In our last Bible talk for the year, we round of Paul's three chapter explanation of why, at the current time, Israel has rejected the gospel.

This week we learn that the greatest thing we could possess, the salvation of our souls, is the only thing we cannot earn. We must receive it by faith.

It's our final week at Leaders Training. Today we discuss what it looks like to finish well in Leading the Group, and we round off our study of Hebrews by pulling apart Hebrews 13 in Teaching the Text.

This week we begin a new section of Paul's argument in Romans. In Romans 9-11, Paul answers the question: what happened to the Jews? Why haven't they believed? The answer, at least today? So that God's purpose of election in salvation may continue.

This week in Leading the Group we discuss the importance of prayer. In Teaching the Text we grapple with the suffering caused by sin and how we should respond.

This week we discuss how to grow a helpful group culture in Leading the Group, and discuss faith in Teaching the Text. Brodie also calls Matt a bludger.

This week we discover how the assurance of the gospel enables us to persevere through present suffering to future glory.

This week we learn why Paul tells us to "break up" with the Law if we are to live the righteous life that pleases God.

This week Brodie responds to Matt's "Ode to Brodie", we talk pastoral care in Leading the Group, and tackle Jesus' sanctifying sacrifice in Teaching the Text.

This week on Leading the Group we look at the importance of consolidating discussion and summarising the study at the end. In Teaching the Text we look at Hebrews 8-9 and discover that it is only the covenant that Jesus mediates that can definitively deal with our sin.
