John 8:58 The problem with time is that it is finite. We only have so much of it. Rich people can’t buy more hours; scientists can’t invent more minutes. And all too soon our time will be up. We’re trapped in time, finite but longing for the infinite. We need more than time management gurus. We need Jesus, who said, ‘Before Abraham was, I am’.
Jonah 4:1-11 Hypocrisy really gets to us; and religious hypocrisy can be the worst of all. Listen in to Jonah 4 as God challenges someone very happy with God’s mercy to him, but very unhappy with God giving mercy to others.
John 11:25-26 Freud was onto something when he said ‘No-one really believes in their own death’. But we will all die one day. If only there were someone who had the power to stand up to death, and take it on, and defeat it, and save us from it. But who would dare to claim they had that kind of power? Jesus did. Listen in as we continue to look at his astonishing ‘I am’ claims.
Jonah 3v1-10 Sometimes we’re given warnings that are overblown and over-cautious (think: ‘caution, may contain nuts’). But some warnings need us to sit up and take note. Listen in to this warning from Jonah – to Nineveh, and ultimately to us.
John 15:1-17We only live once – YOLO as the slogan goes. This isn’t a dry-run. This is it. And so we all want to make the most of it. But how do we do that? How do we make our lives count for something? What is a successful life? Jesus tells us as he teaches about himself being the true vine.
2 Timothy 3:10-4:8The world has a Saviour, but it needs proclaimers who will tell them what the Word says.
2 Timothy 2:20-3:9There is honourable ministry and dishonourable ministry. It’s important to know the difference, so that we might be useful to the Master.
2 Timothy 2:1-19God calls us to guard the gospel by passing it on to others. And that means that the training agenda needs to be the agenda of the local church.
2 Timothy 1:3-18This letter of 2 Timothy is all about two gospels, two loves, and two models of ministry.
John 14:6 For many people their biggest problem with Christianity can be summed up in one word: ‘exclusivity’ – the claim that Jesus is the only way to God. How could he make such a claim? Was he right? And how can anyone believe that in our multi-religious society?
