"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.

"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.

Join us as we discuss how the fiery moments of scripture help to inform the Gospel message.

Jonah and the Gospel with Timothy Brindle

In this episode we have special guest Timothy Brindle on to discuss the Old Testament book of Jonah. For those who grew up in the church, Jonah and the "Whale" is a classic story told and retold throughout our lives. It's tempting to think we understand the book's meaning because of its familiarity, but the key to correct interpretation is seeing Christ in the story. Join us as we discuss with Tim the various themes that help to illuminate this particular minor prophet, and how Jesus is the better Jonah.
