The Cross That Divides - Brian Codrington

"With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”(Mark 15:37-39) 
This Good Friday, Brian reflects on how Christ's crucifixion divides humanity and offers us all access into the presence of God.

BANTER - Outside the Camp

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon. 
As the lads wrap up Hebrews, they explore how the concepts of "home", "holy places" and living "outside the camp" apply within our modern context. They explore how we can still effectively engage with culture with a spiritual mindset and what some overarching take aways have been for them while journeying through Hebrews.

Outside the Camp - Mitch Levingston

"And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come." (Hebrews 13:12-13) 
Mitch wraps up our Hebrews series asking what it looks like for each of us to live a faith outside the safety and comfort of "the camp"

BANTER - The Race of Perseverance

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon.
The boys chat about the difference in things which "hinder" and things which "entangle" us in our faith, what it looks like within the analogy of "running the good race" to be truly prepared, the 1st century understanding of being "in the air" and "in the clouds", and most importantly how Mitch manages to maintain the physique of a Marvel superhero.

The Race of Perseverance - Mitch Levingston

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith."(Hebrews 12:1-2a)

BANTER - A Pilgrimage of Hope

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon. 
M&M explore what it means to be a spiritual pilgrim, how to helpfully frame the biblical images of fire and brimstone found offensive to a secular audience, and muse on why it's still important to gather together in worship if we as Christians are already our own temples filled with the Holy Spirit.

A Pilgrimage of Hope - Mitch Levingston

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." (Hebrews 11:1-3)

BANTER - I am SICK of Children’s Panadol

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon. 
Hebrews 9 & 10 play off a deep understanding of the functions of the High Priest, sacrificial animals and the Tabernacle. The boys delve deeper into the significance of Jesus being the newer and complete fulfilment of these 3 elements, the detrimental ways human sin effects the surrounding environment and land, and why God didn't just instate Jesus back in the Old Testament but instead related to Israel first through animal sacrifice and priestly ritual. 
They also chat negotiating naughty neighbourhood dogs and exciting additions to the Levingston family.

I am SICK of Children’s Panadol - Murray Lambert

"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance - now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant." 
Murray reflects on the powerful truth that Jesus is the ultimate High Priest; the perfect middle man, reuniting us with our Heavenly Father.

BANTER - An Anchor of Hope

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon. 
The boys dive deeper into the difficult passage of scripture in Hebrews 6 around falling away from the faith, chat about a wholistic approach to depression and anxiety, and reflect on how we can effectively respond to a cultural shift of Christians who no longer attend church. It's a meaty one, so grab a sharp steak knife and bite into this important chat around some of the big issues facing our modern church.
