A big idea approach to a section of Scripture that tells a story usually digests the meaning of the story, and then structures the sermon around more general principles that are manifested therein—“the faithful cry out to the Lord”, “the Lord is mighty to save”, and so on. However, a narrative sermon can be unified and structured around the story itself.

Artemis is never mentioned in 1 Timothy, which Bird acknowledges. This really is a problem for his argument ... There is no clear reason in the text to drive us to see Artemis’s shadow looming.
Christian singles dare to believe that God knows us better than we do. Therefore, what he says about healthy sexuality is more accurate than our feelings... And to serve God and others as an unmarried person, we need to avoid what the Bible calls “sexual immorality”. So we do. (From 2016)
I was left wondering where God fits into Wise AI, and hesitant about the high degree of AI creativity encouraged by the authors. But I appreciated the authors’ humility, vulnerability and real-life situations for wise AI use. I commend this book to every thoughtful Christian.

Our stewardship is not primarily of our buildings but of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, a stewardship that is enabled, in part, by our buildings. The church doesn’t exist to preserve its buildings; its buildings exist to serve the church’s calling.
Some gems from Season 1 are pieced together as a reminder of how faithful God has been in giving us his word, the community of his church and the gift of song in how we are encouraged in our faith.
