    Book: Sodom and Gomorrah - by Derek Walker

    Book: Sodom and Gomorrah - by Derek Walker
    One of the great judgements of the Bible is the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah along with the whole area of the Dead Sea. This book, filled with photographs from the region, demonstrates that the remains of these Cities are still there to be seen, perfectly confirming the Bible account of this dramatic Divine Intervention. Moreover, this book aims to expound the vital spiritual lessons God gave to the whole human race through this unique judgement. In particular, it provides a major revelation of the Final Judgement. This book is available on Amazon and from www.oxfordbiblechurch.co.uk (online shop).

    Nick Kyrgios ON: How to Deal with Being Misunderstood & Stop Trying to Live Up to People's Expectations

    Nick Kyrgios ON: How to Deal with Being Misunderstood & Stop Trying to Live Up to People's Expectations

    Tired of being misunderstood all the time?

    Are you looking for ways to stop living up to other people's expectations?

    Then this podcast is for you. 

    Today, Jay Shetty welcomes world-ranking professional tennis player Nick Kyrgios. Nick burst onto the pro tennis scene in 2012 after a prolific junior tennis career. Since his start he has captivated fans with a larger than life personality, passion for the game, and unpredictability. Kyrgios has won 7 singles titles and 4 doubles titles in his career, but 2022 marked the first time Kyrgios displayed his dominance making it to his first Grand Slam Final, winning 3 singles titles, and 3 doubles titles. He also reached the Quarter Finals of the 2022 US Open beating then-ranked No. 1 Daniil Medvedev and is one of the few players on Tour who have beaten the Big Three (Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal) at least once. 

    In this conversation, Nick opens up about how his strong personality online has sparked hate and negativity - how misunderstood his persona is and how different he is with friends and family.

    Nick also briefly talks about dark times, dealing with depression and addiction and turning the most difficult phase of his life into a pivotal moment to have the best year of his life when he reached the Wimbledon final. He also talks about looking at life beyond tennis and what awaits him in the future.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • How to accept your flaws
    • How to overcome fear and anger
    • How to turn your life around
    • How to deal with negativity
    • How to become your best self

    A truly inspiring story begins with a challenge and ends with a triumph, and Nick has just proven to us that success isn't elusive when you dream big and work hard for it. 

    With Love and Gratitude,

    Jay Shetty

    As in the Days of Noah

    As in the Days of Noah
    In Matthew 24:37-39 Jesus confirmed that the Genesis account of Noah's Flood was a true historical account, and He used it as a picture and warning of a sudden future judgment coming upon the whole world (the Day of the Lord). He also said that just as God rescued the believers in Noah's day from judgment through Noah's Ark, so God will also provide salvation from the coming judgment for those who believe His Word and trust in His Ark of Salvation - Jesus Christ. Derek shares the many ways that Noah's Ark is a picture of Jesus Christ, showing how when we trust in Christ for salvation we enter into Christ and come under His atoning blood, and pass from judgment into new life. Just as Noah's Ark bore the floods of judgment, protecting those within, so Christ has borne the judgment we deserved and paid the penalty for our sins with his Blood. The only way of salvation from God's wrath is to be in the Ark. This typology was confirmed by Peter in 1Peter 3:20-21. Just as Noah, having passed through the Flood, entered into a new covenant with God, where God promised not to pour out His waters of wrath again, so in Christ we enter into a New Covenant of peace with God, where He promises never to be angry with us again (Isaiah 54:7-10). Just as God gave Noah the Rainbow as the sign that he is now under a covenant of grace, so now God's throne to believers is a throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), and indeed God's throne in Heaven is surrounded by a Rainbow (Revelation 4:1-3), signifying God's multifaceted grace toward us.

    The JUDGMENT SEAT of CHRIST

    The JUDGMENT SEAT of CHRIST
    After the Rapture, all believers will stand before Christ to give an account of our lives. This is not a judgement to determine our salvation or condemnation, but to receive our eternal rewards. Derek discusses the 4 classic passages on the Judgment Seat of Christ (Romans 14:10-13, 2 Corinthians 5:9-11, 1 Corinthians 4:2-5, and 1 Corinthians 3:10-15).

    Bo Jackson, The Last Folk Hero

    Bo Jackson, The Last Folk Hero

    In the 80s and 90s, few sports stars loomed as large as Bo Jackson. A Kansas City Royal and an Oakland Raider, he was the rare athlete to play two professional sports. His strength and power seemed supernatural. He soared into end zones, ran the 40-yard dash in 4.13 seconds, hit meteoric home runs, and broke baseball bats over his head for fun. And those were just his documented exploits. Because Bo played in an era before smartphones, stories circulated — that could never be entirely proven or disproven — that he was capable of even more impressive feats. The guy was the stuff of legends.

    For this reason, Jeff Pearlman has entitled his new biography of Bo: The Last Folk Hero. Today on the show, Jeff and I talk about Bo's Paul Bunyan-esque stature, and the real life behind the legend. We discuss both the flaws and the strengths of Bo Jackson, and how natural talent can be both a hindrance and a help, as we trace his life from an impoverished upbringing as one of ten kids, to how he managed to secure an arrangement where he got to play two professional sports. Jeff explains how Bo never liked to practice — because he was so naturally gifted he didn't need to — why Bo didn't take the deal when the Yankees tried to draft him out of high school, the flash-bulb moments he achieved in college and the pros, how a hip injury ended his football days but didn't entirely finish him off for baseball, and why, after such a neon career, Bo has largely disappeared from the public eye.

    Bombas: David Heath and Randy Goldberg

    Bombas: David Heath and Randy Goldberg

    David Heath and Randy Goldberg saw an opportunity to disrupt a long dormant—and arguably boring sector...socks. They met at a startup in their 20s, each already had their own side hustles before they hatched a plan to launch a business together. Randy and David didn’t initially intend to get into the sock business, but in 2011, David read that socks are the most requested clothing item at homeless shelters. That led them to start a company they called Bombas based on a promise: for each pair of socks a customer bought, another would be donated to the homeless. Within about ten years, their one-for-one start-up turned into a quarter of a billion dollar business that has expanded into sweatshirts, underwear, and t-shirts.

    What happens when we die (2)

    What happens when we die (2)
    There are only 2 possible eternal destinies for every person - either (1) a state and place of everlasting life and blessedness in God’s Presence, for those who have received Christ as their Saviour and Lord, or (2) a state and place of everlasting punishment, for those who have rejected Christ and His offer of Salvation. Every man's final destiny is fixed by God at the time of his death, according to the condition of his soul in relation to God (Ecclesiastes 11:3). There is a HEAVEN to gain and a HELL to shun! Before the Death and Resurrection of Christ, at death both believers and unbelievers went down to a place called ‘Hades’ (in Greek) or ‘Sheol’ (in Hebrew), a place under the earth for departed spirits, but the believers and unbelievers went to 2 different compartments of Hades, separated by the Bottomless Pit. This is revealed by the true story of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-26). Before the New Covenant it was impossible for anyone to be born again, and so it was impossible for their spirits to go into Heaven. But now through Christ's death and resurrection, the New Birth is available, which means that when believers die now, our spirits can go straight up to Heaven, because our spirits have been changed, born again, and made perfect in Christ. When Christ rose from the dead, He made the spirits of the Old Testament saints perfect by giving them the New Birth, and then took them to Heaven with Him, so they are there now. Jesus promised that believers in the Church Age would not go down to Hades, but up to Heaven for they are now in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 16:18, John 3:3-6). Derek gives a number of scriptures that prove that believers now go up ti Heaven when they die. On the other hand, unbelievers still go down to Torments in Hades, a temporary place of punishment for their soul, because they died in their sins and are guilty. They rejected the grace of God, the work of Christ and the witness of the Holy Spirit. They must wait in this temporary holding-cell in Hades until they are resurrected at the end of time and made to stand before the Great White Throne for their final sentencing and dismissal into the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20), which is their final and everlasting place of punishment, for both their body and their soul (Matthew 10:28).

    What happens when we die (1)

    What happens when we die (1)
    God's eternal Judgment will determine each person's eternal destiny. God will ultimately divide all mankind into 2 groups with 2 very different eternal destinies, which is decided at death, when a permanent separation takes place between the righteous and unrighteous. This Judgment, which happens when we cross over the threshold from this life to the next, will be solely a judgment of that individual, and the decisions he has made in his life (Ezekiel 18:20). The Bible teaches that mankind generally goes through 3 Phases of Existence: (1) this life in a mortal body, (2) the INTERMEDIATE STATE, and (3) the ETERNAL STATE in an immortal body. After death the invisible part of man (his spirit- soul), will live on independently from his body. This is called the Immortality of the Soul (Matthew 10:28). Although the body is made from dust that dies, the spirit is made from God’s breath (spirit) and so cannot die. It continues to exist and live on after death (Genesis 2:7). Physical death is simply the separation of the spirit from the body, when the body is no longer able to house the spirit (James 2:26). The condition of each soul at death will determine its destiny for eternity (Ecclesiastes 11:3, Rev 22:11). The first Stage of man's Eternal Judgment happens immediately after his death (Hebrews 9:27). Stage 1 determines a man’s guilt or innocence. You will either die 'in your sins' (John 8:24) or 'in the Lord' (Rev 14:13). The righteous go up to Paradise, and the wicked go down to Hades, where both groups wait for the 2nd Stage of their Eternal Judgment, which is at their resurrection. After death a man enters the next phase of his existence, the Intermediate State (a temporary State, the time between his death and resurrection). After leaving his body, he continues to exist as a disembodied spirit. In Stage 2 of man’s Eternal Judgment, at his resurrection, he will appear before the Judge for sentencing. Believers will come before the Judgment Seat of Christ to be judged according to their works to determine their eternal rewards. *Unbelievers will stand before the Great White Throne for their final sentencing. They are judged according to their works to determine the degree of their eternal punishment. They are then dismissed to their final place of punishment, the Lake of Fire (Revelation 20:11-15). A major change took place through the Death and Resurrection of Christ, so Derek shows what happened in Old Testament times before the Cross (Luke 16), and the difference that Christ made possible for us by establishing the New Covenant and providing the perfecting of our spirits through the New Birth. Thus before the Resurrection, Heaven was not populated by man (John 3:13), but now in Christ, our spirits have been changed, born again, and made perfect. So now when believers die, they go straight up into Heaven.

    The Surprising Science Behind Building Stronger Relationships

    The Surprising Science Behind Building Stronger Relationships

    We've all heard by now just how important strong relationships are to our health and well-being. But a lot of the common advice and conventional wisdom out there about how to build stronger relationships doesn't end up taking us closer to that goal.

    My guest today has spent years sorting through what really builds better friendships, reignites love, and helps people get closer to others, and he shares these research-backed insights in his new book: Plays Well with Others: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Relationships Is (Mostly) Wrong. Eric shares what he's learned today on the show, beginning with why we're good at figuring out someone's personality from the moment we meet them, but bad at reading their thoughts and feelings, and how to get better at the latter by making other people more readable, as well as how to make a better first impression yourself. We then turn to what makes friendship a unique relationship that makes us uniquely happy, and the two "costly signals" that most develop friendship. We also get into why friends we feel ambivalent about are actually worse for us than outright enemies. We spend the last part of our conversation on how the modern age is both the worst and the best time for marriage, and how the key to ensuring that yours is one of the happiest in history is maintaining positive sentiment override.

    NAHUM (5): Vengeance Vindicated (Nahum 2:13 - 3:19)

    NAHUM (5): Vengeance Vindicated (Nahum 2:13 - 3:19)
    In Nahum 3, God spells out the righteous reasons for His total judgement of Nineveh, including her constant cruelty, harlotry, sorcery, deception, robbery and slavery. We explain her sin of harlotry as leading nations into greater idolatry and worship of false gods, and how it relates to the harlot sitting on the beast in Revelation 17. God describes His judgement on Assyria in terms of the Babylonian custom of the time of humiliating and disgracing a harlot by uncovering her in public, so that men would no longer be captivated and seduced by her. Likewise, God declared that He would remove His covering of protection over Assyria, so that her apparently strong defences will quickly evaporate before His invading armies, in order that her harlot religion would be exposed to all as corrupt and empty, and all her gods, goddesses, and occultism as powerless before God, so that they would turn from the Assyrian gods and idols, and instead worship and serve the living God.

    NAHUM (4): The Battle of Nineveh (Nahum 1:15 - 2:13)

    NAHUM (4): The Battle of Nineveh (Nahum 1:15 - 2:13)
    Nahum's vivid description of his vision of the fall of Nineveh gives a blow by blow account of the sequence of events, including the flood of water, which breached her walls and made her destruction inevitable. We explore the execution of a just war, and why it is right for God to judge evil. We see how the proclamation of Good News that the Divine Warrior has triumphed, resulting in peace for His people (1:15), is a picture of the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 52:7), that through His death and resurrection, He has judged and defeated our enemies (sin, satan, and death), so that we can live in peace forever.

    NAHUM (3): Prophecy Fulfilled (Nahum 1:7-15)

    NAHUM (3): Prophecy Fulfilled (Nahum 1:7-15)
    Nahum gave detailed description of how Nineveh would be completely destroyed, including the special role of a flood of water and a consuming fire. We see how the historical records and archaeology confirm that Nahum's prophecy was fulfilled exactly. We also see that one major reason for God's judgement upon Assyria was that her kings set themselves and conspired against the Lord and His people, and that, in this and other ways, Assyria represents the rising satanic end-time world-empire, which the antichrist will ultimately control.

    NAHUM (2): The Divine Warrior (Nahum 1:1-7).

    NAHUM (2): The Divine Warrior (Nahum 1:1-7).
    God reveals Himself as the Divine Warrior, the Lord of nature, moving in irresistible judgement against Nineveh, through a vivid poetic description. Although He is slow to anger, He will by no means acquit the guilty, and when His anger is aroused and released there is no escape. But He is always reaching out to save those who put their trust in Him. He knows who belongs to Him, and He will be their stronghold in the day of trouble. He will protect them and His wrath will not fall upon them.

    NAHUM (1): Introduction to Nahum

    NAHUM (1): Introduction to Nahum
    An overview of the Book of Nahum and its relevance to our time. Nahum is the sequel to Jonah. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, had repented when Jonah warned them that the Lord would destroy their city. As a result God had mercy on Assyria. But after a time, Assyria returned to her evil ways, and in 655 BC God's patience finally ran out. Through His prophet Nahum, the Lord declared that He would bring the Assyrian Empire to a final end, through the total destruction of its great capital city. Even though the Assyrian Empire was still at the height of her power, Nahum described the total destruction of Nineveh in great detail. About 40 years later in 612 BC, the prophecy was perfectly fulfilled when Nineveh was destroyed by the Medes and Babylonians.

    Jonah (3): Jonah's Self-Sacrifice (Jonah 1:1-16)

    Jonah (3): Jonah's Self-Sacrifice (Jonah 1:1-16)
    When God hurls a storm at the ship, the sailors cast lots to find out why. The lot fell on Jonah, forcing him to declare his faith in Jehovah. As a type of Christ, he offers himself to die, so that the sailors might live. As a result the sailors are saved both physically and spiritually, because they now believe in the LORD.

    Jonah (2): Tarshish and Jonah (Jonah 1:1-3)

    Jonah (2): Tarshish and Jonah (Jonah 1:1-3)
    Jonah flees to Tarshish. Where and what is Tarshish? Could it be the UK? If so, what are the implications for us today? We look at the many Scriptures that mention Tarshish, both in history and in end-time prophecy, including Ezekiel 38:13, Isaiah 60:9 and Psalm 72:10-11.

    Jonah (1) - Introduction to the Book of Jonah

    Jonah (1) - Introduction to the Book of Jonah
    Introduction to the prophecy of Jonah, and its historical, geographical and spiritual background. Was Jonah a real person or is it just an allegory? Why did Jesus compare Himself to Jonah? We explore the balance between God's judgement and His mercy, and how it applies to our life and society today in the modern age.
