Leviticus 27:16-27 (From Creation) - Our Firstborn Brother

It's easy to get caught up in the idea that God is the one tempting us to sin. But that's not the case. In today's episode, we explore the nuances between testing and temptation:
The definition of "temptation" and how it is different from testing.
A discussion of Eve and Jesus, two people who were tempted. One gave in to temptation, the other resisted. 
God gives us a way out of temptation, but we must put on the full armor of God to prepare ourselves for the challenges we'll face.
A discussion of Abraham and Job, who illustrate testing and God's sovereignty. 
Why we can expect to be tested as Christians.

With a mix of biblical teaching and personal stories, this episode will help you navigate the complexities of life as a Christian. If you're looking for a deeper understanding of God's role in your life, and how to distinguish between testing and temptation, this episode is a must-listen.

James 1:12-18 - The Difference Between Testing and Tempting

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/5e27a451-e6e6-4c51-aa03-a7370003783c/clips/995facc7-d5fd-4df3-861d-b47a0147c0ba/transcript

In this episode, Jenn discusses Nehemiah chapter five, where the Israelites are facing internal problems that hinder the rebuilding of the Jerusalem wall:
The mistreatment of the poor by the wealthy and powerful in Jerusalem, who are charging exorbitant interest rates and selling their fellow Jews into bondage. This is a clear violation of the Old Testament laws, which prohibit charging interest to fellow Jews and selling them into slavery.
The divide in Jerusalem - a major concern given the city's already precarious situation.
Nehemiah takes action by calling a meeting with the nobles and rulers and urging them to stop charging interest and selling their fellow Jews into slavery. 
The nobles agree to stop charging interest and restore the people's fields, vineyards, and homes.
