Sabbath School is perhaps the most communal and participatory element of a regular Seventh-day Adventist church event (after foot-washing), but social distancing has us all isolated at home. This is a weekly Sabbath School styled conversation on Biblical themes and passages. Join in the conversation by writing comments/questions to sabbathschoolfromhome@gmail.com .

"Worship that never ends" speaks to more than just time. Psalm 134 is extremely brief but packs in a number of interesting thoughts. There's a suggestion that worship is valid at all times and all places, and we are invited to explore what it means to bless someone.โดย Cameron and Lachlan Rogers

Many Psalms speak joyfully or longingly about specific places, so how do we read them in a culture not much concerned about location? The idea of pilgrimage has been central to much of religious history, and yet is largely absent from protestant Christianity. Are we missing anything of importance? How might the idea apply to our own experience?…

"Lessons from the past" are important, but not always easy to transmit. This Psalm is dominated by an overview of Israelite history, with a remarkable focus on where they failed to stay faithful to God. It seems the main point is that "God cared for them" even though "the people kept sinning". It is interesting to reflect on how well lessons from t…

Messianic elements in the Psalms can be tricky to handle. Some psalms obviously (to our eyes) foreshadow aspects of the earthly life and ministry of Jesus. Psalm 22 and 23 contain perhaps the most prominent examples, which we enjoyed in the first season of Sabbath School from Home. Psalm 2 makes mention of "submitting to God's royal son", but there…

The Sabbath School topic this week is "wisdom for righteous living", and Psalm 141 serves us a good dose! It is clear that controlling what we say is a core step towards wisdom, and this psalm also contains a vivid reminder of how important it is to be open to correction. These are both harder than they initially appear, and we explore the themes a…

Mercy seems to be one of God's most prominent characteristics. Psalm 57 is a beautiful celebration of God's mercy, but this concept keeps popping up all over the Bible. It is clearly an emphasis worth dwelling on.โดย Cameron and Lachlan Rogers
  continue reading
 
The theme of being kind to the poor is well-trodden on this podcast, but we turn to Psalm 41 for new insight. The Sabbath School lesson falls into a fascinating trap by using fairly heavy "us" and "them" language to describe the poor and needy. We don't claim to be in this category, but it is likely that some readers of the lesson will be. Psalm 41…
  continue reading
 
Thinking about "singing the Lord's song in a strange land" makes us wonder what feels normal and what feels strange. Exile in a foreign land is a substantial theme for many biblical authors, and the lesson this week applies the idea to our sin-bound world. This resonates with our calling to enter God's Kingdom, but it seems possible to get too carr…

Any discussion of how the Lord hears and delivers has to consider the times when he doesn't. This well-loved Psalm strongly endorses God's protection, and we find the passage to be uplifting and helpful. But it is certainly easy to find counter examples provided by people who weren't kept from all harm, and we discuss how this all holds together.…

The Lord "reigning" is a somewhat antiquated metaphor in our contemporary social and political context. What does it tell us about God, and is there any helpful alternative imagery? We dwell on Psalm 100 to ponder the greatness and goodness of God.โดย Cameron and Lachlan Rogers

Tara and Vicky had the pleasure of interviewing Jacqui Storm. Jacqui shines a light on the vital relationship we have with our minds and bodies. She has been on a life journey for personal health and believes that all human beings have an inner healing intelligence. She helps people to access this through self-help and preventative therapy. Jacqui …

The Psalms have plenty to teach us about how to pray. Perhaps the most striking thing about Psalm 44 is the rawness of complaint and accusation against God. Clearly a person of faith must be "allowed" to express their feelings - both in contentment and in anguish. We usually gravitate towards praise and worship, but it is OK to be honest. In fact, …

This season we return to the Psalms, and it is good to start by exploring how we can read them. Our initially general discussion of Inspiration leads to the reasonably profound idea of transferring a thought between two people. There are some interesting insights from mathematics, but some thoughts are not so easy to transfer to another person in h…

We attempt to wrap up this season on "God's mission", but it seems there's more to learn and understand. The lesson poses a question about what the end of God's mission might be, and it is a difficult thing to qualify with thresholds. The metaphors in 1 Peter chapter 2 seem to suggest that God's mission is always ongoing, as He attempts to build Hi…

Esther is a complicated story in any context, let alone the theme of God's mission. This complication arises from the implicit role of God in numerous surprising coincidences, and yet the complete absence of explicit mention of God. It is also difficult to find much helpful contemporary mission relevance for the bloodthirsty conclusion to the story…
  continue reading
 
What might it mean to participate in God's mission to the "reached"? As anticipated, we follow on from last week's topic of "the unreached" by considering what it could mean to be reached. This passage in Jeremiah 7 is one of many that make it quite clear that many who self-identify as "reached" by God still have glaring deficiencies in understandi…
  continue reading
 
The "unreached" might need mission, but it is not such an easy category! We look at the well-known story of Paul in Athens using a statue to an unknown god to launch a conversation about Jesus. The trouble is that the analogy worked because these people were perhaps "partly reached" more than "unreached". In fact, it might be a useful challenge to …

In this episode, Tara Gretton and Vicky Essebag have the pleasure of interviewing Gaia, a 21-year-old diversity activist based in Bristol, U.K., who works as an LGBTQ+ Team Coordinator for The Diversity Trust. Drawing on her own experience and expertise as a Trans Woman, she delivers LGBTQ+, and specifically Transgender Awareness training. She also…

It's fascinating to explore mission to the powerful. A number of biblical examples are illustrative, but perhaps the most iconic is the story of Daniel and his friends making a point to King Nebuchadnezzar about their overarching commitment to God.โดย Cameron and Lachlan Rogers
  continue reading
 
To explore the topic of "Mission to the needy" we turned to the story of friends lowering a paralytic man through the roof. This topic is particularly timely for our world, stretched by financial pressure and prominently torn by conflict. It is worth pondering the thought from James 1 that pure religion is looking after widows and orphans.…

The topic "Mission to my neighbour" sends us straight to the Good Samaritan. Although so well-known, this story has so much capacity to challenge us. It provides an excellent perspective on key aspects of "mission", and we ponder what it means for us today.โดย Cameron and Lachlan Rogers
  continue reading
 
How to catch the kind of motivation that makes you re-walk a day's journey without resting? Some of the motivations experienced by friends of Jesus in the New Testament don't correspond all that well to our experience as followers of Christ millennia later. Other stories map more closely, and Cleopas walking with a friend to Emmaus seems a great ex…

In this new episode, Tara and Vicky have the pleasure of interviewing Carolyn Albanese. Carolyn is an experienced educator, guidance counsellor and school administrator. She is a passionate mental health and wellbeing advocate, supporting women who have experienced mental health trauma and/or abuse and are looking to change their life path. She is …

We all have excuses to avoid God's mission, but the most obvious ones are nearly trivial. Looking at the story of Jonah exposes a much more challenging idea: what if we avoid mission simply because we don't actually agree with God that someone else needs and deserves His mercy?โดย Cameron and Lachlan Rogers

In this episode, Tara and Vicky interview a special guest - Meg Durham, from the School of Wellbeing Podcast. Meg's podcast has gained much popularity and notoriety in the past couple of years. Meg is a teacher with experience in primary and secondary education across Australia, and a specialist in the field of wellbeing education. She is an instru…

In this episode Tara shares an incredible story that teaches a lesson about what lies under the surface in relationships. What can come of a bad situation when we address it with a shift in perspective? What can everyone involved learn from the experience, and what happens when young people are given a chance to be their best selves? Thank you Tara…

How might we stop "mission" becoming a mirror? Talking about comfort zones in the context of God's mission reminds us just how powerful the pull of comfort can be. Do we get uncomfortable in our inclusive acceptance of people, or do we expect them to leave their comfort zone when joining our Christian community?…
  continue reading
 
What is the Great Commission again? It's a command to go, make disciples, baptise them, and teach them to obey. All of these aspects deserve to be unpacked a lot, but a somewhat obvious idea is that this task might not involve all that much preaching and Revelation seminars! What if we accidentally turn mission into making people more like us, rath…
  continue reading
 
An exploration of God's Mission must start with a focus on the God of mission. This new season will explore the theme of "God's Mission, My Mission", and we have to recognise that the word "mission" means a wide range of different things to different Christians. In fact, our initial reaction to this title probably depends on what kind of mission we…

After exploring the themes and some details of Ephesians, does it "feel different"? This episode is a bit of an experiment - does listening to the entire book of Ephesians work for you after 13 episodes exploring it bit-by-bit?โดย Cameron and Lachlan Rogers

You might have noticed that Tara and Vicky took a bit of a break since the last podcast! They were busy creating their new Relationspaces Power Bursts for you, where they respond to questions in short 5 minute bursts. Their conversations are based on quotes from the book - Relationspaces; A Solution-Focused Handbook for Parents. Check them out at h…

Ephesians closes with almost the same sentence as it began: a blessing of grace and peace. Peace seems at first to be the flip side of the aggressive military imagery of God's armour, but it might not be that simple. The peace and unity described throughout Ephesians is something that must be built up - it does not just appear by default.…
  continue reading
 
How helpful is military armour as an analogy for the Christian life? This passage is perhaps the most well-known part of Ephesians, and yet it actually feels somewhat strange juxtaposed against the deep theme of unity that we've seen throughout the book. We discuss the aggressive aspects of this analogy, and find lots of overlap with our discomfort…

The theme of unity and submission gets awkward when discussing slaves! It is hardly surprising that the New Testament mentions slavery (it was a cultural norm), but it is a shame that the various authors were not more clear in condemnation of the practice. We explore why some situations do seem to call us to obey and be sincerely respectful of auth…
  continue reading
 
We've reached the well-known passage about submission in marriage... ...except that after the emphasis on unity that has been observed consistently throughout Ephesians so far, it seems most likely that this part is not talking about submission and power balance at all. It is a radical call to inclusive and united love, and it's actually quite fasc…
  continue reading
 
Ephesians 5 is a call to "be careful how you live". The chapter opens with a stark juxtaposition between "worthless deeds of evil and darkness" and choices "that please the Lord". It is valuable to ponder the inclusion of greed at least as prominently as sexual immorality - an emphasis that has perhaps been lopsided in Christian history. There's al…
  continue reading
 
The second half of Ephesians 4 looks at some practical ways to pursue the unity that has formed a substantial theme of the book so far. There's an interesting comment on anger, but we end up spending most of our time exploring the admonition to "watch the way you talk". The bar of "saying only what helps" is a very lofty goal, and has direct releva…
  continue reading
 
This week, Tara and I talk about entering into conversations with our children as they prepare for school. How do we encourage the conversation? How do we motivate authentic self-expression? How do we discover what our children are thinking and feeling? How do we support them as they journey into a new school year? Enjoy! Music - Good Feelings by: …
  continue reading
 
The theme of unity is again in the foreground. This chapter starts with an exploration of the reason for and mechanism of unity: love. This emphasis is expressed explicitly through some wonderful verses, and also poetically through a pattern of 7 that culminates with God our father of all, "who is over all, in all, and living through all." We are i…
  continue reading
 
Ephesians 3 continues Paul's effervescent enthusiasm for a gospel of inclusion. Even while taking some diversions to obliquely reference his own calling and situation, Paul sticks with the tone and theme that he has developed in the previous chapters. A few key metaphors and images jump out at us, including "mystery", "prisoner", and inclusive unit…
  continue reading
 
The New Testament claims Jesus broke down walls of hostility that divide us as people - what walls might still exist today? We continue our steady meander through Ephesians, which this week is up to the second part of chapter 2. There are a range of meaningful metaphors here describing the inclusion of Gentiles into God's plan, culminating in sanct…

A change of perception can be life altering. How willing are we to invest in a change of perception that isn’t immediate? In this next podcast episode, Tara and Vicky embrace the summer as they share stories that point to slowing down the hectic pace of life. How do we manage to do so? What are some unique ways in which to observe these helpful dif…
  continue reading
 
Ephesians 2 opens with a succinct but thorough outline of the gracious gift of salvation. This is such a clear description of the idea that God saves us by his grace and because of his love (not as a reward for our actions or attitudes) that it is hard to work out how some Christians have seen things differently. We are particularly intrigued and p…
  continue reading
 
Paul turns to prayer as he continues to introduce this epistle. There are two prayer sections in Ephesians (1:15-23 and 3:14-21), and we notice they have a lot in common. Even though they're positive and uplifting, we are vaguely uncomfortable because of hearing numerous didactic and disciplinary prayers in the past. Thinking about various "culture…
  continue reading
 
Ephesians opens with an encouraging summary of Christian hope. Paul seems keen to introduce themes of unity, redemption, Spirit, and inheritance. Each of these are likely to be developed further in the epistle, but even in the first 14 verses there is a range of rich ideas worth pondering. In particular, the unity described as God's plan is astound…

Schools are academic spaces, yet they are also social spaces, where individuals have an opportunity to engage with each other and to establish long term relationships that have an impact their own lives and on school climate. Schools are fairly unique as social systems in that they involve a wide range of roles and responsibilities as well as ages.…

Acts 19 tells a 3rd-party perspective to prepare us for studying Paul's letter to the Ephesians. There are a number of anecdotes recorded about Paul in the city of Ephesus, and most of them seem to highlight the prominence of his activity. It seems he regularly "went viral" in the society of the day, and stayed there for some years having significa…
  continue reading
 
We turn to the end of Revelation to wrap up this season. Exploring (nominally) the "3 angels messages" of Revelation 14 has been hard work at times this season, and we approach this final episode with a slight sense of exhaustion. We certainly haven't resolved all the questions that arise from these chapters! However, there is a hope and peace that…

In this episode Tara and Vicky talk about how noticing what works in relationships positively changes the way in which we think about and act on relationships. Noticing what works also empowers and inspires us to access our personal resources and to help motivate others to do so as well. Music - Good Feelings by: BoDleasons Music - Good Feelings by…
