1 Kings 21:1-29 ‘Naboth’s Vineyard’ is not a great chapter heading. But this chapter is not actually about vineyards. It’s about injustice. It’s as up-to-date and relevant as George Floyd and Jeffrey Epstein and Asia Bibi, and the lives of millions in our world today.
Philippians 1:12-18 Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years, yet had a powerful impact even from there because of the power of proximity. Proximity is something the apostle Paul made the most of as well for the advance of the gospel – and we can too, in our workplaces and neighbourhoods. (This talk is by Musa, one of the Barge Mission Partners, who pastors a church in Soweto).
Genesis 4:1-24 “It is the best-known story in the world, because it is everybody’s story. It is the symbol story of the human soul. The story of mankind”.

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 What is Real Christianity?

Luke 6:17-26 Jesus can be billed as the solution to all our problems. But how should we cope when he seems to cause more problems than he solves? Would we be better off without him? Listen in to Jesus’ beatitudes as he sets out the true path to blessing and the true path to woe.

Exodus 5:1-7:7 In Russia under Stalin millions of people ended up in labour camps. In present-day N.Korea, tens of thousands are in labour camps. But the labour camp is not a modern invention. They had them in Ancient Egypt too. But what’s it got to do with us?
