    He does not allow our foot to slip.

    A SPACIOUS PLACE. Psalm 66:1-12. The superscription to this Psalm is addressed, “To the chief musician. A Song or Psalm.” Whether sung or spoken, it is a call to all nations to “Make a joyful noise” to God (Psalm 66:1). Which God? Well, compare Psalm 100:1, where YHWH, ‘the LORD’ is named. ...read more

  • Covenant People In The Dock.

    When He calls His covenant people to judgment, those bound to Him by sacrifice, it is not necessarily something to strike terror into our hearts: because that covenant is true, and that all-sufficient sacrifice is Jesus.

    COVENANT PEOPLE IN THE DOCK. Psalm 50:1-8, Psalm 50:22-23. “A Psalm of Asaph,” reads the superscription. Asaph was a chief musician contemporary with King David (1 Chronicles 16:4-7). Asaph is also referred to as a ‘seer’ (2 Chronicles 29:30). Taken as a whole, the content of this ...read more

    The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    NOW FAITH IS. Hebrews 11:1-3, Hebrews 11:8-16. This chapter follows on from the quotation of Habakkuk 2:4 in Hebrews 10:38a: ‘the just shall live by faith’ (see also Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11). “Now faith is,” continues Hebrews 11:1. The first thing that we learn about faith is that ...read more

  • Open Your Mouth Wide And I Will Fill It.

    The finest of wheat, and honey out of the Rock.

    OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT. Psalm 81:1, Psalm 81:10-16. If we allow that the summons to praise (Psalm 81:1) is a call to celebrate the kingship of the LORD, it is because He, and He alone, is God (Psalm 81:9-10; cf. Deuteronomy 6:4-5). Psalm 81:10. “I am the LORD your God, who ...read more

  • Create In Me A Clean Heart.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,990 views

    A faithful confession of sin.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51:1-10. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more

    Hospitality, and a promise reiterated.

    A VISITATION BY THE LORD. Genesis 18:1-10a. This passage is described as an encounter in which “the LORD” (= YHWH, Hebrew) “appeared unto” Abraham when he was having his siesta “in the heat of the day.” When he lifted up his head, suddenly, there were three men standing by him. As if waking ...read more

  • An Indictment Against The Unscrupulous.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,323 views

    The LORD cares for the poor. So should we.

    AN INDICTMENT AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS. Amos 8:4-7. You trample upon the needy and make the poor of the land fail (Amos 8:4; cf. Amos 5:11). Your religious observances are hypocritical, and you cheat your customers with false weights and measures (Amos 8:5). You enslave the poor and needy ...read more

  • From Fretting To Trust.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 18, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,882 views

    Keeping faith, and resting in the LORD.

    FROM FRETTING TO TRUST. Psalm 37:1-11; Psalm 37:39-40. PSALM 37:1. Somebody is in trouble, fretting because of the unfairness of life: but the pastor’s responsibility is not to burden the poor soul with a ‘snap out of it’ sort of approach, which often only leads to further despair; but rather to ...read more

  • Sheltered By The Most High.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,188 views

    Rather than struggling against His parental protection, quiet faith snuggles in, and takes refuge in the LORD.

    SHELTERED BY THE MOST HIGH. Psalm 91:1-2; Psalm 91:9-16. Psalm 91:1-2. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even ...read more

  • Following Hard After God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,419 views

    A feast of good things in a dry and thirsty land.

    FOLLOWING HARD AFTER GOD. Psalm 63:1-8. As we enter into Psalm 63, there is both an intimacy with God, and a yearning after God. It was as if David was saying, ‘I know thee, but would know thee more.’ The Psalmist is not just on the fringes of faith, like the boy’s father in Mark 9:24 - ...read more

  • Our Faith Not In Vain.

     | 1,940 views

    Without the resurrection of Jesus, there is no gospel at all.

    OUR FAITH NOT IN VAIN. 1 Corinthians 15:12-20. Despite the fact that the Corinthians had earlier embraced Paul's teaching, the Apostle was aware that other influences were disturbing their peace. There were even some amongst them who denied the fact of resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:12). ...read more

    The third significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    THE LAME MAN HEALED. John 5:1-18. THE NEED (John 5:1-5). A man who had had an infirmity for 38 years lay by the Spa of Bethesda. So did many other people, each with challenges of their own.

    Bible reading: Luke 4:14-37.

    LUKE 4:18 - PART TWO. Bible reading: Luke 4:14-37. “To preach deliverance to the captives” (Luke 4:18d). We all have our own presuppositions about who Jesus is, and what He came to do: but one thing Jesus is NOT is a political revolutionary! Jesus did not come to raise an army, and ...read more

    A prayer for wisdom and knowledge.

    OUR INHERITANCE IN CHRIST. Ephesians 1:11-23. I). The seal of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:11-14). We have an inheritance (Ephesians 1:11), which is sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13). Put another way, the Holy Spirit is given as the down payment of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:14). ...read more

    Blessings and woes in the Gospel, and demonstrating Love under persecution.

    THE SERMON ON THE PLAIN. Luke 6:20-31. The Sermon on the Plain is directed towards those who ‘came to hear’ Jesus (Luke 6:17). It was ‘toward His disciples’ that Jesus first lifted up His eyes (Luke 6:20). These are words for those already committed to building upon the rock (Luke 6:47-48). ...read more
