    "God in His holy habitation" (PSALM 68:5).

    RISE UP, LORD. Psalm 68:1-6. PSALM 68:1. Whenever the ark of the LORD set forward, perhaps even as the priests lifted the ark onto their shoulders, Moses would say ‘Rise up, LORD, and let them that hate thee flee before thee’ (cf.

    The prayer of a soul in distress.

    AN APPEAL FOR DELIVERANCE. Psalm 143:1-12. Who are we going to turn to in a time of distress? For the believer, it can only be the LORD. We know that the LORD has helped us hitherto (cf. 1 Samuel 7:12), and that He is ‘a very present help in time of trouble’ (cf. Psalm 46:1). PSALM 143:1. ...read more

     | 179 views

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

    “I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel” (2 KINGS 5:15).

    NAAMAN THE SYRIAN. 2 Kings 5:9-16. It must have been quite a commotion: Naaman and his entourage, horses and chariot and all, turning up at the door of the house of Elisha (2 KINGS 5:9). Naaman was a mighty man, but he was afflicted by some form of leprosy (cf. 2 Kings 5:1). The prophet sent a ...read more

    Matthew's account of Jesus' Passion, as viewed from its own Biblical, historical and theological context.

    FROM THE FALL OF JUDAS TO THE CENTURION’S CONFESSION. Matthew 27:1-54. I). THE FALL OF JUDAS ISCARIOT. Matthew 27:1-10.

    HEALING AND TABLE ETIQUETTE. Luke 14:1-11. 1. A HEALING ON THE SABBATH. Luke 14:1-6. One Sabbath, one of the chief Pharisees gave Jesus the courtesy of a dinner invitation.

    "Show thy marvellous lovingkindness" (Psalm 17:7).

    UNDER THE SHADOW OF THY WINGS. Psalm 17:1-8. PSALM 17:1. How can a man, born dead in trespasses and sins, plead with the LORD to “hear the right?” Well, it is as Abraham said, ‘Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?’ (Genesis 18:25). When we use this Psalm, we are not appealing to our ...read more

    The Holy Spirit applies the message of the Cross to our lives.

    THE CROSS AND REGENERATION. John 3:1-15. JOHN 3:1. Nicodemus was a member of the strictest sect of the Jews: the Pharisees. No doubt he sought to keep all the man-made rules of his religion, as well as the law of God which was given to Moses. Nicodemus was a religious man; an upright man; a ...read more

    There was none to help except the Lord.

    SIN AND DELIVERANCE. Psalm 107:13-22. This reading begins and ends with a “crying out” to the LORD, His deliverance, and a call to praise.

    From suffering to glory.

    AWAITING THE MANIFESTATION. Romans 8:18-23. Paul weighs “the sufferings of the present time” over against “the glory which shall be revealed in us” (ROMANS 8:18; cf. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18). Our inheritance is not only what God has to offer, but God Himself (cf. 1 John 3:2). It is ...read more

     | 601 views

    "If the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory" (2 CORINTHIANS 3:9).

    THE GLORY OF THE GOSPEL. 2 Corinthians 3:4-9. Paul is confident that the Corinthians ARE his letters of recommendation (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:2). This trust towards God is mediated through Christ Himself (2 CORINTHIANS 3:4). There is a denial of self-sufficiency, and an acknowledgement of the ...read more

     | 474 views

    Celebrating the works of the LORD.

    THANKS AND PRAISE. Psalm 92:1-6. The designation “for the sabbath day” is both unique, and interesting. The sabbath was instituted in the first instance as a commemoration of Creation (cf. Exodus 20:11), but also in celebration of Redemption (cf. Deuteronomy 5:15). “O LORD, how great are thy ...read more

     | 775 views

    "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9).

    CAIN AND ABEL. Genesis 4:2-15. The acceptance of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s is often explained in terms of THE NATURE OF THE SACRIFICE. We are reminded that ‘almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood, there is no remission’ (cf. Hebrews 9:22). ...read more

     | 441 views

    All things DO work together for good for those who love the Lord (cf. Romans 8:28).

    JOSEPH REVEALS HIS IDENTITY. Genesis 45:1-7, Genesis 45:15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf. Genesis 37:3), Joseph was sold by his brethren for twenty pieces of silver (cf. Genesis 37:28). Favoured by His Father (cf. Luke 3:22), Jesus ‘came ...read more

    Our compassionate Lord.

    FOUR THOUSAND FED. Mark 8:1-10a. We have had occasion before to comment on Jesus’ compassion (cf. Mark 6:34). Now we see it in relation to another hungry crowd of worshippers, who had been willingly following Jesus for three days (Mark 8:1-3). How like us the disciples were, who could ...read more
