What Is God's Will for Your Life?

What is God’s will, for your life and for the world? Is God’s will even something we should seek to know? If so, how can we be assured we’ve gotten it right? In this video, Prof. Wright takes a general view of “the will of God” for creation as a basis for uncovering what God desires specifically for each of our individual lives.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111

What Communion Accomplishes

Breaking bread. The Lord’s Supper. Holy Eucharist. The body and blood. The Mass. Communion. Every Christian tradition has some kind of relationship to this special act that Jesus commanded us to observe. Why did Jesus institute the practice, and what exactly happens when we eat and drink the elements referred to as Jesus’s body and blood? Prof. Wright explores this most central of traditions as a means of sharing in Jesus’s death and expressing our unity with God’s purposes.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111

God's Judgment Isn't What You Think It Is

Fire, in the Bible, is an element of paradoxes. Fire burns up, but also purifies. It judges, but also refines. The Bible uses the connection between God and fire not as a simple sign of anger, but as an appropriate warning that because God loves creation and people, God wants the very best for both. Prof. Wright contends that this requires a purging of everything less than the very best. In the end, all will encounter God’s fire. But this won’t be a simple case of God casting off everything and starting from scratch. That which desecrates God’s creation will be destroyed, but that which honors God’s creation, rather than being destroyed by the fire, will be purified, like precious metal, to shine out as more truly that which it was created to be.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111

Lament Might Be the Missing Element of Your Faith

Anyone who has been a Christian for any amount of time will recognize an apparent mismatch between their beliefs about God’s goodness and their experience of the world’s evil. Fortunately, the Bible fully testifies to this dissonant reality, even offering a model for how to faithfully hold this paradox together. It’s called lament, and it’s a vital, but often underappreciated component of Christian life.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111

What You Believe About Salvation Matters

For the final episode in our series “Thinking Through Salvation,” we revisit our opening assumptions about the link between salvation and common conceptions of heaven. If our standard idea of an otherworldly, disembodied heaven isn’t the biblical picture, is there anything wrong with hoping for something of that sort? What might we be missing out on by concentrating on that picture?To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111

The Many Meanings of the Cross

How, in the span of a generation, did the cross go from an obvious sign of failure, punishment, and brutality to one of victory, glory, and love? In this video, Prof. Wright explores the many meanings of the cross as history’s definitive turning point and a guiding symbol for millions of people around the world.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111

If You Want to Pray Effectively, Pray Constantly

Most Christians recognize prayer as a vital part of the spiritual life and desire to know not only how to pray effectively but also what our prayers actually accomplish. As for how, the Bible, somewhat unhelpfully, answers, “Constantly!” To really understand that, we’ll need to rethink what the mystery of prayer really means.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111

Salvation is What Happens When God's Love Meets Human Sin

This episode rounds out the basic questions of salvation by asking who gets saved, when that happens, and why salvation occurs and is necessary. Most Christians probably have ready answers to these questions, but Prof. Wright unpacks the deep resonances behind each of these, unfurling a robust vision of salvation for this present life.To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1749/29 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1750/29?v=20251111
