Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

Vision Christian Radiovision.org.au

'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.

Gaining a Good Eye - 14 April 2022

In our program today we’re going to look at a verse in the Gospel of Matthew that at first seems out of place and second, seems a little bit superstitious. Jesus was not even remotely superstitious, so we’ll tackle it to see if there’s a deeper meaning.

Walking in the Dust of Our Rabbi - Part 3 - 13 April 2022

We’ve learned about rabbis and their students or disciples in the past couple of programs and today we’ll finish up learning how disciples would watch, follow and emulate their rabbis so closely that the process was described as walking in his dust. In other words, staying so close to learn all they could, that the very dust from the rabbi’s sandals would cover them.

Walking in the Dust of Our Rabbi - Part 2 - 12 April 2022
