Cor Deo

Cor Deo

The gospel is simple - we give it all up for Jesus and receive salvation. Oh wait, that is not the gospel. It's way better than that!

What was really bothering Luther, was it the selling of indulgences? Or was it a theology of glory that was the opposite of what the Bible presents? What might it look like for us to be gripped by God's upside-down gospel?

What was so glorious about the gospel that gripped the life of Martin Luther? Cor Deo mentor Ron Frost introduces the day with a taste of Luther's Freedom of a Christian.

Peter poses questions from the audience to Ron and Glen. The quality of recording is lower, apologies.

Is the Prodigal Son story the ground zero gospel narrative, or is it a denial of the core elements of the gospel?

How did the gospel work back before the Reformation? Has it changed? How glorious is the gospel, and what difference does that make to our motivation for evangelism?

Ron spoke at Ladyfield Church on a key passage in Ephesians 4, looking at how God transforms us from the heart out. A good taste of the theology we enjoy so much at Cor Deo!

Peter Sanlon, of Oakhill Theological College, looks at the Transformative Power of the Bible through the lens of Augustine.

To finish the day, Peter looks at John 4 to see what will deeply satisfy. Not just what will satisfy the world out there, but the sometimes surprisingly dissatisfied saints in here.

What does the "heavenly" Richard Sibbes have to offer us in relation to being Delighted By God?

As Christians we only have two options when it comes to deciding which God to worship - which do you find more attractive?

The grand finale of Habakkuk's great conversation with God. Which way will we go?

So can God, will God, use the ungodly for His greater goals? Habakkuk 2 is a powerful encounter with God, five woes ringing out against, well, against who?

Habakkuk's first complaint, God's response and Habakkuk's follow-up. What a start to the book!

The first session was about grasping Habakkuk's historical context, and seeing the impact of chapter 2 verse 4 in the New Testament and later church history. (Apologies that the recording halted some minutes before the end.)

Peter & Ron discuss the role of Bible reading in the believer's life, and as the fourth guiding value of Cor Deo.

In this introductory podcast we reflect on Discover Cor Deo, present three guiding values and hear from Mike Reeves of UCCF.
