     | 714 views

    "And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived” (1 KINGS 17:22).

    ELIJAH RAISES THE WIDOW’S SON. 1 Kings 17:17-24. Lest the widow of Zarephath should imagine that she was singled out in preference even to the Israeli widows on account of her own merits, she was sent a trial of faith, which both made her aware of her own sinfulness, and of the possible source ...read more

    Religious opposition to the Gospel!

    PERSECUTION: THE OPENING SALVOES. Acts 4:1-31; Acts 5:12-42. Soon after the early success of Pentecost, the fledgling New Testament church found herself facing persecution. This is not surprising, and quite in keeping with the pattern of the earlier ministry of Jesus. For example, Herod the ...read more

    It is remarkable that the LORD Himself should commit Himself to wash away our sins.

    A GLORIOUS FUTURE. Isaiah 4:2-6. ISAIAH 4:2. “In that day” is the same expression as is used in the preceding chapters (cf. Isaiah 2:11-12; Isaiah 2:17; Isaiah 2:20). There it speaks of the desperation of both men (cf. Isaiah 3:6-7), and women (cf. Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 4:1) under the judgment of ...read more

    Manifesting Christian ethics in our daily walk.

    VARIOUS EXHORTATIONS. Hebrews 13:1-6. I. PRACTICAL LOVE (Hebrews 13:1-3). 1. “Brotherly love” (Hebrews 13:1). Jesus is ‘not ashamed’ to call us brethren (cf. Hebrews 2:11-12). The readers of Hebrews are viewed as ‘holy brethren’ (cf. Hebrews 3:1). This section begins abruptly: literally, “The ...read more

    Walk in Love. Awake from the dead! Walk in Light.

    WAKEFUL WALKING IN LIGHT AND LOVE. Ephesians 5:1-14. I). Walking in Love and Light. Ephesians 5:1-9. When we are ‘imitators’ of God as ‘beloved children,’ we will ‘walk in love’ (agape) toward one another (cf. EPHESIANS 5:1-2). Our model of love is the Lord Jesus Christ, who ‘loved us and ...read more

    We are dead to sin, but alive to God through our Lord Jesus Christ (ROMANS 6:11).

    THE KEY TO CHRISTIAN LIVING. Romans 6:3-11. 1. Our Union with Christ is symbolised in our Baptism. The key to Christian living is found in our union with Christ, both in His death and in His resurrection. This is what is symbolised in baptism (ROMANS 6:3-4). The spiritual reality which ...read more

  • Shadows Of The Approaching Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 19, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 582 views

    "For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified" (Hebrews 10:14).

    SHADOWS OF THE APPROACHING DAY. Hebrews 10:1-25. The Law is but a “shadow” of “good things to come” (HEBREWS 10:1). As such the Law, though good in itself (cf. Romans 7:12), serves only as a schoolmaster pointing us to Jesus (cf. Galatians 3:24). The round of sacrifices represented here by ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 453 views

    The LORD is offering comfort into the desolation of the previous chapter.

    ORACLES OF RESTORATION. Zechariah 8:1-8. The Apostle Paul tells us that ‘All Scripture is given by inspiration of God’ (cf. 2 Timothy 3:16-17). The Apostle Peter tells us that ‘the word of the LORD endures forever’ (cf. 1 Peter 1:25). So when we find the expression “Thus saith the LORD” ...read more

  • A Matter Of Priorities.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 564 views

    The unfaithfulness of God's people.

    A MATTER OF PRIORITIES. Hosea 6:4-6. HOSEA 6:4. The two halves of this verse are two examples of parallelism. First, the LORD laments over the two kingdoms of Israel: “Ephraim” in the north, and “Judah” in the south. The loving Father asks each in turn, “What shall I do unto you?” And we can ...read more

  • A Prayer For Mercy.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 581 views

    “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” (PSALM 85:6).

    A PRAYER FOR MERCY. Psalm 85:1-7. The Prayer begins, not with personal desires, but by recalling to mind God’s past favours (PSALM 85:1-3). We must learn to “count our blessings, name them one by one,” as the hymn writer exhorts us, to raise up our ‘Ebenezers,’ our “stones of help” as the word ...read more

     | 312 views

    The ratification of the Book of the Covenant: 'not without blood.'

    THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT. Exodus 24:4-8. This short passage informs us of the writing (EXODUS 24:4a) and ratification of the “Book of the Covenant” (EXODUS 24:7a). This book consists of the case laws and moral exhortations of Exodus chapters 21 to 23. Moses appears to have written these down ...read more

  • Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,595 views

    Jesus' authority to forgive sins.

    FAITH, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Matthew 9:1-8. The place referred to as “His own city” (Matthew 9:1) appears to be Capernaum (cf. Mark 2:1). This is all the more tragic because of the ‘woe’ which Jesus would later pronounce against that city (Matthew 11:23-24). It would be a tragedy to have ...read more

    Two examples of faith in Jesus.

    A LEPER AND A CENTURION. Matthew 8:1-13. At the beginning of the Sermon of the Mount Jesus had been ‘set’ and ‘His disciples came unto Him’ (cf. Matthew 5:1). At the end of the Sermon we were told of the other people who had been listening in, how they had been amazed at His teaching: ‘For ...read more

    "It pleased the Father that in Him should all the fulness dwell" (COLOSSIANS 1:19).

    THE PRE-EMINENCE OF CHRIST. Colossians 1:13-20. Paul celebrates the fact that the Father has already qualified us to receive the inheritance which awaits His saints. We are delivered from the power of darkness and have been translated into the kingdom of His dear Son (COLOSSIANS 1:13). This is ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 198 views

    Desperation gives way to elation when we trust the LORD.

    PRAYER AND PRAISE. Psalm 28:1-9. There is only one God who hears and answers prayer. His name is YHWH: the One who ‘is, and was, and is to come’ (cf. Revelation 1:8); the maker of the heavens and the earth (cf. Psalm 121:2). He is ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (cf. Ephesians ...read more
