Cairns Road Weekly Podcast

In this episode Maki and Peter answer questions to do:
-with the parable of f the soil -is this parable about soil wholly passive on the part of the soil?Or can we learn something which is relevant to making ourselves good (or better) soil? 
-with the secrecy or privacy theme of Jesus' healing and teaching and its mystery in the Gospels. 

Join Peter Turnill and Maki as they look back briefly at Restore22/23 Bible reading and launch the new focus in the gospel of Luke and book of Acts for the next 6-7 months.  

Restore 24 slower and deeper...still on Bible detail, but new emphasis on doctrine and discipleship (doctrine=what do we believe?; discipleship=what do we do?) 

Why Luke-Acts?  

Gives us the whole span, not just Jesus story, but the follow on with the birth of the church and the global mission!

Helps us to think about our own mission in Westbury Park and beyond !

How to begin a Gospel? 

Each evangelist starts his own way but Luke gives us John’s origin story, interwoven with Jesus’; in fact, he starts with John’s parents: why?  

We answer questions on how can one be led by the Spirit and what does Jesus mean with saying that the paralysed man's sins were forgiven?
