In this first presentation, Seán provides some introductory remarks on the culture and context of Matthew in order to prepare for a conversation on how we might discuss faith in our own context today.

In this second presentation, Seán pays particular attention to the shape and themes in Matthew to provide an overview of the Gospel before focusing on any specific texts.

In this third presentation, Seán begins to look at the Kingdom of Heaven which Jesus proclaims in word as can be seen in the Sermon on the Mount, particularly the opening Beatitudes of 5:3-10.

In this fourth presentation, Seán continues looking at the Kingdom of Heaven as revealed through deeds such as miracles (Matthew 8-9), and how such actions speak of God and reflect Jesus's own faith in the Kingdom.

In this fifth presentation, Seán looks at how Jesus also came to gather disciples and initiate a community of faith that would take on board his view of Kingdom of Heaven.

In this sixth and final presentation, Seán explores the portrayal of Jesus as the Servant of God and how this can be an inspiration for us who are living the Christian faith today. Text engaged with: Matthew 4:1-11.

In this first presentation, Jessie looks at what a prophet is and what they do, focusing in particular on prophetic call narratives such as the calls of Moses (Exodus 2:23-4:17), Isaiah (Isaiah 6), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:4-16), second Isaiah (Isaiah 49:1-6), and Paul (Galatians 1:13-17).

In this second presentation, Jessie focuses on the Exile which, while being the central crisis around which much of the Hebrew Bible revolves, it might also be similar to a contemporary reality for many people. The following texts are engaged with: Genesis 17:1-8, Exodus 19:2-6, Deuteronomy 28:1, Matthew 1, Jeremiah 22:1-23:8, 2 Kings 24:1-25:22,  and Psalms 44, 126, and 137.

In this third presentation, Jessie explores how the prophets use recollections of the past and predictions of the future as a way of inviting God's people to live more authentically in the now.

In this fourth presentation, Jessie looks at how the beginning and ending of salvation history are imagined, first with the Garden of Eden and the New Jerusalem at the end, and how the prophets contribute to that journey.

In this fifth presentation, Jessie continues with the previous topic and the prophetic views of the future where the familiar line "thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven," will finally be answered.

In this sixth and final presentation, Jessie explores the Earth as our common home in both the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic and how we need to pay attention to the "groans" of the excluded and overlooked, to whom God hears and responds.

In this first presentation, Kieran introduces cosmology and how we might begin to talk about God with the new worldview that has arisen, and continues to do so, through the advances of science and our increasing understanding of the universe.

In this second presentation, Kieran looks at the essential background of how Colossians and Ephesians would have been understood at the time of their writing, which means exploring their worldview. The following texts are interacted with: Proverbs 8:22-26, Sirach 24:1-9, Wisdom 7:22, 1 Corinthians 15:20-29, 42-49, 1 Enoch 48:2-6, 2 Enoch 19:1-4.

In this third presentation, Kieran turns to the Letter to the Colossians and provides an overview of the text by looking at its background, authorship, and context.

In this fourth presentation, Kieran continues exploring the Letter to the Colossians, looking specifically at the "Christ Hymn" that is found in 1:15-20.

In this fifth presentation, Kieran begins looking at the Letter to the Ephesians and provides an introductory overview of the text similarly to presentation four, although also noting some intriguing connections between Ephesians and Colossians along the way. 

In this sixth and final presentation, Kieran continues exploring the Letter to the Ephesians, focusing here on the blessing prayer found at the beginning of the letter in 1:3-14.
