Isaac is named among the 3 patriarchs, but in reality, his story is pretty unremarkable. Anything of note in his life is just a repeat of what has been done before by Abraham. But God uses the ordinary actions of ordinary people to carry out His extraordinary plan of blessing to the world.

How should we respond to the topic of abortion? How can I practically walk through seasons of famine and failure?

God blesses Isaac despite his circumstances (famine) and his sin. The cross is the ultimate example of God bringing blessing and forgiveness through adversity and through (and because of) sin.

In season 12 episode 1 of Livelunch we are joined with Matt Carvel, Yohaan Philip, and Matt Davis discussing our latest sermon 'How A Bowl of Lentil Stew Changed Everything' from our current teaching series 'The Promise Endures'.

Easu rejects his birthright for a bowl of lentil stew. But the revelation of the wonder of Christ is key to resisting the temptation to go after other things.

Both Abraham's servant and Rebekah are examples of faithfulness, pointing us to the true Faithful Servant who said, ‘not My will but Yours’

We see how God orchestrates and works through the normal circumstances of life for His higher purposes.

As we begin to look to the future post-pandemic, optimism can be checked by the reality of war, financial challenges and a sense of false dawn. The end of the pandemic hasn't solved all our problems.

But there is hope.

At first blush, James’ compassionate last words might seem at odds with the robust way he has spoken to hypocrites (echoing his older brother) and called them to account for their double standards. What is different here? A ‘wanderer’ is not a hypocrite pure-and-simple, not seemingly a self-deceived pride-filled God-hater but rather a bruised reed (and we know how the Lord feels about those…)

In season 11 episode 9 of Livelunch we are joined with Matt, Yohaan, and Sophie discussing our latest sermon 'Resilient in Community' from our current teaching series 'Resilient'.
