The Words and Works of the Wise
William Philip
In this week's Talking Points podcast, Agnes, Paul, and Willie discuss how we, as Christians today, should think rightly about the earthly land of Israel and how this relates to the fulfilment of God's promises in time. They also discuss how the Old and New Testaments relate to one another and how we should teach Christ from the Old Testament.
In the course of the discussion Paul mentions a helpful article by Sinclair Ferguson on preaching Christ from the Old Testament. You can find this article here: https://cst-media.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/doc-sferguson-peachingchrist.pdf

Saving Faith Can Be Seen

To mark the launch of our latest Tron Books publication we're delighted to bring you the first chapter of How God Treats His Friends read by the author, Bob Fyall.
The book is available to buy now online and will also be available at a special price in our Tron bookrooms from this Sunday. For more details, visit our website at tron.church/books
Tron Books are delighted to be re-publishing Bob Fyall's excellent book, How God Treats His Friends. This accessible and deeply insightful study of the book of Job helps readers grapple with one of Scripture’s most profound explorations of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
In the lead up to the launch this weekend, Tron Books team member Kate Johnston sat down with Bob to ask him a few questions about the book and its major themes.
Bob not only understands the Bible but understands people and he draws on his many years of Biblical study and pastoral ministry to help us understand how the book of Job works, how we should think about suffering in the Christian life, and how we might comfort friends and loved ones going through hardship.
How God Treats His Friends will be available to buy at all of our Tron locations this Sunday and, for those further afield, it can also be found online. Full details of where to find it, as well as all of our other Tron Book publications, are available on our website at tron.church/books.

The Law of Indiscriminate Love

Luke 1:1-4, 24:50-53
The Climax of Certainty
Josh Johnston
Why is it important for us as Christians, and us as a Church, to have a clear vision for what we want to see in the future? How can we play to our strengths and use what God has given us to most effectively reach the world with the gospel? Why is it a temptation for the church to align itself to those who 'blaspheme the honourable name by which we were called'?
Fraser and Willie discuss these questions in light the sermons we heard at our services Sunday on Luke 24 and James 2. If you haven't yet listened to these sermons you can find them on our podcast feed, on our church website, or our YouTube channel.

Solid Assurance for a Global Mission
Josh Johnston
In this week's episode of Talking Points, Katie, Josh, and Paul discuss the sermons from Sunday on Luke 24 and James 1. They cover the importance of having our expectations right on what the Christian life will look like, having confidence in the whole Bible, and in responding rightly when the Bible challenges our behaviour.
James 1:19b-27
Growing Right? Or Growing Wrong?
William Philip
Luke 24:13-35
Hearts Aflame: From Sorrow to Joyful Witness
Josh Johnston
Talking Points is back and this week Agnes, Josh, and Willie are here to discuss the issue of sinful desire on the back of Willie's sermon on James 1:12-21 from last Sunday.
James 1:15 says that, 'desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin' which might lead us to think that the desire itself is not actually sinful. However, sin is bitter from root to fruit and our desires can be sinful as well as the 'actual sin' which. Understanding this helps us to see our sin problem more clearly which in turn helps us to respond rightly in repentance and lament of our sinfulness but also in rejoicing at the greatness of the salvation which is ours in Christ.
