Edgar Andrews' PodcastAUDIO; THE SOWER PART 2; WEEDS OR WHEAT?This episode completes a two-part study of the Parable of the Sower, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit alone brings true spiritual fruit. We briefly review the first two soils—wayside and rocky, showing why each fails to sustain the seed, and here consider the two remaining soils—weed-infested and well prepared ('good'). We use the parable of the great banquet to illustrate how loving such things as possessions, ambition, and even family, in preference to loving God, chokes the gospel seed and produces nominal rather than true Christians.

Although thousands of faithful preachers proclaim the gospel, the Holy Spirit is the ultimate sower of the gospel seed. Paul tells the Corinthians "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase". We also learn why some reject the gospel outright or fall away under trial. Practical takeaways include recognizing spiritual opposition, the need for deep roots through the indwelling Spirit, and the promise of living water that sustains believers through drought. The exposition will conclude in Part two which will consider the thorns and the good soil.

CHRIST'S ADVICE FOR HARD TIMESWe rightly celebrate the New Year but in our present chaotic world it will bring new fears that things will get worse rather than better. Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 is set against a similar backdrop of global unrest—wars, deception, persecution, pestilence, and rising lawlessness. In this episode Chris Boraston examines Jesus' advice to his disciples on how to survive hard times; beware deceivers, don’t be alarmed, expect and prepare for persecution, resist lawlessness by loving others, and keep the long-term focus on God’s kingdom, both preached and possessed.

2025-10-0635 minEdgar Andrews' PodcastTHE WISDOM OF THE CROSSIn 1 Corinthians 2:1–5, Paul intentionally rejects eloquence and human wisdom to preach "Jesus Christ and him crucified." We explore what he meant by his "fear and weakness" when he evangelized Corinth, emphasising his reliance on the Holy Spirit's work and power in creating genuine faith. The message warns us against superficial "conversions" which lack evidence of the Spirit's transforming work which is present in all genuine conversions. A timely republication of a 2022 episode.

Paul's experiences during his second missionay journey make exciting reading but were, of course, quite different from our own. Nevertheless, we find in the experiences of the Apostle and his companions, principles of divine guidance that are timelessly true. Their reliance on the Holy Spirit as he both closes doors and opens them, emerges as the primary factor in bringing the Gospel to Europe then, and for us to imitate today.

We outline key interlocking elements of the biblical worlview such as God as Creator and Lord of heaven and earth; divine providence; God's sovereignty over man and nature; and the immanence of his Spirit throughout the cosmos. Finally we also touch briefly on human origins, sin and accountability, and the centrality of Jesus Christ to the entire scheme of things, matters that are treated in detail in the next chapter, "Adam and the Apple" and subsequent chapters.

Recognising his potential, Paul undertakes the demanding task of preparing his young friend for ministry and future leadership. He circumcises him for strategic reasons, adds him to his travelling companions and patientl,y mentors him by teaching and example for many years.

2025-09-2030 minEdgar Andrews' PodcastAUDIO; IS REALITY REAL?In this one-off reading from the author's book "What is Man?" we ask whether reality exists independently of our perception of it. Some philosophers, and notably the late cosmologist Stephen Hawking in his last book "The Grand Design", think the answer is no. In refuting these ideas we show how a coherent biblical worldview grounded in divine inspiration, prophecy, and historical evidence, provides us with the objective reality we need to understand both the world around us and our place in it. For example, modern science would be impossible unless such a "real reality" exists.

The first was to convince the Galatians that he had received his gospel directly by revelation from God, not from the other apostles. This was vital because the Judaizers had come from Jerusalem, implying apostolic authority whereas Paul had not. The second battle was directly against the Judaizers at the Council of Jerusalem where Paul found himself in total agreement with the original apostles. Both battles were won.
