Running to Win
October 19, 2015 08:33 - 32 minutes - 30.1 MBLiving as followers of Jesus Christ is often compared to running a race - not a quick sprint but a long, arduous marathon.

Disorder - Genesis 3:1-24
September 22, 2015 19:46 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MBEvery language has a word for evil. It is pervades and invades every aspect of creation. In the biblical view, evil is essentially the evidence of a disordered universe. God has designed the universe to function in a certain way. When you follow the design plan, you flourish. When you disregard it, you wither. Evil is the consequence of disregarding the design plan. Evil is a universe in disorder.
Tumaini - Susan Wilson
September 22, 2015 19:43 - 46 minutes - 42.7 MBSusan Wilson, founder of the Tumaini charity, joined us to share inspirational stories of God's work in Tanzania.
Sin
September 11, 2015 21:50 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBThe central truth that helps us understand God's design plan is that the biblical God is Creator and humans (and all the universe with them), creation. Sin, in essence, is a disregard for these basic truths. When viewed in this way, Sin expresses itself in two ways: pride, where I take the place of God and/or self-contempt, where I undervalue the goodness with which God has made me and the rest of creation.
Moral Design
September 03, 2015 09:56 - 30 minutes - 28 MBGod has created the universe in line with his own character and nature. God's creation flourishes when it functions according to his design plan. This principle is applied to the moral design of the universe. We ultimately learn what the moral design of creation, what is right or wrong, good or evil as we are rooted in relationship with the Creator God of the Bible.
Design (Genesis 1 & 2)
August 24, 2015 16:16 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBGod has created this universe and designed it to function in line with his own moral nature.
