Is God Green Part 1: God, the World and Jesus

I’ve preached this series a number of times over the years – here’s the latest edition (this time with a slightly croaky voice). Before you listen to the talk, you might find it helpful to read this introductory piece which contains the things I didn’t have time to include in the sermon.

Thanks to Sandy Grant for providing the idea for the title – and his encouragement for me to put this series together in the first place.

Talks on the Authority and Sufficiency of the Bible

Here are two talks I recently gave on the doctrines of the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. Unfortunately the more detailed application is missing from the first talk because the laptop that was recording the talks ran out of battery partway through my talk! However, there’s still about 50 minutes of material in both talks.

John Calvin on Union with Christ

Contrary to some modern caricatures, predestination is not at the centre of Calvin’s teaching on the Christian life. Calvin, whose 500th birthday we’ve just celebrated, certainly taught and defended predestination; but the biblical heartbeat of his teaching about the Christian life is Union with Christ.

Preached at St Michael’s Anglican Cathedral, Wollongong, on 19 July 2009, at 7pm.
