    Have You Stopped Listening To God?

    Contributed by Roy Fowler on Nov 28, 2020
     | 1,621 views

    What is uncertain is not the “coming” of Christ but our own reception of him, our own response to him, our own readiness and capacity to “go forth to meet him.

    ILLUSTRATION: Speaking of Jesus the Christ: "What is uncertain is not the “coming” of Christ but our own reception of him, our own response to him, our own readiness and capacity to “go forth to meet him.” Quote from Thomas Merton The time between the Hebrew Scriptures and the Greek New ...read more

    God took those pottery shards and put together, in the end, a beautiful mosaic, our Gospel tells us, of Joseph, Mary and Jesus.

    And It Was Night

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 30, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,033 views

    Metaphorically speaking, the clock is ticking away in the background. The countdown has begun. Gethsemane lies ahead: as does our Lord’s betrayal, trial and death.

    AND IT WAS NIGHT. John 13:21-32. As the Lord’s ‘hour’ drew near that He should depart out of this world, He turned His attention more and more to ‘His own’ (John 13:1). After the foot-washing and the teaching which immediately followed it, Jesus “was troubled in spirit” (John 13:21). ...read more

    Not Without Blood

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,475 views

    The ratification of the old covenant did not take place without blood. But it took the blood of Christ to bear away our sins, once and forever!

    NOT WITHOUT BLOOD. Hebrews 9:15-28. In continuing to compare and contrast the old covenant and the new, we have seen how the high priest would enter the ‘Holiest of All’ (Hebrews 9:3), alone, once a year (on the Day of Atonement) ‘not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ...read more

     | 3,963 views

    The LORD is High for evermore. Psalm 92 verse 8.

    THE GREATNESS OF HIS WORKS. Psalm 92:1-15. This Psalm takes up a common Bible theme: the dichotomy between the “righteous” (Psalm 92:12) and the “wicked” (Psalm 92:7).
