John 4 - Why are you asking me for a drink?
Jesus talking with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4 is an excellent story to explore for this week's lesson "Seeing People Through Jesus’ Eyes". [Abrupt endin...

Psalm 131 - Wait with hope
Psalm 131 is just one verse each for Cameron, Lachlan, and Ken - but there's plenty to discuss. Imagery of God as a mother is explored (a week late for Mother's Day, u...
Psalm 127 - The bread of anxious toil
We take a look at Psalm 127, attributed to Solomon. It turns out to have fascinating relevance for our modern world, and our attempts to summarise end up being longer ...
Psalm 91 - For He will deliver you
Cam, Lachlan, and Ken learn from some listener comments, and explore the almost unbearable positivity of Psalm 91.
