190 - Old Testament Survey - Jonah 10/23/2020

190 - Old Testament Survey - Jonah This week we talk about the book of Jonah. You won’t get moralism here. The point of the book is too important for that. Jesus’ words in the Gospels about Jonah are our major interpretive lens. Listen in as we find Christ in this book of the minor prophets. /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/16486922

189 - Old Testament Survey - Esther 10/16/2020

189 - Old Testament Survey - Esther This week Todd and Chris turn to the book of Esther. Todd really has some great insight into the book since he grew up Jewish. How do we understand this book that never mentions God? Is God still there? What about his promises? What does God’s apparent absence mean for the promised Messiah? Whose word is irrevocable: the decree of the Medes and the Persians, or God’s word? Listen in as we talk about finding Christ in this unique book of the Bible. /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/16378961

188 - Old Testament Survey - Proverbs 10/09/2020

188 - Old Testament Survey - Proverbs This week Todd and I discuss the book of Proverbs. What is the point of wisdom literature like this? It was given during the typological covenant of works with Israel. So is it law? Listen in as we talk about finding Christ in this important book of the Bible. /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/16268282

187 - Old Testament Survey - Psalms 10/02/2020

187 - Old Testament Survey - Psalms Todd and I are back this week. We are picking up our walk through the Old Testament with the book of Psalms.

Listen in as we discuss this important book of the Bible. /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/16174847

186 - Old Testament Survey - Song of Songs 09/04/2020

185 - Old Testament Survey - Ecclesiastes 08/28/2020

185 - Old Testament Survey - Ecclesiastes This week is related to the theme of suffering in the book of Job from last week. Ecclesiastes is wisdom for living in a fallen world. The fallenness of the world means that death makes everything seem vain and futile. Listen in as we discuss this wonderful book! /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/15788033

184 - Old Testament Survey - Job 08/21/2020

184 - Old Testament Survey - Job Job is definitely about suffering. But why does Job suffer? In this episode, we use Meredith Kline’s contribution about Job in the Wycliffe Bible Commentary to connect Job’s suffering to what has come before in redemptive history - and what will come after. We hope you find this episode encouraging! /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/15637718

183 - Old Testament Survey - Ruth 4 08/14/2020

183 - Old Testament Survey - Ruth 4 With this chapter, we wrap up the book of Ruth.

Listen in as we talk about how to find Christ in the real, historical people in this story! /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/15547991

182 - Old Testament Survey - Ruth 3 08/07/2020

182 - Old Testament Survey - Ruth 3 Ruth chapter three gets a little bit uncomfortable. Naomi devises a sinful scheme, but Ruth redeems the situation. Problems get solved, but new problems emerge. Listen in as we talk about how God is revealing the person and work of Christ in the real, historical people in this story! /episode/index/show/glorycloudpodcast/id/15453830

181 - Old Testament Survey - Ruth 2 07/31/2020

181 - Old Testament Survey - Ruth 2 We continue on with Ruth chapter two, this week. The drama builds, because this is where Ruth and Boaz meet. But is this a Hallmark love story? Or is something else going on? What does this story about Ruth gathering barley in Boaz’s field, mean?
