This week, we start the first of a series of episodes digging deep into Jesus' first sermon. Why does he choose to go up a mountain? Why does Matthew make a point to say he "sat down"? What does it mean for us as we start our look at this life changing message?

Hebrews 5 describes believers who are still like infants because they are unfamiliar with the “Oracles of God,” a phrase most often connected to the Torah—the instruction God gave His people. At The Whole Testament, we recognize that many of us today are also “baby believers,” still learning the deeper truths of God’s Word. Our desire is to grow in maturity by learning to “eat” solid spiritual food.

This is the heartbeat behind our podcast. We want to engage Scripture in meaningful ways that help us grow. Some episodes offer brief reflections meant to spark fresh ways of thinking. Others take a deeper look at the Scriptures, inviting thoughtful study and reflection. Finally, we share conversations focused on how we can live out what we’ve learned by talking with people who are practicing these truths in their daily lives.

Our aim is simple: to pursue God’s Word with depth, understanding, and a desire to live it out faithfully.

In this episode Dave will look at the last two temptations of Jesus. Was Jesus really tempted to jump off the top of the temple? Does Satan really have control of the kingdoms of the earth? What do we do when Satan quotes Scripture back at us? How do we actually get rid of the enemy? Join us as we dive into the second half of Matthew's story about the temptations of Jesus.

In this episode, Dave will look at the first temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. Is making bread from stone a sin? Does quoting Scripture scare off the devil? What can we do when the tempter comes to attack us? we will look all these and more as we dig into the story Matthew tells.
