Luke 18:1-8 The world, the flesh and the devil constantly tempt us to lose heart and give up on Christ. But this passage is an encouragement to keep persevering in prayer, to keep crying out because it won’t always be this way. Jesus is coming back and when he does he will establish his kingdom with justice.
Jeremiah 25:3-16 In 2011 Pastor Rob Bell released a New York Times best-seller called “Love Wins”. In his book he calls into question the traditional Christian teaching about the existence of hell, and one of the objections he brings is that it’s unjust for people “to suffer in eternal agony because they didn’t believe in the Jesus they never heard of.” Listen in as we consider this highly emotive and crucial topic.
Luke 17:20-37 A game changer is something so big, so impactful, that it changes the landscape. The return of Jesus is a game changer. It certainly will be when it happens, for all of us, but it should also be a game changer in our lives now once we grasp its significance.
Ephesians 2:11-22 The world is full of conflict, whether religious or atheistic. But Jesus Christ promises a way to genuine peace – the security, wholeness and harmony of what is called ‘shalom.’ Be prepared to be provoked and inspired by the one they call the Prince of Peace.
Exodus 25-31, 35-40What is the point of life? Some say there is no point, no design, no purpose. Others say there’s just the meaning we give to life. Others still say there is an ultimate purpose. But where do we find it? In an unlikely place. In a tent in the desert in the Middle East in 1500BC.
John 2:1-12The first miracle Jesus did was to turn 210 litres of ordinary water into the very best wine. Apart from rescuing a wedding reception from social disaster, what was the point? And what relevance does it have with life today?
Exodus 33-34A close encounter of the third kind is one thing, but what about a close encounter of the God kind? Moses certainly had some pretty impressive experiences, but what about us? What kind of experience of God should we seek and expect today?
John 1:14 Sigmund Freud famously claimed that belief in God is just a projection of our childhood need to have the love and protection of a father-figure. Does it matter if he was right? What evidence is there that he was wrong?
Exodus 32 Sometimes it can be very tempting to reshape God until he’s more in line with our preferences. Listen in as Israel make that mistake and build a Golden Calf.
