THE AFTERWORD | Matthew : Season 3 - Week 2

WestGate Church Teaching

First-time podcast guest Andy Barron (lead pastor of our Spanish-speaking congregation Casa de Fe) and Jay Kim join me as we dive into the Jewishness of the phrase “give us this day, our daily bread” - which hearkens back to Exodus and the provision of manna by God in the wilderness to the ancient Hebrew people. The lesson in the wilderness is the same as the invitation in the Lord’s Prayer - God is attempting to get His people to trust Him, not only as their provider, but as a reminder that they were dependent on God as their source of life. We also discuss how to understand this text well when most of us in the Bay Area aren’t at risk for missing a meal - and how not to conflate what we “need” vs. what we “want.” We also attempt to tabulate how many diapers Andy Barron - who is the father of six children - has changed in his lifetime. Speakers: David Tieche + Jay Kim + Andy Barron
