Name: The Lordship of Jesus Christ - Part 8, HE WAS BORN A KING by Dr. Andrew Corbett
Duration: 40 min 6 s
Description: What they told him would have troubled him even more. The prophesied coming king was to be born in the same town that Israel’s greatest king, King David, had been born: Bethlehem. This almost certainly meant that this prophesied coming king was a direct descendant of king David.

Increasing numbers of people in our society are starting to become aware of the real dangers of pornography – not just for the users of it, but also for the women who are often enslaved within the industry. Yet why are so few speaking up about it? In culture that is often passionate about justice issues why does this not get the attention it should? 

In this episode of Pod of the Gaps, Aaron, Andy and Michael seek to address that gap by taking an honest look at this issue. How can Christians speak out without sounding prudish or anti-sex? And how can we best help those enslaved by it (the ‘users’ and the ‘used’)? As ever, we explore this pressing cultural issue with the usual mix of theology, wit, and wisdom.

Some of the resources mentioned on the show:

What they told him would have troubled him even more. The prophesied coming king was to be born in the same town that Israel’s greatest king, King David, had been born: Bethlehem. This almost certainly meant that this prophesied coming king was a direct descendant of king David.

Finding Truth Matters

The Lordship of Jesus Christ - Part 8, HE WAS BORN A KING

I pastor Legana Christian Church in Tasmania, Australia.  I also produce radio program called Finding Truth Matters where I take the ancient truth of God's Word, explain it, and show how it is relevant for today. I spend a fair bit time helping couples prepare for their marriages and have been doing so now for nearly 30 years. Lately, I've been producing some 1 minute audios for radio stations where I try to take a complex problem or idea and simplify it and offer a different perspective for people to consider. I blog. I write eBooks on some of these topics as well.
