scriptures Live
93 min listen
Why Did Jesus Use Parables?: The Lord's teachings were enigmatic at times, especially when He used parables. He said, "Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand." This sounds strange and unfair. Did the Lord truly want people not to understand him? by Search the Scriptures Live
94 min listen

The Sin Against the Holy Spirit: The Lord's immense power caused confusion among Jewish leaders and his actions evoked consternation. They accused him of using the devil's power to heal.

92 min listen
Something Greater Than the Temple: In Matthew chapter 12, the Pharisees increasingly challenge the Lord for what they perceive to be his violations of the Law of Moses. But the Lord defends his actions artfully, and in one healing story, Matthew shows how the Lord makes his rabbinic argument. by Search the Scriptures Live
92 min listen
Hiding Christ’s Teachings From the Learned and Wise: Christ thanked the Father for "hiding" his teaching from the "learned and wise" and revealing it to children. Why would God do that if God loves us all and Christ came to save us? Does God prevent some people from understanding? by Search the Scriptures Live
94 min listen

Picking up Your Cross: Christ or Family ?: In Church history, many people were forced to choose between Christ and their own family members, who sometimes even persecuted them.

98 min listen
Family Persecution Because of Christ: “Brother will deliver up brother to death.” The Lord foretold that we would face persecution for his sake, even from members of our family.

85 min listen
Leaving Everything for Christ: The call of St. Matthew seems odd to us. He was doing his job and suddenly left everything to follow Christ. Other disciples also responded suddenly and inexplicably. Did they have free will? What brought on such a reaction? What about the responsibilities they left behind? by Search the Scriptures Live
87 min listen
How Many Demons? How Many Demoniacs?: This week we examine a familiar and puzzling story, especially in Matthew's gospel.

91 min listen
The Stilling of the Storm: The string of miracles Matthew presents here continue, including the stilling of the storm and the healing of Peter's mother-in-law.

84 min listen
A Man Under Authority: A Roman centurion relates the authority of Jesus to his own military experience, recognizing not only the Lord's authority but even His divinity, despite being pagan. The Lord "marvels" at the faith and humility of this non-Israelite. by Search the Scriptures Live
84 min listen
The Miracles of Matthew: After the Sermon on the Mount, St. Matthew depicts Christ performing ten miracles in a row, but they aren't included simply to impress us with Christ's sheer power.

92 min listen
False Prophets: As the Lord wraps up the Sermon on the Mount, He issues warnings to us about false prophets and about how we must bear fruit and build a solid foundation for our lives on the Rock. Join us as we breathe in the flowers of the patristic garden. by Search the Scriptures Live
91 min listen
The Golden Rule: The "Golden Rule" is considered by many to be the greatest ethical instruction in the history of mankind.

88 min listen
Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged: The admonition to "judge not" may be the most misunderstood or misused verse in the Bible. Are we never to identify anything as sin? In addition to this verse, Dr. Jeannie will discuss Bible manuscript variations to clarify an earlier lesson and respond to queries. by Search the Scriptures Live
93 min listen
Treasure in Heaven: After finishing his instructions on prayer the Lord continues with emphasizing forgiveness, the secret pursuit of virtue, seeking the Kingdom and the impossibility of loving both God and money. As usual, we will hear from the Fathers on all these matters! by Search the Scriptures Live
93 min listen
Lead Us Not Into Temptation Part 2: Why does God allow temptations? Are some trials or tests different from others? Since God is only the source of good, but He allows temptation for our benefit, why does the Lord instruct us in the Lord's Prayer to ask, "lead us not into temptation"? by Search the Scriptures Live
