Let God Speak

Many today are cynical of justice through the court system. It seems justice depends on the particular world views of the judge or magistrate, and whether or not you can afford expensive law firms to represent you. Yes, it seems justice depends on how much money and influence you have. But what about justice in our own lives? Do things happen to us that are unfair and go unresolved? Stay with us a...

Today’s lesson will focus on the God who blends love, righteous anger, and judgement. Any wise parent knows that being a parent is not all hugs and kisses. Faithful nurture at times also demands rebuke, discipline, judgement, and consequences. Was God uncharacteristically harsh in the Old Testament, but loving in the New Testament? Not if God is the same yesterday, today and forever. We hope that...

Some people are more emotional than others. Some are wary of this, yet God is described in Scripture as having a deeply emotional love for us. Today’s study will explore the depth of God’s love.

Christians sometimes claim that the followers of other religions are called on to sacrifice to their god, but Christianity is the only religion whose God sacrificed Himself for His followers. Does God call on His followers to sacrifice to please Him? What role does living a life pleasing to God play in the life of the Christian and how can it be done? Today’s study will uncover the answers to thes...

Evangelist Dwight Moody famously said “the world does not understand theology or dogma, but it understands love and sympathy.” Jesus made this point very clear when he told his disciples “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” The Bible tells us that God’s love for us is unconditional and He longingly desires for us to love Him back. But like our eart...

Here begins a new series of lessons dealing with God’s Love and Justice. Understanding the nature of God has profound implications for Christian faith and practice. During this quarter we hope to answer many questions about the love of God and His justice. It is usually true that we love in return for being loved. After His resurrection, Jesus asked Peter if he loved his Lord. Three times Peter de...

Today is our final study in this series on the gospel of John. We will see the importance of deliberately focussing on Jesus and His words. Our instinct is to follow our own interpretation of Jesus’ life, whereas God wants us to seek an understanding of Jesus from His perspective and worldview. We will explore the value of setting aside our own views. Hosted by: Pr Mike Browning Guests: Pr John Ko...

Usually, the first-born son of a King is born to be King. But imagine a king being born for the main purpose of dying! Of course, I am not speaking of any king but the King of Kings, Jesus Himself. His death and resurrection were the greatest events to take place on earth. Today, we will walk with Jesus through His trial, death and resurrection as we study, ‘The Hour of Glory: The Cross and Resurr...

There are three great powers in the universe – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three work together for the redemption of lost humanity. So that all our needs could be provided, each great power adopted different but essential roles. Today’s lesson will discuss these roles and uncover how the Godhead has co-operated seamlessly for our salvation. Hosted by: Pr Mike Browni...

The lessons this quarter have been from the gospel of John, and have dealt with chapters 1 through 12 (which some call ‘the Book of Signs’). Today begins Chapters 13 through 20 (which some call ‘the Book of Glory’), these chapters focus on the closing scenes in the earthly life of Jesus. Today’s study will specifically focus on ‘The Three Rs’ – Ritual, Revelation and Reassurances. Hosted by: Pr Cl...

The great problem that every human culture has had to face is that of death. Benjamin Franklin famously wrote ‘the only things certain in life are death and taxes’. The Gospel of John gives a solution to this deadly problem through the person of Jesus. John describes Jesus not only as the source of life, but the source of eternal life for all who believe in Him. Hosted by: Christopher Petersen Gue...

John’s gospel emphasises both the authority of the scriptures, and the prophesies of the scriptures, in an effort to reveal that Jesus was the Messiah. Despite John’s evidence, many still do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. This lesson will discuss how Jesus accurately fulfilled prophecy, and how our faith in Jesus is based on solid evidence. Hosted by: Blair Lemke Guests: Lena Yoon & J...

Throughout the Gospel of John we find sentences affirming the divinity of Jesus Christ. Some people say that Jesus Christ was just a good man. C.S. Lewis, however, observed that good men don’t go around claiming to be God. Either Jesus was what He claimed to be, or He was mad! This study will look into John’s gospel, and will discuss a few of those who witnessed the divine nature of Jesus. Hosted...

Jesus not only spoke profound truths about Himself throughout His ministry, but also demonstrated His divine authority through miraculous signs. These very acts of love and power led to acceptance and division among the people. This study will explore the witness of John the Baptist, the reactions of the crowds, and even the testimony of God the Father to gain a deeper understanding of who Jesus i...

During the time Jesus walked the earth, racial prejudice had been alive and well between the Jews and the Samaritans for centuries. It was so entrenched that the two neighbouring populations avoided any physical contact with each other. This is the environment within which Jesus, a Jew, took his public ministry. This study will discuss Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well, along with the te...

The Messiah had been promised since the fall of man in Genesis 3:15. The major and minor prophets foretold His advent. Yet when the Messiah finally arrived, His identity was an issue. Was Jesus the One anointed by God to be the Messiah, or was He an imposter? Today’s study will examine evidence supplied by Christ’s witnesses of Him as the Messiah. Hosted by: Pr Uriah St Juste Guests: John Malkiewy...

Scholars tell us John was the last surviving disciple, and that he wrote his gospel towards the end of the first century, about 30 years later than Matthew, Mark and Luke. By then the world had changed dramatically, the Romans had destroyed the temple and defeated the Jewish nation. At that time the scattered church was threatened with persecution, waning piety, and Greek heresies doubting the inc...

The book of John portrays Jesus as the divine and eternal Son of God. He was God the Creator, veiled in humanity. Today we will discuss three of Jesus’ amazing miracles that stand as definite proof of His divinity. We will look at how those who witnessed these incredible miracles reacted. Join us today as we let God’s word speak. Hosted by: Rosemary Malkiewycz Guests: Cassie Sollano & John Kos...

One of the most loved books in the Bible is the Gospel of John. Today we begin a new series looking at this New Testament book. John’s gospel differs from the other three gospels, as he was particularly close to Jesus Christ. John explained his purpose as having us believe in Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. John wants every reader to believe in Jesus and gain life through Jesus’ name. Hosted...

Perhaps the greatest event in human history happened on a Sunday morning. Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead, and left behind an empty tomb. This event is the basis for the hope of us all, that Jesus will raise back to life all those that die with their faith in him. Join us as we discuss this momentous event in the ministry of Jesus and conclude our studies on the gospel of Mark. Hosted by: Rod...

The arrest, trial, and execution of Jesus was a shameful example of injustice upon an innocent person. Everyone involved knew He was innocent. As prophesied, Jesus allowed it to happen without retaliation. Join us as we discuss the last hours of Jesus’ life, as outlined in Mark 15, where He endured the humiliation and brutal treatment of the Romans. Hosted by: Pr Clive Nash Guests: Daniel Vokurka...

We are coming towards the end of our series on the New Testament book of Mark. Jesus was about to close His earthly ministry. He was about to leave His disciples. But there was still much to be accomplished. This included the events of what is commonly called the Passion Week. Stay with us as we find out more. Hosted by: Kaysie Vokurka Guests: Kate Simpson & Cassie Sollano Download the study n...

People today sense something big is about to happen. Mark 13 contains Jesus’ words to His disciples only a few days before His death on the cross. He spoke to them about last day events before He returns the second time. Stay with us as we discuss what He said and what it means for us today. You wont want to miss this. Hosted by: Rod Butler Guests: Lena Yoon & Daniel Vokurka Download the study...

As Jesus comes towards the end of His ministry He begins to exercise His authority as the Messiah of Israel. Not surprisingly, this brings Him into conflict with the religious leaders in Jerusalem. Jesus knew doing this would take Him to the cross, but He didn’t turn back. Mark will provide insights for us into Jesus’ spiritual leadership at that time. Hosted by: Pr Mike Browning Guests: Gayl Fong...

Jesus’ public ministry was coming to a close. The cross of Calvary was getting ever closer. Today’s lesson will examine Mark 10 and discuss the principles which Jesus taught to His disciples during the last few weeks of His ministry.
