Outside of Sunday

The first of a Bible study series on the Daughter of Zion. Episode 26 of the Outside of Sunday Podcast - available on Spotify and Apple Podcast.  Something that I have been thinking about and studying over the break is the ‘daughter of Zion’. I was thinking about it because there’s this song on my kids spotify playlist that just sings word for word Zechariah 9:9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zio...

The Christmas season is upon us. I put up my tree last weekend and I’m not even sorry about it. It’s definitely nice to have something to look forward to and celebrate. Last night I got to have a little thanksgiving dinner with some of the amazing young people in our church. Even though we don’t celebrate thanksgiving here in New Zealand it’s always good to be thankful. Especially when we are goin...

This episode is for the Christians out there. I’m not going to go into the science of the vaccine; the medical advice either for or against. I’m not a doctor, you don’t want me giving out medical advice. I think we can and should do our own research. So rather than go into all of that we are going to look into the Word of God together to see what guidance the bible has to give us on this matter. S...

Let’s just talk about God’s wrath for a moment. We don’t often talk about it much do we? At church or small groups, it can be a bit of an ignored subject. It’s not nice to think about God’s wrath. And it’s so easy, the small number of times when we do think about it, to picture a mean, cruel God. And that doesn’t seem to match up with the loving, merciful God we know. So we don’t think about it mu...

This week we are continuing our study of Abigail and answering the question of whether wives should submit to their husbands.  I think we can all learn something from Abigail about dealing with confrontation. It’s funny because it doesn’t seem like she is confronting David but she is. She just does it so carefully that you almost don’t even notice that it’s what she is doing. So what does David do...

This episode we are going back into the Old Testament and actually, back into 1st Samuel. The last time we were in the Old Testament, we were looking at Hannah who’s story is recorded in the first chapters of 1st Samuel. Today we are going to be learning about Abigail and her story that is recorded in 1st Samuel 25. It is the whole chapter but today we are just going to cover up to verse 19 and wi...

I'm going there. Don't shoot me. We are reading from 2 John this week and, for the second shortest book of the bible, there is so much to take home.  2nd John is actually the only letter of the New Testament that is addressed to a woman. Most of us will know, that the New Testament part of the Bible, is filled, first with the gospel accounts of Jesus - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And t...

It's been too long Outsiders, but your girl is back and ready to go! This week we are talking about struggling with sin and fixing our eyes on Jesus.  I feel like I might have left you all on a bit of a cliffhanger in the last episode. So I’ve got some resolving to do…. One of the things I really dislike is when we Christians, have like this varnish on, where we don’t be real, we don’t talk a...
