Did Jesus take on humanity, with all its liabilities? Did our Saviour assume the nature of man with the possibility of yielding to temptation?

Is the doctrine of predestination based upon Scripture? Does God’s divine foreknowledge imply that our future is fixed? Didn’t God say: “Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated”?

Join us in a study of Romans 8-11 as we explore whether man shapes his own destiny through the power of choice, or whether this power is merely a farce.

What does the wedding garment represent? Why did the man’s failure to wear the garment result in eternal loss? And why did this man—who desired to attend the banquet—not comply with the one simple condition that would have served as his irrevocable ticket of admission into the king’s court? 

In Jeremiah 30, the prophet declares that in the final period of Earth’s history, God’s people will be faced with circumstances so oppressive, “that none is like it”. Jeremiah calls this event “the time of Jacob’s trouble”. For like Jacob, it will be this experience—unimaginable in its magnitude—that will solidify the characters of the elect, and draw from them an unprecedented depth of dependance upon God; their only source of hope.

What constitutes God’s church? How is true Biblical unity acquired? And is ecumenism the answer to a divided Christianity?

There is clearly a connection between repentance, the conversion experience (to be born of the Spirit), and baptism (to be born of water). Yet what does it mean to be converted in a practical sense? And are all forms of baptism acceptable, or does the Bible speak exclusively of one kind? Furthermore, is it possible to be ‘once saved, always saved’?

How does Scripture identify the old and new covenants? Why does the apostle Paul describe the second as “a better covenant, based on better promises”? Finally, if the ten commandments formed the basis of the old covenant, then are they still binding under the new?

In Genesis 3:15, God’s ingenious plan for man’s redemption is revealed for the first time. In this one verse rests the promise of the Messiah, the controversy between Christ and Satan, and the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering man in his battle against evil.

In John 6:35, Jesus said: “I am the bread of life”. And in verse 53: “Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.” In this episode, we’ll unpack what Jesus meant by this analogy, and why the name Gathered Fragments holds so much value.
