    The covenant established with Abraham is not just about the land, or circumcision - but it is also about God's plan of redemption for the nations, via the cross of Jesus.

    A COVENANT FOR THE NATIONS. Genesis 17:1-7; Genesis 17:15-16. Abram was ninety-nine years old. Ishmael, his son by his wife’s slave girl Hagar, was thirteen.

    Philip preaches on Isaiah 53.

    THE ETHIOPIAN AMBASSADOR. Acts 8:26-40.

    Let us pray for the whole state of Christ's church.

    OH THAT YOU WOULD REND THE HEAVENS! Isaiah 64:1-9. When we pray for the whole state of Christ’s church, as we must do given the Lord’s own example (John 17:9), we should encourage ourselves by recalling past mercies. In the context of this passage, Isaiah has been gradually building up through ...read more

    The LORD watches over His people.

    THE BUILDING OF THE HOUSE. Psalm 127. This is a “song of degrees,” sung upon the ascent to Jerusalem for worship. It is “for” - or about - Solomon.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1.

    THE WORD OF GOD, AND A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19:7-14. Creation, general revelation, does not stand alone in its testimony to God.

     | 4,154 views

    How do we come to a Christian mind?

    Having the Mind of Christ 1 Corinthians 2:16-3:9 Paul had quite a challenge with the Corinthian church which he had founded. He had gone off to evangelize elsewhere, planting new churches.
