28:04After Jesus is baptized and the Holy Spirit drives him out into the wilderness to be tempted for 40 days, Jesus returns to his hometown filled with the power of the Spirit. Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson teach us what it means for Jesus to have the full power of the Spirit before breaking down the Isaiah passage Jesus reads in the synagogue that talks about God anointing his Messiah. The hearers go from praising Jesus’ teaching to wanting to kill him after Jesus says, “Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” Why did they flip so abruptly? As you’ll hear, Jesus did not meet their expectations of a Savior. They thought they’d get someone who would lead them to military victory and financial fortune, not one of their classmates they grew up with saying he’s God’s favorite. But God’s Word accomplishes what it says it will accomplish: convicting you in your sin and delivering God’s mercy and forgiveness to you . CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: 18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." 20 And he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 Then he began to say to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

27:03We’re breaking down Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana in this week’s conversation. First, Mary says to Jesus, “They have no wine.” This may seem like a mundane detail of the text, but, as Sarah Stenson teaches us, it reveals Mary’s faith in Jesus and prompts us to ask how we can take that same mindset into prayer. Then we discuss the purpose of miracles. If Jesus came to become sin, take our sin away from us, forgive us, and give us new life, why does he do miracles?

My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." 6 Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. 8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward." So they took it. 9 When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now." 11 Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

29:35In the First Sunday After Epiphany, Dr. Chris Croghan joins the conversation to discuss baptism: Why do we need to be baptized? What’s the difference between our baptism today and those who were baptized by John the Baptist? Why was Jesus baptized if he never sinned? In short, your baptism convicts you of killing Christ and forgives you all your sins in one fell swoop. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

26:37The lectionary text for the first Sunday of 2025 is filled with options to focus a sermon on. Lars Olson joins Kiri and Mason to break down a few of them. First, we discuss the theologically packed first verse, “In the beginning was the Word.” Lars explains why this is an important claim: God’s Word wasn’t created, it’s doing the creating. Next, we talk about verse 10, “He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him.” Lars discusses how John is filled with mind-being statements that we try to oversimplify to better fit what we want them to be. How can Jesus be God’s Word that created the world yet be in the world He created? Lastly, we talk about verse 17, “The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” The law shows you your darkness. It doesn’t save you from death, it pushes you toward it. Jesus didn’t come to give us new or better commands. He’s giving us a new reality in mercy.

What has come into being 4 in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. 9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. 12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. 15 (John testified to him and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.'") 16 From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. It is the only Son, himself God, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known. Support the show Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

Sarah Stenson and Lars Olson point out the importance of Elizabeth being filled with the Holy Spirit before delivering her sermon to Mary. As you’ll hear, Mary, and you and I today, are blessed because of what God has spoken to us.

He is the one who is delivering his word of mercy. He is the one who is being unfair. He is the one who looks at us with favor.

26:59This week, Dr. Chris Croghan is back to discuss John the Baptist in this Advent text saying, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits worthy of repentance.” Many who hear this text immediately think to themselves, “I don’t want to be a viper. I better get my act together before Christmas.” Dr. Croghan teaches us that being repented is a passive act. Repentance means to have your mind change, and Martin Luther discovered your mind is changed because a word comes to you; there’s something new in your conscience. The key to repentance—and to this Advent text—isn’t about doing the right thing. It’s about receiving faith.

30:41In this week’s conversation, Lars Olson explains what the season of Advent is and why it’s not simply a season of preparation ahead of Christmas: it’s announcing Christ is here, now. Lars also teaches Kiri and Mason why Luke includes so many historical details about the political and religious leaders of the time and the significance of “the wilderness,” and why we encounter God there. Lastly, in a text with John the Bapist saying Jesus is near and quotes from Isaiah saying this is what God is going to do, it can be tempting for preachers to give a call to action before Jesus is born. Lars reminds us God has already delivered his promise and how preachers can effectively connect those dots in this text.

28:24In a text about the signs of Christ’s return, Sarah Stenson teaches us this week that Christians have always looked for the signs that Jesus is about to return. Even Martin Luther listed the events happening in Germany in a sermon about this text! But amidst the destruction, chaos, and fear listed here, there is an incredible promise. Christians who have received Jesus’ word of promise do not have to be afraid: Jesus is coming again, just as he promised he would. All of creation will pass away, but God’s word will not. In a direct echo of Genesis 1, God’s word existed before creation and it’ll exist after creation is destroyed. As you’ll hear, Advent isn’t a season of waiting. It’s a season of delivering an incredible promise. Jesus came and delivered his judgment on us: sinner. But he is merciful and delivered his promise in our sin’s place.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 34. “Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, like a trap. 35. For it will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth. 36. Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Support the show Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

21:08Pilate asks Jesus a seemingly straightforward question, "Are you the King of the Jews?" As you’ll hear Dr. Chris Croghan teaches us, it’s anything but. If a king is truly sovereign, he cannot be put on trial. Yet here is Pilate putting Jesus on trial. Every time you question God, you’re accusing him of being a liar. I don’t think this is fair. I don’t want my family member to have this disease. If I were God, I wouldn’t be doing it this way. When you’re being crushed under the weight of God’s wrath, that’s God flipping the trial on to you. It forces a confession out of you. Jesus wants his blood on your hands so he can proclaim mercy. ADVENT PLANNING GUIDE Luther House of Study is pleased to announce a brand new Advent Planning Guide!

Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?" 36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not from this world.

28:11Jesus and the disciples are back at the temple when the disciples exclaim, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” You might think this is the disciples admiring a beautiful church, but, as Lars Olson and Dr. Chris Croghan teach us, they’re admitting the church building is an idol for them. Christ continues to point out the idols the disciples, and us today, continue to put above him. And the disciples have the gumption to ask Jesus to give them a warning ahead of God’s wrath coming! Many, many Christians ask for the same thing when they listen to a sermon: tell me how to be a good person, how to live in the world, and how to accomplish God’s will. But this is making yourself an idol. In your quest for self righteousness, you put yourself ahead of God. There’s no way to avoid God’s wrath. He’s a jealous God, and he will remove your idols. But in God’s wrath, he remembers his mercy. The wrath isn’t the end. The end is still to come, in Christ.

26:45Jesus warns his disciples of the scribes who walk around in long robes, like to be greeted with respect, and have the best seats at banquets. We ask Lars Olson, what’s so bad about wearing long robes and having good seats? He explains the scribes are using their position to gain admiration in every sphere of life at the expense of those they’re called to protect: orphans, the poor, and widows. Then a poor widow comes and puts two small copper coins in the treasury, and Jesus explains it’s more than the large sums of money given by the rich. The law says widows should be protected. What does the law actually do? Take every last cent from her. Jesus is calling us to a place where his will is our only hope, not our money. On the cross, Jesus had nothing except a promise from his father. ADVENT PLANNING GUIDE Luther House of Study is pleased to announce a brand new Advent Planning Guide!

18:09To discuss the Reformation Day text the lectionary gives us every year, we welcome Dr. Chris Croghan back to Scripture First to discuss what is truth. Jesus says to his disciples, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." What does it mean to know the truth? Dr. Croghan quotes Martin Luther: the root of all sin is unbelief. Jesus isn’t the law to the woman who committed adultery. He was mercy. Everyone who doesn’t believe Jesus is mercy is a slave to thinking he is the law. The truth will make you free. Free from what? Free from thinking you have to save your sinful self. Jesus has mercy on you. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class? Luther House of Study is excited to present a comprehensive online confirmation curriculum.

26:54James and John ask Jesus to grant them to sit in his glory at his right and left hands. As you’ll hear Sarah Stenson and Dr. Chris Croghan teaches us in this week’s episode, they’re focused on what they want instead of what God wants. Instead of thy will be done, it’s my will be done. Jesus explains that whoever wishes to be first among you must be a slave to all. This Old World is King of the Hill; is this a new instruction? Should you be the biggest slave to get the most power? Jesus is not giving you a prescription of how to live. He’s giving you a depiction of what your life will look like when you have faith in him. You will pour your life out for the neighbor. Your identity isn’t in what you do, but what promise you’ve received. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirmation class?

Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?" 39 They replied, "We are able." Then Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink you will drink; and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; 40 but to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared." 41 When the ten heard this, they began to be angry with James and John. 42 So Jesus called them and said to them, "You know that among the Gentiles those whom they recognize as their rulers lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. 43 But it is not so among you; but whoever wishes to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wishes to be first among you must be slave of all. 45 For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as ransom for many."
