That's a Great Question: Does God have a Split Personality? | Randy Edwards

Why does God seem to act so differently in the Old Testament compared with the New Testament? It’s critical to consider the context and culture of the various events recorded throughout the Bible in answering this question. In this sermon we are delighted to welcome guest speaker Randy Edwards to HumeRidge where he will guide us through this process to discover God’s character. About Randy: Randy Edwards, accompanied by his wife Marie, arrived in Australia in 1977 to fill in as a lecturer at Kenmore Christian College in Brisbane. That year became 35 years during which he had two stints as Principal of the college, initiated the merger of Kenmore with the Sydney College, was integral in undertaking three complete revisions of the curriculum, and enabled the college to adopt a distance education programme that allowed students to remain in their home church where they were supported by those around them. Having obtained Masters degrees in both New and Old Testament, he sought to help students read scripture in its original context and then apply their learning in both churches and contemporary society. He has been particularly focused on preparing students for the changing world rather than just for the present. For over 18 years he led an alternative church whose focus was to reach those who would not attend a traditional church service. During that time, he and his wife also volunteered to help feed the homeless in Fortitude Valley on weekends and public holidays. Now retired, he tries to encourage the next generation of Christian leaders who seek to be relevant in a very fast changing world. If you enjoyed this sermon please consider subscribing.
