Preaching Programme

As Christians, it’s important that we let the Bible speak on its own terms, drawing out the themes and content it presents us with. But it is just as valid to come to Scripture with our own questions and ask what wisdom it offers in response. That is what this series sets out to do: to explore how we might respond as Christians to the everyday things that fill our lives, from what we eat and drink to the news we follow and the television we watch.

Despite its many treasured and memorable passages, such as Psalm 23 and Isaiah 53, many Christians regard much of the Old Testament as more of a hindrance than a help to their faith.

Many of its stories seem violent, distasteful, or simply strange.

In this series, we will look at four of these stories, being honest about what they contain while also showing how, through these very characteristics rather than in spite of them, they point us toward Jesus.
