The Kingdom of Heaven is Like….: More parables in Matthew 13 teach us about the nature of the Kingdom, its hidden and dynamic qualities, the power of the apostles despite overwhelming opposition by the world, and the tenacity required by the faithful and their ability to acquire the Kingdom. by Search the Scriptures Live

Seeing They Do Not See, And Hearing They Do Not Understand: This strange statement actually appears in all four gospels and Acts of the Apostles and is a prophecy about Christ. Why was this prophecy so crucial in the early Church, and why didn't Christ just explain or enlighten people so they could see and understand? by Search the Scriptures Live
84 min listen
“To Those Who Have More Will Be Given”: Christ told the disciples they would understand the mysteries and receive more. Others "seeing would not see and hearing would not understand" and would receive less. Why aren't the mysteries of heaven understandable to all? Does God choose some people over others? by Search the Scriptures Live

Why Did Jesus Use Parables?: The Lord's teachings were enigmatic at times, especially when He used parables. He said, "Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand." This sounds strange and unfair. Did the Lord truly want people not to understand him? by Search the Scriptures Live

The Kingdom of Heaven: One of Matthew's major themes is acquiring the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Sin Against the Holy Spirit: The Lord's immense power caused confusion among Jewish leaders and his actions evoked consternation. They accused him of using the devil's power to heal.

Something Greater Than the Temple: In Matthew chapter 12, the Pharisees increasingly challenge the Lord for what they perceive to be his violations of the Law of Moses.

Hiding Christ’s Teachings From the Learned and Wise: Christ thanked the Father for "hiding" his teaching from the "learned and wise" and revealing it to children.

The Kingdom of Heaven Suffers Violence: "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence." For most modern commentators, this is a most enigmatic saying.

Picking up Your Cross: Christ or Family ?: In Church history, many people were forced to choose between Christ and their own family members, who sometimes even persecuted them.

98 min listen
Family Persecution Because of Christ: “Brother will deliver up brother to death.” The Lord foretold that we would face persecution for his sake, even from members of our family.

85 min listen
Leaving Everything for Christ: The call of St. Matthew seems odd to us. He was doing his job and suddenly left everything to follow Christ. Other disciples also responded suddenly and inexplicably. Did they have free will? What brought on such a reaction? What about the responsibilities they left behind? by Search the Scriptures Live
87 min listen
How Many Demons? How Many Demoniacs?: This week we examine a familiar and puzzling story, especially in Matthew's gospel.

91 min listen
The Stilling of the Storm: The string of miracles Matthew presents here continue, including the stilling of the storm and the healing of Peter's mother-in-law.

The Miracles of Matthew: After the Sermon on the Mount, St. Matthew depicts Christ performing ten miracles in a row, but they aren't included simply to impress us with Christ's sheer power.

The Golden Rule: The "Golden Rule" is considered by many to be the greatest ethical instruction in the history of mankind.

Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged: The admonition to "judge not" may be the most misunderstood or misused verse in the Bible. Are we never to identify anything as sin? In addition to this verse, Dr. Jeannie will discuss Bible manuscript variations to clarify an earlier lesson and respond to queries. by Search the Scriptures Live
93 min listen
Treasure in Heaven: After finishing his instructions on prayer the Lord continues with emphasizing forgiveness, the secret pursuit of virtue, seeking the Kingdom and the impossibility of loving both God and money. As usual, we will hear from the Fathers on all these matters! by Search the Scriptures Live
93 min listen
Lead Us Not Into Temptation Part 2: Why does God allow temptations? Are some trials or tests different from others? Since God is only the source of good, but He allows temptation for our benefit, why does the Lord instruct us in the Lord's Prayer to ask, "lead us not into temptation"? by Search the Scriptures Live

Women in the Early Church: In Romans chapter 16, Paul greets many Roman Christians, including many women active in the church there. How do we reconcile Paul having female co-workers with the passages in his epistles in which Paul says that women should "be silent"?

St. Paul in His Own Time: Paul is such an important apostle that he is referred to by the Fathers as "THE Apostle." But during his lifetime, most people did not consider him an apostle. Why not? St. Paul defended his apostleship in a very surprising way. What is the most important criteria to remember when reading Paul's epistles? How can we remember the order of his epistles? Why are they in that particular order in the Bible? Tonight we talk about these issues as well as take a peek into the world of first-century Judaism and the Greco-Roman world so we can understand Paul's life and his world.
