     | 692 views

    A house divided against itself, a strong man overcome; and the nature of true blessedness.

    SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS AND TRUE BLESSEDNESS. Luke 11:14-28. The spiritual blindness of the people opposed to Jesus is demonstrated in their reaction to His good works. Their refusal to hear His message is echoed in their speaking out against Him. LUKE 11:14. A demon-possessed man, who was ...read more

     | 900 views

    The unchangeable Father of lights brought us forth by the Word of truth.

    BORN AGAIN BY THE WORD OF TRUTH. James 1:17-21. James has already indicated that our God is a generous Giver (James 1:5). Here he cites God as the inexhaustible source of “every good act of giving, and every perfect gift” (James 1:17a). There is not so much as a shadow cast as a result of any ...read more

    Leaving all to follow Jesus.

    ABRAM STEPS OUT IN FAITH. Genesis 12:1-4. Our story begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin. Here Abram’s father Terah was thought to have been a craftsman within the moon cult. At a ...read more

    The God who comes, and is coming, and shall not keep silence (Psalm 50:3).

    A JUDGMENT WE CAN BEAR. Psalm 50:1-6. This Psalm speaks of the mighty God, the God who speaks, the God of all Creation (Psalm 50:1). The God whose word shines forth from the heavenly Zion, and from the earthly Jerusalem (Psalm 50:2), to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 2:3). The God who comes, and ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 416 views

    The King who feared a people who were no threat to him; the blind Seer and dumbfounded Soothsayer who could neither see nor curse; and the dumb donkey who saw and spoke for God.

    THE DUMB DONKEY SPOKE. Numbers 22:21-31. After Israel’s defeat of the Amorites, who had once conquered lands belonging to Moab (cf. Numbers 21:26), the Moabites were terrified at the presence of the children of Israel (cf. Numbers 22:2-3). [They need not have been, because the LORD had expressly ...read more

    The testimony of the returning backslider.

    THE GREAT NEVERTHELESS. Psalm 73:23-28. The Psalmist Asaph’s opening proposition is ‘Truly God is good to Israel’ (cf. Psalm 73:1). But then he goes on to admit that he had lost sight of this by allowing himself to become envious at the prosperity of the wicked, contrasting their apparent ...read more

    A miraculous and timely provision.

    THE GRACE OF THE LORD IN THE MIDST OF FAMINE. 1 Kings 17:8-16. “Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months” (James 5:17).

    Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

    A BEAUTIFUL DAY. Psalm 118:14-29. This Psalm is the last of the processional Psalms which were sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for the great Jewish feasts.

    A Sinner Saved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 8, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,760 views

    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

     | 11,119 views

    The two states of being, the two ways of life: confronting our own hearts.

    A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATERS. Jeremiah 17:5-10. The prophet Jeremiah’s response to the political and international situation of his day was, “Thus says the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5).

    I must be about my Father's business.

    THE BOY JESUS COMES TO HIS TEMPLE. Luke 2:41-52. It was obligatory for men to attend the three main feasts in Jerusalem, but it is evident that Mary and Joseph went up as a couple (Luke 2:41).

    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,893 views

    This is in some sense the zenith of His ministry, the high point and culmination of all His work on earth. All that’s recorded in the gospels, His teaching, miracles, suffering, death, and resurrection are simply preparation, a means to an end, that lead

    SPIRITUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND GIFTS. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11. 1. Concerning spirituals (1 Corinthians 12:1-3). “Now concerning spirituals,” begins this passage (1 Corinthians 12:1). This may be masculine, ‘spiritual people’. However, given the emphasis away from individualism to “Jesus is ...read more

    Coming back to our senses in the far country.

    THE PRODIGAL SON. Luke 15:1-3, Luke 15:11-32. ‘Horror of horrors!’ proclaimed the scribes and Pharisees. The tax-collectors and ‘sinners’ were drawing near to hear the words of Jesus! The three parables which follow in Luke 15 show the calm response of the Master. The parables have a common ...read more

    A Lost Sheep And A Lost Coin.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,694 views

    Man in sin is lost, whether he is aware of it or not. Jesus came to seek that which was lost. The testimony of Christians is, I once was lost, but now am found.

    A LOST SHEEP AND A LOST COIN. Luke 15:1-10. In the first parable of today’s reading we see the caring shepherd. He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more
