Imagine someone being the leader of the whole Earth riding down a cafe strip on a push bike…”Ummm what?”. Well, enter Jesus…Who in His actions on Palm Sunday shows us a different vision for Kingship and, subsequently, a different vision for the world. Note: Audio quality is not great due to not using my podcast … Continue reading Palm Sunday: “Ummm What?!”

Palm Sunday: “Ummm What?!”

In my study. Overwhelmed by how Jesus does Love & Power… This is a short improvisation sermon I did on the spot and randomly decided to record on my iPhone (So don’t expect studio quality). “True power looks like getting on our knees and washing feet”. Yep…Smelly feet. Be blessed. See more at https://www.nathanforster.com or https://www.facebook.com/nathan.forster/  

Jesus- The Redefinition of Power in Servant Like Love

So sometimes I have been told that I force Jesus into movies when I point out God lessons in film. But I want to propose another way of looking at it: If we are all made in the image of God then at some level, even if someone is being super rebellious against God, some … Continue reading Reading Jesus into movies? Or discerning something deeper that’s always been there?

Reading Jesus into movies? Or discerning something deeper that’s always been there?

Death is all around us. It is, along with birth, one of the two absolute constants about reality. But what if that has changed forever? See more at https://www.nathanforster.com or https://www.facebook.com/nathan.forster/

Default Mode Changed. From Death To Resurrection

This is a sermon based on Matthew 5:21-30. These are some of the most difficult passages to speak on, but when talked about in light of God’s Kingdom and the driving ethic of God’s Kingdom being about love, we can better make sense of what God so desires for us and why it’s liberating to … Continue reading Ethics of God’s New World Part I

Christmas Message 2016

This teaching podcast is about the relationship between these two truths: “Jesus as Saviour” and “Jesus as Lord”. My reflection is that seeing these two things as sharply divided is actually unhelpful, that rather, seeing these two truths bound up in each other brings fresh and lifegiving insights to how we view salvation, freedom, and … Continue reading How “Jesus as Lord” and “Jesus as Saviour” are bound up together- not separate

How “Jesus as Lord” and “Jesus as Saviour” are bound up together- not separate

When we fail we often say “Hey, I’m only human”. Whilst I understand that it’s normal to fail, I would argue that it’s wrong to label that as what our humanity is. No, our humanity isn’t defined by our failures- that’s missing the mark of our humanity. Our humanity is defined by being a person made … Continue reading ”We are only human” shouldn’t be about how we fail

The Election 2016

Sometimes people will get mad a us for following Jesus. That is true. But sometimes people will get mad at us and we’ll say “It’s because I’m following Jesus” but actually it will be because we are being an asshole and we are just using Jesus as an excuse. This short podcast explores this. See more at … Continue reading Persecution Complex

Persecution Complex

The phrase “It’s not about religion but about relationship” can either be a powerful statement or a really bad one depending on what we think Jesus came to do. Explore what I mean in this latest ‘thought’ podcast See more at https://www.nathanforster.com or https://www.facebook.com/nathan.forster/

Is it all about a relationship with God? Depends.

  We address the common question “Why would a good and loving God allow evil & suffering?”. Of course, the question is always deeper and more personal. In this Podcast we go and see how Jesus, though He doesn’t give us the definitive answer, provides us with a way of looking through suffering through the … Continue reading Suffering

THOUGHT:How do you use time?

WARNING: This podcast contains adult themes Rather than talk about the big issues in the world (such as poverty, racism etc.)-which the Christian scriptures talks heaps on- I wanted to do a more light hearted topic…Swearing! (Or cussing). What does it mean to speak differently if you are a follower of Jesus? Is swearing really wrong? So let’s … Continue reading TEACHING: Christians & swearing (cussing etc.)

TEACHING: Christians & swearing (cussing etc.)

Author Becky Pippert once said “Whatever controls us is our lord. The person who seeks power is controlled by power. The person who seeks acceptance is controlled by acceptance. We do not control ourselves. We are controlled by the lord of our lives”. What if she is right? What would it mean than to have … Continue reading MESSAGE: The Arrival of the King
