Searching the Scriptures #45: Natives and Strangers

Schedules got crazy, and Terry and I weren't able to sync up to record a new episode, but I didn't want to leave you hanging for too long, so here's my offering: a recording of my inaugural sermon for the Disciples of Yeshua Congregation. (I fill the roles of overseer and lead teacher for DOYC, a new home fellowship based in Central Texas.)

During this sermon, you'll learn about the four Hebrew words that describe classifications of people: natives (Strong's H249), strangers (H2114), immigrants (H1616), and foreigners (H5237). Most English translations fail to make clear distinctions between strangers, immigrants, and foreigners, but it's important that we understand the distinctions as a Hebrew would, because God's laws and expectations differ between each of these groups.
