TruthTalks Archives - Truth Is The Word

There is an elaborate forty-day liturgical build-up to Easter, but very few people ask themselves:

Who did Jesus choose to talk to in the forty days after His resurrection  – and why did He choose them?

In this TruthTalks podcast, based THIS post, Dr Christopher Peppler takes us through the accounts of Jesus' appearances during the few precious days before he returned to be with his Father in heaven. Could some have been to ordinary folk like you and me?

Renewed in the Spirit of your Mind

In this TruthTalks Sermon, Dr Christopher Peppler shows us the topical image of the typewriter that has just been donated to the South African Holocaust and Genocide museum to show us how great idea's and inventions can be used for horrific purposes.

So, how do thoughts become realities?

He looks at Proverbs 23:7 where it states that "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he..." (NKJV) and how this is taken out of context. If you look at just the verses before and after 7 we see the meaning of this text: "Do not eat the bread of a miser, Nor desire his delicacies; 7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you. The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up, And waste your pleasant words". A very different meaning to what we often interpret as 'your thoughts become your realities' don't you think? Yet, we know that our thought does have some kind of profound influence on what we do.

What does the Bible say?

So instead, we are led to focus on Ephesians 4:17-24

More and more scholars are writing and teaching on the centrality of Jesus and I am convinced that this is a subject currently on God’s heart.

Part of this focus is the belief that Jesus is the full, and not just the fullest, presentation of God’s nature and character. This TruthTalk combines my two latest articles on this subject, ‘Jesus the Full Representation of God’ and ‘A Two-faced God?’

In the first part of the podcast (below) I speak about;

* Why the distinction between full and fullest is important.

* The meaning of Colossians 1:19 and 2:9

* What Jesus said about himself

In the second part of the message I deal with;

* Jesus in the Old Testament and in the book of Revelation

* The reason why some folk hold to a ‘two-faced’ view of God

* How I understand a Christocentric interpretation of scripture

Several mountains feature in the Bible and take their significance from what happened on them.

For instance, Mount Moriah where Abraham took his son to sacrifice to Yaweh, Mount Sinai where God gave Moses the tablets of stone, and Mount Carmel where Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal. However the two most significant mountains of the New Testament are Mount Zion, where Jesus died for the sin of the world, and Mount Hermon.

At Paneas, on an extended ridge of Hermon, the Lord Jesus confirmed that He was the long-awaited Son of Man, and further up Hermon, God the Father confirmed that Jesus,was the Son of God.
