BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN // Mark 8:14-26

What did Jesus mean by the 'leaven' of the Pharisees and the 'leaven' of Herod? And why is it that He had to heal the blind man in two stages? Sam helps us to understand this text.

THE NAMES OF GOD // ELOHIM

The very first verse of the very first book in the Bible calls God by the name of Elohim. In the Hebrew language this name is actually in the plural! Does this mean that initially the Hebrews worshipped more than one God? And what does this name tell us about the God of the Bible and His relationship to us? We delve in.

SIGNS // Mark 8:1-13

Jesus feeds the 4000, but how are His disciples still in unbelief about who He is? How is it that the Pharisees demand a sign when all Jesus has been doing is performing signs. We take a look.

Mind Matters with Lynne Phillips

THE NAMES OF GOD // YHWH

We begin our new series looking at the Hebrew names of God, what they tell us about our God and also what they promise to us as His children. This week we focus on the name by which God revealed Himself to Moses from the burning bush.

THE TIME OF THE END // Daniel 12

Pastor Graham Phillips finishes up our series through the book of Daniel. As we study Daniel's final vision we consider the time of the end, when the dead shall be raised either to eternal life or to shame and eternal contempt.

BE OPENED // Mark 7:31-37

Jesus's healing of the deaf and mute man in Mark 7 tells us a lot not just about God's power over sickness but also about His power over our sinfulness. Samuel Manning expounds on this passage from Mark's gospel.

THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD // DANIEL 11

We focus in on the final prophetic vision of the book of Daniel. A remarkable prophetic vision which accurately predicts over a hundred verifiable historical events and even projects forwards toward the very end of the world.
