Welcome to the Farther Along Podcast:
The place where sermons can be shared farther along than the local congregation they were given in.
With the technology available to us, and in an easily digestible format, we hope to send quality Christian teaching farther along to whoever in the world is listening. We aim to make solid gospel preaching more accessible in the hopes of bringing us all of us closer together and closer to Jesus.
Today’s episode comes from Alaska where my friend Patrick Swayne preaches. Patrick takes us all the way back to the beginning and focuses on the first lesson the Bible brings to our attention on its very first page. God made everything. While we may accept this reality, the truth of this claim is often questioned and we often turn to the study of Christian Apologetics to defend it. This is vitally important, but let’s not miss the Bible’s claims about our Creator God and his authority over this world and every one of our lives.
Patrick is also a staff writer with Truth for the World. Check out theirwebsite (https://truthfortheworld.org) in the show notes for great biblical material in the form of blog posts, videos, articles, podcasts and other media pointing us back to our Bibles.

#19 - The Sacrifice (Genesis 22:1-19) - G. Clay Leonard
Today’s episode comes from Clay Leonard on a tough text from the book of Genesis. Do you remember God’s command to Abraham to kill his son Isaac? If you’re like me and grew up in Sunday School, maybe you’ve never thought much about it. A couple of years ago, however, I was teaching a class full of nonChristians in a secular university and this same story from Genesis 22 came up. The majority of the students in the classroom had never heard of it but they responded with shock and anger towards a God that would demand human sacrifice. How should we understand this story? How does it impact our knowledge of God as our Father? Clay does an excellent job of answering these questions.
After the episode, be sure to check out Clay’s website:gclayleonard.com (http://gclayleonard.com) . It has some great free VBS material that he’s written and designed, a free PDF of Authorized Worship, and a link to his newest bookThe Weekly Wordon Amazon.

#18 - Dealing with Relativism - Trevor Major 🇳🇿
After the past two episodes, I’m reminded how much I miss New Zealand church of Christ family camps. This next lesson completes the recent trilogy from last year’s Easter camp and comes from Trevor Major on the challenges of relativism and how we as Christians might use the story of Jesus to show the importance of truth. Again, apologies on the less than perfect audio quality, but the lesson is well worth it.
