It's that gospel of good news which is the subject of this series of mini-sermons from Bible teacher Brian Johnston.
Not Fake News: Part 3 - Lost & Found
We’ve all heard the term ‘fake news’ - Donald Trump made sure we did. If something’s fake, we can be sure it’s false. There’s a true story about an elderly gentleman who was so animated in his preaching of the gospel - God’s Good News - that at one point his full set of false teeth flew out of his mouth and clattered onto the floor.

Part 5: The Origin of Morality
Discover magazine once announced: “The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing—zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.” Why do apparently intelligent people resort to believing in magic (miraculous events without any sufficient explanation or cause)? Former nuclear scientist Brian Johnston explores five ways atheists (materialists) believe in magic – in relation to the origin of (1) the universe, (2) stars, (3) life, (4) biodiversity, and (5) morality.

Finding Christ in the Old Testament - Part 13: The Sign of Jonah
“They said to one another, ‘Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?’” (Lk.24:27:32) Burning hearts! The inevitable result of having the Bible explained so it all begins to make sense and the person and work of Christ, its central character, comes into sharper focus. I used to think it would be wonderful to know what Old Testament incidents, symbols and themes the Lord unpacked for them. The way to do it seems obvious now!

A Greater Sense of God - Part 12: Responding to Revelation
On January 28, 1986, 7 Space Shuttle Challenger astronauts exited gravity and entered eternity. President Reagan gave quite a speech that day, paraphrasing the poetry of an Air Force volunteer: they “slipped the surly bonds of earth … and touched the face of God.” To touch the face of God suggests intimacy, as with someone we know well. In the Bible, we often find expressions such as “seeking God’s face” to describe prayer, and occasionally “the softening of his face” which suggests soothing, possibly by touching. One of the most amazing revelations about God in the Bible is that he wants you and me to become intimate with him - and the goal of this book, starting with God’s revelation to the prophet Ezekiel, is quite simply to help that become a reality.

In the Bible, we often find expressions such as “seeking God’s face” to describe prayer, and occasionally “the softening of his face” which suggests soothing, possibly by touching. One of the most amazing revelations about God in the Bible is that he wants you and me to become intimate with him - and the goal of this book, starting with God’s revelation to the prophet Ezekiel, is quite simply to help that become a reality.

Going the Distance - Part 12: Refocusing Disappointment
The Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s a contest with many rounds, not just one. Comparing Christians to athletes, and personalizing it, the Apostle Paul says, “I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:26-27). The picture of a boxer is especially apt, as experience teaches us that we don’t need to go very far in the Christian life before we start taking ‘blows’ or ‘hits.’ In another place, Paul talks about being “struck down” (2 Corinthians 4:9).
He goes on to make it clear that he was down, but not out. But, sadly, for many today the ‘knock-out’ rate is high. What are those ‘hooks’ that leave many sprawling on the canvas? They are the same ones that godly people have been experiencing since Bible times. This series bring together some of the notable ‘sucker punches’ that often get thrown at Christians – discouragement, guilt, failure, anxiety, distraction, lust, anger, pride, doubts, greed, divisions and disappointments. It aims to help us to draw on the resource of the Bible’s guidance to enable us to keep our guard up.

Can we control our own destiny, or is it all down to chance? Who, or what, is in charge of history?
To be credible, any worldview must answer four questions - about our origins, our morality, our (life’s) meaning, and our destiny. When the author’s daily Bible readings took him to Isaiah 37-47, he found the Biblical worldview does just that in an impressive declaration and demonstration of the sovereignty of God. That’s what led to the writing of this book, which along the way seeks to answer some important questions that have puzzled people for centuries:
- What does the Bible categorically say about human origins?
- Does God change his mind?
- Why did God order the killing of peoples in the Old Testament?
- Has Israel been left out of God’s purposes?
- Why bother praying?
- Was Jesus’ crucifixion simply a terrible accident?
- Does God decide who is saved and who isn’t?
- What are God’s purposes in the end times?
- Does man have free wills?
- Do the sign gifts operate today in God's purposes?

- Was Jesus’ crucifixion simply a terrible accident?
- Does God decide who is saved and who isn’t?
- What are God’s purposes in the end times?
- Does man have free wills?
- Do the sign gifts operate today in God's purposes?
Can we control our own destiny, or is it all down to chance? Who, or what, is in charge of history?
To be credible, any worldview must answer four questions - about our origins, our morality, our (life’s) meaning, and our destiny. When the author’s daily Bible readings took him to Isaiah 37-47, he found the Biblical worldview does just that in an impressive declaration and demonstration of the sovereignty of God. That’s what led to the writing of this book, which along the way seeks to answer some important questions that have puzzled people for centuries:
- What does the Bible categorically say about human origins?
- Does God change his mind?
- Why did God order the killing of peoples in the Old Testament?
- Has Israel been left out of God’s purposes?
- Why bother praying?
- Was Jesus’ crucifixion simply a terrible accident?
- Does God decide who is saved and who isn’t?
- What are God’s purposes in the end times?
- Does man have free wills?
- Do the sign gifts operate today in God's purposes?

On a few occasions in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul urges his readers not to lose heart. In particular, he appeals that they don’t lose heart in evangelism. This appeal can be found – twice in fact - in 2 Corinthians 4. If we’re in the western world today, it’s not hard to appreciate why he had this concern. Paul encountered in certain places the same stony indifference we can come up against, ranging even to outright hostility at times. We can all too readily identify the same features in society around us that the Apostle Paul diagnoses in the Greco-Roman world of the first century AD (Romans 1). Drawing from Paul’s writings, Bible teacher and broadcaster Brian Johnston provides a number of tools and also some encouragement in preaching the gospel in modern society.

The consideration of whether it could be true that everything is meaningless is not a consideration we expect to find arising from within a biblical worldview, where God is accepted as existing and giving meaning and purpose to human existence. But the curious thing – at least at first sight – is that one entire book in the Bible is devoted to exploring whether or not everything is meaningless. Why should this be the case? Bible teacher and broadcaster Brian Johnston gives the answer.

Brian Johnston takes a practical look at family life through the lens of Joseph's experiences in the various 'homes' that he found himself in, and also explores how the apostle Paul's close relationship with the Church of God in Thessalonika resembles a parental one.

An evangelical sermon has been described as 'thirty minutes to raise the dead.' This, of course, refers to the Bible's description of non-Christians as being 'dead in their sins' (Ephesians 6:1) - in other words, as spiritually dead as a result of having no relationship with God, the giver of all life – and the desire of the preacher for the hearer to find new life in, and through, Jesus Christ. This series, Sixty Minutes to Raise the Dead, comprises 6 talks, each of 10 minutes duration, which explain in turn each of the five major words in a Bible text (Ephesians 2:8-9) that sums up most clearly how it is that a ('dead') person finds new life in Jesus Christ, God's son and our saviour. And hence the title!

Issues of personal and collective identity seem everywhere today. Is gender fluid? Can a person self-define their gender? How should a person conflicted about their gender be counseled? When do a people have the right to self-determination? What makes a nation? In this absorbing series, Brian Johnston looks at identity from a biblical perspective - who does God say we are as humans, and what does he want our identity to be as Christians, both individually and collectively?

In this short series, Bible teacher Brian Johnston explores four times that the Holy Spirit uses the same Greek word about things that God wants all Christians to be fully convinced about - the inspiration of Scripture, the deity of Christ, the House of God and the Sanctuary worship of God.
