Rob Croyle continues our journey through the week leading up to Christ's death. Wednesday has us asking what to do when God is silent. *Sermon Notes: * John 11 Four Ways God Uses Silence: Silence of Waiting Silence of Judgment (See 1 Samuel 3:1) Silence of Mercy (See Matthew 26:53, 63) Silence of Testing (2 Chronicles 32) “In nearly every instance of prayer n the Old Testament, God gives ten times as much as is asked for.” - Charles Spurgeon “One reason we can hardly bear to remain silent is that it makes us feel so helpless. We are so accustomed to relying upon words to manage and control others. If we are silent, who will take control? God will take control, but we will never let him take control until we trust him. Silence is intimately related to trust.” - Richard J. Foster, Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth Implication: Everyone desires resurrection...Christ invites you to know the One who resurrects. Everyone desires miracles...Christ invites you to pursue One who ma

Sermon Notes: Luke 18:9-14 Luke 19:8 Luke 11:42 Isaiah 6:1-7 Roughly Right - God uses imperfect people with imperfect methods and imperfect theology. While this is not an excuse for compromise, we also will embrace the fact that we will make mistakes and get things wrong. We value doing the best we can, but we won’t allow imperfections to prevent us from moving forward with God’s mission. (Hebrews 11-12:3) *Implication: * Christ invites you to approach all relationships with a humble heart. Your Next Steps: Evaluate your religious acts. Prayer humbly. Weed out all contempt from your heart.

Sermon notes: Matthew 18:15-35 Genesis 4:23-24 Family: The primary metaphor for the Church in the New Testament is that of family. The entire Biblical narrative is relationally driven and seeks to bring peace between peoples. We will fight for healthy relationships over anything else to build healthy community. *Implication: * Christ invites you to create a culture of forgiveness around yourself. Your Next Steps: Honest evaluation of who you need to forgive. Let your community help you navigate forgiveness. Keep the small things small. P’SHAT – Surface. The truth that is found on a p’shat level can be incredibly profound and profoundly applied. REMEZ – Hints. The rabbi has hidden a special treasure that is unlocked with a familiarity of the Old Testament text. DRASH – Inquire or Seek. Drash is the idea of truth hidden in story. Once a student has found the hint in the Old Testament text, the

This week on Footnotes: the crew discusses things people have shared about learning from these parables, the possible chiasm in Matthew 13, eschatology insights, sooo many ice cream analogies, and a fun little remez from the parable of the leaven. Blog post on 2 and 3 part eschatology - https://makingtalmidim.blogspot.com/2015/02/an-explosive-kingdom.html Sermon from May 24, 2020 - https://missionridge.fireside.fm/5-24-20Special Guest: Kyle Wonders.

Rob Croyle continues to explore the parables in Matthew 13 with a message that challenges us in how we view God. Sermon Notes: P’SHAT – Surface. The truth that is found on a p’shat level can be incredibly profound and profoundly applied. REMEZ – Hints. The rabbi has hidden a special treasure that is unlocked with a familiarity of the Old Testament text. DRASH – Inquire or Seek. Drash is the idea of truth hidden in story. Once a student has found the hint in the Old Testament text, they are given tools that are going to help them unlock and understand the deeper meanings of the rabbi’s teaching. It should be noted here that the remez in a teaching is always up for debate. SOD – Secret or Mystery. Sod is connected to mystery and cannot be learned or taught. Sod is a supernatural gift from God (or we might even say the Holy Spirit). An example of this is Peter’s great confession (Matthew 16) where Jesus remarks that “man has not revealed this to you, but only my Father who is in Heaven.” Matthew 13:31-33, 44
