The Bible Matters team has been encouraged by Colossians 3:23 recently: 'Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men'. All your feedback has helped us to make some more improvements. Our prayer is that we stay focused on the gospel, working for God's glory, not ours. Please do pray for our work as you wait for the app to update. This version will include:

- You can now go forwards or backwards 10 seconds rather than 30 in talks.
- 'Pick up where you left off' on the homepage now works better and is now ordered by most recently played.
- Fixed a bug where talks that are not in a series now download successfully.
- And series navigation works more intuitively. The link between series and talks (and going backwards) should be better.

Also from Colossians (1:16): 'For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

Everyone in the Bible Matters team longs for the new creation, where there will be no bugs. In the meantime, this fallen world has many bugs. This important update fixes some of them and adds some extra small improvements.
