Truth Decay
Christians claim that the Gospel is true. Underlying that claim is the concept of truth as absolute, objective, and universal. However, our society sees truth as a product of culture, psychology, and power. “Truth is what your peers let you get away with saying” says the philosopher Richard Rorty. In such a relativistic culture, where something can be true for me but not for you, how can the case for Christianity be made? What exactly did our Lord mean when He claimed to be “the Truth”?

The Names Of God
The Bible uses more than one name to describe who God is. Throughout the Old and New Testaments, many names and descriptive titles are used to tell us what He is like and what He does. These eight studies take four names from the Old Testament and four from the New, and look at who He has proved Himself to be throughout history, and how those attributes relate to our own relationship with Him.

Studies In Isaiah
The second half of Isaiah is often divided into three main sections: 40-48, 49-57, 58-66. These chapters contain some of the best loved portions of Scripture in the Canon, but it also contains some difficult material. In summary, God announces his great plan of salvation. We see the terrible challenges faced by God because of man’s idolatry. Then the mysterious figure of the Servant is introduced. We learn of His character and His great work. The New Testament helps us distinguish between the fact that the Saviour has come and that He will come. Finally, we catch a glimpse of the new Heaven and the new Earth.
