  • 3. Jesus Is Lord, Caesar Is Not

    What does it mean to preach the gospel? Today the word is often heard with much assumed theological meaning. In the 1st Century AD, however, the word "gospel" was known to be associated with the Cult of Caesar and Imperial Rome - a fact not lost on the apostles or the early church. In this episode, Ian talks about the New Testament's subversive usage of "gospel" and what the earliest followers of Jesus would have understood it to mean.

  • 43. Veni, Emmanuel
    As Christmas 2021 approaches, believers observing Advent put themselves in the same spiritual space as the Israelites awaiting the coming of their Messiah. As the Church we celebrate the first coming of Christ, and eagerly await His second coming. This is perfectly encapsulated in Christmas hymn “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.” Join Ian for a brief history and theological contemplation of this beloved song.

  • 39. Thinking Biblically About The Fourth Of July

  • 38. Ananias And Sapphira - A Problematic Passage
    The swift punishment of Ananias and Sapphira’s sin recorded in Acts 5 is reminiscent of the kind of judgment we see in the Old Testament. Readers are left with questions - why no opportunity of repentance? Why no chance to be restored? It’s a harsh passage, and no commentary or sermon has ever been able to blunt the edge. But what if that was the author Luke’s intention all along? Link to the article referenced: https://academia.edu/resource/work/3995991

  • 37. Pentecost And The Redemption Of Babel
