On Easter Day we enter into the Christian calendar, a season of Resurrection. As the body of Christ, in order to follow Christ, we follow as closely as possible the life of Jesus Christ (his life teachings and mission (redemptive purposes).[1] So we will study the topic of “Resurrection and Our Concerns” k'g?yfg / xfd|f] ;/f]sf/ For the next 7 weeks, until Pentecost, we will focus on the various aspects of the Resurrection, and it's meaning for our lives in the 21st century. Resurrection is often thought of in terms of a historical event in the life of Jesus Christ, and people debate over the validity, possibility, and its historical meaning, etc. But, as NT Wright says that Resurrection is not simply about proving a historical event or its logic, rather in his words, “The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you are now invited to belong to it.” NT Wright. Resurrection is a worldview matter, thus needs to be set in our lives Operating System. Its' something in your mind and heart's eyes, a telescope to see the world with a particular scope, an angle, a perspective (with its colors), like James Webb Telescope cameras that's observing the universe out there far outside our eye's sight. NT Wright says, “Resurrection is a view from future into our present”. It's a reliable account of what God has been cooking up since the creation, mystery now unveiled to us through Christ and his church. Wow, a whole new worldview, a perspective to consider (see Romans 8). Now we can read the whole Bible anew, from Christ's Resurrection and the New Creation perspective.   We will do that in this series, possibly under these following topics, I call “Resurrection Curriculum”: a.     Resurrection planted a seed of eternity in our hearts. Jesus said “I am the resurrection and life…” b.     Resurrection of Jesus has given us a new worldview, a scope for all of life and world-view. c.      Resurrection of Jesus is a deposit, guarantee of things promised, now with a guarantee. d.     Resurrection is a signpost, showing us a direction towards God's future New Creation. e.     “Hope is what you get when you realize that a different worldview is possible, the same worldview that is demanded by the resurrection of Jesus is the shift that will enable us to transform the world.” (75) f.       “We believe in the resurrection of the body…” as we declare in the Apostles Creed.

In Week 4 of our From Here On... series, we step into the powerful moment of Pentecost in Acts 2:1–13. This pivotal event marks not only the birth of the Church but the unleashing of God's mission to the nations—fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. As we see in scripture and from voices like NT Wright, Sam Storms, and John Piper, the purpose of mission is worship: to see all peoples rejoice in the greatness of God. Pastor Matt reminds us that from here on, we are called to Spirit-empowered witness that invites the world into the transforming joy of God's glory.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

What does the Bible really say about power, politics, and peace in our divided world?In this compelling episode of Into the Truth, Pierpaolo Finaldi sits down with one of the most influential New Testament scholars of our time - Professor N.T. Wright - for a wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation on faith, culture, and scripture. Filmed at the Bishop Barron Conference on the Bible in East London, this dialogue moves beyond stereotypes and easy answers to explore how Christians - Catholics and Protestants alike - might faithfully respond to the "powers and principalities" at work in the modern world.The conversation explores:* The spiritual forces behind our political and cultural crises* What St Paul teaches us about empires, identity, and resistance* Whether "wokeism" is a Christian heresy or a call for justice gone awry* Christian nationalism, post-liberalism, and the danger of distorting the Gospel* Why the Church must be a "working model of new creation"* How listening - truly listening - can open hearts to the GospelDrawing from his latest book "Jesus and the Powers", Wright urges a rediscovery of biblical values - not as nostalgia, but as radical, transformative hope. With insight into scripture, early Church history, and contemporary society, this episode offers a deep yet accessible entry point for Christians seeking to engage the world without losing their soul.

In Week 2 of our From Here On... series, Pastor Matt walks us through Acts 1:1-11, reminding us that the story of the early church is, above all, a story about Jesus. Though He ascended, He is not absent—He is still the central actor in the unfolding story. As His followers, we are now His witnesses, not in our own strength, but through dependence on the Holy Spirit. With boldness and trust, we live as people empowered by His presence, called to bear witness to the risen and reigning Christ—from here on.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

The Exodus Way E12 (Bonus Interview) — If we come to the New Testament without much knowledge of the Hebrew Bible, we may think that baptism is just something that John the Baptist made up and Jesus carried on for new disciples. But there are multiple levels of meaning in this practice, including ritual purification, Israel's passage through the Red Sea, entry into the promised land, and, most importantly for Jesus, a symbol of his death on our behalf. In this episode, Jon and Tim have a wide-ranging conversation with prolific author and theologian N.T. Wright about the meaning of baptism and its connections to the Exodus story.View all of our resources for The Exodus Way →CHAPTERSWelcoming N.T.

Throughout Lent, we've been releasing weekly episodes focused on spiritual practices.In the final episode of the series, this Holy Week we're considering the discipline of waiting: how we can prepare ourselves to receive good news. Our guide today is N.T. Wright, the Anglican Bishop and New Testament scholar. He describes how Jesus invited his hearers into a new way of understanding Israel's ancient story of waiting, the cosmic significance of its sudden fulfillment, and its meaning for us in this in-between time of preparation to receive good news: "The ultimate life after death is not a platonic disembodied immortality, but resurrection life in God‘s new creation. And that new world began when Jesus came out of the tomb on Easter morning. That's the good news. Something happened then as a result of which the world is a different place. And we are summoned, not just to enjoy its benefits, but to take up our own vocations as new creation people, as spirit-filled and spirit-led Jesus followers, bringing his kingdom into reality in our world."We hope that this conversation will help you as you wait and prepare to receive this good news.The podcast is drawn from an evening conversation we hosted back in 2016.

What does your schedule reveal about your true priorities? Not what you say matters, but what actually gets your time and attention? The American Soul Podcast cuts through our comfortable excuses with this challenging question: Have you made time for God today?Drawing from the wisdom of personal experience, this episode explores how our daily choices reveal our genuine commitments. Just as someone who repeatedly cancels fitness training doesn't truly prioritize health, we often profess spiritual priorities our schedules don't reflect. This honest self-examination forces us to confront the disconnect between our claimed values and actual behaviors.The most powerful moment comes when examining a profound quote about rejected love: "Nothing hurts so much as to go to someone and offer love and have that offer spurned." This reflection creates a dual perspective – both understanding Christ's experience of continued rejection by humanity, and examining our own tendency to reject love offered by family, spouses, friends, and ultimately God Himself. The warning is clear: "To reject God's love is, in the end, to be in peril of his wrath."Through an exploration of Second Thessalonians, listeners find encouragement that their perseverance through hardship serves as inspiration for others facing trials. Your suffering has purpose – it strengthens the faith community around you. The promise that "God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted" places present difficulties in their eternal context.The episode concludes with a powerful reflection on identity, challenging the hyphenation of both national and religious affiliations. Daniel Webster's words resonate: "I am an American...and I am wedded to the fortunes of my country for will or for woe." Similarly, our primary identity must be in Christ, not denominational labels.Ready to recalibrate your priorities? Listen now and discover how making time for what truly matters can transform not just your schedule, but your entire approach to faith and life.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

The ARC conference in London saw thousands of conservative influencers and politicians networking with like-minded Christians. Is it further evidence that the 'surprising rebirth' is right wing? In part 2 of the show, Justin Brierley continues to explore the question of whether the new interest in Christianity is being co-opted for political purposes. Journalist Heather Tomlinson, writer Paul Kingsnorth and podcast host Elizabeth Oldfield all offer their perspective on whether the rebirth is right wing. Justin also profiles left-wing influencers embracing Christianity and hears from Rasool Berry, Krish Kandiah, Chris Watkin and NT Wright on how Christians should engage politics. Former far-right activist Theo Wilmot also shares his own story of 'Surprising Rebirth'.

ROMANS 1:1-6 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. FROM THE LESSON Book about Fatih - Salvation By Allegiance Alone by Matthew Bates Gospel - it literally means "good news." It translates the Greek word - euangelion - where the prefix eu- means "good" and then angelion means "message." It relates to the Greek word - angelos - meaning "messenger" from which the English word angel is derived. Characteristics of the Gospel - 1 The priority of the gospel (verse 1) 2 The promise of the gospel (verse 2) 3 The person of the gospel (verses 3-4) 4 The purpose of the gospel (verse 5) The Full Gospel - "the gospel tells the whole story of Jesus; it's not just a Good Friday story. No matter how central the cross is to the Story, we need to keep in mind that the story is much more than the story of the cross. Jesus didn't just die." Scot McKnight Faith-Fueled Obedience - The NIV translates it as the "obedience that comes from faith." The ESV translates it as the "obedience of faith." NT Wright translates it as "believing obedience." DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Ice Breaker: What if you had to share the gospel with another person only using one sentence? How would you summarize the gospel in one sentence? 1 When was the last time you had some really good news that you couldn't wait to share with someone else? What was the news? God gives us the honor and joy of being the ones to share His good news with the world. Is there someone in your circle of influence with whom you could share the good news?  2 Have you ever purposefully read the Old Testament through the lens of the gospel? When you do this, you see the promise of the gospel almost on every page. Is there an example of this that comes to your mind? 3 The good news of Jesus is about "the whole career of Christ." We know that the story of the cross is good news, but how is the rest of the story also good news? 4 In verse 5, Paul says the purpose of the gospel is to bring about "believing obedience." Discuss the important connection between faith and obedience.

We'll begin this series with an introduction to the Lord's Prayer and the disciple's request, “Lord, teach us to pray.” How do we integrate prayer (including the Lord's prayer) into our daily lives (consider ora et labora) to shape us and through us, the world. Provide tools for praying the Lord's pray throughout Lent (see NT Wright). Luke 11:1; Matthew 6:9-13 (NIV/NLT)

Scripture can become a weapon in the hands of the ultra-certain. As if every pain or suffering is part of “God’s divine plan.” So how should we understand and apply the Bible to our real lives with our real-life problems? NT Wright, a New Testament scholar, is a trusted expert to help us understand what truths resound across time and circumstance and which don’t. In this conversation, Kate and Tom dig in especially on Romans 8:28 which is the Pauline version of EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. Is that what Paul intended to say? Is there maybe another, more life-giving way to interpret it instead? Kate and NT Wright also discuss: The importance of lament as a response to the human condition Why we have such a low tolerance for uncertainty Which scripture to turn to when life comes apart (and which to avoid) What our response should be to others who are in pain or experiencing tragedy This is a bit of a Bible-nerd out, but I would trust no one else to help us better make sense of where is God when we’re suffering than NT Wright.

Host Doug Stuart is joined by Alex Bernardo, host of The Protestant Libertarian Podcast, to delve into the intricacies of historical Jesus research and its impact on Christian theology and libertarian beliefs. Together, they explore how understanding the historical context of the gospels of can help reconcile perceived contradictions, as well as the role of biblical scholarship in shaping modern faith.Alex explains his passion for historical Jesus research, emphasizing the importance of anchoring beliefs about Jesus to historical facts rather than projecting contemporary values onto him. This conversation uncovers the tension between maintaining traditional theological beliefs and engaging with historical scholarship, revealing how pastors and congregations alike can benefit from a deeper historical understanding of Jesus' life and message.They also examine how Jesus' kingship aligns with libertarian ideals, highlighting how libertarian Christianity bridges theological insights with political philosophy. Listeners will gain new perspectives on the phases of historical Jesus research, the importance of reading the gospels intelligently, and the interplay between systematic and biblical theology. With echoes of NT Wright's critiques and references to notable scholars like Albert Schweitzer and Helen Bond, this episode promises to enrich your understanding of both historical and contemporary Christian thought.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

In the long-awaited third installment of my Ludwig von Mises vs. a Christian Scholar series, I take on the big dog himself, N.T. Wright. Wright is the world's most famous New Testament scholar and theologian and is known for his pioneering work on the ‘New Perspective' on Paul, Paul and empire, and the historical Jesus. I explain how his own theology of empire and the church helped lead me to libertarianism, but how Wright himself often fails to see the modern consequences of his own theological positions. I look at a passage from his book History and Eschatology where he writes a veiled critique of capitalism, and counter it with a passage from Mises's Human Action that explains how free market capitalism actually works. This demonstrates that on a definitional level Wright doesn't understand free markets and attributes to ‘capitalism' economic problems that are directly caused by government intervention in the market. I then play clips from an interview Wright had with entrepreneur Phil Chen, showing that Wright fails to understand monetary theory, central banking, economic regulation, and markets. I counter his points with selected readings from the works of Mises, demonstrating how an understanding of the Austrian school of economics would better help Wright better apply his theology to modern social and economic problems.  Media Referenced:Round 1: Mises vs. Gorman: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ludwig-von-mises-vs-christian-scholar-round-1-michael-gorman/Round 2: Mises vs. Smith: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ludwig-von-mises-vs-christian-scholar-round-2-james-k-a-smith/‘Inflation' defined: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-66-the-high-cost-of-inflation-and-the-war-in-ukraine/Bitcoin explained: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/bitcoin-and-the-future-of-currency-with-adam-obrien/Money, the Fed, and Christianity: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-99-money-the-federal-reserve-and-christian-ethics-with-jordan-bush/Human Action: https://mises.org/podcasts/human-action-treatise-economicsHistory and Eschatology: https://a.co/d/8tHavlmMoney and Inflation: https://mises.org/library/book/ludwig-von-mises-money-and-inflationPhil Chen Interview Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFR7J2-N6JM&list=PPSVPhil Chen Interview Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2W0Jo5QAaU&list=PLQhBTXNmfWOyX5l7di2JV8ghJh4SdwcUF&index=8 The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

Gary discusses two new books now available from American Vision, Gary's North's Victim's Rights and Gary DeMar's newest book Prophecy Wars. These two have more in common than might be apparent to many, but both are essentially apologetic works about controversial topics about the Bible.

Prof. N. T. “Tom” Wright returns to our podcast to discuss Eph. 3:10 and its vision for the church in the present age: God's “intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known.” God created us so that through us he could show the world who he is, in particular, by a community of all races and nations drawn together in love. Rev. Dr. N. T. Wright is Research Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Early Christianity at St Mary's College in the University of St Andrews and Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. His work has established him as the foremost voice among New Testament scholars of the present generation, not least due to his many commentaries, topical studies, and the multi-volume, Christian Origins and the Question of God.

Top of 2024 // One of Our Most Engaged Episodes of 2024When we consider politics and government, how can we best guide ourselves and our churches to live out a Christ-centered political witness? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Dr. N.T. Wright. Tom is the former Bishop of Durham, Professor Emeritus at the University of St. Andrews, and a senior research fellow at Oxford. He's written a number of books, including his latest, entitled Jesus and The Powers. Together, Tom and Jason explore the kingdom of God as it relates to the kingdoms of this world. Tom then provides some insights into how the church can show up when it comes to politics, embracing a kingdom-oriented political posture as we resist the empire.Dig deeper into this conversation: Find the free Weekly Toolkit, including the Ministry Leaders Growth Guide, all resource links, and more at http://PastorServe.org/networkSome key takeaways from this conversation:N.T.

Wright on the moral obligation to confront difficult situations or issues, even if they are uncomfortable or complicated: "The powers are dark messy powers, and it's a messy business engaging with them, but not to engage is to lose all sense of Christian responsibility."N.T. Wright on the significance of Christians engaging with critical thinking skills to address various issues in the world: "We need Christians who have learned how to think wisely about the issues and can then be salt and light in the world."----------------Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

In this episode, Dr. Tom Wright joins us to discuss his latest book, Jesus and the Powers, co-authored with Michael Bird. Tom explores how Jesus' teachings challenge worldly power structures and reframe our understanding of politics and authority. He unpacks the New Testament's depiction of “the powers” and what it means for Christians navigating the complex intersections of faith and government today. From the role of the church in society to contemporary issues, this conversation offers profound insights for living faithfully in a world marked by power and division. Join us for a timely discussion on the revolutionary implications of Jesus' kingdom.Thanks for listening!Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube.To learn more about our summer programs visit:https://www.regent-college.edu/summerSubscribe to our newsletter to hear all about Regent College:https://www.regent-college.edu/about-us/subscribe

After an exhausting year of politics and the re-election of Donald Trump, what is a faithful way for Christians to navigate the next four years? Should we continue to immerse ourselves in political news, or is it better to disconnect from the media? And should Christians join the political fights online, or unplug to better serve our local communities? The Holy Post crew responds to articles by a number of Christians leaders addressing these questions. Then, New Testament scholar, N.T. Wright, is back to discuss the book of Acts. Wright says an understanding of ancient temples is the key to the message of Acts. Also this week—the origin of F-words.   Holy Post Plus Bonus Interview with N. T.

The book of Acts seems to sit benignly in the Bible, following the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It's presented almost as a travelogue of what happens to the apostles and the growing community devoted to a man named Jesus who was crucified. But Acts, if read properly, is quite subversive, and a potential source of great fear for the kings and rulers of the world because it directly challenges their authority, says Dr. N.T. Wright. Acts, written by the Apostle Luke, announces that the Kingdom of God has been launched, and that Jesus is its head. Why is this a problem for us today? Because the Western world's 'Separation of Church and State' is a wobbly philosophy if in fact Jesus is King, and really can't be lived out to its most extreme manifestations, that they are on a collision course we can in fact see today in politics and the culture. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Dr. Wright, author, theologian, scholar, and Anglican priest, explains his new book, "The Challenge of Acts: Rediscovering What the Church Was and Is". Wright says, "Acts is a dangerous book; and if people take it seriously, it's still dangerous today because the powerbrokers don't like the idea that actually there is this thing called the Kingdom of God." Luke also wrote one of the two Gospels that includes the narratives of Jesus's birth. Luke describes it as the Royal Birth, of a King that will be at odds with all  the Kings of the earth.
