"Judgement & Salvation" | Biblical Themes Part 4: Water
Welcome to part 4 in our theme study. In this episode we will be talking about water, and specifically how we see water used scripturally within the context of judgement and also within the context of salvation, which we call the water of life. Both reflections of this one thematic image pervade all scripture from beginning to end, and like every good theme culminates in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Join us as we dive into the scriptures and learn about how God uses water to tell the story of the gospel.
"The Tree of Life" | Biblical Themes Part 3: Trees
Welcome to part 3 in our themes study. In this episode we discuss the theme of trees in the Bible. When trees appear in scripture, we're tempted to just see them as mere details in the story. Our argument, however, is that is most certainly not the case. Trees play important roles in the story of the Bible and play a significant role in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Join us as we dive into the Old and New Testaments and discuss the theology behind the imagery of trees.
"The Chaotic Wasteland" | Biblical Themes Part 2: Wilderness
This is the second part, but third episode, in our new themes study. In this episode we discuss the theme of wilderness in scripture. Throughout the Bible there are multiple stories where the author wants to depict spaces where human life does not flourish. These are the chaos spaces or "wilderness" places, which are adverse to the ordered world humanity needs in order to live. The great surprise of the theme is that in God's loving kindness He chooses to enter those spaces to rescue His people. During these moments in the stories we see the workings of the Gospel message being worked out before Jesus arrives on the scene to perform His grand Exodus as our new Moses.
"The Burning Man" | Biblical Themes Part 1: Fire
In this episode we trace the theme of fire throughout scripture. Fire is an important image that appears in the early parts of scripture and get's developed throughout the Bible. We see it in Eden, in the priestly duties, in judgement moments, and even in the spiritual beings. The theme culminates in the person and work of Jesus. Join us as we discuss how the fiery moments of scripture help to inform the Gospel message.
Is the New Testament Reliable?
In todays episode we summarize and deal with common objections brought against the reliability of the New Testament. As Christians we should be prepared to give answers to those critiquing the holy scriptures. The transmission of the New Testament is something all Christians should be familiar with, and we hope this episode acts as an introduction to the topic of textual criticism and apologetics.

Gospel of the Kingdom (Part 2)
In this episode the hosts discuss the theme of Kingdom throughout the Bible. Part one primarily focuses on the Old Testament, and why particularly this theme was a message of good news (Gospel) in their day.
Join us in two weeks for Part 2 where the hosts dive into the New Testament and discuss how Jesus picks up on the kingdom language of the Old Testament in his own announcement of the good news (Gospel).
