Jesus' comments about discipline and prayer in Matt 18 assume the relational networks of which we are part. What does healthy discipline look like? How do we 'agree' in prayer?

The first step to overcoming evil with Good is to see the evil that we seek to overcome. The first place to look is our own life - the main place over which we have jurisdiction and can effectively deliver change.

A living sacrifice is kinda grotesque if you think about it for a moment. What does Paul mean when he calls his readers to offer themselves in this manner. Maybe we have misconstrued the nature of sacrifice altogether?! This is the beginning of a series of talks that will seek to offer an alternate view...

It is easy to misconstrue the nature of relationship with God...

When it comes to being intimate we have to come to terms with our vulnerability. The spirit comes alongside in our weakness and holds us when we cannot make sense...

Good psalm. Good material for getting to know one another...

That which the law could not achieve (weakened as it was by the flesh) Christ Jesus has brought about. So do I have a part in this or is it more akin to being German and 'winning the world cup'? (most Germans actually had nothing to do with their team's win! No offence intended just stating the fact).

Romans 7 has engendered a lot of discussion over the centuries. Was Paul speaking about his life before meeting the resurrected Jesus? Is this not a universal human experience (whether Christian or not)? What causes the disconnect that Paul names as 'another law' that is at work in his body?

WARNING: This is perhaps the deepest and most challenging talk I have worked on.

Are we coterminous with Jesus?!

What reward do the prophets and the Righteous get anyway?!

And what is the current going rate for a cup of cold water on the Kingdom exchange?!

Some of these questions may be asked (but not necessarily answered) in this talk...

Otherwise referred to as the 'Great Omission' when used by some as the great evangelical guilt trip. Yet in this brief passage there is enormous awareness of, and grace toward, our frailty as believers and Jesus' clarion call to live in response to his authority in all of life.
