Rev. Richard Brunton discusses the first four commandments, specifically the fourth one about remembering the Sabbath day and keeping it holy. He emphasises that the commandments should be viewed positively, not just as prohibitions. He explains that the commandment about the Sabbath is rooted in the idea that after working for six days, one should rest and enjoy creation. This principle encourages people to set aside time for different activities, including worship, and promotes balanced, healthy lives.

The Rev. Richard Brunton is starting a study on the parable of the wise and foolish builders found in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Despite challenges, this foundation remains unshaken, symbolising the power of faith and obedience in withstanding life's trials.

In this program, Rev. Richard Brunton discusses the parable of the Sower. He suggests that this parable, which may have been inspired by a farmer sowing seeds, would have been relatable to many in Jesus' time. The parable is used to explain spiritual principles. The seed represents the word of God, which is always good, but the different types of ground symbolise various reactions when the word of God is 'sown'.

Rev. Richard Brunton discusses the parable of the great banquet from Luke's Gospel. The parable symbolises heaven as a satisfying feast, abundant and ready for enjoyment.

The parable emphasises the value of every individual and God's relentless pursuit to seek and love the lost.

In this program, Rev. Richard Brunton discusses a miracle performed by Jesus. He emphasises that miracles are acts of God, not the individuals through whom they are manifested. He recounts a biblical passage where Jesus, surrounded by a large crowd, shows compassion and teaches them. Despite their concern about feeding the crowd, Jesus, instead of sending them away, asks his disciples for loaves, demonstrating that miracles often emerge from a solid foundation of God's teaching.

In this program, Rev. Richard Brunton discusses a miracle performed by Jesus, in which he calms a storm on the Sea of Galilee, as referenced in Luke's Gospel.

In this episode of Living Hope, Reverend Richard Brunton discusses the miracles of Jesus as depicted in the Bible, focusing on the story of Lazarus from John chapter 11. He talks about how Jesus, despite receiving word about the severe sickness of Lazarus, delays his visit. When Jesus finally arrives, Lazarus has died, causing confusion and sadness. The story is set in Bethany, home to Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, which served as a retreat for Jesus during His ministry.

In this program, Rev. Richard Brunton concludes a series on the miracles of Jesus with a discussion on the resurrection, the most significant miracle.
