@simplepastor I was scrolling quickly and I totally read that as Lol

When I’m eating shared nachos I’m always thinking 3 nacho moves ahead of my opponent.

@shaw_davidm Wow! That does indeed sound fake (and I believe you). Fascinating!

Last week I gave two talks on worship and I genuinely think the first (a biblical theology of singing entitled 'Why on earth do we sing?') may be one of the most important talks I've ever given! Certainly one that brought me enormous personal revelation:

What is hope, and where can we find it? In this talk, I unpack the story of two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and show how an encounter with Jesus broke through their disappointment and gave them a new hope.

BUILDING WITH WISDOM (MATT 7.24–29)

The Sermon on the Mount ends with a promise that a life built on Jesus' word will be able to weather the storms of life. In this talk I look at what it means to be those who hear God's word and do what he says

[Liam Thatcher @liamthatcher]

What does God look for in a leader? And how can we live a life pleasing to him? In this talk I look at 1 Samuel 16, considering the difference between David and Saul.

"People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Sam 16.7)

@hannahmerich Oh! That makes more sense. I was very confused, and assumed one of the articles was some AI-generated-error-laden mess.

Just noticed that @LigonDuncan believes in sprinkling and @PrestonSprinkle believes in dunking. 🤯

I feel there's a 6 hour video on @mbird12 coming up! And I'm firmly on #TeamWinger

Drinking black coffee doesn’t make you more manly.

But it sure feels like it does.

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM | MATT 6.25–34

Jesus teaches that we should resist worry and trust God for provision. But what does this look like in practice? In this talk I unpack 3 ways God provides, and consider how we can prioritise His Kingdom

Funny how Spurs had to get a Tudor in to confirm they’ll beheading down.

@simplepastor I've love to hear your 1 sentence review for each of the books on the list 😂

[Liam Thatcher @liamthatcher]

I'm enjoying this 'choose your own adventure' from @grok and as an Arsenal fan, I naturally choose the version of reality that's most favourable to us, even if it's not in the least bit accurate!

J: "I have a question about Adam and Eve"

Me: [Bracing myself...] "Yes...?"

J: "What was their surname?"

[Liam Thatcher @liamthatcher]

My daughter recently asked me to tell her the whole story of the Bible. So each day as we walk to school I tell her the next bit and we discuss it.

It's been quite profound, but also amusing hearing some of her assumptions and misunderstandings:

A 🧵 of highlights so far:

[Liam Thatcher @liamthatcher]

Me: "The Psalms say that God is our fortress. Do you know what a fortress is?"

J: "Yep, it's something we build in the front room with cushions."

[Liam Thatcher @liamthatcher]

In the second half of the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus invites us to bring our needs before God, asking for daily provision of food, forgiveness, and protection from the evil one. This sermon looks at how we can pray this prayer today.

Do Irish Bibles contain the story of Adam and Iamh?
