The cruelty and despair of paganism was shattered by the joy and love that sprang forth from the empty tomb. The world was changed forever. But now, in the long aftermath of Christendom, love and joy found in a resurrected Saviour are no longer the guiding principles of the west. Instead, our Post-Christian world prefers to warm itself by the fires of freedom and knowledge. Will freedom of the will and a commitment to scientific knowledge as the ultimate truth bring humanity salvation? I have my doubts. 

Bartimaeus cried out "Son of David! Have mercy on me." He didn't care what people thought or said, he wanted Jesus' help.

Christopher Mark shares with us a helpful tool for Biblical interpretation, a mini-sermon on the great Shema, and leads us in a group discussion about choosing life.

In the book of Numbers, the writer refers to God as one who is "Hot of Nose" no less than 20 times. That's a Hebraism describing a person who is very upset. What's bothering God so much and is there anything that can be learned? 

Is the book of Leviticus messed up? It kind of sounds like it when you read it!
I think this ancient treasure deserves more than the dismissive glances of chronological snobbery.

Is God like a Volcano? Angrily spewing out threats and arbitrary rules? In the back half of the book of Exodus, it seems like it. But I think there is more to God than this. 

Moses delivers a speech for the ages to the children of Israel, and they walk through the sea on dry ground to salvation, but will such bravado ring true in our lives when the waters don't part?

Judah was a messed up dude, but somehow through his line comes the Messiah! That just sounds wrong! or does it? 

Note: Because of technical difficulties the audio version of this talk contains only the final 5 minutes of the sermon. It is, however, a conclusion worth listening to!
