Lindisfarne Anglican Church Podcast

As Paul concludes his letter to the Roman church he tells the church about how God has used him to spread the good news about Jesus. As we reflect on Paul's own ministry we are challenged by how God can use us to continue this work today.

John Lennon's famous song Imagine dreams of a world without religion where peace, love and unity reign. As we see the western world become more and more divided as it becomes less and less religious one has to wonder if Lennon is on the right track. In Romans 15:1-13 we see that in fact divisions are healed not through discarding religion but through embracing Jesus! Following Jesus and trusting i...

Christians are called to a life of unity based on the good news about Jesus and the clear teaching of the bible. However there are lots of things which are not foundational to the faith that many Christians disagree about. These are called 'disputable matters' and in Romans 14 Paul gives us some advice for how we can maintain unity on the central things whilst disagreeing over secondary matters. H...

What relationship should Christians have to the secular authorities? What right do governments have to tell Christians what to do? When can a Christian resist a governments authority and when should a Christian submit? It seems the last 18 months have made these questions a lot more live than they have ever been before. As we continue our series on Romans, we tackle Paul's teaching in Romans 13 ab...

In a world that struggles to understand love, the book of Romans helps us to understand love by looking to God and then applying his definition of love to our lives. In Romans 12:9-21 Paul continues to tell us what it means to respond to God's mercy by offering our bodies as a living sacrifice. We do so by loving each other and loving our enemies. We can't do either with God's help or without unde...

In Romans 12 Paul calls Christians to offer their body's to God as a living sacrifice. Find out what that means and how you can do it by watching this talk.

What does Daniel 12 teach us about the end of the world and the events surrounding it? Perhaps with all the recent happenings we're getting close? Listen to Kerry as she explains how Christians should understand what the Bible says about the end of the world and wraps up our series Faith in Exile - The Book of Daniel.

So often we think that the only miracles that count or the unexplainable ones like a healing when medical advice said it was impossible. But in Ephesians we are reminded that God is doing much bigger and more amazing miracles all the time. He's bringing people to spiritual life in Christ, he's breaking down barriers between people and he's making a people for himself. This is truly marvellous and...

Stephen Carnaby encourages us to be A church changed by God's spirit just as the early church was like we read about in Acts 2:36-47.

In John's 3rd letter he writes to his dear friend Gaius a faithful Christian who loves the truth about Jesus and seeks to live that our by loving others and encourages him to be like Demetrius, someone whose life has been radically transformed by the gospel. We also can be encouraged to base our lives on the truth of Jesus and allow his truth to transform us.

In 2 John, the Apostle writes to the church to encourage them to stand firm in the two key ingredients or aspects of the Christian faith, namely Truth and Love. 2000 years later and the same core ingredients are vital for us if we want to live flourishing lives as Christians in the 21st century. And for us today, just as for the 1st century Christians, the same temptation is always there, to walk...

In this talk on 1 John 5, we see how our minds can play tricks on us and take the encouraging message of the grace and love of God and our response to that and make it a message of condemnation instead of acceptance. If you're seeking to obey God and seeking to love others, even imperfectly, you're on the right track and you ought to be encouraged! If you're denying the gospel and don't care about...

There are many people who claim to teach us about Jesus when in fact the truth they offer doesn't match with that we have received from the Apostles in scripture. In 1 John 4 John gives us a way of testing the spirits to see if they are true or not and then encourages us to build our lives on that truth in the love of God.

In 1 John 3 we read of the great privilege a follower of Jesus has, to be called God's child. This privilege, like any right or privilege, however, comes with responsibilities; to God, to other Christians and to the world.

Do you ever wonder if you know God? Do you sometimes think it's hard to tell if you really love God? John gives us some criteria in 1 John 2 and encourages us to love God and not the world.

In John's first letter he outlines a vision for deep unity not based on our politics but based on love. Love rightly understood in the light of God's truth. If you love God you'll find unity. Of course, John is also realistic. He acknowledges the truth of our lived experience, that no one is perfect. That there will always be bumps along the way. In fact, that's the very nature of being human. To...

Romans 11 is perhaps one of the more difficult and perplexing passages of scripture. In it, Paul outlines God's salvation plan for Gentile and Jewish Christian alike. Israel's lack of faith leads to salvation coming to the Gentles. Gentile faith will make Israel jealous which will cause Israel to have faith. But what does Paul mean when he says "all Israel will be saved?" We try to solve this ques...

In Romans 10 Paul boils down the simplicity of faith in the risen Christ as the heart of what it means to be a Christian. He does this in the context of answering the question of Jewish unbelief in the early Church. Why have God's chosen people rejected the Messiah? In Romans 9, Paul talked about God's sovereignty, now in chapter 10, Paul talks about our own personal responsibility. We also hear t...

What would God do if you walked into church? Check out this clip from our recent talk on Romans 10 and which boils down the Christian faith to its simple truth!

In this talk we continue our series "More than Conquerors" looking at the Book of Romans. Today we pick up Chapter 9 and consider questions like, What's the relationship between God's sovereignty and human responsibility? and, How should Christians think about Israel in 2021?

Can you believe the story of Jesus rising from the dead? Is there any real evidence? Is it just something dumb religious people believe? Or should the claims of the Christian faith be taken seriously? Listen to this talk to learn more about why you can believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

In a world longing for justice Good Friday teaches us to find justice in the injustice of an innocent man killed by a powerful government to save us all from the pain and suffering of sin.
