Alfred Deakin – The Australian Powerbroker
In the latter part of the 18th century, Australia was coming of age as a nation. Five of the six colonies had introduced their own constitution, and the nation as a whole was on the cutting edge of world-leading initiatives. Literature and art were thriving, education was overhauled, and Australians were enjoying a golden age. Socially, politically, economically and culturally, the country was coming into its own. At this juncture, beginning in the 1890s there was a push by leaders towards creating a Federal government thus making Australia a fully-fledged nation in its own right. One of the key figures in this movement was Alfred Deakin. Deakin was a leading statesman, an orator and a lawmaker. This week we take a look at his life and legacy.

The 27 Club – I just need a Friend
Rock and roll demolished barriers, broke down walls, questioned every assumption and embraced every possibility. We should not be surprised that some of today’s most influential people reference the music and message of the golden age of rock and roll as the inspiration for seeing the world differently. However, with this golden age came a dark side. With all the money and fame came excess in every way. It was the era of Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll, and out of this carnage came the “27 Club”. The “27 Club” includes the rock stars who, uncannily, all died at the age of 27. The “27 Club” includes rock stars such as Jimmy Hendrix, Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jasin Joplin, and Jim Morison, and in recent years, it has added members such as Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse.
Masada: The Zealots Fortress
Judea was ruled by Rome two thousand years ago, and in AD 66, a Jewish Revolt flared into a full-scale war that raged for four years – until the Roman general Titus destroyed Jerusalem. But one outpost alone held out against the Romans. It was the fortress of Masada built high above the Dead Sea on top of a barren mountainous plateau, and it’s where one of the most heroic and incredible stories of all history was played out when a small group of Jewish Zealots defied the power of Rome.
Titanic – Endless Love
Considered the pinnacle of human achievement at the time, the RMS Titanic departed from London for New York on April 12, 1912. What was meant to be a 7-day journey came to an abrupt and tragic end when the luxurious ship struck an iceberg, 640 km from land. Isidor and Ida Straus, the co-owners of the Macy’s department store, in New York, died on board the RMS Titanic when it sunk on the night of April 15, 1912. Their love still inspires us, and it gives us a glimpse of the highest form of love – God’s love.

Blessed Are Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness (Martin Luther) – Beatitudes Series
Martin was a tormented soul. He practiced self-harm for religious purposes because he thought he had to stop sinning to be acceptable to God. He punished his body by sleeping on the bare floor of his room, without blankets, even in the bone-chilling cold of German winter. And sometimes, he would lie out in the snow for long periods. He fasted to the point of emaciation, and he would beat himself with a whip. He began every day before 2am and prayed seven times a day. Martin was looking for something that all of us, even in our modern world, are looking for. Join me for Martin’s story in our program, “ Blessed are Those Who Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness.
