For the first time on Scripture First, we welcome Luther House of Study&apos;s newest professor, Nick Hopman, to the podcast to discuss a passage in Luke where Jesus heals a woman of a spirit that had crippled her for 18 years. The leader of the synagogue takes issue with Jesus&apos; actions because he healed her on the sabbath.Nick breaks down what is the law, how Jesus&apos; Word brings a permanent end to the law, and how the law isn&apos;t replaced with a new law but with faith in Christ. Kiri, Adam and Mason ask:<ul><li>How do you praise God? </li><li>Why is it &quot;bad&quot; that Jesus healed on the sabbath?</li><li>What does it mean to be put to shame?</li></ul>Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?

Your Place at the Wedding Banquet | Luke 14:1,7-14 with Lars Olson

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.
