     | 11,029 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). And what does the LORD say? He says, in effect, that there are two states of being, and two ways of life: and ...read more

    Creation's harmonious praise.

    THE GREATER CANTATA. Psalm 96:1-13. Psalms 93-100 are sometimes known as the “enthronement” Psalms. Yet this is not the enthronement of any earthly king (Psalm 93:1; Psalm 97:1; Psalm 99:1). Many of the words of this particular Psalm (Psalm 96) make their first appearance at the instalment of ...read more

    The remission or retaining of sins is declarative, and belongs to the task of preaching the gospel.

    BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD. John 20:19-23. It was the evening of the first day of the week: the day of the resurrection; the first day of the new creation. The disciples met together behind closed doors “for fear” (John 20:19). Fear stifles faith: this is why the Lord and His messengers so ...read more

  • Between Grace And Glory

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 14, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,091 views

    The grace that saves us is the grace that teaches us how to renounce the old way of life, and live the new life which is ours in Christ Jesus.

    BETWEEN GRACE AND GLORY. Titus 2:11-14. The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to Titus has much to say about how Christian people should live between the two Advents - or “epiphanies” - of our Lord Jesus Christ: and this little section sets a theological basis for our behaviour. The grace of God has ...read more

    Four more imperatives for right Christian living.

    THE UNIFORM OF THE DAY. Colossians 3:12-17. 1.

    Be merciful. My heart is fixed. Be thou exalted.

    FROM PRAYER TO PRAISE. Psalm 57:1-11. This is a beautifully crafted Psalm which, according to the title, was written by David ‘when he fled from Saul in the cave.’ The Psalm has two sections: first a prayer (PSALM 57:1-6); then second, praise (PSALM 57:7-11). Each section opens with a repeated ...read more

    Peter's sermon at the house of Cornelius: the Gentile Pentecost.

    A WORD TO THE GOD-FEARING. Acts 10:34-43.

    ELIJAH RAISES THE WIDOW’S SON. 1 Kings 17:17-24.

This small passage lies at the heart of the so-called ‘Isaiah Apocalypse’ of chapters 24-27 and brings hope into an otherwise dismal prospect.

    To attack God's people is to attack the LORD Himself!

  • Praising The Beauty Of Holiness.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 31, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 379 views

    Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus.

    PRAISING THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS. Psalm 48:1-7. This psalm begins with a simple statement of fact: “Great is the LORD” and, because of the greatness of the LORD, He is “greatly to be praised” (PSALM 48:1a). Where is the LORD to be praised? In the place that God has chosen (cf. 2 Chronicles ...read more

    We might hide our sins from men, but God knows our hearts.

    THE VAIN CONFIDENCE OF THE DISOBEDIENT. Jeremiah 7:9-15.

Romans 5:20), and he realised that he had to square up to ...read more

    Honour and the Fear of God.

    LIVING BEFORE GOD IN THE WORLD. 1 Peter 2:11-17.
