“I’m so blessed.” “God has really blessed me this year.” We use blessing language a lot, but does our understanding of blessing need recalibrating? Jacob’s did. And we have guest contributor Jeswin Jeyasurya with us to help us understand what it means for us to be blessed.

Bible, Christian Living

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 29:33 — 40.6MB)

Sometimes Christians come across passages in the Bible that they find culturally embarrassing. Passages that talk about slavery or the conquest of Canaan, for example. When we give a secular friend a Bible, these are the passages we hope they skip over on their way to one of the gospels. In this episode we go through 6 steps you can take in reading these passages. And if you take them, who knows? Maybe you’ll go from embarrassment over an OT text to worshipping the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ!

Scriptures Referenced:Nu 5:11-31

Government

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 27:27 — 37.7MB)

Over the past few years, controversial policies have led many Christians to think a lot more about how we should respond to government. How do we respond to the government when they act unjustly? Is there a time to resist the governing authorities? If so, what would that look like?

Scriptures Referenced: Jer 29:7; Dan 1; Dan 3; Dan 6; Acts 5:29; Rom 12:18-18; Rom 13:1-7; 1Tim 2:1-2; 1Pet 2:13-17; 1Pet 5:6

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 23:20 — 32.0MB)

“God is King of the whole earth” (Psa 47:7), but obviously the world currently functions under human governments, ordained by God. What should we expect from governments led by sinful men and women, many of whom possess little fear of God? And how do these failing governments direct our hearts to Christ? Vincent Kember (Episodes 37 & 39) returns to the podcast to give us three key lessons in a two-part theology of government.

Scriptures Referenced: Dan 2; Dan 7; Rev 11:15

Why do people who once seemed like stalwarts of Christian discipleship leave the faith? What leads them to deconstruct what they once professed and defended? In part two of our three-part series on deconstruction, we look at four contributing factors and are reminded again that people questioning their faith – and sometimes, sadly, walking away – is nothing new.

Scriptures Referenced: John 6:60-69; 1Tim 4:1; 2Tim 2:17-18; 2Tim 4:10
