    Such outpouring of ourselves, painful perseverance, tenacity in prayer - will cause us also to prevail. Thus, like Jacob, we will procure the blessing

    A METAPHOR FOR PRAYER. Genesis 32:22-31. “The ford Jabbok” (Genesis 32:22) is significant, first, in that it was the border of the land of promise (cf. Numbers 21:24). Second, it was here that Jacob had a lifechanging encounter with God, and had his name changed from Jacob to Israel (Genesis ...read more

    What is the chaff to the wheat, says the LORD.

    IS NOT MY WORD LIKE AS A FIRE? Jeremiah 23:23-29. Speaking for the LORD, Jeremiah complained that his heart was ‘broken’ within him because of false prophets (Jeremiah 23:9-12).

    GROWING BETTER IN BAD TIMES. 1 Samuel 2:18-20; 1 Samuel 2:26. The children of Israel forsook the LORD, and the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He visited them with temporal judgments (Judges 2:13-15). ‘Nevertheless,’ (O, precious word!) the LORD raised up judges, or ‘saviours’ ...read more

    Philip preaches on Isaiah 53.

    THE ETHIOPIAN AMBASSADOR. Acts 8:26-40. Many centuries ago, long before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah foresaw the suffering of “the Servant of the LORD” in dramatic language which hid nothing of the horror and the power of the vision which was disclosed to him. This same prophecy has ...read more

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1.

    A TWOFOLD STEWARDSHIP. 2 Kings 4:42-44. A certain man brought to Elisha a portion of the first-fruits of his land (2 Kings 4:42).

    A COVENANT FOR THE NATIONS. Genesis 17:1-7; Genesis 17:15-16. Abram was ninety-nine years old. Ishmael, his son by his wife’s slave girl Hagar, was thirteen. Now, after a long silence, the LORD spoke anew to Abram. When we try to work out God’s purposes on our own strength, as Abram and Sarai ...read more

    A priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

    THE HIGH PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS. Hebrews 5:5-10. Jesus was called and ordained of God (Hebrews 5:5-6).
