Summary

"In the modern era, we tend to think about freedom as freedom to do what I want or to be what I want. Freedom means a complete lack of strictures and regulations. But the Jewish conception of freedom was very different." Freedom is one of the fundamental concepts that shape our world. It's one of our highest values. It's what many people live and die for. But what if we've gotten it wrong?

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're
0:14.7	learning what it looks like to follow Jesus by working our way through the
0:18.4	Gospel of Luke. Several years ago I had the opportunity to do a archaeological tour of Israel.
0:26.0	That might sound cool to you or super lame.
0:28.0	It's besides the point I loved it.
0:30.0	And one of my favorite places that we visited was called Magdala.
0:34.3	Now that name might sound a little bit familiar to you if you've ever heard of Jesus'
0:38.2	disciple Mary Magdalene or we might say Mary of Magdala because that's where she was from. Now this small town was
0:46.0	on the coast of the Sea of Galilee and it was almost certainly among the many
0:51.2	towns that Jesus visited during his ministry because he was an itinerant
0:55.9	preacher and healer. Luke writes that after Jesus' temptation, this is what happened.

1:12.1	in their synagogues and everybody praised him.
1:15.0	I couldn't help but think of this passage and others like it when I visited Magdala

1:25.6	It was a surreal experience.
1:27.4	I was standing in a synagogue that Jesus probably preached in.
1:31.8	In many ways that synagogue was different than I expected. Most
1:35.5	synagogues in Galilee were built with basalt, which meant that they were made
