The Public Reading of Scripture

In this episode, Gabriel Rutledge explores the life and legacy of John Wycliffe — the “Morning Star of the Reformation” — and his conviction that the Word of God should be read and understood by every believer. Through historical insight and biblical reflection, we uncover how Wycliffe’s translation of the Bible into English and his call for public Scripture reading became an antidote to doctrinal error and heresy in a time when truth was confined to the clergy.

We’ll examine how communal reading of Scripture not only preserves theological integrity but also revives faith, exposes false teaching, and re-centers God’s people on His Word. This message reminds us that when the Bible is hidden, error thrives—but when it’s proclaimed aloud, light breaks through darkness.

Key themes:

The historical impact of John Wycliffe’s translation work

Why public reading of Scripture matters in every generation

How biblical literacy safeguards the Church from deception

Parallels between medieval and modern challenges to truth

Ki Tetzei 5785 - Gleaning Grace: How Israel’s Harvest Feeds the Nations

This episode journeys through Deuteronomy and related Scripture to explain the Torah portion Ki Teitzei, focusing on the laws of leket (gleaning) and the three harvest gifts—grain, olive oil, and wine. It traces how these symbols represent God’s provision, Israel’s obedience, and the invitation of the nations into a covenant relationship, with illustrations from Ruth, the prophets, and the New Testament.

Takeaways include approaching Scripture with humility and gratitude, responsibly sharing material blessings with Israel and the needy, and living as covenant witnesses who invite others to the Redeemer.

Reeh 5785: Sacred Roman Meat and Eating Clean

In this week’s teaching on Parashat Re’eh, we explore how Moses sets clear distinctions between clean and unclean foods in Deuteronomy 14, and why these instructions remain vital for Messianic believers today. We then turn to Romans 14, a chapter often misunderstood as abolishing food laws. Instead, Paul is addressing a very specific cultural issue: the prevalence of sacred meat sacrificed to Roman gods and sold in the marketplace.

By understanding the Roman world—where nearly all meat passed through pagan temples—we see that Paul’s words are not about negating Torah’s dietary instructions, but about avoiding judgment and division in the community when believers wrestled with questions of conscience regarding idol-sacrificed food. Rather than dismissing Deuteronomy’s food laws, Paul affirms them by pointing his audience back to love, unity, and holiness in the Messiah.

This episode challenges us to re-read Romans 14 in its historical and cultural context, recognizing that Paul was dealing with idolatry and community tension—not overturning God’s eternal standards of clean and unclean foods.

 

Ekev 5785: Three Keys to Spiritual Revival

In this teaching, we will explore three examples and unpack what that means for us today. We will enumerate three keys that a people group must possess to experience a spiritual renewal or revival.
