Dr. Alastair Roberts (PhD, Durham University) joins Mike Neglia to discuss the value of incorporating diverse forms of Christian teaching beyond traditional sermons. Alastair, a Teaching Fellow at The Theopolis Institute and a lecturer for Davenant Hall, emphasizes the importance of shorter sermons to allow time for other instructional methods like catechesis, Eucharistic addresses, and exegetical teaching. He argues that sermons should focus on addressing the conscience and upholding the authority of God's Word rather than attempting to encompass all aspects of Christian teaching. Mike shares his own struggles with lengthy sermons and seeks practical advice on making them more concise. Together, they discuss the benefits of concentrating on a single key application and integrating varied teaching methods within the service. The conversation also explores the significance of feedback and the pastor's role in guiding the congregation's spiritual growth.

God created humans to bear his image, but sometimes we choose our own destruction and start to look a lot more like chaos monsters instead. In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss a human who the prophets frequently called a sea dragon: the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt and enslaved Israel in the scroll of Exodus. If Pharaoh is the seed of the serpent, who is the seed of the woman in Exodus?

Andrew Wilson s Teaching Pastor at King's Church London, and has degrees in history and theology from Cambridge (MA), London School of Theology (MTh), and King's College London (PhD). He is an award-winning columnist for Christianity Today and his writing appears regularly in a variety of christian columns. I stumbled across Andrews most recent book,Spirit and Sacrament: An Invitation to Eucharismatic Worship. I appreciated his approach to valuing both the liturgical practices as well as the movement of the spirit in worship contexts.He has also authored several other books, including, Echoes of Exodus: Tracing Themes of Redemption through Scripture.It was a pleasure having Andrew on the show as we talk through why the modern church has widely walked away from the sacraments and liturgical practices as well as why the high church has rejected a charismatic movement of the Spirit and why all of this matters. You can also check out more of Andrews work here. Or be sure to follow along with him on Twitter.
In this special episode, Forefront managing editor Sean O'Hare interviews author Alastair Roberts about his book Echoes of Exodus: Tracing Themes of Redemption through Scripture.
How do we see the Gospel in the Golden Calf? In this episode, David and Seth are joined by author Andrew Wilson to examine the makers of the idol, how God responds, and how Jesus fulfills it all. Check out Alastair J. Roberts and Andrew Wilson's book "Echoes of Exodus: Tracing Themes of Redemption through Scripture": http://a.co/d/idw5Sv7 Visit Andrew's blog: https://thinktheology.co.uk Follow Andrew on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJWTheology For more information about Spoken Gospel visit: http://www.spokengospel.com Welcome to Spoken Gospel. This is our journey to speak the gospel out of every corner of scripture. Each week author and poet David Bowden sits down with preacher and blogger Seth Stewart to address one pericope of scripture and show how it points to Jesus. We believe that the whole Bible is about Jesus. In fact, everything is about Jesus. “From him, through him, and to him are all things” (Rom. 11:36). “For by him all things were created…all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together” (Col. 1:16-17). Since everything in the world is about Jesus, certainly the Bible, which is his word, is about him too. “And Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?’ And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself” (Lk. 24:25-27) “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me” (Jn. 5:39) In fact, we are convinced that reading the Bible without seeing how it points us to Jesus is to read the Bible with a veil over it. “For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed” (2 Cor. 3:14-16). This text goes on to say that it is the Gospel that is veiled. But when the veil is taken away by the Spirit, and we see the Gospel throughout the Bible, we don’t just get new information or discover clever connections. We actually see, “the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Cor. 4:4). Seeing Jesus and his Gospel throughout the whole Bible is not about trying to see something that isn’t really there, but trusting the Spirit of God to show us what is really there. And what is really there is the image and glory of God in Jesus. This isn’t about seeing beyond the text or through the text. It isn’t about overlooking the historical events or the author’s intent, to see something mystical and secret. It is about seeing how God operated in historical events, through authorial intent, in the texts of scripture to show us more of his glory in Jesus. That is our goal in this podcast. We will work through books of the Bible in segments. Usually these segments will be broken up by the text itself, pausing for reflection where the literature seems to tell us to stop and take account. Our hope is to make it through the whole Bible, speaking the Gospel out of every corner of Scripture. Welcome to our public experiment to test this thesis. Welcome to Spoken Gospel.
The instructions for the building of the tabernacle is finished, so where do the people go from here? Bezalel and Oholiab are two people who are given the Spirit of God to accomplish the building of the tabernacle and its finest details. How do we see Jesus in these two men? In this episode, David and Seth discuss how the Spirit of God helps us obey the God's commandments.

Recently, our friend Alastair Roberts spent an evening with a Friends of L’Abri group here in Birmingham, AL. He gave a talk on the subject of Exodus and introduced some of the issues tackled within his new book with Andrew Wilson (Echoes of Exodus, linked below). The talk is a great example of how to read Scripture figurally and he also shares some of the benefits of such an approach.
