#58: The Envy Test
Send us Fan MailThis week we trace envy through Genesis 43 and the wider Genesis story, then ask what happens in us when someone close gets favour we think they did not earn. We land on a counterintuitive cure: God’s mercy and forgiveness free us to celebrate others instead of comparing and resenting. • Joseph’s brothers returning to Egypt as a mirror for the heart • Envy in Genesis as a repeating family-pattern sin • Distinctions between coveting and envy as resentment toward a person • Shakespeare’s Iago line as a picture of envy’s ugliness • Cain and Abel as envy at another’s righteousness • James 3 on bitter envy producing disorder and every evil practice • Joseph’s “envy test” with Benjamin’s undeserved favour • Shalom and table fellowship as a sign of mercy • Paul’s question about receiving grace as an antidote to comparison • Luke 7 and the link between forgiveness and love

#56: Joyful Trembling
Send us Fan MailThis week we kick off our Easter series Joyful Trembling by sitting with Mark’s account of the empty tomb and the strange mix of fear and awe it creates.

Invite people and pray that God would be opening up people's hearts.

#38: You Will Die In Your Sins Unless You Believe Who Jesus Is
Send us Fan MailJesus makes the extraordinary claim that unless we believe he is God, we will die in our sins, connecting his identity to the divine name revealed to Moses at the burning bush.• Jesus repeatedly uses the phrase "I am he" (ego eimi) which directly connects to God's self-revelation in Exodus 3• The religious leaders understood Jesus was claiming divinity, which is why they attempted to stone him• Jesus also claims the title "Son of Man" from Daniel 7, another declaration of his divine authority• When confronted by the high priest, Jesus' claim to be the Son of Man results in charges of blasphemy• Jesus' claims to deity cannot be separated from his ethical teachings - they are fundamentally connected• If Jesus is merely human, his death means nothing; if he is God, his death brings eternal life• We must respond to Jesus' claims - there is no neutral position or "sitting on the fence"Join us next Sunday as we begin a four-week miniseries on the book of Acts, examining the basics of Christianity and what the early church practiced.
