Episode #13: What is the Church?

Episode #15: God fights for Israel

We need to be reminded that the Battle belongs to the Lord. We look at the stories of David & Goliath, Jericho, Gideon, Moses etc and are comforted by Psalm 83 and (in a strange way) by Zechariah 12 too. We are in difficult times, antisemitism has increased by 650%, but we are confident that God will prevail, which is bad news for Israel's enemies! We need to be on the right side of history and our politicians are really letting the country down in more ways than they realise. What happened to nations who fought against Israel and what is future for Middle East. We must get right personally with God first.

Episode #14: The World has gone bonkers (and so has the Church)

This is a far-reaching discussion with a lot of passion, covering the state of the Church, in particular the Church of England, misinformation and downlight lies regarding Gaza, in terms of 'genocide' and 'famine' and what does ChatGPT have to say about this, that may surprise you?! Why no outcry about the Druze and Christians in Syria? Who are the most antisemitic groups in the world? Bob Vylan and the BBC and why the latter is not fit for purpose any more. Fake photos, HAMAS stealing aid, Michael Gove. What do the Arab countries think of Gaza? Mindless antisemitism, apostasy in the Church. The Battle over truth and why it should concern us. Double standards in the BBC. Marxists, anarchists and Jeremy Corbyn. No Jews ... no News! The re-emergence of the Taliban. Fighting back against antisemitism and some personal stories.

Episode #13: What is the Church?

A wide-ranging discussion on what on earth is this thing we call 'church'? How it began and where has it got to. What was the reason for church buildings? Why do we meet together? What is the point of a local church? How many Christians in your local church? Where should folk find God - in Church or in the world? What's the point of mega-Churches? What about home groups? When is Church really 'church'? Is on-line Church relevant? Will the Church go underground? Why is there trouble at the top of the Church of England? Do we need leaders? What is the relationship between the Church and the World? How did Justin Welby fall from grace? Is the Church fundamental or radical?

Episode #12: How to think about Israel

We are joined here by Paul Smith, leader of 'Prayer for Israel' in the UK. We hear of his background, as well as the history and objectives of his ministry in these difficult times. How to deal with the false information propagated by social media and how do we get the truth out? Why doesn't the Church in the UK by and large 'get' Israel? Is there any hope?

Episode# 11: How do we think? How to think differently.

We examine the contrast between the Greek and the Hebraic mindsets and ask (and hopefully answer) the following questions: Are we Hebraic and what is it? How did Greek thinking dominate our culture? What was the Enlightenment and what affect did it have on Darwin and H G Wells? Is there a conflict between God and Science? Does the Church have a problem in believing? Where does our wisdom come from? How can two people be right when they disagree with each other? Why do we argue and hate so much? What's wrong with politics and why is is so polarised? Can we tell lies? What is the greater good? When does doctrine get in the way? Are we kind enough? Are we teachable? What is a Greek Christian?
