Sauntering with Paul White

Chapter 4. The writer of this amazing letter stresses the urgency of Today. He urges us, the readers, to respond to God's invitation to enter his Rest. Today. Jesus has done all the hard work. He has made a way. We come because Jesus invites us. #hebrews #rest #invitation #today #jesus

Chapter 3. We discover how the process of drifting can lead to us hardening our hearts to God's voice. The  writer uses a powerful example from Israel's history to illustrate just how much we can lose by allowing our hearts to harden. #israel #hardheart #drifting #voiceofgod #encouragement #hebrews

We discover that Jesus is amazingly fully human, yet fully God. By virtue of his humanity he is able to be a High Priest who fully knows what it is to be human; having fully experienced human suffering; yet he is also able to be the exactly perfect sacrifice to pay for all of our sin debt. #propitiation #sacrifice #jesus #highpriest #suffering #human #divine #hebrews

This amazing book shines like a polished jewel from the pages of the New Testament. It speaks to us in the 21st Century as powerfully as it spoke to its audience almost 2000 years ago. Join me as we consider the identity of Jesus, revealed by the mysterious, yet profoundly inspired writer of the book addressed to the First Century Hebrews. #hebrews #christology #theology #christ #messiah

Jihad has been slightly less in the news lately, although is currently very much centre stage in certain African nations. We explore how jihadist groups are driven by an interpretation of Islamic eschatology. We discover how some threads of belief seem similar to Jewish and Christian ideas and where they part company. #eschatology #jihad #islam #christian #mahdi #messiah #jesuschrist #endtimes

Everyone believes something about the end of human life on earth. Even people who hold no religious beliefs believe something. Eschatology is the study of the end times. Join Pete Millner and myself as we explore just how mainstream and influential different eschatological beliefs are - right now - in the 21st Century. #eschatology #endtimes #religion #climatechange #jihad #revelation #christianit...

Andreii, a young Ukrainian soldier was fighting for the town of Solidar at night when he was shot in the leg above the knee. His story of his rescue is a story of true heroism and sacrificial friendship. #solidar #heroism #warinukraine #soldier #sacrifice

This is a recording of me preaching at the Prayerhouse on 8th January 2023 following my return from Donbas in Ukraine just before Christmas. I share some experiences from the trip and we consider how God can seriously promise to comfort people who mourn using us as his means of delivery. #bakhmut #donbas #warinukraine #comfort #mourning #grief #isaiah61

Every day local heroes like Svetislava risk their lives by driving into cities and towns on the front lines to evacuate families and groups living under artillery bombardment. Thousands have found their way to safer parts of Ukraine because of their sacrifice. Bakhmut is a small city which has taken on an unusual significance to the Russian army who have poured vast resources into retaining their...

Chapter 21 Breakfast with Jesus after a bumper catch of fish for the disciples. Jesus helps Peter get real before appointing him as a shepherd. #shepherd #breakfast #peter

Chapter 20 This is a day like no other - the supernatural has broken in and changed absolutely everything. The inconceivable is now reality. #resurrectionday #supernatural #jesus #johnsgospel

Chapter 19 The Jewish hierarchy bring all their manipulative skills to bear on Pilate. In spite of his unscrupulous nature, Pilate seems reluctant to sentence Jesus to death. #faketrial #innocent #crucifixion #passover

Chapter 18 Jesus is ambushed in the Garden of Gethsemane by his friend, Judas, with a considerable army. He is then subjected to three fake trials with a pre-determined sentance, although the verdict from the Roman Governor is: Not Guilty.

Chapter 17 This is the beautiful prayer of Jesus, just before he is betrayed. Jesus is praying as a father, a son, a High Priest and a friend. #highpriest #intercession #unity

Chapter 16 Jesus warns his friends of the deep sorrow which will come upon them, as he is taken away from them. He also promises them a joy which no one will be able to take away! #holyspirit #comforter #truth

Chapter 15 part 2 Not only does Jesus love us as the Father loves him, but he wants us to love each other in the same way as he loves us. He explains that this will involve us laying down our lives. #greaterlove

Chapter 15 part 1 Jesus explains to this disciples that the secret to being fruitful as a disciple, is staying connected to Jesus - literally living in him. #vine #pruning #fruitfulness

Chapter 14 Jesus promises to bring the disciples to his Father's house, that where he (Jesus) is, they can be too. We consider the immediate fulfilment and the ultimate fulfilment of this promise. #manymansions #fathershouse

Chapter 13 Jesus adopts the role of the lowest status and washes his disciples feet - even those of Judas, who is moments away from betraying him. He then instructs the disciples to behave in the same way to each other, before issuing the most glorious commandment ever. #footwashing #disciples

Chapter 12 In a shocking display of extravagance and emotion, Mary, the sister of Lazarus, anoints Jesus' feet with an expensive perfumed ointment. #anointing #fragrace #thechristing #worship

Chapter 11 Jesus puts the fun into funerals! One of his dear friends gets sick and dies. After he had been buried for four days, Jesus comes to his funeral... #funeral #lazarus #deadraising

I interview two pastors who remained in Ukraine as the Russian invasion advanced. These men are friends of our friend, Mark Wade, who has been serving Ukraine since 2014. Their communities are different, their churches are different, but they courageously and energetically serve the same Jesus. #warinukraine #gypsy #feedingthehungry #goodnewstothepoor

Chapter 10 Jesus the Good Shepherd - what an amazing insight into Jesus, and a challenge to all pastors, everywhere! #goodshepherd #pastor #jesus #johnsgospel

Chapter 9 Jesus reveals his identity as the light of the world, before bringing actual light to a man who has only ever known darkness. #lightoftheworld #darkness #blind #healing #jesus
