Revelation is a practical book (5.42 minutes)
Revelation is a practical book. Some people get scared and confused by the images in Revelation, but it’s really a very practical book for our lives as Christians, with a message for how we can live. See:

The genre of the Gospels with implications for them as historical sources
This is a video of a lecture I gave at Jakarta Theological Seminary in Indonesia some months ago, plus questions from students afterward. The full video is 3 hours, but you can skip ahead to parts you want. The second section is on the plausibility of miracle accounts in the Gospels.
What is the gospel of the kingdom?
The good news of God’s reign: we have a foretaste already of the not yet, although the fullness remains future at Jesus’s return:
We have a foretaste of heaven inside us
Paul uses the Greek term arrhabôn, a term used in business documents for a downpayment, to describe the gift of the Spirit as a foretaste of our future inheritance (2 Cor 1:22; 5:5; Eph 1:13-14). The Spirit is also the aparchê, the first fruits of our future experience with God (Rom 8:23). Through the Spirit, we await full vindication (Gal 5:5) and experience a foretaste of the coming world (1 Cor 2:9-10).

What do we mean when we say, “led by the Spirit”? (2 minutes)
Scripture speaks of what we call “inward leadings” in various places, in various ways. The expression “led by the Spirit” in context refers especially to God guiding us in living in his way, but the idea of how the Spirit guides us can apply also to divine comfort, direction, urging for evangelism, etc.

This is a message I preached at an evangelical Presbyterian church in Indiana. This link worked when I tried it and hopefully still works when you try it!
