Prophecies of Hope is a short series considering four Old Testament prophecies that point us towards the birth, life and death and resurrection of Jesus.
Each episode Fiona, Jen and Neil will consider what the verses meant when they were first spoken, how they shape the understanding of who the promised Messiah would be and what they tell us about Jesus, who, of course, is the fulfilment of the expectation of the anointed king, saviour and Lord.
We begin at the beginning with Genesis 3:14-21.
There are segments to enjoy including the reading of the passage, 'The Cloud' and '90sToNow'.

Season Seven of The Outspoken Bible sees Fiona, Jen and Neil take on the challenge of discussing Paul's epistle to the Romans.
In chapter 16 we encounter the full breadth of the people of God in Rome. There are men and women, enslaved and free people, Jews, Greeks and Romans. In this episode we delve into what we know about some of these characters and finally reach a conclusion to the letter to the Romans. There's an Instant Preach from Jen on Joshua 24:14 and an intriguing Jeneral Knowledge question about what Jesus was wearing when he emerged from the tomb.
