The wilderness experience: does God use pain to teach?

Adventist Record — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 06:00:00 +1100

"In my life, it’s often my own hubris that brings me into the desert place. And when confronted with the results of my own choices, sometimes all we can do is reach out to God."

How to pray without ceasing

Adventist Record — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Prayer is one of those disciplines that is expected of a Christian. It is always the right answer for what we might need more of to get more spiritual.

When the Bible doesn't have the answers

Adventist Record — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +1100

Should women be ordained to ministry?

Adventist Record — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +1100

This week, we will discuss the concept of ordination generally. Then next week, we will delve deeper into the topic of women's ordination specifically.

Adventist Record — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +1100

It can be intimidating to read the Bible, either in personal devotion time or to lead a small group. In this episode, our team grapple with a random passage to both get something uplifting for ourselves but also to model how one can approach the Bible and find ways to access its richness to uplift, teach, challenge and grow the individuals who are reading.

The subtle trap of materialism

Adventist Record — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 06:00:00 +1100

Adventist Record — Fri, 27 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +1000

Often travel and experiencing other cultures can teach us about our own lives and beliefs.

Are Adventists really the remnant?

Adventist Record — Fri, 30 Aug 2024 06:00:00 +1000

It's one of those concepts that some people in the Church are super passionate about, something that is assumed knowledge, almost like a secret code. It makes other people uncomfortable.

We're joined by Signs of the Times associate editor Pastor Jesse Herford to unpack this interesting biblical doctrine and see what it can teach us today. August is Signs Month and Signs is committed to explaining difficult doctrines in an easy to access way. #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Podcast Fridays.

Connecting with God: Easy or hard?

Adventist Record — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 09:25:44 +1000

For many people, connecting with God feels easy. But for others, it’s much more complicated. How do I connect with someone who I can’t see or hear? Why don’t I feel His presence? How do I know if He’s leading or if it’s my own imagination? Today we have a conversation with Lucy Dessington about what it actually means to have a relationship with God and how it looks for us.

Heaven: Are we made for another world?

Adventist Record — Fri, 17 May 2024 06:00:00 +1000

CS Lewis said "If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world." But what is heaven really?

And how should we relate to the world around us if we're made for another world? #RecordLive Wednesdays 4pm, Podcast Friday.

The challenge of unanswered prayer

Adventist Record — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 06:30:00 +1100

Prayer is an incredibly important discipline in the Christian faith. But many misunderstandings around it exist and if you've prayed about anything for any length of time, you may find that you've had prayers go unanswered. But what do we do with those prayers?

The mystery of God's calling

Adventist Record — Fri, 08 Mar 2024 06:00:00 +1100

To be called to do something is a phrase that people often use to describe finding a life purpose.

We talk with Pastor Jesse Herford about the biblical background to some of our concepts around the call and also get some insight into his own experience. We also reflect on a recent article in Adventist Record about someone who feels like they missed their calling. Check it out here: https://record.adventistchurch.com/20...
