This additional episode to the four-part series Body-Soul-Spirit gathers some additional scriptural insights into this important topic. Here we will discuss the process of salvation - past, present & future - and how it corresponds to the spirit, soul and body. We will also look again at the two Hebrew words for 'soul' and what they reveal about our identity. How do our physical appetites affect our ability to grasp spiritual truths? We address these and other questions in this fascinatin...
Paul describes three kinds of believers: the fleshly believer, the soulish believer, and the spiritual believer. Which one are you? Which one do you want to be? And how do you get there? In this teaching, we look at the scriptural principles that will help us to become the people God wants us to be.

It has been said that we are not human beings on a spiritual journey, but spiritual beings on a human journey. The Scriptures speak often about the human soul and the human spirit. In fact, Hebrew 4:12 states, "For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit…" Why is it important for this division to occur? What is the difference between the soul and the spirit? Should the soul and the spirit always be divided? And wha...
This four-part series covers one of the last understood topics in the Bible. Though the Scriptures discuss the body, soul, and spirit in detail, it is rarely taught upon in most faith communities. The concepts presented here are foundational for a clear understanding of God's work of salvation and restoration of the human being. (The material presented here grew out of a series of teachings first presented at a conference held in Stevens Point, Wisconsin in August 2023.) For more teachings b...

Why must we be commanded by God to choose life? What is the nature of a blessing? Or of a curse? What is so special about the month of Elul as we approach Rosh Hashanah and the High Holly Days?

What is the significance of the four layers of fabrics and skins that covered the Tabernacle? This question has caused a lot of head scratching for interpreters of the Bible.

The altar of incense seems to be the "odd man out" among the Tabernacle furnishings. Why wasn't it described earlier in the Torah when the menorah and table of showbread were introduced? And if each furnishing has a matching piece of furniture, what is the matching piece for the altar of incense? Join us as we discuss this fascinating holy object.

In this discussion of the Tabernacle, we move out to the outer court and address the two items found there - the bronze alter and the laver. What is the significance of these two items? And what spiritual significance do they hold for a disciple of Yeshua? What makes the laver so different from all the other furnishings of the Tabernacle? And what additional item was made for the alter in the book of Numbers? Join us for a lively discussion of these and other topics related to the Tabernacle....
In this episode of our Tabernacle discussions, we examine the table of showbread and the most ornate of all the furnishings - the golden menorah. Everything in the Tabernacle is completely symmetrical except for these two pieces which stand opposite one another. What do these two objects represent and what can we learn from them? There are deep truths contained here for our consideration. So step into the Holy Place with us and let's see what we can discover. For more teachings by Grant Luto...
The Torah's description of the Tabernacle begins with its first two items of "furniture" - the Ark and the Ark Cover. Though we usually think of these as being one item, the Torah treats them as two. Why is that? But this is not the first ark mentioned in the Bible (and neither is Noah's ark, which is a completely different word). Do you know what the first ark is that is mentioned in the Bible? And what is the most important feature of the Ark? And how does the Ark cover picture God's divine...
Why is the subject of the Tabernacle with all its details such a huge topic in the Bible? In fact, no topic in Scripture receives more attention. More than 50 chapters are devoted to it and the Temple! Beginning with this episode of Bread Crumbs, Robin and I have decided to do a deep dive into the Tabernacle and try to unlock its secrets. And why do we call this one "God's Shoe Leather"? Take a listen and find out. For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the notes), visit our website...
Several years ago, the Babylon Bee ran a parody newspaper article "Bible Lacking Sinner's Prayer Returned For Full Refund". The point they were trying to make is that what we proclaim as 'The Gospel' is quite different from what is actually found in the Bible. So, how exactly does the Bible define 'The Gospel'? Join us for a lively discussion that, we hope, will help you realize that the Gospel is even better news that we have been led to believe. For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to pr...
What is the difference between a brick and a stone? One can be substituted for the other. Right? (This is what the builders of the Tower of Babel did.) But in the Bible, it seems that God has an aversion for bricks. And, of course, the Israelites in Egypt did, too! Join our discussion about the spiritual lessons bricks and stones hold for us, and discover the profound connection between the Tower of Babel and the New Jerusalem. For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the notes), visi...
Everyone knows the story of Noah and the Ark. But there are some details of the story that you may have missed, like the release of the raven, and then the dove, and then the dove again, and then the dove a third time. What is this all about? And what is God trying to teach us through this account of the birds? And what connection does Noah’s ark have with the Tabernacle? Join us for a lively discussion of these and other topics. For more teachings by Grant Luton (and to print the notes), vi...
Throughout the Bible, the olive tree, the fig tree, and the grapevine are used as symbols of God's people. But why have these three (and a few others) when one should do?! Join us for a fascinating discussion of the unique properties of these three species of plant and the lessons that each has to teach us about our own lives and walk with God.

Our relationships are the only things we take from this world into the next. In this episode of Bread Crumbs, Robin and I discuss the only three real relationships a person can have, how they relate to one another, and how to keep them healthy.

Do you find yourself fighting clutter in your living space? This is a familiar battle for many in this modern world. But do you also find your soul equally as cluttered? You may never have paused to think about it, but thoughts, emotions, urgencies, and myriad other things can clutter our souls to the point it is difficult to think straight and to find inner peace. Robin brings her years of experience as a home stager, professional organizer and redesigner to the topic of 'soul clutter' as we...
