In this episode we continue the discussion from the previous episode as we focus on The Law given by Moses. Does it still apply and is it relevant to Chrsitians since we now live under Grace. Are Christians still required to uphold any part of the law? Jesus says, according to the bible, I have not come to abolish the law but to uphold it. What does this mean for the Christian? Why does a section of Christians still observe the Sabbath day and another does not and meets on Sunday instead? Have listen and join the discussion Radiant Culture

We continue the discussion with Pastor Craig Ndoro and Pastor Sean Mullens from part 1. Does the New testament nullify or bring to an end some of the old Testament practices such as giving of the tithes and first fruits? Has God’s expectation with regards to giving changed? Malachi presents some very serious consequences for not giving and very attractive blessings for those who give their tithes and offerings, does this still apply? Also what is the difference between giving and sowing? Are they the same? Giving implies generosity whereas sowing implies an investment, yet we receive something out of both i.e. Give and it shall be given back to you (Luke 6:38) and you reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7, 1 Corinth 9:11)?

In this episode we discuss giving Tithes and First Fruits with Pastor Craig Ndoro and Pastor Sean Mullens as we begin a series of episodes on Old vs New Testament. Are there practices in the Old Testament that do not apply in the New Testament? In this episode we focus on Giving Tithes and offerings. Giving is highly encouraged in the NT and the OT however with a different emphasis. The OT seems to imply that giving generously to the poor was over and above the required giving of the tithes and first fruits etc. whereas in the NT, giving to the poor seems to be the core focus. Does the NT nullify or bring an end to the way of giving taught in the OT, i.e is the systematic giving of tithes and offerings still required? We know that the sin and guilt offerings were abolished by the work of the cross, what about tithes, free will offerings, first fruits, are these still required? There is hardly any instruction on tithes and first fruits in the NT, does this mean these are no longer required and replaced with g

In this episode we will be looking at some of the prophetic words that have been spoken on Zimbabwe e.g. The Cindy Jacobs Guatemala prophecy on Zimbabwe 1998, which Steve Blomefield countered, arguing that it was not an accurate prophecy as it contradicted the Prophecy he gave in 1997 (a year prior). We discuss how we can evaluate whether a prophetic word is True or Not. Steve Blomefield's 1997 prophecy on Zimbabwe seems to have been fulfilled, does this then necessarily make Cindy Jacobs one innacurate? What value do these prophecies bring to the believer’s own life and the church as a whole? Should the ordinary believer even pay attention to these prophetic words? We also discuss how we should react to these and other prophetic words, esp. the ones that are prophesying doom and destruction. Have a listen and join the conversation. Radiant Culture

In this episode we discuss backsliding and what leads some of us to fall away into sin. There are moments where we are trapped by our desires and in sin and we can see that we are backsliding but struggling to catch a grip, . How do you prevent from yourself slipping further and how do you rise back up.

In this episode we sit down with pastor Craig Ndoro as we discuss "Faith and Works". The bible says faith without works is dead. But there's also the guy who hung on the cross next to Jesus who entered paradise, but he didn't necessarily have a lifetime of works. He just had one moment with the Savior and that was enough. We learn from the bible that it is by grace we are saved and not works so no one can boast. However, the same bible tells us that each one will be rewarded according to his/her works (Revelation 2:23). How important are these works to God and what are works anyway? What can be considered works? Just being a goodie, being kind and generous? Or its more feeding orphans and widows; evangelising and serving in church.

How do we know that the events recorded in the bible are true? Are the stories in the Bible true or are they just Jewish mythology just like we have Greek mythology with books such as the Iliad by Homer? Is the bible really the word of God?

In this episode we discuss if it is ever okay to bend the rules as Christians, even when the reasons for it are justified? For example is it okay for Christians to buy cash on the parrallel market when they cannot get it from the bank? Bringing in goods without declaring and paying duties for the goods at the border or at the airport? Can this be justified? Is it bending the rules or being shrewd as jesus encouraged us? What would Jesus do in the times we live in? Have a listen to this intriguing discussion and join the conversation. Radiant Culture

In this episode we discuss some of the things that we love, that God has given us to enjoy and how they can easily become idols in our lives. God is very clear in the bible, he is a very jealous God and commands us to not have any idols. But sometimes we restrict this to mean physical idols like those mentioned in the bible. However an idol is anything that we prioritise before God. So we often find ourselves making more time for things like soccer, watching series, music, our phones, social media etc than we've ever made for prayer and God. Have thes things become idols in our lives? How do we practically reprioritise the things in our lives such that we give more priority to what's really more important?
