Not Fake News: Part 9 - From Pearl Harbour to the Pearly Gates

Not Fake News: Part 9 - From Pearl Harbour to the Pearly Gates

We’ve all heard the term ‘fake news’ - Donald Trump made sure we did. If something’s fake, we can be sure it’s false. There’s a true story about an elderly gentleman who was so animated in his preaching of the gospel - God’s Good News - that at one point his full set of false teeth flew out of his mouth and clattered onto the floor. With no more ado, he calmly descended from the pulpit and collected his teeth from the floor in front of his audience. By the time he’d returned to the pulpit and was facing his audience once more, the teeth were already back in his mouth, and he continued quite unfazed by announcing to his spell-bound listeners: ‘There’s nothing false about the Gospel!’

It's that gospel of good news which is the subject of this series of mini-sermons from Bible teacher Brian Johnston.

Incredible Unbelief: Part 5 - The Origin of Morality

Part 5: The Origin of Morality

Discover magazine once announced: “The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing—zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.” Why do apparently intelligent people resort to believing in magic (miraculous events without any sufficient explanation or cause)? Former nuclear scientist Brian Johnston explores five ways atheists (materialists) believe in magic – in relation to the origin of (1) the universe, (2) stars, (3) life, (4) biodiversity, and (5) morality.

Guardians of the Gate - Part 9

In this series, we join the writer of the Book of Chronicles as he records when God opened the way for his people to return from an enforced exile and to resume their previous temple service for Him in Jerusalem.  Brian Johnston explores the valuable lessons that we can learn from the multi-faceted temple gate-keepers, who were the guards of the temple entrances, the supervising stewards of the people’s contributions, the temple’s night-watchmen, those responsible for admitting into its precincts only those who had a right to be there, the keepers of an inventory of the temple equipment, and the supervisors of the worship ingredients.

Finding Christ in the Old Testament - Part 13: The Sign of Jonah

Finding Christ in the Old Testament - Part 13: The Sign of Jonah

“They said to one another, ‘Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?’” (Lk.24:27:32) Burning hearts! The inevitable result of having the Bible explained so it all begins to make sense and the person and work of Christ, its central character, comes into sharper focus. I used to think it would be wonderful to know what Old Testament incidents, symbols and themes the Lord unpacked for them. The way to do it seems obvious now! Wouldn't they be the same things that he and his Apostles spoke about - things that were later recorded and expounded in the New Testament? This series is the result of that thought process and picks up on these themes using as near as possible the order in which we encounter them in the Old Testament.
