Did you know that the Bible was written by 40 different authors over a time span of 1500 years?! Have you ever wondered how the 66 books of the Bible fit together as ONE book? In this episode, Kirst takes us on a big picture fly through the Bible, helping us to see just a tiny bit more clearly how the Bible points to Jesus as Saviour. Knowing how the  Bible fits together as one book is so illuminating and will change the way you view and read the Bible.

Well if you're like us, you would have been incredibly challenged by what the Bible has to say on greed, gluttony, slothfulness, pride, anger, envy and lust.  This has been a big series and so we have come to the end and realised we missed a few key points for some of the sins plus we thought we'd review what we learnt and spend some time thinking about how to realistically apply killing off these sins in our lives and how to encourage others to do the same! Thank the Lord for His Spirit, who helps us become more in step with what He wants and less with what we want. Enjoy!

Lust is a secret and pervasive sin that can eat at our hearts, mind and soul and impact all areas of our lives. More so, when left unchecked it creates a ongoing shame & guilt cycle that is hard to overcome without the right community and support. Cass tackles various aspects in this episode including;
* Biblical understanding of Lust vs worldly understanding
* how historically the church has responded poorly
* Psychology behind lust & other sexual addictions
* Porn industry & impacts
* the need for more Grace then ever before
* how to seek help & support
* how to help those struggling with Lust/sexual addition

This isn’t a little topic. You have been warned. But it’s a topic & sin we need to be discussing more as the Church so we can help and support eachother out of it.  Also watch this space, later this year we will be releasing a whole series on Porn, Sexual addition & love addictions.

Pride is something that we ALL struggle with. At the heart of pride is us wanting to build up our own kingdom, rather than building God's Kingdom. In this episode, Kirst unpacks Luke 18:9-14, where Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and how they understood their sin before God. It is a truly humbling passage. Kirst also shares a true story of pride and humility, landing us thinking through where pride can take us (away from Jesus!) and where humility can take us (nearer to Jesus!).

In this episode we explore the topic of Wrath/Anger and the many faces and ways in which it plays out. A topic none of us can ignore and which all of us can resonate with on some level. Anger when left unchecked can be devastating but the Bible is clear that we can and should control it, so why should we and how can we?

Wether it's a physical thing or something else that we are craving more of, greed is something that we ALL struggle with in some BIG or small way (mostly big)!
