    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,318 views

    Jesus goes on a purposeful walkabout in Galilee.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1. PHILIP. The first chapter of John’s Gospel, having opened with a declaration of Jesus as God (John 1:1), closes with Jesus seeming to make an ordinary human decision: to go ‘walkabout’ into Galilee (John 1:43) - perhaps to visit the home of His new ...read more

  • The Feast Of Weeks.

     | 314 views

    When I was a small boy growing up in England, Whit (or 'White') Sunday was a time when the girls put on new Summer frocks, and the boy wore a new suit. I knew little about Pentecost, but nothing at all about the Feast of Weeks.

    THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Deuteronomy 16:9-12. At first glance the Feast of Weeks appears to be a purely agricultural festival (DEUTERONOMY 16:9-10), an offering of firstfruits to the LORD (cf. Exodus 23:16a; Exodus 34:22a). The timing of the Feast of Weeks is seven weeks and a day (in other words ...read more

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

  • Towards Sanctification.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 319 views

    God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:7).

    TOWARDS SANCTIFICATION. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8. As Paul approaches the subject of “sanctification” (cf. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3; 1 THESSALONIANS 4:4), he encourages his readers on their “walking” and “pleasing God” so far; but also “beseeches” and “exhorts” them “in the Lord Jesus” to “abound more ...read more

    The prayer of a soul in distress.

    AN APPEAL FOR DELIVERANCE. Psalm 143:1-12. Who are we going to turn to in a time of distress? For the believer, it can only be the LORD. We know that the LORD has helped us hitherto (cf. 1 Samuel 7:12), and that He is ‘a very present help in time of trouble’ (cf. Psalm 46:1). PSALM 143:1. ...read more

    STANDING TO THE COVENANT. 2 Kings 22:8-10, 2 Kings 23:1-3. A pivotal moment in the history of the Bible was when Hilkiah the priest told Shaphan the scribe, “I have found THE BOOK OF THE LAW in the house of the LORD.” Shaphan took the book, and read it (2 KINGS 22:8). Shaphan the scribe ...read more

  • The Baptism And Anointing Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,137 views

    It is good to follow the crowds who listen to the Gospel, but it is better to follow the Jesus whom we preach!

    THE BAPTISM AND ANOINTING OF JESUS. Mark 1:4-11. MARK 1:4. John preached the “baptism of repentance.” Baptism is a dipping of the physical body into water. The baptism administered by John signified a turning away from sin and a turning unto God. Every wicked act, every unguarded word, ...read more

     | 564 views

    Our compassionate Lord.

    FOUR THOUSAND FED. Mark 8:1-10a. We have had occasion before to comment on Jesus’ compassion (cf. Mark 6:34). Now we see it in relation to another hungry crowd of worshippers, who had been willingly following Jesus for three days (Mark 8:1-3). How like us the disciples were, who could ...read more

    HEALING AND TABLE ETIQUETTE. Luke 14:1-11. 1. A HEALING ON THE SABBATH. Luke 14:1-6. One Sabbath, one of the chief Pharisees gave Jesus the courtesy of a dinner invitation. Jesus courteously accepted. Somewhat discourteously, the Pharisees were keeping their eye on Jesus (LUKE 14:1). It is ...read more

    Thank God for the grace given by Jesus Christ.

    THANKSGIVING FOR THE GRACE OF GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8. Paul offers thanksgiving to God for the church at Corinth (1 CORINTHIANS 1:4).

    based on 2 ratings
     | 326 views

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    WHEN YE FAST. Matthew 6:16-21. True Christianity is not the dour, miserable affair which some of its play-actors portray (Matthew 6:16). So when we fast, we must wash-and-brush up in our usual manner (Matthew 6:17). The approval of God is far more to be desired than the applause of men (Matthew ...read more

    THE LAST DAYS AND THE RESTORATION. Micah 4:1-4, Micah 4:6-7. I). “In the Last Days” (Micah 4:1-5). So far in the book of Micah it has been a message of doom and gloom for the recalcitrant people of God, with just a glimmer of hope for the faithful remnant.

    Redemption for the Israel of God.

    A STANDARD RAISED. Isaiah 62:10-12. This prophecy is fulfilled at more than one level. There is a level of fulfilment for those Jews who lived in the days of Cyrus king of Persia (Ezra 1:1-4). At the raising of God’s standard (ISAIAH 62:10), they were able to leave behind the gates of Babylon ...read more
