I’ve been busy working on Part 2 of the Heidelberg Catechism (Lord’s Day’s 5-31). It should be ready to go live here in about two weeks, but if you’d like a sneak peek, here’s the video on Ascension Day (I thought it was appropriate given that it is ascension day today).

New Course: Heidelberg Catechism pt 1 (Guilt)
Yesterday I created a new course with the videos I’ve been doing on the Heidelberg Catechism. If you’d like to have a ‘sneak peek’ at the sessions you can do so on the course page. It will take me a bit longer to work on parts two and three of the catechism (“grace” and “gratitude”), but my aim is to get them done as soon as I can.
I’ve really been enjoying the Heidelberg – it’s a great catechism and has been well-loved by generations for a reason. I hope that you enjoy studying it here with UTB.
Heidelberg Catechism: Introduction
I’ve decided to work my way through the Heidelberg Catechism. These videos will eventually find their way onto a course here, but in the meantime I will be uploading them to YouTube – I recorded the introduction here today. Do have a watch.
The book is: “The Good News we Almost Forgot” by Kevin DeYoung
You can find the text of the catechism in many places, e.g. this website: http://www.heidelberg-catechism.com/en/
What is Christianity? – 5. Grace
In the last session we thought about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins – but what difference does that make to our lives? And how does it work? In this session we dive a bit deeper.
You may listen to the audio-only version instead.
What is Christianity? – 4. Jesus
Who is Jesus and what did he come to do? One of the most important questions you can ask about Christianity!
You may also listen to the audio-only version if you prefer.
What is Christianity? – 3: Old Testament + Israel
Part three of a six-part series on the question “What is Christianity?” To answer the question we’ll look at a very brief overview of the whole Bible.
In this session we think about the rest of the Old Testament, in particular how God promised to undo the curse of the fall and yet how sin kept on getting in the way. At the end of the Old Testament we are left with a big question – how is God going to deal with the problem of sin?

What is Christianity? – 2: The Fall
Part two of a six-part series on the question “What is Christianity?” To answer the question we’ll look at a very brief overview of the whole Bible.
In this video we think about Genesis 3, one of the most important chapters in the Bible. We think about:
- What sin is,
- What sin does,
- How it explains the world.
If you don’t have a Bible you can get them online or via apps, e.g. the YouVersion Bible app, or http://biblegateway.com. The two Bible translations I mention are called the New International Version and the New Living Translation.
