Feasting on Truth

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 15-16 and wraps up this study called Unexpected Savior. It is hard to read these verses and see what our Savior suffered on our behalf, but we must press in. Mark pulls out all of his juxtapositions here: irony, insider/outsider motifs, the secret gospel and one final Markan sandwich to put an exclamation point on his account of Jesus' life. His final verses remind us of who Jesus is and how He accomplished His mission, and the account comes to an intentionally abrupt close that forces us to make our decision about Jesus and ultimately, our lives.

The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us. Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 14 - all 72 verses! The time has come. This chapter is packed with the last days before the cross. Jesus is anointed in Bethany, shares the Passover meal with disciples, and prays in the Garden of Gethsemane. He is arrested and His trial begins. These are familiar stories, but with three Markan sandwiches, our challenge is to read this within Mark's structure and better understand our Unexpected Savior.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 12. It's tempting to lift these passages out of their context and attempt to interpret individually, allowing the mysteries within to distract us. But we must continue to study within Mark's specific structure. As the religious leaders continue to try to trap Jesus, Jesus proves once again that He is the authority, wise and deliberate. He tells a parable building on the leafy fig tree of Mark 11, defeats each trap set before Him, and ultimately reminds us of His desire for each of us: to surrender so He might bear fruit through us.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 11. Jesus arrives at Jerusalem's doorstep and enters deliberately and triumphantly into the city and into the Holy Week. Mark makes a bold statement about what Jesus has come to do through another Markan sandwich. This week required a little extra cultural study to fully grasp the meaning behind the withered fig tree and the cleansing of the temple. The time has come; Jesus is about to accomplish for us what we could not do on our own.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 10. This chapter is the final one in the middle section of Mark, a series of conversations as Jesus moves from Galilee to Jerusalem. Jesus continues to teach His disciples and followers about why He came: He came to do what we cannot do ourselves. He came not to be served, but to serve. He's is not what they expected, nor is His kingdom like the kingdom of this world. It's so much better.

In this episode, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 9. This chapter is mart of the middle section of the book, taking place as Jesus is moving toward Jerusalem and toward His death. You can sense the shift in His message, plainly explaining to the disciples what He came to do. This week, we see the humility of Jesus that beckons us toward humility too.

In this episode, Erin H. Warren talks about the importance of community in building faith. Satan loves for us to remain in isolation, but God designed us to be in community around the Word of God. Using examples from Scripture, Erin explains what this community looks like and shares one of the most powerful pictures of how community builds our faith found in Ephesians 6:16.

Building Faith is a companion series to REconstructing Faith on the Million Praying Moms podcast. This series sets a foundation for Erin's new book, Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What.

More on the book:

Life rarely goes as planned, and we often find ourselves tossed to and fro by circumstances out of our control. When things go awry, our confidence in God’s faithfulness may waver. But His faithfulness is tied to His promises in Scripture, not our earthly circumstances.

In Everyday Prayers for Faith: Finding Confidence in God No Matter What, author Erin H. Warren unpacks the precious promises of God that are worth far more than anything this world has to offer.

You will learn how God:

• Lifts your burdens to give you rest

• Provides an abundance of comfort that you can extend to others

• Sends rainbows and hope after every storm

• Shares a steadfast love that never wavers

• Gives us His strength to keep running the race

Erin’s prayer is that by the end of this book, “women will fling their arms wide and leap forward to proclaim, ‘I trust in God!’”

In this podcast, Erin Warren gives a review of Mark 1-8, revisiting each chapter at a high level to remind us of the structure, themes, and truths about who Jesus is. He is the Unexpected Savior - not a conquering king, but rather a Man of Sorrows, Servant, and Savior. He came to preach the gospel and in doing so, planted small seeds in the lives of twelve men. It's a story of growing faith, rooted (pun intended) in the repeated theme: hear, believe, bear fruit. The seed of faith starts with hearing the Good News, believing, and then turning to follow Christ and His ways, bearing fruit as you go.

This podcast is a companion teaching to the Feasting on Truth Bible study. 

What if I don't feeling anything? Why do I need to know the Bible and what does that have to do with faith in hard times? In this episode, Erin Warren addresses these questions and some misconceptions about head knowledge. She defines biblical knowledge and gives four benefits to knowledge. Knowledge undergirds our faith. Knowledge of God and His Word is paramount, essential, and so needed as we continue to walk through this world.

In this second episode, Erin Warren explains the importance of context, both biblical and historical, when studying Scripture and how that helps us hold fast to faith. Satan is still asking, "Did God actually say...?" and we need to be armed with truth to better understand faith and our faithful God. She uses the story of Abraham as an example to show how context makes all the difference in understanding Scripture.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 8, a turning point in this Gospel. A hungry crowd once again gathers and Jesus provides miraculously. But what makes this miracle powerful is where it takes place. Jesus continues to be grieved by the hardness of the Pharisees and warns His disciples, who still do not fully perceive who He is (even though Peter confesses Jesus as Christ). Jesus plainly predicts His suffering, rejection, death, and resurrection and calls us to lay down our lives as well. 

The Gospel of Mark challenges the expected ideal of the Messiah—not a conquering king or a wish-granting genie, but rather a man of sorrows and a suffering servant. This short yet impactful account of Jesus’ life reveals the character of the One who came to save us.  Jesus was not what they were expecting; He was better. 

Links Mentioned in this Episode:

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 7. Jesus debates the Pharisees over the law and what defiles us. While we love to blame the external, the problem is within our own sinful hearts. Mark then tells two stories that simultaneously remind us of His rightness and His right place (and our own place). Praise Jesus! Through faith, we are hear, believe, and brought in!

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 5. Building on the themes of Mark 4, this chapter clearly points to the truth that Jesus came to make us clean and raise us to new life. Through three stories, we see Mark use irony to show how Jesus is not made unclean by contact with the unclean. In fact, the opposite happens. With another Markan Sandwich, Mark proves that not only are the words of Jesus powerful, He is omnipotent too.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 4. It's easy to read these parables and translate them into "What do I need to do?" But as we pull back to see the structure and juxtaposition of these stories, Mark teaches us important truths about who Jesus is and why He came. He is sowing the seeds of the gospel. His Word is going out with purpose and with power as Jesus breaks ground for His kingdom. Jesus is our Source, the Truth, and has the Words of Eternal Life. Then, as he often does, Mark tells a story to illustrate the power of Jesus' Word.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 3. Mark continues to show Jesus' authority as He restores the crippled hand of a man on the Sabbath day. The crowds continue to press in. Jesus calls twelve men to be His apostles on a mountaintop, and we have our first Markan sandwich! This structure reiterates why Jesus came: to bind Satan and rescue the captives, restoring all who believe to a right relationship with their Father in the family of God.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Mark 2. Mark continues to establish the authority of Jesus as he answers the question, "Who is Jesus?" Jesus continues teaching and preaching, showing His authority to forgive sins and over the Law. Employing the use of irony and another insider/outsider motif, Mark shows the error in the Pharisees addition to the various laws and Jesus' fulfillment of it, ultimately reminding us that we get to enjoy the feast in the presence of God both now and for eternity.

Mark begins his gospel proclaiming that this is the good news of Jesus Christ. While on the surface it appears to be a quick overview of the beginning of Jesus's ministry, Mark's structure helps us see a pattern of proclaiming a truth then proving it with an example. Here, Mark begins with a creation parallel, an example of what it looks like "to turn to" Jesus, and a profound picture of what Jesus came to do.

In this first session, Erin Warren introduces the study, explains the Four Simple Questions, and teaches the context of the Gospel of Mark. At first glance, this appears to be a fast-hitting, fly-by account of Jesus's life, but the deliberate order and structure of the book gives deeper meaning and insight into who Jesus is and what He came to do.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 11. God is creating a multi-ethnic family where we are all common in sin and common in salvation. This is a further breakdown of the fact that God requires faith for salvation. That is His grace to us. Being born Jewish or following the law is not what saves you. We cannot choose our own way and then call God unfaithful. He is faithful always, and we need to submit to His ways, through faith in Jesus Christ, and accept the gift of grace He offers.

In this podcast, Erin Warren teaches through Romans 8. This may be one of the most encouraging chapters in all of Scripture! As Paul closes out the second section of his longest letter, he encourages us: that even in the already-but-not-yet and even though we struggle with our sin as we are sanctified, we are not condemned! We are more than conquerors and nothing can separate from the steadfast love of our Abba Father. But as we wait for the fulfillment of His promise, we are not orphans. We have the Spirit who guides us, helps us, and intercedes on our behalf.

QUOTES

"Forasmuch as this epistle is the principal and most excellent part of the New Testament, and most pure [gospel]. . . and also a light and a way in unto the whole scripture, I think it meet that every Christian man not only know it by rote but also exercise himself therein evermore continually as with the daily bread of the soul. No man verily can read it too oft or study it too well: for the more it is studied the easier it is, the more it is searched the more precious things are found in it, so great treasure of spiritual things lieth hid therein." – William Tyndale.

I love Easter. I love what it represents. I love what it means for us. But 2000 years ago, they didn’t know. They didn’t realize. They couldn’t see. Yet. The Gospel of Matthew provides a unique perspective on the life of Jesus, with a heavy emphasis on the Kingdom of God. Matthew points over and over to the fact that this kingdom was not like any kingdom found on earth. In fact, it was the complete opposite. It was an upside down kingdom.

He is RISEN! He is RISEN INDEED! In this teaching through Matthew 28, Erin Warren discusses why the resurrection matters and how it effects the way we walk through this life. We may be living in the already but not yet, faced with fear, pain, hate, loss, death, but the victory is won and death has been defeated forevermore.

Matthew 27 is a hard chapter to read. It's not easy reading what our Savior suffered, but it's also necessary for us to press in and lean in. Matthew again points to Jesus as the fulfillment of the Old Testament and he relies on the juxtaposition of several stories to further show that Jesus is the Messiah they were waiting for. And through His death, we now have something that had not existed since the Garden of Eden: Access to the Presence of God.

Matthew 26 is comprised of 75 verses and 10 mini stories about the event leading up to Jesus' death. There are some big events here: the anointing of Jesus at Bethany. the Lord's Supper, Judas' betrayal, Peter's denial. It's easy to get lost with this much material, but as Erin Warren teaches, she helps to focus the attention on one question: How does this passage show Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament? It's a good exercise in taking the purpose of the author and applying it to the passage.

I love Easter. I love what it represents. I love what it means for us. But 2000 years ago, they didn’t know. They didn’t realize. They couldn’t see. Yet. The Gospel of Matthew provides a unique perspective on the life of Jesus, with a heavy emphasis on the Kingdom of God. Matthew points over and over to the fact that this kingdom was not like any kingdom found on earth. In fact, it was the complete opposite. It was an upside down kingdom.

In this first teaching, Erin Warren gives the context of the book of Matthew as well as dives in to Matthew 21:1-17 (The Triumphal Entry and Jesus Cleanses the Temple). Right off the bat, we see Matthew reiterating two of his key themes for the book: Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and He is the new Moses and the promised Messiah.

Why study this ancient tent? What does knowing the Tabernacle have to do with our faith on this side of the cross? Everything. From Creation, God's desire was to dwell in the midst of His people. In the middle of the wilderness, God gives Moses a way for God Himself to dwell in the midst of His people: the Tabernacle. This tent is not merely ritual or history or good information. It's essential to understanding our salvation. Our detailed and deliberate God gave us the Tabernacle because one day, He would give us Jesus.

In this final teaching, Erin Warren discusses the sixth and seventh pieces of furniture in the Tabernacle: The Ark of the Covenant and the Marcy Seat, as well as the Most Holy Day: the Day of Atonement. Both furnishings are placed behind the Veil in the Most Holy Place, the place where God's Glory dwelled. No one was to enter except the High Priest and only on the Day of Atonement. When Jesus cried "It is finished!" on the cross, something incredible happened in the Temple. Jesus did what the blood of bulls and goats could not do, and because of our Great High Priest and the sacrifice of Himself, we now have not only access, but confidence to draw near to the Presence of God. He doesn't just dwell in our midst; He dwells in us.
