     | 545 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.

    A BOLD PRAYER. Genesis 18:23-32. The conversation between the LORD and Abraham suggests a relationship. God shares His Word with His covenant children, and prompts us to respond.

    The ultimate Son of man, the new Adam, is given dominion over all mankind.

    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.

    There is no separating out until the harvest.

    THE PARABLE OF THE WEEDS. Matthew 13:24-30.

    A COMMITMENT TO PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 111:1-10.
