Nerd Culture - A Gamekings Podcast#209 over Andor, James Gunn's Superman & Tom CruiseWelkom bij Nerd Culture episode #209 – dé meest nerdy podcast in de multiverse. Deze week duiken we diep in Andor seizoen 2, dat traag begint maar uiteindelijk keihard levert. We bespreken wat deze serie zo bijzonder maakt en waarom Star Wars hier de spijker op z'n kop slaat. Verder hebben we het over Tom Cruise, die tijdens Cannes niets loslaat over de toekomst van Mission: Impossible, en laat Scarlett Johansson haar frustratie blijken over het Oscar-succes dat Avengers: Endgame nooit kreeg. Zoals altijd: hot takes, nostalgie én veel te veel meningen.Andor Season 2 Review: "Het wachten waar...

Vorming voor elke dagBidden om uitbreiding van het Koninkrijk van God (1)KoninkrijkHet beeld van het mosterdzaad (Luk. 13: 19) wordt door dr. A. Noordegraaf verbonden met dat van het gezaaide zaad in Luk. 8: 1 en 10. Hierbij is sprake van de verkondiging van het rijk Gods. Met verwijzingen naar Ezechiël en Daniël toont Noordegraaf aan dat daarin plaats is voor alle volken. ‘En daar zullen er komen van Oosten en Westen, en van Noorden en Zuiden, en zullen aanzitten in het Koninkrijk Gods.’ (Luk. 13: 29). De verbreiding van het Woord en het ontstaan van gemeenten onder de volken is een gevolg van de prediking van het koninkrijk. Dit wordt zichtbaar in de...
