The Grace Course

This is a partial teaching walking through Romans 3-8.

It’s quite in depth. But at the same time very easy to follow along.

In it we talk about sin, faith, righteousness, identity, love and the law.

There are a couple of introductory sessions on creation, identity, God and the Bible which lay a great foundation for the module as a whole.

It was done at the ministry school I help run and is in some ways a very basic foundation to what we do in the school.

This is what I consider the 101 module of Christianity.

But don’t let that fool you into thinking you don’t need it.

I’ve found that many Christians in the church today don’t know the basics of who they are in Christ.

In this module, we discuss why God created us in the first place, what it means to be created in God’s image and likeness, who we are in Christ, what is the sinful nature, what does it look like to mature in the Christian walk and how we can do that.

This module is one of my favourites. Why?

Because it changed my life so dramatically.

Growing up as a Christian I was never really sure what to do with the law. It was the elephant in the room. The New Testament was full of scriptures saying that Christians were not under the law. But God gave the law and told us to keep it!

Because of that, I lived most of my life with one foot firmly in each covenant.

In this module, we discuss what role the law plays in the walk of a Christian. We’ll look from Genesis right through the NT and study what really is going on with the law being given in Exodus (and discover it existed long before that) and what it means for us today as Christians.

Join me on this module and discover the glorious truth that Christians are not under the law – it’s the true key to living a holy lifestyle.

Tithing is a big part of church today.

But should it be?

We are told that the Bible teaches us that we are to give 10% of our income to the local church to support the “work of the Lord”.

But where does it say that?

In this module, we look through the Bible to see what it actually has to say about tithing and evaluate what does it look like to give as a New Covenant believer.

2. Tithing Before the Law
3. Tithing in Law
4. Tithing According to Malachi
5. Jesus on Tithing

7. Historic Tithing & How to Give

The Bible. It’s what we build our faith on! Wait… no that’s Jesus.

But the Bible is a big deal.

In this module, we look at what the Bible is and how we should approach it in our lives.

*This is a work in progress… more videos to come soon!*
Total Time – 2 Hr 9 Minutes

1. The Bible is Not the Word of God
2. Translations: Composition & Which One to Read
3. Have You Made The Bible an Idol?
4. The Bible: As Clear as Mud!

For more on this topic check out the talk on the Bible from my Romans series…

5. How We Read the Bible

This is a work in process – currently there is just the introduction video.

There will be a few more videos to come where we look at the various views in more detail.

Till then it’s a good place to start and we will be discussing it a lot more on the Facebook group.

Total Time – 1 Hr 1 Minute

1. What the Hell?

This is a one video module.

We love to talk about judgement – when will it be, who will be doing it and all importantly – who will be judged and how.

But what if there is a huge element of judgement that we are completely missing out on?

Total Time – 59 Minutes

1. Judgement

This is a recording of a series of talks I did as part of a conference called “Is God Really Good?: What to do When God Doesn’t Look Like Jesus?”

It’s not for the faint of heart – we look at really tough stuff here but my goal is for us to look at the hard stuff so we can be honest with the scriptures and figure out how we should be approaching them in a healthy Christ-centred way.

Total Time – 2hrs 13 Minutes

1. Part 1: The Uncomfortable Truth
2. Part 2: How the Jews Read the Scriptures
3. Part 3 – How Jesus Read the Scriptures

This is a one video module. (for now)

Many won’t recognise the term “Open Theism” it’s not a commonly talked about view. But it is one that deeply interests me.

In all of the discussions of the future, most Christians seem to take the position that either God predetermines the future ahead of time or that He gives us free-will.

The problem is when you look more closely these positions are only fractionally different if God knows the future. If He knows what you would do with your free-will then were you ever really free to do it? Surely He could have made you less stubborn, more stubborn, more spiritual, less religious etc. etc.

What Open Theism looks at is a crazy theory at first glance. What if God chooses not to know the future but to instead enter into the present fully with us?

Bear with this one as it’s a very interesting topic and has a lot of scripture to back it up!

Total Time – 48 Minutes

1. Open Theism – Is the Future Set in Stone?

This module is a work in progress. It’s my most requested topic so I’ve been working hard over the last year to put something together for you all.

Currently there are only videos on Homosexuality – the most requested topic. But before long we’ll have videos covering topics like, sex, marriage, dating, singleness, divorce, gender identity etc.

The goal is to look at this topic from a range of different perspectives. We’ll weigh up the pros and cons of each view. I won’t be forcing one view down your throat but instead hopefully giving you the information and tools to chat with Holy Spirit and study this to your own conclusion.

I don’t want to see everyone agreeing on these topics – I think ultimately that’s an impossibility – rather my goal is that we can all discuss these topics healthily and see where the other is coming from.

So here’s to the journey! Hope you enjoy the videos.
