Getting high quality preaching from trainee ministers - with Toby Neal 28:05

29d ago28:05

28:05

How can a senior minister best train junior preachers (student ministers and assistant ministers) in preaching? There’s a tension we all feel: we want to be a training church raising up the next generation of leaders and yet we also want to make sure that the quality of what happens in our gatherings is high. We don’t want a Sunday morning ‘plane c…

Ministry families and adopting and foster care - with Sarah and Mat Yeo and Matthew Wilcoxen 28:06

1d ago28:06

28:06

How do you balance the instability and chaos of external ministry with adding a foster child or adopted child to a ministry family? What are the implications of taking children in crisis into the ministry home? What motivates ministry families to become foster parents or to adopt? How do older children and the church respond? Sarah and Mat Yeo serv…

Genesis: The Destruction Of Sodom And Gomorrah 28:54

4d ago28:54

28:54

Sodom and Gomorrah are the poster children for God's wrath. In Genesis 19, we come across a cautionary tale to a world hellbent on offending a holy God. Specifically, Genesis 19 describes the destruction of these two cities. The destruction was horrific. It was severe. And yet, in Matthew 10, Jesus says that an even worse judgment will befall those…

Acting like men? - with Phillip Jensen, Craig Hamilton, Adrian Russell and Robin Kinstead 30:30

8d ago30:30

30:30

What is it to be #likeaman? There are not many places in the New Testament where men are spoken to specifically. Today we are thinking about being a Christian man. In the ESV and NASB the translation of 1 Corinthians 16:13 has ‘Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong’. (ESV) But what does that mean? Dominic Steele put that que…

Genesis: Abraham, Sarah, And God's Big Promise 32:14

11d ago32:14

32:14

In Genesis 18 made a promise so outrageous that Sarah laughed. The promises that He has made you are even bigger. God has promised to save and sanctify you, to wipe away all your tears, and to dwell with you in Paradise for eternity. Now those are promises! But how can we be sure they apply to us (and that they will be fulfilled)? That will be the …

Why We Worship The Way We Do | Doug Wilson 49:28

17d ago49:28

49:28

The apostle Paul wanted to sing in the Spirit, but wanted to sing with the mind also (1 Cor. 14:15). In a similar way, we come here week after week to worship God in the Spirit of God. But it is important for us to understand what we are doing, and why we are doing it. Otherwise we will drift into a mindless routine—which is quite different from a …

What morality should we teach artificial intelligence? - with Stephen Driscoll 24:37

22d ago24:37

24:37

A new massive ethical question has risen up with the advent of artificial intelligence. How will people decide what kind of morality to give to their artificial intelligence creations? There will need to be a morality. But what should it be? The market is already making different choices. Elon Musk has said he wants the AI behind X (formerly Twitte…

Genesis: Abraham, The Friend Of God 26:36

26:36

God made Abraham mind-boggling promises. And Abraham believed Him. In Genesis 12, Abraham was introduced with little fanfare. He was a man from a pagan family and a pagan background. And yet, God was going to make this nobody a series of incredible promises - promises that Abraham believed in, and then acted accordingly. Questions That We'll Answer…

Joyful Covenant Children | Shawn Paterson 33:16

24d ago33:16

33:16

As we look around the room each Lord’s Day, we can see that many of us are in the thick of it when it comes to raising children. This is not simply an optical illusion; back in January, we ran a report and discovered that 37% of our congregation is under the age of 11, and nearly half are under the age of 18. Therefore, it is good to keep returning…

Genesis: The Tower Of Babel 30:35

26d ago30:35

30:35

God told the people to go outward. Instead, they went upward. "Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth" God told the people. But they said no - in their minds, it was safer and smarter to stay in one place. And so, they built a formidable 'tower' in Genesis 11. In today's study we'll read about that tower (and God's response). Questions That We'l…

Anxiety and Idols | Toby Sumpter (The Continuing Adventures of Jesus #30) 41:20

1M ago41:20

41:20

Human beings are inherently religious. We are homo adorans – worshiping man. We will either worship the Creator or some part of creation. Basing your life on some part of creation (reason, experience, science, health, pleasure) ultimately results in despair, anger, and anxiety because all of them are ultimately dependent on you and self-esteem, sel…

Genesis: Noah And The Great Flood 31:45

31:45

The wrong question: how did all the animals fit in the ark? The most crucial question of Genesis 6 is NOT about the animals. Not at all. Rather, it is this: why was an ark needed in the first place? In other words, why was God willing to flood the entire globe, only six chapters after creating it? Seems drastic. So why did God do it, and what does …

The traumatic implications of artificial intelligence - with Stephen Driscoll 29:51

1M ago29:51

29:51

Artificial Intelligence is an oncoming tsunami that will catch all of humanity off guard. It is a change more like a wheel than a typewriter. But what will this do to our sense of self? Stephen Driscoll, in ‘Made in our Image - God, artificial intelligence and you’ says artificial intelligence may do great harm - giving more power to sinful people,…

Nobility and Envy | Toby Sumpter (The Continuing Adventures of Jesus #29) 50:10

1M ago50:10

50:10

After the Fall, there are really only two kinds of community in the world: the fellowship of nobility and the fellowship of envy. Cain envied his brother, murdered him, and was exiled and built a city; Seth was the father of noble generations who found grace in the eyes of the Lord. The word “noble” literally means “good generation” (high-born). En…

Surely he'd turn away from sin! However, before Genesis 4 was over, a blood soaked corpse proved otherwise. Questions That We'll Answer: A) Why did Cain kill his brother? And what…

‘The hardest talk I’ve ever given: Loving God’ - with Ray Galea 27:26

‘God wants all of me to love all of God all the time’ says Senior Pastor of Fellowship Dubai, Ray Galea. We want our staff and leaders to live and serve in ministry out of an overflow of the love of God for them. Grasping this love properly lifts our service from duty to desire. As pastors we are so committed and focused on encouraging our congrega…

Real Roman Trouble | Toby Sumpter (The Continuing Adventures of Jesus #28) 47:28

In 42 B.C. in the fields of Philippi in Macedonia, Greece, the armies of Brutus and Cassius collided with the armies of Mark Anthony and Octavian, and the latter soundly defeated the former.

Genesis: The Temptation And The Fall 32:48

One sin. That's all it took. In our day, sin is treated casually - as a marketing device (think 'Sin City'), and rarely as a spiritual anchor. But one sin is all it took for man to be thrown out of the garden, and for chaos to sweep the created realm. This tells us two things: 1) sin must be really bad, and 2) God must be really holy.

The Wisdom of God | Toby Sumpter (The Continuing Adventures of Jesus #27) 50:13

2M ago50:13

50:13

The wisdom of God is foolishness to man, and we must understand deep in our bones that one of the central missions of God in the history of the world is to destroy the wisdom of man (1 Cor. 1:19). This doesn’t mean that we cannot grow in God’s wisdom, but it means that we must be incredibly skeptical of human wisdom. The goal of the history of the …

Convulsions & Antifragile Maturity | Toby Sumpter (The Continuing Adventures of Jesus #26) 53:26

53:26

We live in world full of petty divisions and many foolish alliances. Maturity means growing up into a deep commitment to the truth as well as being able to tell the difference between gnats and camels. Unity at all costs will always lead to compromise, and certain wooden ideologies create brittle men and communities. We are seeking to build an anti…
