Daniel continues his dive into the cultural context of Genesis, trying to understand the way that words and culture affect the transmission of meaning, with help from Tim Mackie and John Walton in an interview they did a few years ago. Listen to the Bible Project with Walton Here: https://bibleproject.com/podcast/genesis-1-2-origins-or-identity/ Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-belfast-podcast/id1472441982 Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1s3aaP3pUkQKBVXbsP8Y34?si=ca588a6165424c61 Instagram: @thebelfastpodcast Email: belfastpodcast@gmail.com The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christian imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. Our goal is to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to reread your bible for the first time. We hope that through the words of those who have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.
With some help from mythologist Martin Shaw, Daniel explores how mythology can tell the truth. It is easy to think that the truth is just what can be realized by our five senses, but what if this is just a symptom of our modern hallucination rather than a perception of reality?

Sermon synopsis: True love for God is a choice and the foundation of our relationship with God. From the Garden of Eden, we see that love for God was meant to be freely chosen, not coerced, and this love was tested by temptation. The fall of mankind began when the love for God was overshadowed by self-interest and deception, leading to sin and separation from paradise. Through Jesus Christ, believers are restored to the love of God, and God's kingdom is being established on the earth.

Join us for another episode of Extra Takes where Matt Shiles leads Pastor Josh in a further discussion of his Genesis sermon on work, and how it's a secondary purpose and a natural blessing, not necessary burden. Further, they'll discuss how even if you're not working in the church, you can be working for God's Glory.
Work is more than just a job. it is a calling from God and an opportunity to reflect on His purpose. When done with the right heart, it becomes an act of worship, bringing glory to God and serving others. Rather than chasing success by worldly standards, believers are encouraged to work with integrity and purpose, knowing that every task has eternal significance.

Genesis 1:26-28 Sermon Synopsis March 8-9: Humanity was created as the crescendo of creation, tasked with establishing and extending God's kingdom on Earth. Humans are uniquely made in God's image to reflect, mirror, and represent His rule, glory, and nature through relationships, culture, and stewardship. Though the fall disrupted this purpose, God's redemption plan, centered around Jesus as King, Priest, and Prophet, restores humanity's calling to reflect God's image. As the church follows Jesus, they fulfill the original intention of glorifying God and advancing His kingdom to the ends of the Earth, becoming fully alive in Jesus.

In this episode of Extra Takes, Matt Shiles leads Pastor Josh—sporting his snazzy pickleball shirt—through a discussion on Genesis 2:4-17, where God creates a house and makes it a home. They explore key questions: How does God make Earth a home? What makes creation God's temple? And why does it matter? Pastor Josh also reflects on the importance of shaping culture rather than letting culture shape us, emphasizing that God's intention has always been to bring Heaven to Earth.
A new MP3 sermon from Trinity Bible Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: God Remembered Subtitle: Genesis Series Speaker: Dr. Greg Mazak Broadcaster: Trinity Bible Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 3/2/2025 Bible: Genesis 8 Length: 50 min.
The Bible presents creation as God's building not just a house but a home where He dwells with humanity. From Genesis to Revelation, the earth is depicted as a temple—God's sacred space—where He desires to live among His people, yet sin led to exile and separation. Through Jesus, the true temple, God restores His home, granting humanity renewed access to His presence and inviting all to dwell with Him. Ultimately, the new creation will be God's final, eternal home with His people, fulfilling humanity's deepest longing for belonging and connection.

Join Pastor Josh and his sidekick, "Lefty", as they spend time examining the finer points of this weeks' sermon. "The first week of creation provides us a good first impression of The Creator, and a good first response of what we should do as the created". After a discussion of the creative process Pastor Josh used for his creation video, the discussion moves to the characteristics and nature of Elohim. Finally the discussion wraps up with an explanation of the differences between Elohim and Yahweh.
Sermon Synopsis for February 22-23, 2025 The first chapter of Genesis reveals truths about Elohim, showing His eternal nature, power, wisdom, and sovereignty over all things. Through creation, we see His intentionality, order, creativity, and goodness, demonstrating that He is a God of purpose and design. Our response to Him should be one of W.O.R.S.H.I.P., where we work with Him, obey Him, rely on Him, serve Him, honor Him, image Him, and proclaim His name. Ultimately, understanding who Elohim is shapes how we live, calling us to reflect His character and give Him glory.

Join Pastor Josh and his temporary co-host, Pastor Gus as they dive deeper into this first message of the Genesis series. Pastor Josh starts by discussing how important this part of the Bible is, then he and Pastor Gus dive into the challenges of Modernity and Post-Modernity, and the role of Moses and The Big Story. Finally, they get more personal with how you choose which big story that you're a part of, then a breezy discussion of Theistic Evolution and Creationism.
Israel needed a Big Story to make sense of their history, identity, and purpose. Israel isn't the only people that has needed a metanarrative. Every single human being who has ever lived needs to know what BIG STORY they are “IN” because they have BIG QUESTIONS about life they need answered, which are answered by the Bible's overarching, grand/meta-narrative.

Join us as we continue our journey through the book of Genesis, exploring God's partnership with a specific family to bring His redemption plan to humanity. This week, we shift our focus from Joseph to Judah—one of Jacob's twelve sons—and discover how his story is a reflection of our own. Judah's journey is filled with mistakes, deception, and broken relationships, yet through ownership and repentance, his legacy becomes part of God's redemptive plan. No matter how big our mistakes, God does not require perfection—only a willingness to recognize, own, and turn from our sin. If you're struggling with past mistakes or at a crossroads in life, this message is for you. There is no condemnation for those in Christ—only freedom and restoration when we surrender to Him.00:00 - Welcome & Introduction to Genesis Series 00:25 - The Partnership Between God & Abraham 00:54 - Abraham's Mistake & The Promise of Isaac 01:57 - Isaac & Rebecca's Sons: Esau & Jacob 02:27 - Jacob's Deception & His Journey to Laban 02:57 - The Story of Leah, Rachel, & Jacob's Family 04:50 - Judah's Story Begins – A Reflection of Our Own 07:08 - The Reality of Mistakes & Their Consequences 09:12 - Joseph, Judah, & The Power of Recognition 10:47 - Selling Joseph into Slavery – The Depth of Betrayal 12:37 - Judah's Personal Downfall & The Road to Timna 15:38 - Tamar's Bold Move & Judah's Moment of Truth 18:32 - The Turning Point – Recognizing & Owning Sin 25:16 - Judah's Transformation & The Lineage of Jesus 29:54 - God's Grace: No Condemnation in Christ 32:08 - A Call to Repentance & Restoration 33:36 - Closing Prayer & Invitation to Receive Prayer 36:00 - Final Blessing – Walk in Freedom & Right Relationship
