  • Q&A: Tackling your toughest Bible questions!
    Thank you to those of you who asked us your toughest Bible questions at last summer’s New Wine festival! In this episode we explore them together.  From the credibility of the creation story, to whether there will be a sea in heaven; from Bezalel and Oholiab’s abilities, to whether Jesus can lie or die; from who wrote the Bible and when, to how we know when to take it literally and whether it’s possible to reconcile the God of the Old Testament with the God of the New Testament, we tackle your questions.  Join us on the journey as we dive into the Scriptures, explore the issues together and share our thoughts. Please note that we don’t claim to have all the definitive answers or that we’ll get everything right. We won’t always come to complete agreement. We aim to take a humble approach because we believe that being able to ask questions and discuss them together is a healthy aspect of Christian community that can help us to grow in wisdom and understanding, faith and confidence. Timestamps(00:00) - Send us your questions (00:50) - Is the creation story real or is it just a parable?

  • God's value system – Parables E3
    What do the parables tell us about the value system of God's Kingdom?In this episode we look at God's value system as illustrated through Jesus' parables. We begin by touching on the big story of Scripture, exploring how humans have inverted kingdom values and the call to make sure God is on the throne in our lives and our values align with his. Then we explore the parables about the workers in the vineyard, the unforgiving servant, and the rich man and Lazarus. We draw lessons from them about God’s generosity, compassion, grace and justice, as well as considering the radical nature of these values and the implications for how we live our lives today.
