Dr. Ajith Fernando - "God's Missionary Heart"
Jonah was delivered from the pit of despair to then be a pivotal part of a mass revival in the city of Nineveh.
In response, God showed mercy by sparing the city from judgement, yet Jonah was angry at God for showing compassion in this way.
Jonah's best prayer was in the worst place (Fish's Belly) and his worst prayer was in the best place (post-revival).
In the final message in the series "Grappling with God's Missionary Heart", Dr. Fernando challenges us to consider our reactions to God when we are confused or frustrated for not clearly knowing God's will for the nations.

Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali - "The Bible Today: Its Claim for All People & Cultures"
There is no doubt that the 21st century has seen a technology revolution, which, in turn, has lead to an explosion of information being fed to us all the time. While this can be perceived as a positive thing, how do we relate this to God's word?
Is this new information influencing our perceptions and understanding of the Bible and the way we live?
Or does the Bible reign supreme in our understanding God, faith and living?
Today, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali deliberates these issues in his Keswick Lecture "The Bible Today: its claim for all people and cultures".

Dr. Chris Wright - "Proclaiming God's Saviour"
Today we read from Acts 4, and in part of that passage we read that the apostles Peter and John are reprimanded for speaking in the name of Jesus, to which they boldly reply, "Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
What gave them such confidence to withstand the scorn hurled at them by their fellow Jews?
And can we have the same confidence in the Bible - in which these claims are found - and have confidence to proclaim these claims?

Dr. Chris Wright - "Spreading God's Name"
