  • Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

     | 3,584 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

    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

     | 137 views

    The church’s cause is the LORD’s own cause.

    A PLEA FOR RELIEF. Psalm 74:19-23. The Psalmist is addressing the LORD when he says, “O deliver not the soul of THY turtledove unto the multitude” (PSALM 74:19a). The soul of a believer is compared to a turtledove. Jesus addresses the Church as ‘MY dove’ in Song of Songs 2:14. Doves were kept ...read more

  • Some Observations Of Solomon.

    Words fitly spoken.

    SOME OBSERVATIONS OF SOLOMON. Proverbs 25:6-14. 1. “Come up hither” (Proverbs 25:6-7). This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (cf. Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, ...read more

  • A Glorious Future.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 343 views

    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

    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

  • A Prayer For Protection.

     | 332 views

    "Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man" (Psalm 140:1a).

    A PRAYER FOR PROTECTION. Psalm 140:1-9. This is a Psalm of David, no doubt from the time when he was pursued by his enemies in the wilderness. The Psalm switches between singular foes: pointing perhaps particularly to king Saul and his three thousand men at arms; and Doeg and the Ziphites, who ...read more

  • Ascension Day.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,185 views

    Jesus was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

    ASCENSION DAY. Mark 16:14-20. Jesus appeared to the eleven, and “upbraided them with their UNBELIEF” because they “BELIEVED NOT” them which had seen Him after He was risen (Mark 16:14; cf. Luke 24:36-43). The passage fast-forwards to the Great Commission (Mark 16:15; cf. Matthew 28:19; ...read more

  • Pentecost.

     | 1,366 views

    Babel reversed; God’s purposes restored.

    PENTECOST. Acts 2:1-11. There is a time and a place for everything - or so the old folks used to say. There was a time for Christmas, and a time for Easter. There was a time for Ascension - and now, a time for Pentecost. The Greek reads, “in the filling-in of the Day of Pentecost” they were all ...read more

  • Do Not Judge.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 31, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,007 views

    First, we must operate on ourselves, seeking out the sin that hinders us and leaving it with the Lord; and then, and only then, are we in a fit state to help the other.

    DO NOT JUDGE. Luke 6:36-42. “‘Ye all’ therefore be merciful, as your Father is merciful” (LUKE 6:36; cf. Romans 9:15). We are being called to be compassionate, to exercise grace towards those who are hostile to us. It was ‘when we were enemies’ that ‘we were reconciled to God by the death of ...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

  • The Wages And The Gift.

    Set free to serve righteousness.

    THE WAGES AND THE GIFT. Romans 6:19-23. Upon conversion Christians, 'having been set free' from sin, 'became bondmen' to righteousness (cf. Romans 6:18). Paul apologises for thus speaking in such stark human terms: but it is “because of the weakness of your flesh,” he argues. ...read more

  • Wolves In Sheep's Clothing.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 765 views

    By their fruits shall ye know them.

    WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING. Matthew 7:15-21. Jesus warns against false teachers (MATTHEW 7:15). They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are like the false prophets of Old Testament days, who preached ‘peace, peace’ when there was no peace (Jeremiah 6:14). Jesus warns us that there ...read more

     | 678 views

    "But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law" (Galatians 5:18).

    THE BATTLE WITHIN. Galatians 5:16-24. We must “walk in the (Holy) Spirit”: to which imperative is added a promise, “and ye shall not fulfil the lusts of the flesh” (GALATIANS 5:16). We need to be aware of the spiritual nature of the battle in which we are engaged (GALATIANS 5:17). If we are ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 789 views

    “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Galatians 6:14).

    GLORY ONLY IN THE CROSS. Galatians 6:11-18. As Paul draws towards the conclusion of his letter to the Galatians, he takes the pen into his own hand (GALATIANS 6:11) and emphasizes once more the issue between the Judaisers and himself. The motives of his opponents are suspect: to make a good ...read more
