Warwick Baptist Church's Podcast

Alan shares, that despite the popular stereotype that Christianity is anti-intellectual and anti-scientific, modern education, academia and science are actually rooted in large measure in the teaching of Jesus.

Social institutions, such as hospitals and universities, had their genesis in the Christian Church and were motivated by Jesus' radical example of caring for those in need and teaching everyone, not just wealthy males. Darren shares from Luke 4:16-21

Surprisingly, Jesus spoke more about money than nearly any other topic. Jesus challenged the prevailing wisdom of His day, and taught that all wealth was God's, to be used for Him instead of for personal advancement. Luke 18:18-25 and Luke 19:1-10

Despite being the most influential figure in human history, Jesus did not follow conventional patterns of leadership. Darren shares how Jesus Call for His followers to serve one another with humility is one of the most powerful and enduring ideas from His life and teaching.

Though Jesus interacted with everyone, more than anyone else, Jesus ministered among the poor and marginalised and He taught His followers to do likewise. Sam shares how our willingness to obey Jesus has profoundly shaped the world. Luke 8:40-48

For His time, Jesus was radically inclusive of both men and women. On Father's Day, Darren explores the radical changes in the treatment and inclusion of women in society because of the teaching of Jesus and challenges us to continue to do better.

Jesus is not often associated with having anything to say about democracy. Jason shares how Jesus did teach about freedom, and many of His teachings had political implications that have been developed by Christians over the last 2000 years.

Jesus taught extensively about forgiveness. His command to "love your enemy" is one of His best known teachings. Chris shares why we too should consider forgiveness a priority - in the big and in the small things.

Jesus taught that individuals have inherent value - we are loved by God. The teaching of Jesus and Paul shifted people from being viewed as members of families, castes, cities or communities to being individuals of worth. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28 (NIV)
