We're back! Matt asks Dave some questions about Sunday's passage. Here are some of the questions discussed in this podcast. What’s the connection between, and what are the differences between those two ‘words’? - And a follow-up: Is God always doing something when he speaks? If the answer is, yes, I see how that’s relevant to creation and great acts of redemption, but how is that relevant in my we...

Matt and Dave have a chat about Hebrews 7 from Sunday, and we also let you know what we've been learning at the FIEC conference. What’s the ‘Levitical system’?

How is he king of righteousness? How is he king of peace?...

Dave asks Matt some questions from Sunday's sermon. Here are the questions that were asked this week: What does it mean that some of the Hebrews ought to be teachers? Whenever we read in verse 12 it makes it sound like the “elemental truths of God’s Word” is milk, not solid food… a negative right? Is a basic understanding of the Gospel a bad thing? You talked about “not being hungry to know more o...

What was his prea...

Matt fires questions at Dave about Sunday's sermon. Here are the questions that are in this podcast: What does it mean that Jesus “ascended into Heaven”? Could you explain what it means in day to day life to hold firmly to what we profess? How can Jesus have been tempted and not sin? Is it not sinful to be tempted?

This is a re-recording of the sermon from Sunday 16th October, by Dave Lawther from Hebrews 4:12-5:10.

Dave asks Matt questions from Sunday's sermon. Here are some of the questions we cover. So whenever we think of “rest” in the context of the Bible- which should spring to our mind first? The rest we’ve entered into? The rest that we will enter into? How should rest feel? What are the ways we are tempted to “go back to Egypt”? At the beginning of creation God had planned a rest- Heaven. Why did He...

Matt asks Dave some picky questions from Sunday's message on Hebrews 2. How are these 4 truths ones that make sense of people drifting away? Dave often in our sermons we will address people who are skeptical about the Christian faith- why do we do this? Why does the writer say ‘there’s a place where someone has testified’? Just gone blank!? Why doesn’t he give Bible references? Was Jesus really fo...

Dave asks Matt some questions about angels from the Sunday sermon.  Some of the questions in this episode are: What rhetoric devices does the author use that people can look out for? What does the writer mean whenever he says that Jesus has inherited a superior name? If Jesus is better than angels, why do we so often not have a view of Jesus that inspires fear/awe? How can we grow in our awe...

Matt and Dave chat about Sunday's sermon on Hebrews 1:1-4. Here are some of the questions talked about in this episode: Mint choc chip: seriously!?
