    Morality: What does it mean?

    How do we work out what’s right and wrong? What does Jesus bring to the way we discern morality? How can Christians go through life making good choices when it comes to right and wrong?  This episode Keith and Paul attempt to take a top level perspective to this topic, as we try and move it out of the abstract and into the decisions we make each day.  References:  Matthew 5-7  Exodus 20 Mark 10 Psalms Hugh Mackay Michael Hill Andrew Cameron - Joined Up Life  Oliver O’Donovan - Resurrection and the Moral Order

    What are we?

    So far we’ve spent a few episodes looking at different aspects of who we are as human beings, so this episode we’re unpacking what we are.    So, what are we? We’re more than our bodies, our flesh and blood, but we’re instructed to look after our souls and our minds. What does the bible have to say about all of this? Where do we start?    Bible chapters or verses mentioned: Psalm 8 Genesis 2 Matthew 10 Matthew 16 Mark 8 Mark 8 1 Thessalonians 1 Corinthians 15 Galatians 5 Philippians 1 Hebrews Revelation    Books:  Brian Rosner - Known By God

    Where do we belong?

    Where do human beings belong? To what or whom do we belong? What is the cost of belonging? What does being made in the image of God mean when we ask where we belong? What is the church’s role in creating a place for people to belong? Keith and Paul ask and attempt to find answers to all these questions - and if you have any more questions you’d like answered or responded to, please get in touch!    References Exodus 6 and 7 1 Peter Romans 11 and 12 The City of God, Augustine of Hippo Known by God, Brian S Rosner The art of belonging, Hugh Mackay

    Unpacking hope and what's ahead

    Welcome back to season 2 of On Being People!   This episode we’re talking about hope - the ability to see beyond where you are right now.  Hope is mentioned in the bible a lot, so what makes humans capable of having hope? What is different about having hope in Jesus compared to hope in other things? What do we have to be hopeful for? Keith and Paul unpack this with a look through the bible and other references, and of course, Keith’s poetry makes a grand return.    References:  1 Thessalonians  1 Peter 1:3-5 1 Corinthians 15 Romans 8 Faith, Love and Hope, by Josef Pieper  Hope Against Hope, by Richard Bauckham and Trevor Hart
