Great Truths

18/02/2025

Why do we feel like exiles in our own world? Why do our attempts at self-improvement often leave us feeling more trapped?

This week's Great Truths episodes tackle these universal human experiences, revealing how our alienation from God affects every aspect of life - from our inner struggles to our outer relationships.

"The earth on which we live is not a heaven but it is not a hell either. It stands between the two and has something of the quality of each."

Two new episodes exploring truths we all need to understand.

Ever wondered why humans consistently choose paths we know will harm us? Why we damage the relationships we value most?

This week's Great Truths episodes tackle these questions head-on, revealing how sin is far more than rule-breaking - it's a profound disruption of love that affects every aspect of human existence.

"Sin is absurd and incomprehensible, a kind of madness." Yet understanding its true nature is vital for making sense of our world and ourselves.

“You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:1-2

This prophetic warning speaks directly to today's challenges. As Bishop Paul Korir of Kenya reminds us: "The Bible guards the church against false teachings... it is the focal point of our faith."

In a time when many voices compete for attention, Great Truths partners with African churches and training institutions to provide accessible and accurate Bible teaching through: podcasts and audiobooks in local languages, partnerships with denominations and theological colleges, and written materials for church leaders, we're committed to supporting Africa's growing church with sound biblical resources.

Angels: The Supernatural Reality We've Grown Shy About?

As church bells ring and Carol Services echo with mentions of angels this Christmas season, historian Tom Holland recently bemoaned how modern church leaders often seem embarrassed about the 'weird’ and supernatural elements of our faith.

Yet the biblical reality of angels is far more compelling - and challenging - than popular culture's soft-focus cherubs would suggest. These are mighty warrior-messengers of God, serving in a cosmic battle between good and evil.

Our new podcast series explores what the Bible actually teaches about angels. No sentimentality, just solid biblical teaching about:
• The reality of the spiritual realm
• Angels as God's mighty servants
• Their role in God's sovereign purposes
• What this means for Christians today

Join us for this fascinating exploration of an often-misunderstood biblical theme. New episodes released twice weekly, each offering 10-15 minutes of clear, biblical teaching that will deepen your understanding of God's Word.

URGENT: Standing with our Syrian Brothers and Sisters in Christ

The sudden fall of Assad's regime in Syria and the swift takeover by HTS forces has created deep uncertainty for Christians in a land where the church has existed since the earliest days of Christianity. Syria features prominently in the early church - it was on the road to Damascus that Paul encountered Christ (Acts 9), and Damascus itself became an important early centre of Christian faith.

What We Know:
- Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and other major cities are now under new control
- Christians face uncertainty about their future freedom to worship and serve
- The new leadership promises tolerance but has a concerning track record
- Syrian believers need our urgent prayer and practical support

Yet in times like these, we remember that our God is sovereign. The same Lord who preserved His people through exile in Babylon, persecution in Rome, and countless political upheavals throughout history remains on His throne. As Psalm 46 declares, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

At Great Truths, our mission is to equip pastors across the world with solid biblical teaching resources. Times like these remind us why this matters so much - when churches face uncertainty and pressure, their church leaders need to be deeply rooted in God’s Word to guide their communities with godly courage, gospel convictions, and gracious wisdom.

Our Syrian brothers and sisters need our fervent prayers and practical support. We can:

PRAY:
- For the decade-long cycle of violence in Syria to end and for God’s healing, justice and mercy to overcome
- For the leaders of all parties to be led to reconciliation and for a clear commitment to protect innocent civilians
- For the Christians in Syria to remain a model of growing faith, love, and hope, even as they face great challenges
- For wisdom for church leaders and for opportunities to share the good news of Christ even in uncertainty
- For protection of Christian churches and other minorities, such as the Alawites and others

SUPPORT:
- Consider giving to trusted Christian organisations, such as Open Doors who support persecuted Christians
- Stay informed to pray specifically
- Share this need with your church family

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9)

The Serious Challenge facing India’s Church!

According to Operation World, training for Christian workers in India is an urgent need. OW says: “The life and health of the church depends on pastors, teachers, evangelists, and missionaries. Many new believers come to faith through large rallies ... but have few opportunities for Christian discipleship. Most leaders and pastors received very little preparation for their work.”

In fact, India now has over 100 degree-level seminaries (many are evangelical), over 1,000 Bible schools, and numerous training centres to equip indigenous church planters. But as India is now the world's most populous nation with more than 1.4 billion people, much more is needed. Pray for creative, effective models to reach the country’s pastors and leaders with Bible teaching and for Great Truths as we seek to serve this vital need.
