What is the church’s purpose?The Scripture First team welcomes Dr. Chris Croghan (Luther House of Study’s Co-Director) to the podcast to teach us about this week’s lectionary text on naming and forgiving sin.In the conversation Adam, Kiri, and Mason ask: What does it mean there&apos;s sin in the church? How is “It’s ok” different than “You’re forgiven?&quot; What’s the significance of Jesus promising to be with us when two or three are gathered in his name? <a rel="payment" href="https://www.lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate">Support the Show.</a>Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

Are We The Unforgiving Servant? | Matthew 18:21-35 with Sarah Stenson

Three millennials sit down with Lutheran theologians to understand how Scripture is working in our lives. God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, sin, faith, forgiveness, Luther, and more are on the table as Mason Van Essen, Kiri Haugen, and Adam Guthmiller discuss each week's upcoming lectionary Bible passage with Luther House of Study's theologians to hear the context in and around Scripture before it's preached in church.
