Podcast

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.

BANTER – Outside the CampRead More

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.

BANTER – A Pilgrimage of HopeRead More

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.

BANTER – I am SICK of Children’s PanadolRead More

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.

BANTER – An Anchor of HopeRead More

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon.  The enigmatic figure of Melchizedek is only mentioned twice in the Old Testament (Gen. 14 & Ps. 110) and then out of the blue, suddenly appears in the letter to the Hebrews. M&M take a deep dive on the significance of Melchizedek.  They ruminate on the significance of Kings, Priests and in turn what these two roles look like in conjunction, they question how the foreign character of Melchizedek informs our perspective and engagement with "the other" in our faith walk, and look at a special mention of Melchizedek in the Dead Sea Scrolls - oh, it's gonna get real nerdy today.
