Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

We’re going to continue our conversation about orphans, and what it meant to be an orphan adopted into a Roman family during the days of the Roman Empire, and what that means for us as believers today.

Paul described those of us who don’t know Christ, especially Gentile’s, as orphans, and that when we come to faith in Christ, we’re adopted in the family of God and therefore, are no longer orphans. What did that mean in the ancient Roman Empire world? That’s what we’ll take a look at on Foundations. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through b...

Making vows is serious business as far as the Bible is concerned. Making vows to people is serious and making vows to God is even more serious and we’re going to continue that conversation on Foundations.

There are many ancient Middle Eastern traditions that we don’t know about or understand, and one of them is the tradition of corban?making vows. That’s what we’ll take a look at on Foundations.

Last time we looked at the curious description the Bible has of human beings being like sheep. We also have a God who is described as being our Shepherd. We’ll continue that conversation on Foundations.

Nobody wants to be described as an animal, however, the Bible describes human beings as being like sheep, and with good reason. We tend to behave just like them in so many ways. We also know that sheep desperately need a shepherd to look after them. We have a God who is called the Good Shepherd and that’s what we’ll be learning about on Foundations.

We’re going to continue our conversation on knowing who our King is, and also on how we should approach our King.

There’s quite a bit of confusion about not only knowing who our King is, but how we’re supposed to approach our King. Because the Bible says we can come boldly to the throne of God, does that mean we can come flippantly, or casually? These are questions we’ll be tackling on Foundations.

We’re going to conclude our conversation about the meaning of the name Christ, and why it’s so significant. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Foundations we’re going to look at the meaning of the name ’Christ’. To many people, Christ is Jesus’ surname, and nothing could be further from the truth. In Jewish culture, names have meaning and the name Christ, or the Hebrew equivalent, is really significant.

We’ll continue our conversation on Foundations about how our God, unlike other gods and mythical deities, is beyond definition. He cannot be defined or contained with any kind of human constraints. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s human to want definitive definitions about who God is and what He’s like. However, the more we learn about God, the more we learn that we don’t know much about Him at all. Unlike the gods of the ancient world who were defined specifically for their individual roles, our God is beyond human definition and understanding. He’s too vast, too lofty and too undefinable.

It’s All About Context! ... Some people read the New Covenant and conclude that Jesus just loved everyone to bits. Others read the Bible and conclude He was incredibly judgmental and harsh. Which of these views is correct? We’ll be looking today on Foundations about whether Jesus was loving or a severe judge.

We’ll be continuing our conversation today about the return of Christ and when this momentous event might take place.

One of the greatest doctrines of the Christian faith is the return of Christ, His second coming. Many have tried to predict when His coming will be, and just as many have failed in their predictions. The Bible says that no one knows the hour or the day, but can we know approximately when He’s coming back? That’s our conversation today on Foundations. Your support sends the gospel to ev...

Terrorism came solidly into the west with the attack on 9/11. Terrorism was very prevalent in the ancient world and many critics of the Bible have condemned God as being something of a terrorist. But we’ve been learning about what God’s Word actually says and that’s what our focus is today on Foundations. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcas...

Unfortunately, terrorism has become far too much a part of our lives in recent years, for the most part, something we’ve been unused to. But terrorism has been around for millennia and we’ll be looking into the Torah to see what God has to say about it.
