Dublin Bible Talks

What conclusion should we draw from the resurrection of Jesus?

This week after Easter we explore the clear message proclaimed by the earliest Christian witnesses: Jesus Christ was raised from the dead as proof that he will judge the world.

Drawing on Peter’s words to Cornelius (Acts 10) and Paul’s speech at the Areopagus (Acts 17), we uncover the significance of the resurrection through the lens of Old Testament expectations:

• God’s just judgment
• the promised Davidic King
• and the Son of Man given all authority.

This is not a side-topic for the curious—it is a demand for all people, everywhere, to repent. Because the day has been set. Jesus has been appointed.

His resurrection proves it.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can be sure of your relationship with God, this is the place to start.

In Romans 5:8–9 we discover the surprising timing of God’s love—while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Join us as we unpack two small words that carry life-changing truth: “while” and “now.”

We’re quick to condemn the brokenness of the world—but Romans 2 turns the spotlight on us. This week in the Dublin Bible Talks we uncover the shocking truth that our moral outrage often masks the very same sin in our own hearts. Paul dismantles our excuses with four truths about God that demonstrate no one is immune.

But in exposing the problem, God also points us to the only solution—a just, merciful Saviour who has dealt with sin fully, finally, and forever.

What does it mean that God is Holy?

It means that Jesus had to die!

Podcast Summary:

In this episode, we dive into Isaiah 6 and explore the overwhelming holiness of God. Isaiah’s vision confronts us with the majesty and purity of the Lord, shaking our assumptions about ourselves and our sin. As we see Isaiah undone before God’s glory, we’re reminded that only God can cleanse… and the result is enthusiastic speaking of His message. This Easter, we reflect on how Christ’s sacrifice bridges the gap between our sinfulness and God’s holiness. Join us as we unpack the weight of God’s presence, our need for grace, and the hope we have in Jesus.

What do you look for in a leader?

In one Samuel chapter 16 we find that God sees differently to how we see.

Podcast Summary:

What makes a great leader? We often judge by appearance—height, confidence, success. But in 1 Samuel 16, God reveals that He sees differently. While the people chose Saul, a leader who looked the part but failed to obey, God had set his heart on someone else—a king of his own choosing.

This passage doesn’t just point us to David, but to Jesus, God’s ultimate chosen King. Will we keep seeing things through human eyes, or will we submit to God’s way of seeing? Join us as we explore the King God sees—the only one truly worth following.

What does God want?

Surely doing religious things is going to impress him, turn things around or maybe pay him back.

The second half of one Samuel 15 shows us it doesn’t work this way.

Podcast Summary:

What does God really want from us?

Saul thought sacrifice would cover his disobedience, but 1 Samuel 15 exposes sin’s deception—blinding us to our own failure, shifting blame, and making excuses.

Saul’s downfall wasn’t just poor leadership; it was a rejection of God’s word. His failure reminds us that human leaders will always fall short.

But it also points us to the King who obeyed where Saul failed—Jesus, whose sacrifice was not a cover for disobedience, but the ultimate act of obedience.

Join us as we unpack Saul’s tragic end and the hope of a better King.

Forgetfulness of God is an awful thing, especially for the King of God's people... and making up for it with a rash oath. just digs deeper!

Podcast Summary:

In 1 Samuel 15, Saul’s failure to fully obey God’s command led to his downfall. His story forces us to confront the seriousness of sin, the reality of God’s judgment, and the danger of selective obedience.

While Saul’s mission was to carry out divine justice, the New Testament makes clear that final judgment belongs to Jesus alone. Until He returns, our role is not to bring judgment but to proclaim the gospel—calling people to repentance before it’s too late.

Are we obeying that command? Or are we softening Scripture to fit our comfort? Join us as we wrestle with God’s justice, Christ’s mercy, and the urgent task of evangelism.

Forgetfulness of God is an awful thing, especially for the King of God's people... and making up for it with a rash oath. just digs deeper!

Podcast Summary:

Saul was the king the people asked for —but time and again, his leadership exposed his failures. In 1 Samuel 14, he makes a reckless oath, starving his own men, condemning his own son, and ultimately proving that his real battle wasn’t against the Philistines.

We might shake our heads at Saul’s foolishness, but aren’t we just like him? Forgetting God, trusting in ourselves, making up our own rules, and then blaming others when things go wrong?

Join us as we unpack the tragedy of Saul, the reality of our own hearts, and the hope of a better King.

Leadership is a complex job. What qualities are essential?

And what about leadership of God's people?

Podcast Summary:

What makes a great leader? The world values decisiveness, strength, and strategy.

While Saul hesitates under a pomegranate tree, Jonathan climbs a rocky cliff. One trusts in numbers, the other in God. The result? Panic in the Philistine camp, a victory no man could claim, and a powerful glimpse of the kind of leader we truly need.

Join us as we unpack this dramatic account—and see how it ultimately points us to the one leader who fully trusted and obeyed: King Jesus.Join us as we dive into 1 Samuel 13 and wrestle with what it really means to trust God.

Why does the New Testament use war as a metaphor for Christian life and mission?

The background must be the Old Testament - like what we find in 1 Samuel 11.

Podcast Summary:

Podcast Teaser – Saul the Fool: What Real Foolishness Looks Like

What if being a fool isn’t about a lack of smarts but something much deeper?

In 1 Samuel 13, Saul, Israel’s first king, makes a decision that seems completely reasonable—one that most of us would probably make too. But God calls it foolish. Why?

In this episode, we unpack what real foolishness looks like—not just for Saul, but for us. And we’ll see how this story points us to the only King who was never a fool.

Join us as we dive into 1 Samuel 13 and wrestle with what it really means to trust God.
