Let God Speak

John Howard was the second-longest serving Prime Minister of Australia (in a coalition government). When referring to political parties, he famously popularised the saying "Disunity is death.” What about disunity in churches? Today’s lesson will explore how divisions arise in churches, and will investigate practical ways for our congregations to overcome cliques and be united in Christ. Hosted by:...

The cross was an intense symbol of Roman torture and shame. Yet in a divided and sophisticated city like Corinth, the apostle Paul refused to rely on human eloquence or philosophy to reach the hearts of the people. Instead, he preached only “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” Today’s lesson will discuss why this seemingly foolish message transforms lives and remains the central answer to division, t...

It might be confounding how messages to a church in ancient Greece are relevant today. But human nature is much the same as it always has been. Today’s lesson begins a new series on the Apostle Paul’s two letters to the Corinthians, and discusses how the problems that Paul encountered in ancient Corinth are strikingly appropriate for us today.

Our world feels like it’s shaking. People everywhere are anxious, overwhelmed, and wondering where everything is heading. Life has never felt more fragile. Thankfully the Bible insists there is a point to all of this. God has a plan, and history is moving toward a rescue: a glorious eternity for those who faithfully hold on. That’s our focus today’s lesson: Into Eternity. Hosted by: Pr Mike Browni...

Today’s lesson deals with setbacks to one’s faith. I once read the story of a boy who was rescued after a terrible incident at sea. His rescuers found him clinging to a rock. They asked him how scared he had been. He replied: “I shook all night, but thankfully the rock did not move.” Can we find a firm rock in our times of trouble and in the setbacks of life? The Apostle Paul wrote that troubles c...

This lesson will explore the life-changing theme of repentance and forgiveness. The same grace shown to the Israelites is today offered to us through Jesus. Join us, as we Let God Speak of how to experience the freedom of a clean heart, and how to walk with Him, and for truths that will draw you closer to the Saviour.

Some people wish there were no speed limits on our roads. They say that people should have the freedom to decide for themselves what is a safe speed to drive. Imagine how chaotic, frightening, and dangerous driving on the roads would be if every person was given that responsibility. Just like road traffic rules are needed to keep order, safety, and the joy of driving, God has laws that govern His...

When the sun sinks below the horizon in the evening, we have faith that we will see it rise again in the morning. When we turn on a light switch, we believe the light will go on, even though electricity is invisible. In cases like these, our faith is based on past experience. When it comes to our relationship with God, faith is similar. We have past experience to go by. Like electricity, God is in...

Our last lesson discussed the theology of prayer, reflecting on its spiritual significance. Today’s lesson will review the actual experience of prayer, as practiced in the life of three very diverse biblical characters.

Prayer is often described as talking to God as to a friend. Prayer is therefore a unique privilege. What things are appropriate to talk to God about? How personal can we be? In an attempt to answer this, our study today will look at the spiritual significance of prayer through the lives of some of the Bible’s greatest prayer warriors. Hosted by: Pr Mike Browning Guests: Cassie Sollano & Rod Bu...

In 2016, the Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Year was "post-truth". The definition they gave was ”relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief”. To simplify: facts are secondary, or even irrelevant, when they conflict with what people want to believe. Welcome to the “post-truth” world. Trut...

Today’s lesson will investigate two contrasting qualities: pride and humility. Charles Dickens created a character, Uriah Heep, who was extremely proud of his humility. The Bible gives a painful example of someone else who became proud while living in heaven’s sinless environment, that someone was Satan. Since the human race fell into sin, we have been infected with the problem of pride and selfis...

To have a strong relationship with God, one needs to understand His character. While our finite minds cannot fully understand God, we can know enough about Him from the Bible to put our total trust in Him. Today’s study will explore how we can know God, and why knowing God is important for having a strong relationship with Him. Hosted by: Rod Butler Guests: Pr Harold Harker & Gayl Fong Downloa...

The phrase "The truth hurts" means you may have to accept an uncomfortable, unflattering, or harsh reality that challenges your self-image, illusions, beliefs, or ego. Being told the truth, however, is something we all need. Jesus loves His last day church and sent it a truthful message. He gave it a reality check. Join us now for the beginnings of a new series of lessons on growing our relationsh...

The phrase "a champion team will always beat a team of champions" emphasises how teamwork can overcome a roster stacked with individual superstars who lack synergy. The apostle Paul showed that mission is teamwork. He assembled his “dream team” of fellow workers to minister to the Colossian church. Stay with us as we discuss Paul’s approach to nurturing the Colossians and how we can apply the same...

The bible has helpful insights into the dynamics that drive our human relationships.

There are two forces at work in our world: Good and evil, Christ and Satan. Bad behaviours result from the influence of evil; good behaviours stem from Christ. Behind goodness lies the principle of love. That love flows out of a relationship with Jesus Christ. Today’s study will look at what Paul wrote in the 3rd chapter of his letter to the church at Colossae. While we need to attend to earthly m...

Were the ten commandments done away with when Christ died and rose again? Are we living today only under grace with no law? If the law is still in force, what role does it play in our salvation when we are saved by faith alone? These are very important questions for Christians. Stay tuned as we see how Paul answered these questions in his letter to the Colossians. Hosted by: Dr Sven Östring Guests...

Christ’s death on the cross has cosmic significance for all created beings, both those in heaven and we here on earth. Christ’s death brought reconciliation to our world lost in sin. Yet that amazing act of love by Christ is personal. Join us for today’s study as we investigate how Christ has brought reconciliation for you and me. Hosted by: Kaysie Vokurka Guests: Corinne Knopper & Pr Harold H...

Most people believe the most preeminent position one could hold in the world today is the office of the President of the United States. This is because that office controls the largest economy and diplomatic network, and, it has global influence over international politics, economics, security, and culture. The Bible, however, makes very clear who holds the most preeminent position in the world to...

Our present series has been looking at Paul’s letters to the churches at Philippi and Colossae. Before we move on to the letter to the Colossians, our study today will take one last look at the final chapter in the letter to the Philippians. This chapter contains many good counsels for daily living. Life is not always easy, and does not always go the way we plan or hope. Thankfully the ‘here and n...

The most unbelievable part of the Bible is its central theme: that God saves guilty sinners without them contributing anything! Or as great scholars and theologians have described it: salvation is by grace alone. Why is this beautiful message of salvation so difficult to comprehend? Why does humanity continually fall into the trap of relying on themselves for salvation? How can we avoid this tempt...
