Devotions in the Deep End episodes

  • Episode 30: Ask, Seek and Knock

    This is a shorter episode that looks at a special invitation from Jesus to engage with God and be open to His gift of the Holy Spirit.  This is the first of a series of shorter episodes as we come to the end of the Sermon on the Mount.

  • Episode 29: Jesus on Judgement

    Matthew 7:1 gets quoted often, and is probably one of the better known verses in the world around us.  In this episode, Cam takes a look at this verse with the aim of ensuring we understand what judgement is and how to avoid going down that path, but also offering a way forward where others still have the ability to speak into our lives in healthy ways.

  • Episode 28: Treasures In Heaven
    In this episode Cam looks at how an 'eternal perspective' is lived out, with the substance of our lives (ie: our wallets and what they represent) being one major way this is expressed.  This is a message that looks heavily at money because Jesus is pretty explicit about that part; but at the same time it addresses other areas such as worry and faith and God's overall concern for us.

  • Episode 27: Acts of Righteousness Pt 3 - Prayer, Forgiveness & Fasting
    In this episode, Cam takes some time looking at what Jesus has to say about prayer beyond the initial 'framework' of the Lord's Prayer.  We'll soon see that there are some big challenges about how we relate to God, how we relate to each other and how these are somewhat intertwined in our prayer.  After these challenges, Cam takes a brief look at the subject of fasting as a devotional practise.

  • Episode 26: Acts of Righteousness Pt 2 - "When You Pray"
    Welcome to the first episode for 2021!  In this episode, Cam explores some ideas that come out of Jesus' teaching on the practice and attitude of prayer.  This includes some thoughts on the well-known and often recited "Lord's Prayer."  As the year begins, perhaps this could be a great episode to help you recharge your prayer habits!

  • Episode 25: Acts of Righteousness Pt 1 - "When You Give"
    We are still exploring the Sermon on the Mount and starting to look at a bit of a theme that will be in play for the next few episodes.  'Acts of Righteousness' were some of the standard devotional practises of the Jews in the days of Christ.  Obviously he felt they were good things and he offers a way for those following him to observe them, but we also see that there is a very wrong way to go about these things as well.  This episode looks at the devotional practise of giving to others.
    I also apologise for taking a bit longer than planned in getting this out.  In the last couple of weeks our state has had a number of changes with COVID restrictions which kind of derailed other plans for a little bit there!  We're back no track for weekly content once again!

  • Episode 24: Love Your Enemies
    A challenging message from Jesus here about the way we respond to the treatment and persecution of others.  Love, prayer and generosity are to be the radical response!  I hope this is a useful episode for you!
    17 min
  • Episode 23: Jesus on Marriage & Divorce
    This is a more complex topic to discuss as we consider the words of Jesus in the world today.  Marriage is clearly valued in scripture, and clearly Jesus is among those promoting them sticking together, but there are also times where this is just not possible.  It's my prayer that all those listening to this episode get a sense of clarity - that we must not see marriage as a cheap commodity in any way; but also that we see grace in place for those times where the 'ideal' is not our reality.     
    I apologise for the delay in getting this episode out, but as you might expect I wanted to give some serious thought to it before it was published.  Even now it feels like there will be things unanswered, and I will welcome engagement on this topic through my facebook page!

  • Episode 22 - Jesus on Oaths and Vows
    This is a pretty simple idea and only a short episode, but there is a back story to what Jesus says in these verses which is worth noting.  Also, this is presented around another incredibly important topic that will be covered next time!!
    9 min
  • Episode 21: Jesus on Lust and Adultery
    In this episode, we continue to explore this theme in the Sermon on the Mount where righteousness should 'exceed that of the Pharisees.'  Again, Jesus is vocal about the heart and what is contained there, and lust and adultery is in his sights in this passage!  Please note that although there is nothing explicit in this episode, there are be things you might want to filter from younger ears!
