In those episode we take a deep-dive in to, probably, THE most famous Bible verse and unpack some of the words used by Jesus Messiah.

In this episode we take a look at the final 3 verses of John 2 and ask how they might be informing WHO Jesus is and WHAT he came to accomplish.

This episode explores the wedding in Cana story in John 2. Asking what kind of ‘sign’ is this? What is it pointing towards? Why this sign?

In this episode we finish John 1 by looking at the transition the first disciples make between curiosity and devotion. We ask what it means to be a ‘disciple’ of something/someone and why that resonates with us?

In this episode we unpack the 3-pronged question that’s put before John. Is he the prophet, Elijah, the Messiah? What will he say about himself? What will WE say about ourselves?

In this episode we look at two words that John uses repeatedly and interconnected within the opening prologue/poem of the Gospel. Asking what can both “light” and “life” teach us about Christ and about ourselves.

In this episode we unpack and explore the term ‘glory’. Asking what can the Hebrew and Greek understandings of the term teach us today.

In this new season, we begin to unpack the question “who is Jesus?” as we look at the opening prologue poem of John 1.

In the last episode of this season, in the last episode of this year, we explore the theme of standing on the edge between the old and the new. Asking what the Bible has to teach us about this transition.

In the fourth episode of our Advent season we look at two more characters from the traditional readings and ask “Are we open to the surprises of God?”

In this third Advent episode we continue with our theme of waiting and explore how two characters respond to God’s revelation with either suspicion or surrender and ask ourselves how we will respond today.

In this second Advent episode we continue to explore the theme of waiting through the lens of Zechariah and Elizabeth. Asking “what can their story teach us about our story?”

In this first Advent episode, we look at Isaiah 2:2-5 and explore the significance and HOPEfullness of mountains in the Biblical narrative.

In this one-off episode we unpack some of what Jesus is talking about when he starts his three-part announcement that he is “the Way, the Truth, and the Life”.

In those stand-alone episode, we lay the groundwork for looking at a well-known scene from the life of the prophet, Elijah. Where he lays out a challenge, not just for the people present that day, but for us all today.

In the final episode of this series we take one final look at some examples of the ‘hesed’ of God and unpack what that means for us here and now.

In this episode we explore how God’s hesed is found in all the places we least expect and that it’s not conditional on who we are or what we do/don’t do.

In this episode we look again at the actions & words of Jesus and look at how they filter through into the actions & words of his early followers.

In this bonus episode of the ‘hesed’ series we explore how this loyal love is a description on BOTH who God is AND what God does. How ‘hesed’ isn’t dependent upon our ability to earn/deserve it.

In this episode we explore what this Hebrew word has to say to the early followers of Jesus and what this might mean for our lives today.

In this episode we explore how the theme of ‘hesed’ is carried through into the New Testament, particularly in the life and teachings of Jesus.

In this episode we look at how ‘hesed’ is used to describe people’s relationships with each other. Unpacking four examples from the Hebrew Bible.
