By Whose Authority
Join hosts Bill McMinn and Eric Barfell on the Way to Go Podcast as they explore the profound narrative of “By Whose Authority.”
In this episode, delve into the impactful story of Jesus cleansing the temple, driving out those who exploited it for personal gain. Jesus’s actions demonstrate his commitment to justice, his protection of the marginalized, and his restoration of the temple’s true purpose as a house of prayer.
Discover the power of faith as Jesus encourages his disciples to believe in the transformative potential of prayer and forgiveness. Explore the significance of Jesus’s authority and the challenges he faces from religious leaders who question his actions.
Reflect on the beauty of Jesus’s response to those who challenge his authority, as he redirects their inquiry with wisdom and grace.
Join Bill and Eric as they unpack these themes and invite listeners to consider the authority behind their own actions and decisions.

Barabbas
Join Pastors Bill McMinn and Eric Barfell on the Way to Go Podcast as they delve into the poignant narrative of Barabbas, as depicted in Matthew 27:15-18 and Mark 15:6-13.
During the festival, it was customary for the governor to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. Among the prisoners was Jesus Barabbas, a well-known figure. Pilate, aware of the chief priests’ ulterior motives, offered to release either Jesus Barabbas or Jesus the Messiah. Despite Pilate’s hesitation, the crowd, influenced by the chief priests, demanded the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus.
Barabbas becomes emblematic of substitutionary salvation, as he is spared from death through Jesus taking his place. However, this reprieve is contingent upon belief, highlighting the importance of faith in salvation.
The narrative underscores the human tendency to prefer figures like Barabbas, who cater to our desires, over those like Jesus, who challenge us. It reveals the true motives behind the leaders’ actions – jealousy and fear of losing their position.
Ultimately, the choice between Jesus and Barabbas reflects a broader spiritual dilemma – whether we align ourselves with truth or with what satisfies our desires. The chant to crucify Jesus echoes through history, serving as a stark reminder of humanity’s capacity for brutality and the struggle against sound doctrine.
Pilate’s reluctance to condemn Jesus highlights the moral complexity of the situation and raises questions about societal culpability in unjust actions.
The narrative of Barabbas offers profound insights into themes of substitutionary salvation, human nature, and the choices we make in response to truth. Join Pastors Bill and Eric as they explore these themes and their relevance to contemporary spiritual life on the Way to Go Podcast.

Maturity
Pastor Bill and Eric discuss maturity. It’s not about you, but about building others up. Be considerate and serve others.
Philippians 2:3-4 – 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Romans 14:13-17 – Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. 15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,
Ephesians 4:12-17 – to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

The Common Thread
READ: Genesis 12:1
CHALLENGE: Walk by Faith, not by sight.
A. FAITH IS STRONGER THAN THE BROKEN BRANCHES OF THE FAMILY TREE
1. Faith is Stronger Than the Branch of Dysfunction
Genesis 11:27-30 – This is the account of Terah’s family line. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. And Haran became the father of Lot. 28 While his father Terah was still alive, Haran died in Ur of the Chaldeans, in the land of his birth..
2. Faith Works in the Root of Normal
B. FAITH MOVES FORWARD WITHOUT ALL THE ANSWERS (vv1-4)
V1 – The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;
I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”[b]
4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.
· Faith Moves Us Past Our Comforts
· Moves Us Past What’s Certain
2 Corinthians 5:7 – For we live by faith, not by sight.

Vv2-3 – “I will make you into a great nation,and I will bless you;I will make your name great,and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you,and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
· Promises Are Based in God’s Plan
Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans.
John 3:16 – For God so loved.
1 John 1:9 – If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins.
· Promises Give Us Tremendous Confidence
D. FAITH IS AN ACTION
