The Radical Gospel (Galatians 1:11-24) - Audio
27/06/2021 Duración: 31minWe observe the radical nature of the gospel as seen in the transformation of Paul from zealous persecutor of the church to preaching to the Gentiles.
-
A Weedy Heart (Matthew 14:1-13) - Audio
20/06/2021 Duración: 40minAn examination of the heart of Herod the Tetrarch. We see that he is a conflicted man in that while he respects and fears John the Baptist he also wants to kill him for saying that it was not lawful for Herod to have his brother Philip's wife. We find that our hearts are often full of weeds that conflict and choke out holiness and sanctification.
-
Hometown "Hero" (Matthew 13:53-58) - Audio
13/06/2021 Duración: 38minJesus goes to his hometown of Nazareth and teaches. There he marveled at then ultimately rejected by the people he grew up knowing. We find that familiarity can lead to contemptment, that in our own lives sometimes consistent love for Christ becomes a numb behavior and even gets left off for other "more important" things.
-

The Kingdom of God [Pt 2] (Matthew 13:1-52) - Audio
23/05/2021 Duración: 39minWe continue to look at some of the parables that Jesus used to describe the Kingdom of God. Here we find that the Kingdom has small beginnings and that the growth is slow but sure, that the roots go deep. Secondly it is seen that the Kingdom is worth everything and should hold the highest priority in our lives, above family, friends, properties, anything.
-
The Kingdom of God (Matthew 13:1-52) - Audio
16/05/2021 Duración: 52minJesus tells many parables showing what the Kingdom of God is like. We see that the Kingdom did not come in the ways that many expected, but rather it is obscured and at times hard to discern. We see that while there are many who claim to be Christians, Christ tells us that only some "seeds fell on good soil and produced grain."
-
The Desperate Search (Ecclesiastes 2:1-11) - Audio
09/05/2021 Duración: 44minWe take a look at the life of Solomon and the pursuit of all his desires and how they ended up only a striving after the wind. We find that nothing in this world will be totally satisfactory, fulfilling us ceaselessly. From this we know that only the worship and praise of God will bring us eternal satisfaction.
-
Jesus' Family Tree (Matthew 12:46- 50) - Audio

Jonah 1 - Audio
28/03/2021 Duración: 40minJonah flees from the Lord in a rejection of His word. In many ways we can see ourselves in the actions of Jonah in that we often object to the word of God and deceive ourselves thinking we are still being obedient.
-
A Taste for the Right Yeast (Matthew 12:15-21) - Audio
21/03/2021 Duración: 36minWe take a look at the differences in the gospel of the pharisees and the gospel of Jesus. We see that the ministry of Christ is radically different than the ministry of the pharisees in that Jesus seeks to please God and is gentle while the pharisees, and often ourselves, are harsh and seek to please people.

He pronounces judgment on the cities that remain indifferent to him in spite of all his works. Even so he offers to take on our burdens and give us an easy yoke.
-
A View to Behold (Ephesians 1:15 - 23) - Audio
21/02/2021 Duración: 29minPaul gives us a wonderful view of the gospel and through that, encourages us to remain steadfast for Christ, even during times of tribulation. We are admonished here also to 'keep the main thing the main thing' and not to think ourselves superior or beyond the gospel but to press into it in faith.
-
Doubting Castle (Matthew 11:1-15) - Audio
14/02/2021 Duración: 37minWe find here a passage that shows John the Baptist in a doubtful state. There is some encouragement here seeing that even the strongest of Christians experience times of doubting. However, we are not to stay in the dungeon of doubting but are to remember our highest hope, setting our expectations in proper orientation, looking to Christ and his promises.
-
