Scripture FirstWhen God Extends His Benefits | Matthew 5:1-12 with Sarah StensonTake a moment to answer this question to yourself: what is a saint?For All Saints Sunday, Sarah Stenson asks Kiri, Max, and Mason what we think a saint is, and we think it’s a path you’re on to become a better Christian. Sarah explains how this text gives us an understanding of what a saint is and who makes us a saint. Also, as you hear the Beatitudes, see if you notice yourself hearing them as instructions on how to live. CONFIRMATION Does your church have a confirm...2024-10-2830 min

Scripture FirstWeird Sheep | Matthew 25:31-46 with Sarah Stenson & Lars OlsonIn one of Jesus' last parables before being crucified, He mentions terms Christians hear all the time: Son of Man, blessed by the father, sheep and goats. Kiri, Max, and Mason slow down and ask Sarah Stenson and Lars Olson to unpack what those terms actually mean. What does Jesus' title as Son of Man mean? What does it mean to be blessed by God the Father? How do I know if I'm a sheep or a goat? In the ensuing conversation, Lars and Sarah preach why is everyone trying so hard to be a good person? The calls...2023-11-2033 min

Scripture FirstTen Bridesmaids | Matthew 25:1-13 with Sarah StensonWe dive into the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids with Sarah Stenson this week. Five wise bridesmaids were prepared for the bridegroom by bringing oil for their lamps. Compare that to the five foolish bridesmaids who came unprepared and demanded the wise bridesmaids share their oil only to be turned down, and, while they were off buying their own oil, the bridegroom showed up and the door to the wedding banquet was shut. We hear Jesus conclude this parable in a terrifying way: "Truly I tell you, I do not know you. Keep awake therefore, for you know neither...2023-11-0633 min

Scripture FirstShow Me the Coin | Matthew 22:15-22 with Dr. Chris Croghan & Sarah StensonThe Pharisees plot to entrap Jesus in an impossible to answer question. If Jesus answers one way, He breaks Jewish law by breaking the First Commandment. If He answers the other way, the Roman authorities have grounds to arrest Him. How does Jesus get out of this dilemma? By flipping the accusation on to the Pharisees: show me the coin used for the tax. If Jesus is the one on trial, why do the Pharisees hold the thing He's not supposed to hold? In the end, all of Scripture has been saying that God doesn't want your sacrifice, He...2023-10-1630 min

Scripture FirstA Different Kind of Parable | Matthew 21:33-46 with Sarah StensonIn this week's lectionary text, Jesus continues to address the Pharisees who questioned His authority last week. He tells them a different kind of parable—not a parable of election, but a parable addressing what the Old Testament says about Him. The Pharisees think if they kill Jesus, they'll get rid of the man who is claiming to have the authority of God and they'll be the ones back in charge. But—as you'll hear Sarah Stenson explain—Jesus is explaining one of the most misunderstood phrases in Christianity: that the kingdom of God is not a place. It's a rela...2023-10-0228 min

Scripture FirstHow Do You Use These Keys? | Matthew 18:21-35 with Sarah Stenson & Dr. Chris CroghanIn Adam's farewell episode, we're discussing Peter's natural question after Jesus tells him the definition of the church is to use the office of the keys to bind and loose sin. How often do I have to forgive? Sarah Stenson and Dr. Chris Croghan explain how Jesus forgives Peter's sin and Peter immediately tries to place that forgiveness back in the law. Then Chris and Sarah break down the Parable of Unmerciful Servant ending with the statement, "When you have faith in Christ, you're not looking to get even. Forgiveness just flows out from you." SING T...2023-09-1124 min

Scripture FirstGet Behind Me, Satan! | Matthew 16:21-28 with Sarah StensonFor the first time, Jesus tells His disciples He's going to be killed and be raised from the dead. Understandably, Peter objects, "This must never happen to you," causing Jesus to say to him, "Get behind me, Satan!" Sarah Stenson teaches Adam, Kiri, and Mason how this is Peter's confession of sin. Peter is trying to prevent Jesus from doing what He came to do. He doesn't have faith to respond, "Amen. Thy will be done." Then we explain what Jesus meant in saying, "let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." Denying yourself and...2023-08-2831 min

Scripture FirstShe Keeps Shouting | Matthew 15:21-28 with Dr. Chris Croghan & Sarah StensonAfter dealing with the Pharisees and their cleanliness and righteousness in the law, Jesus enters pagan cities and encounters a Canaanite woman whose daughter is tormented by a demon. Adam and Mason ask Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson, what does it mean the Pharisees thought they were righteous according to the law and why is righteousness a matter of the heart? In His exchanges with His disciples and the woman, Jesus finally says, "It is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." We learn what Jesus meant in saying this: the woman...2023-08-1428 min

Scripture FirstDaily Bread In Abundance | Matthew 14:13-21 with Sarah StensonFeeding the 5000, a miracle story found in all four gospels—Kiri and Mason welcome Sarah Stenson back to Scripture First to break down this famous passage. Sarah teaches us how this story is not a story of the forgiveness of sins; it's a story of how "all ate and were filled." God creates, and gives us daily bread, in abundance. God gives us everything we need to sustain life. With faith, we can be comfortable knowing He is our God. Plus, we discuss how the details in the verses around the main action of this passage describes God's nature an...2023-07-3127 min

Scripture FirstWeeds & Wheat | Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 with Sarah Stenson & Dr. Chris CroghanComing off of last week's passage where the disciples asked Jesus why He speaks in parables, Jesus puts another one to them: the Parable of the Weeds among the Wheat. Sarah Stenson and Dr. Chris Croghan join Adam, Kiri, and Mason to explain what Jesus is getting at in this parable: what election means. Election can be a scary topic. Am I in? Am I out? And as you'll hear in the conversation, God is the one who's choosing who has the ears to hear. God is electing who understands these parables. Keep this in mind amid the weeping...2023-07-1722 min

Scripture FirstMy Yoke Is Easy | Matthew 11:16-19,25-30 with Sarah StensonIn this summer lectionary text, Sarah Stenson joins Kiri Haugen and Mason Van Essen to discuss what it means that Jesus is exclusive in stating, "no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." Then we get the incredibly reassuring verse, "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest," before wrapping up the conversation discussing what Jesus' yoke is and how we are to take it upon ourselves.SING TO THE LORDListen...2023-07-0321 min

Scripture FirstPlagiarizing Jesus | Matthew 10.24-39 with Dr. Chris Croghan & Sarah StensonThis text is packed with well-known verses like: "A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master..." "...but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven." "Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it." Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson lead us in a wide-ranging conversation addressing Adam, Kiri, and my questions that include: What does it mean that God will kill you? How is that related to fearing God? How do you acknowledge or deny Christ...2023-06-1933 min

Scripture FirstMaking Fun of Death | Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26 with Sarah StensonAs you heard in Mason's initial reaction, this week's lectionary text is bonkers. It's absolutely nonsensical. A man asks Jesus to touch his dead daughter to bring her back to life, and—on His way —a woman with hemorrhages touches His cloak to be healed. Once there, Jesus says the girl is just sleeping. People laugh at Him. But, as you'll hear Sarah Stenson teach us in this week's conversation, Jesus came for the sick, not the well. In fact, Jesus didn't comes to make us physically well, He came to end death once and for all. By the end...2023-06-0532 min

Scripture FirstSatan's Power (or Lack Thereof) | Matthew 4:1-11 with Sarah StensonThis week, Adam Guthmiller and Mason Van Essen are joined by Sarah Stenson to discuss this week's lectionary Gospel text: the Temptation of Jesus. Immediately after His baptism, the Holy Spirit drives Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Sarah breaks down the ways Satan tempts Jesus—turning stones to bread, throwing himself off of the temple, and ruling all the kingdoms of the world—and what we can learn from Jesus' responses. In this week's conversation, we also zoom out to ask:Who is Satan?What power does the devil have? ...2023-02-2031 min

Scripture FirstBlessed and Reviled | Matthew 5:1-12 with Sarah StensonFor this week's lectionary reading, we're discussing the Beatitudes. Sarah Stenson teaches us that—when translated—the word beatitudes means state of bliss or supreme joy. Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:What does it mean to be blessed by God? What is the difference between happiness and joy?What does it mean to stand up for your neighbor?Sarah explains that to be blessed is to receive God's benefits. That's important to remember as we make our way through Jesus' teachings: these are not a prescription of how to live, they're a depiction of what God is...2023-01-2333 min

Scripture FirstHow Far Herod Would Go | Matthew 2:13-23 with Dr. Chris Croghan & Sarah StensonIt's the lectionary text after Christmas and it's a difficult one to hear, to preach, and to understand. An angel appears to Joseph in a dream to warn him to take Mary and Jesus and flee to Egypt to save Jesus from being murdered by Herod. What does Herod do when he hears his power is threatened when he hears that the Messiah's been born near Bethlehem? He orders the unfathomable: the slaughter of all children under two years old. Adam, Kiri, and Mason ask Dr. Chris Croghan and Sarah Stenson:How could someone do...2022-12-2630 min

Scripture FirstThunderbolt to the Law | Matthew 11:2-11 with Sarah StensonAfter saying, "Behold, the Lamb of God" and having a front row seat to Jesus' baptism, John the Baptist is in prison and second guessing if Jesus is the Messiah. Sarah Stenson explains how this is a great preaching text because John the Baptist needs a preacher—and so do we. Jesus says in this week's lectionary reading, "This is the one about whom it is written, 'See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' What does it mean to prepare the way? Jesus isn't saying we have ano...2022-12-0527 min
