In this talk, author,  theologian and friend of King's Andrew Bunt speaks about current cultural attitudes towards sex and sexuality and he contrasts them with what the Bible teaches. Is the biblical view on human  sexuality even viable in a society that so fundamentally disagrees with it? How does God's word fit with our deepest longings?

PHILIPPIANS: Grace and Peace - Michael Coltman

Philippians 1.12-20.
Despite being detained in custody, Paul seems really upbeat; the gospel is bearing fruit not despite Paul's imprisonment, but because of it! This is spiritual advance through spiritual adversity. How can this be? And are there any instances of how this works practically in our day?

PHILIPPIANS: Work Out Your Faith - Michael Coltman

Philippians 2.19-30.
Having just taught about having the heart of a servant and looking to each others' interests, Paul commends two of his team, Timothy and Epaphroditus, as exemplars of what he has been saying. Happy to play second fiddle and work hard in the shadows, these two men are a challenge to us, whose commendation will come from the Lord if we live as faithfully as they did.

PHILIPPIANS: Stickability and Servant Heartedness - Phil Hillsdon

Philippians 3.1-11.
What do you think when you look back on your family tree, your upbringing and your achievements in life? And in what ways has becoming a Christian made a difference? As we move into chapter 3 of Philippians, we read about one man who had absolutely everything going for him, until his Christian conversion, which tipped his world upside down. And all that has massive implications for us too.
