What is covenant faithfulness in marriage and is it still possible today? In this episode Tyler, Maron, and Barry go deeper into week 1 of our new sermon series, First Comes Love. We talk about agape love, marriage as a spiritual act, and what it means to pursue a Christlike covenant today.

In this episode, we dive into the final sermon of Part I of Grace Church’s Follow Me series. Why does Jesus send his disciples out in Matthew 10 with no money, no bag, and instructions to heal the sick and cast out demons? What does it mean to be given authority by Jesus? And how should we understand being “sent” in a world that feels overwhelming and broken? We tackle other topics like: – What does real spiritual authority look like? – Who are the “worthy people” Jesus talks about? – Should modern Christians expect to heal and cast out demons? – And… what does “shake the dust off your feet” mean for us today?

IN THIS EPISODE: Why did Jesus heal people with disabilities and what does that mean for us today? In this episode, Tyler, Maron, and Barry unpack Matthew 9:27–34, where Jesus heals two blind men in a culture that saw disability as shameful. But the story raises deeper questions: Why do healing stories cause discomfort in the modern disability community? If healing is tied to faith, what does that imply for people today who aren’t healed? Why does Jesus sometimes mention forgiving sins and sometimes not? Does physical healing imply something was broken before and how does that affect our theology of wholeness? We also explore the 3 R’s of application from the sermon: Remember those the world has forgotten, Reject the values of our broken world, and Receive the mercy of our Savior. Watch as we dig into ancient shame culture, contractual theology, and how the church can faithfully preach healing without unintentionally reinforcing harmful assumptions. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:09 - What's New with the Gang 00:44 - P

IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode of Between Sundays, Tyler, Maron, and Barry return to the Gospel of Matthew (chapters 8–9) to talk tax collectors, table fellowship, and the transforming power of Jesus’ mercy. What does it mean that Jesus called someone like Matthew, a despised collaborator and social outcast, to follow Him? Why did Jesus share a meal with "sinners and scum"? And what do ancient customs like reclining at the table, status symbols, and mercy over sacrifice still teach us about following Jesus today? We're diving deep into Week 9 of the Follow Me series at Grace Church, unpacking: - Jesus’ absolute authority and radical inclusion - The cultural and spiritual weight of eating together - Why Matthew’s calling is a turning point in God’s new kingdom - Hosea 6:6, mercy vs. sacrifice, and what that means for church today - What it looks like to extend mercy even to the people we judge... or just don't want at our table Plus, we tackle a bunch of big questions: - What makes someone open
