    A solemn feast day.

    A SUMMONS TO RESOUNDING PRAISE. Psalm 81:1-4. PSALM 81:1. There may be a time for quiet contemplative worship, but this is not it. It is a time of loudness, a time of noise. It is a time of fulness of joy. We are not called to be perfect in our singing, but to “Sing aloud” and “make a joyful ...read more

    "If the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory" (2 CORINTHIANS 3:9).

    THE GLORY OF THE GOSPEL. 2 Corinthians 3:4-9. Paul is confident that the Corinthians ARE his letters of recommendation (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:2). This trust towards God is mediated through Christ Himself (2 CORINTHIANS 3:4). There is a denial of self-sufficiency, and an acknowledgement of the ...read more

    How long-dead sun-bleached bones revive, and become an exceeding great army.

    THAT THESE BONES MIGHT LIVE. Ezekiel 37:1-10. The valley into which Ezekiel was transported “in the Spirit of the LORD” was “full” of bones (EZEKIEL 37:1). They were very many, exposed in the open valley, and very dry (EZEKIEL 37:2). The question is: can a vast miscellaneous collection of ...read more

    The proper way to respond to God when He is calling you to serve Him.

    EMBRACING GOD’S CALL 1 Kings 19:19-21; 2 Kings 2:1-25 What will you do with your life? That’s a mind-blowing question.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 215 views

    Paul has been accused of being a fool and weak. He does not deny the accusations, but makes a masterful ironic reply.

    PAUL PLAYS THE FOOL. 2 Corinthians 11:19-31. While the Apostle Paul was delayed from his next visit to Corinth, certain ‘false apostles’ (as he calls them in 2 Corinthians 11:13) had come into the Corinthian church preaching ‘another Jesus, whom we have not preached,’ and offering ‘another ...read more

    THE SECRET OF THE LORD. Psalm 25:14-22. “The secret of the LORD” (PSALM 25:14a). This speaks of the friendship, the intimate fellowship that the believer has with the LORD.

    Humble yourselves before God and resist the devil.

    A TRIAL OF STEADFAST FAITH. 1 Peter 5:5-11. “Yea, ALL OF YOU be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility” (1 PETER 5:5b).

     | 572 views

    Overcoming evil with good.

    HOW TO TREAT YOUR ENEMY. Romans 12:16-21. “Be not wise in yourselves,” reads the last clause of ROMANS 12:16. Paul has already warned us against being ‘wise in our own conceits’ (cf.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 16, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,564 views

    Solomon would build the LORD’s house, and the LORD would build the “house” (dynasty) of David.

    WHO WILL BUILD WHOSE HOUSE? 2 Samuel 7:1-11, 2 Samuel 7:16. 2 SAMUEL 7:1-4. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will. God’s purposes will never fail, but amongst men an idea is often marred by mixed motives. For example, Israel’s reason for wanting a king was that they ...read more

    If we have been made alive in Christ Jesus, then let us live our lives accordingly.

    A LIFE HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD. Colossians 3:1-7. 1. Since we have been “risen with Christ”, then we must “SEEK THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE, where Christ is…” (COLOSSIANS 3:1).
