Some systematic theologies claim that when God passes through the divided sacrifice it foreshadows Christ's sacrificial death. But does the text actually teach that? In this episode we examine the covenant ritual, how the New Testament uses Genesis 15, and why forcing the passage into a Christ-typology may obscure what the chapter is really about. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/theologycentral/sermons/36261838424613 Religion & Spirituality Fri, 06 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Various Speakers 1:12:46 no Various Speakers - Systematic Theology https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/theologycentral/sermons/36261444303 Matthew 5:31–32 is one of the most debated and emotionally charged passages in the entire Sermon on the Mount.

But when read carefully, the passage reveals something far more unsettling: Jesus is not adding a new sin alongside murder—He is redefining what murder actually is. Anger, contempt, and condemnation are exposed as murder at the heart level, killing without blood. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/theologycentral/sermons/3126182905287 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 01 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Various Speakers 0:50:55 no Various Speakers - The Hell Question https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/theologycentral/sermons/22826195537136 In this episode, we slow down and work carefully through Matthew 5:22, one of Jesus' earliest uses of the word Gehenna. As part of our commitment to examine every passage that speaks to judgment after death—without skipping anything, we ask a simple but often neglected question: what does this verse actually say, and what does it not say? https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/theologycentral/sermons/22826195537136 Religion & Spirituality Sat, 28 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Various Speakers 1:06:00 no Various Speakers - The Hell Question https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/theologycentral/sermons/226261828315850 What is the church actually saying to teenagers at youth rallies?

Instead of repeating the familiar claim that "the ark is a picture of Christ," this episode follows Peter's actual argument and shows that he does something far stranger: he connects the floodwaters to baptism.

In this episode, we walk through Ruth 2:4–7 as Boaz arrives at his fields, notices a stranger, and asks a simple question that begins to shift the direction of the story. We watch how the narrator introduces Boaz, how Ruth is described by others before she ever speaks, and how nothing is resolved yet—only observed. This is not the moment of redemption. It is the quiet beginning of attention, recognition, and possibility, set in the middle of ordinary labor. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/theologycentral/sermons/114262334534021 Religion & Spirituality Wed, 14 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000 Various Speakers 1:09:11 no Various Speakers - The Ruth Problem?
