AUDIO; 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. The episode closes with a promise that the gospel sown in rece...

AUDIO; ONE SOWER, FOUR SOILS
The Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13) Part one. 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.

AUDIO; NEW YEAR OR NEW FEAR? CHRIST'S ADVICE FOR HARD TIMES
We 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.

AUDIO; NEW YEAR RESOLUTION? IMITATE CHRIST
After a shortened reading, we review Paul's farewell message to the Ephesian Elders, reminding them how he had conducted himself during his three year ministry among them. In doing so he provides us with an outstanding role-model for Christian service and living, a model based firmly on the life and ministry of Christ himself. "Be followers of me" he says elsewhere, "as I am of Christ".

AUDIO; GOD TURNS SINNERS INTO SAINTS; A NEW YEAR MEDITATION
We celebrate the New Year but far better is the celebration of new life described by Paul; "If anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has passed away behold the new has come." The sermon based on 1 cor. 6:11, explains the threefold work of the Holy Spirit by which sinners are transformed into saints (or true believers). They are washed (regenerated), sanctified (set apart), and justified (decreed righteous in His sight) bringing them into a new relationship with God and the assurance of belonging to Him through faith in Christ

He further argued, as we do here, that Jesus' unique moral teaching ruled out the first two alternatives. In this reading from the book "What is Man?

AUDIO; ATTACKED FROM EVERY SIDE, CHRIST'S GOSPEL STILL PREVAILS
Acts 19:21–41. Pursuing his gospel ministry, Paul came under attack in Ephesus from the Jews who resented his preaching to the Gentiles, from the devotees of the pagan god Artemis (aka Diana) and from the silversmiths who grew rich selling images of Artemis. Arriving in Jerusalem he came under attack from the Jews in the temple and was arrested by the Roman authorities and eventually sent to Rome in chains. But through all these things the gospel prospered, many churches were planted and thousands came to faith in Christ. Encouragement here for us today!

AUDIO; THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
If you made an unfulfilled promise, how long would it be before you forgot it altogether? A month? A year? But God made a promise to Eve and repeated it through the ages to Abraham, Job, Moses, David, the Prophets and to John the Baptist. Now, in the fulness of time, He announces to Mary its impending fulfilment in the birth of Christ. It was an announcement that would change the world.

ESTHER AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
This episode is not the next in-depth exposition in the Book of Esther (that will come later) but a survey of the chapters (one to six) we have expounded over recent months. A Christian family visiting our church from overseas turned out to know nothing about the Book of Esther, so instead of expounding the next section as I had planned, I gave an impromptu and unprepared review of the six chapters we have already covered. Some who have followed the series also found the review helpful.

THE CHURCH THAT LOST ITS LOVE FOR CHRIST
In Rev..2:1–7 Christ commends the church in Ephesus for their abundant works and faithful testimony in such a way that we might consider Ephesus to be a perfect church. Yet at the same time he threatens to remove its lampstand (close it down). What's the problem? Their works were indeed outstanding but their motivation for doing those works had ceased to be love for Christ. We turn to 1 Cor. 13 to see that even the most amazing acts of self sacrifice and service are worthless in the eyes of God unless they are motivated by love for Christ. We are ch...

CHRIST AMONG THE CHURCHES; ENCOURAGING LESSONS FOR TODAY
Revelation 1:9–20 explores the nature and character of local churches, then and now, but does so from two different perspectives, earthly and heavenly.The earthly perspective sees the churches enduring persecution, imperfection and internal conflict, all of which the Apostle John experienced first-hand. But the heavenly perspective shows us the local church and its leaders symbolised respectively by a priceless golden lampstand and golden stars in Christ's right hand. The message emphasizes the church’s responsibility to shine-out the gospel, rely on Christ’s sustaining grace, and honour its leaders.

Revelation 1:4–8 highlights three descriptions of the Person of Christ — the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth — and connects these with the works of Christ — he reveals the unseen Father, he saves by his death and resurrection all who trust in him, and makes believers spiritual kings and priests. The episode closes by looking ahead to Christ’s return and the affirmation that God, as the Alpha and Omega, is sovereign over all things.

CHRIST'S GLORY IN JOHN'S VISION
John’s vision of the glorified Christ (Rev. 1:9-18) shows Jesus as "one like the Son of Man" walking among seven lampstands endowed with priestly robes, white hair, eyes like flames, feet of refined brass, a voice like many waters, a two‑edged sword from his mouth, and a face shining like the sun. We explain that these features are apocalyptic symbols representing the deeper spiritual realities of Christ's person, authority, word and work, realities that strengthen, comfort and encourage believers in all ages.

OVERCOMERS AND THE TREE OF LIFE
Does this closing verse of the letter to Ephesus (Rev. 2:7) teach that people have access to the tree of life because they overcome, or do they overcome because they have already eaten its fruit? We show that the fruit in question symbolises the eternal life that believers have in Christ and that those who have received that gift from Christ must necessarily overcome whatever problems and difficulties life might bring. We also recognise here a warning to those who do not trust in Christ for salvation and who are only nominal Christians, that they will not overcome. The episode...

PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO THE GODLESS
In Acts 17:14–34 Paul debates with Epicurean and Stoic philosophers, and preaches on Mars Hill about the true Creator — the God they called "unknown." He exposes the emptiness of idols, calls people to repentance, and proclaims Jesus’ resurrection as the basis for judgment and hope. The passage shows how God’s truth can be proclaimed in an idol worshipping and immoral culture and how the gospel meets people where they are. Helpful lessons here for us in modern godless cultures, where we wll find that God has left clues providing a point of entry for the gospel.

He uses understanding and reasoning to engage idol-worshipping thinkers rather than confronting and attacking them.

We examine Jesus as the Good Shepherd, explaining what qualifies him uniquely to bear that title. He owns His sheep, watches over them, and saves them. It contrasts true shepherding with false leaders, cults, and hirelings who exploit followers. Drawing on passages from John 10:7-20 and Acts, Isaiah, Luke, Romans, Hebrews, and 1 Peter, the message highlights the Father’s love-gift of the flock to his Son, Christ’s personal care for each believer, Christ’s self-sacrifice to bear our sin, and his resurrection to justify his prople and declare his victory over sin.

AUDIO; THE WISDOM OF THE CROSS
In 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.

HOW GOD GUIDED PAUL; HISTORY AND PRINCIPLE
Acts 16:6–12. 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.

AUDIO; WORLDVIEWS AT WAR; THE BIBLICAL VIEW
This episode breaks down the biblical worldview presented by the Apostle Paul in Acts 17 where he addressed the Athenian philosophers.. 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.

In Lystra Paul meets Timothy, a respected young disciple of Jewish heritage with a Greek father (Acts 15 and16). 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. We too need mentors throughout our Christian lives that, like Timothy, we also might bear fruit to God's glory.

AUDIO; 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.

Acts 15:22–41 recount the final outcome of the Council of Jerusalem council’s, namely the letter to the Gentile churches, the guidance given to preserve Jewish–Gentile fellowship, and the importance of mature churches encourageing younger ones. It also shows how God even uses the sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas over John Mark to create two missionary teams in the place of one, hastening the spread of the gospel to the Gentiles and demonstrating that all things do work together for good.

AUDIO; PREACHING CHRIST IN THE SPIRIT'S POWER (GALATIANS 7)
Although Paul did not learn the gospel from the Apostles, the Council of Jerusalem established finally that he preached a gospel identical to that of the Apostles. This "apostolic gospel" had been revealed separately to Paul and the original Apostles, a fact that underwrites it's divine origin. But the success of this gospel depends also on its being preached "not in word only" but in the [power of] the Holy Spirit. who also brings unity in the gospel and good works as the fruit of grace.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY, KNOW YOUR GOD (ESTHER 6)
Before Esther and Mordecai can implement their plan to save the Jews from Haman’s genocidal edict, there are four things that Esther must know. She must know (1) "the times", (2) the King, (3) Haman, her enemy, and (4) her God. She arranges a private feast for the King and Haman during which she observes both Haman’s implacable intentions and the King's dislike of Haman's pride. Haman plans to have Mordecai executed the following day but God sovereignly frustrates his plan that very night, as the King, unable to sleep, reads the record of Mordecai’s unrewarded service, and determines to honour...

We explore Galatians 2:3–5 ("Free in Christ" chapter 6) seeing how Judaizing teachers threatened the gospel by mixing faith with works and seeking to impose the Old Covenant on Gentile believers. Paul’s account of the Jerusalem Council, the role of Titus, and his warning against returning to the law are summarized, emphasizing that salvation is by faith in Christ alone and that accepting circumcision as a requirement for salvation undermines the New Covenant in Christ.

We examine Haman's edict to annihilate the Jews throughout the vast Persian Empire, how he secured royal authority and funding, and the terrifying scope of the edict. We follow the response of the Jews—fasting (implying urgent prayer) and Esther’s risky decision to act following Mordecai’s prophetic words that God had brought Esther to the kingdom “for such a time as this.” We develop themes of hatred versus God’s justice, the power of prayer, and our dependence on God if we find ourselves without human support.

In Gal. 1:10 to 2:16 we see Paul engaged in two battles as he fights for the purity of the gospel. 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.

TRUST GOD'S WISDOM NOT MAN'S
In 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. Paul expounds the profound contrast between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God. He defines the wisdom of the world as any wisdom, however prized by man that is ineffective in enabling us to know God (not just to know about God). Meanwhile, God's wisdom, working through the Holy Spirit, Scriptures, and the Saviour, provides the path to true knowledge and salvation. (Previously published in 2022).

In this lesson, we have an extended discussion with Dr. Andrews about the content from his new book, and spend ample time on the scientific and biblical arguments to view Adam as a historical figure. In this lesson, you’ll learn: Why “science” has not at all disproven the notion of an original created pair. ...
