Nobody known the day or the hour at which Christ will return. How, then, should we live?

As we conclude our series in the Song of Songs we look beyond the love between the two lovers, to the love that this song points to - the love that has defeated death - the love of God in Christ Jesus.

This week we see God's plan to bring evil to an end once and for all in the line of Judah. Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:53:40 -0800 Rory Shiner http://ourmedia.org/node/463942 In our final two weeks in Genesis we will look at 2 sons of Jacob: Joseph and Judah. Next week we'll look at God's plans for the world, while this week we see how God works in the world to bring about his purposes. In Genesis 37-50 God is largely not mentioned, but even in this more secular story we see God's hands constantly at work behind the scenes to bring about his purposes. Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:29:19 -0700 Rory Shiner http://ourmedia.org/node/462041 We continue to look at the life of Jacob in 3 encounters: with Laban, with Esau and with God himself. Jacob who has spent his life trying to be somebody else, who has nothing to claim for himself, is laid bear before the almighty. Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:07:38 -0700 Rory Shiner http://ourmedia.org/node/460579 Jacob is not a man of great character, wisdom or insight. He is at best a cunning deceiver. Yet Jacob is an encouragement: God chose Jacob - the second born son, the weaker brother. God chooses weak and sinful people and achieves his purposes through them.

This week Rory attempts to plumb the depths of this story: exploring the implications not only of the faithfulness of Abraham, but - more importantly - of the faithfulness of God. Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:15:47 -0700 Rory Shiner http://ourmedia.org/node/458145 We return to Genesis this week and land in the middle of the story of Sodom, focusing in on this most fascinating dialogue between Abraham and God. In it there is much to learn about the justice and mercy of God, who is willing to pardon the sins of the many for the sake of the righteousness of the few.

He spoke from 1 Samuel 1 and showed how this one chapter opens up the books of Samuel as a whole - to show us a vision of our sovereign God who is working his purposes out: the God of the helpless and the powerless.

He opened the most quoted OT passage in the New Testament - Psalm 110, exploring the profound influence it had on the minds of the apostles and their understanding of the Christ who reigns.
