Paul challenges us to die to a life as material and spiritual consumers and live as disciples of Jesus, as servant missionaries.

In Mark 3 we find Jesus redefining both nation and family. In Jesus we are born of God into a new family. Howard explains how the negative influences of our natural families need to be re-parented as we disciple each other as a church family.

When you can love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, then you are stepping beyond mere human forgiveness but you are walking with Jesus, as a disciple of the Great Forgiver.

Is God really God? Howard walks through the Bible showing that Sin, Death and Hell are intrusive invaders into God's good earth. Picking up themes of darkness, separation, and outside the city we find ourselves at the Cross

If we step aside from prejudice and examine the historical / legal evidence for the resurrection of Jesus then we can come to no other verdict than he is risen beyond all reasonable doubt.

Everybody cares who you sleep with! Its just that we disagree about what is sex and who gets to use it. Yet we all know that there is more to sex that skin on skin. Perhaps we all know something more spiritual is being imaged - Jesus's love for his Church.

Howard argues we are to strongly support feminism which affirms the equality of the sexes, but the Triune God shows us you can be equal but have complementary roles. In marriages these roles are cross shaped.

This remarkable story is our story. Ruth shelters under the wings of the God of Israel. Boaz shows Ruth loving kindness because his mother Rahab had be a foreigner and a prostitute who find in Israel God loving kindness. Boaz like Christ takes Ruth under his wings and catches her up in God's big story, as the great grandmother of King David.

All of us, like our first parents, are tempted at one time or another to hide behind the fig leaves of the image we create to cover our shame and the naked truth about us. Dave Bish brilliantly encourages us to be clothed in Jesus, as only in Jesus can we be ourselves and feel no shame.

How should Jesus followers live in a sex saturated world? Ultimately sex images the God you worship. It's either loving relational and self giving or it's all about power, control and self-gratification. The series journeys through Jesus our True Husband, Singleness, Marriage, Pornography, and Sexual Orientation.
