In the opening episode, Joel Lacey and Alasdair MacPherson discuss the widespread issue of pornography and its grip on today’s society. They identify that sexual desires in the right context are a good thing, as part of God’s creation. However, in the wrong context, they are sinful. They investigate the scriptural perspective of lust and habitual sin, describing impurity as an idolatry issue that needs to be addressed at the heart-level, not merely with external measures; at the heart of the problem is the problem of the heart.

What happens when what you’re building doesn’t look as impressive as what came before?
In this second and final episode of Consider your Ways, Josh Kaye & Iain Jamieson explore Haggai chapter 2 and its powerful lesson about perspective . The people rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem were discouraged because the new temple seemed small and unimpressive compared to Solomon’s magnificent one. Their disappointment threatened to drain their motivation and overshadow the progress they were making. Through the prophet Haggai, God challenges their perspective.

This conversation looks at:
•⁠ ⁠The importance of looking back, but the danger of nostalgia
•⁠ ⁠Why the Bible calls us to fix our eyes on Christ in the circumstances of life
•⁠ ⁠How different perspectives can lead to disunity in the church
•⁠ ⁠How God’s future purposes in Christ should shape our perspective
Join us for a challenging conversation, as we respond to God’s call to consider our ways.
