    NUMBERING OUR DAYS. Psalm 90:1-12. Psalm 90:1. It is remarkable that the children of Israel survived 400 years in Egypt, and for some of that time under unspeakable oppression.

    A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES. Matthew 6:24-34. MATTHEW 6:24. We must choose between “God” and “Mammon.” It is all a question of priorities.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2024

Of Paul and Apollos (cf. 1 Corinthians 4:6). b). “as ministers (attendants) of Christ.” Not lords over the Church (cf. 1 Peter 5:3), but servants of the Lord of the Church. Servants, ...read more

    Let us always be open to that grace, and to the daily manifestation of it in our own lives, and in the lives of others.

    RECEIVE NOT THE GRACE OF GOD IN VAIN. 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. With the once-and-forever experience of a true conversion to God-in-Christ, there continues to be the on-going necessity of being sanctified.

    JESUS CLAIMS HIS KINGDOM. Daniel 7:13-14. In DANIEL 7:13, “one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.” In the Gospels, ‘Son of man’ is Jesus’ favourite name for Himself (cf. Mark 14:61-62). It was understood to ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 821 views

    The LORD is God alone, and will tolerate no rivals.

    LOVE THE LORD THY GOD. Deuteronomy 6:4-9. One of the core texts in the whole Bible is the Shema (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5). “Hear O Israel…” is something of a refrain in Deuteronomy, much as Jesus would later often say, ‘he who has ears to hear, let him hear.’ Here we are told who the LORD is, and ...read more

    Shaping our prayers in accordance with what we know about the character of God.

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

    God spoke and it was done.

    THE FIRST DAY. Genesis 1:1-5. GENESIS 1:1. “In the beginning” is a temporal expression; it pertains to time.
