Mark 2:44 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay.The action of faith brings about the actions of Jesus. The most important result of the action of faith is the forgiveness of sin. Also, the actions of faith can be the actions of the body on behalf of their friend, as was the case here with the paralytic. God calls us to act in faith.Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture

31: Holy To the Lord (Exodus 28:36-38)
Exodus 28:36-3836 “You shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet, ‘Holy to the Lord.’ 37 And you shall fasten it on the turban by a cord of blue. It shall be on the front of the turban. 38 It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear any guilt from the holy things that the people of Israel consecrate as their holy gifts. It shall regularly be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord.What does this plate on Aaron’s forehead have to do with us? It is like theater. God gives this piece to point to the true holy One, Jesus, who bears our guilt before the throne of God and enables us to be accepted before the Lord.Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture

30: For He wrote of Me (John 5:46)
John 5:46“For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me”Jesus makes two important points in this short verse, using something the Jews cherished - the Old Testament. Jesus highlights the teachings of Moses, who spoke about Jesus as the coming Messiah, and uses this to question the Jewish leaders’ true belief in the scripture. Jesus is affirming how important the text is! God speaks to us through the text. It also causes us to wrestle with what we truly believe. Are we practicing what we believe?Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture

29: Speaking from the Mercy Seat Covered by the Cherubim (Exodus 25:22)
God’s mercy seat, the place of atonement, that is the place where God speaks to Moses. It is covered by the Cherubim. The Cherubim protect the holiness of God. And it is out of God’s holiness, from the atoning seat, the atonement, there God speaks to Moses. And there God speaks to us.Exodus 25:22There I will meet with you, and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are on the ark of the testimony, I will speak with you about all that I will give you in commandment for the people of Israel.Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture

28: Do You Want to Get Well? (John 5:6)
Jesus seems to seek this man out, the invalid of 38 years, and asks him what seems to be a simple question for his condition, “do you want to get well?”. He answers in a roundabout way that doesn't answer Jesus's question. God wants things for us and we just need to hear Him and answer Him directly. We need to trust and obey, knowing that God has so much greater for us than we could ever imagine. What does that look like for you?John 5:66 “Do you want to get well?”Website:https://hearinggodinscripturepodcast.transistor.fm/CONNECT WITH US:YouTube: @HearingGodInScriptureX: @GodInScriptureInstagram: @hearinggodinscriptureFacebook: Hearing God in Scripture
The title of our podcast is pretty straightforward. We are looking to hear God in Scripture. We believe proper hermeneutics is rare, that is, the ability to properly read the Bible is not commonly known or practiced. We believers are commanded to know and study the Scriptures. We should also study to properly understand what they say. These Scriptures are God’s words to us. God spoke to us. Now we need to read them right.
Not only did God speak, He still speaks. We shouldn’t just read the Scripture to pull it apart and examine it, we should be listening to God, listening for His voice as we read the text. Our hermeneutic is, “the Text is the Master”. We submit to the text. We do not have the right to twist it around to make it say what we want it to say. Rather, we discover what God is saying to us through His Word. Then we submit to whatever He says.
So, hear God in the Scriptures. That is what we are trying to do and we invite you to do this with us.
