    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,984 views

    The road which the Lord sets before us is not easy. It requires us to give up our selfish ambition, and to walk the path of service. Yet it is a route which leads to a crown of glory for ALL who follow Jesus.

    THE SERVICE OF CHRIST. Mark 10:32-45. The disciples of Jesus were amazed that Jesus had ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51).

    When we put our trust in the righteous LORD we shall not lose our reward.

    WHO STANDS IN AWE IS BLESSED. Psalm 112:1-10. Like its immediate predecessor, PSALM 112 is an acrostic poem, using the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet in order as the opening letter of each line.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Genesis 22:1-19.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 15, 2015
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,429 views

    We cannot change the past: but in Christ, God restores to us what would have been had we not allowed sin an entrance (Joel 2:25).

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF JOEL. Joel 1-3. The name Joel means ‘Yahweh is God’ or perhaps ‘Whose God is the LORD’. There is no doubt that Joel's God is the LORD: not only on account of his given name, but also because of his courage in confronting Israel and the nations with a far-reaching ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 26, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,534 views

    Church discipline is about regaining the brother (15). When our prayer is, truly, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven - our desire will be in agreement with what God has already determined in heaven.

    REGAINING THE STRAYING BROTHER. Matthew 18:15-20. ‘The Son of man is come to save that which was lost,’ declared Jesus (Matthew 18:11).
