  • B - Be Ready Series

    Contributed by Oliver O. Suarez on Jul 2, 2016
     | 4,799 views

    train yourself so that when opportunities come, you are enthusiastically available and able.

    There are no accidents in life. Everything happens for a reason. Others may say, life is unfair but it never was, it never is, and never will be unfair for those who understand the purpose of living. Everything that comes your way is part of God’s way in preparing you for the great work you ...read more

    If we have been made conformable to Jesus' death, then we will be made conformable also to His resurrection (PHILIPPIANS 3:21).

    OUR CITIZENSHIP IN HEAVEN. Philippians 3:17-21. The Apostle Paul had been telling of the forward motion in his own Christian life (cf. Philippians 3:13-14), and encouraged his readers to be like-minded with him (cf. Philippians 3:15-16). The writer even went so far as to set himself up as an ...read more

  • The Trust Of A Little Child

    Of such is the kingdom of God.

    THE TRUST OF A LITTLE CHILD. Mark 10:13-16. In one of our previous readings, Jesus set a little child in the midst of His disciples (Mark 9:36). Now such children, in the ancient world, had no rights: yet Jesus was happy to scoop such a one up into His holy arms and teach. We noticed then ...read more

  • The Broken Bread.

    Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 6 verse 53.

    THE BROKEN BREAD. John 6:51-58. Everlasting life is not a thing that is earned: it is a free gift of God. All that is required is that we put our trust wholly and entirely in Jesus (John 6:28-29). Jesus says quite categorically that whoever believes in Him has everlasting life (John 6:47), and ...read more

     | 2,700 views

    But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. Hebrews 10 verse 39.

    A FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND John 6:56-69 Like Nicodemus who struggled with the concept of being born again (John 3:4; John 3:9), the Jews in the Capernaum synagogue (John 6:59) struggled to understand what Jesus was talking about (John 6:41; John 6:52). Jesus’ response (John 6:53-57) is only a ...read more

  • This Is The Commandment.

     | 2,235 views

    Hear O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one. Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:4-5.

    THIS IS THE COMMANDMENT. Deuteronomy 6:1-9. “This is the commandment” (Deuteronomy 6:1) is emphatic. The whole law is boiled down to the one commandment to “love the LORD thy God” (Deuteronomy 6:5). The outworking of this commandment is seen in our ‘loving our neighbours as ourselves’ ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,010 views

    The church is an ongoing mutually upbuilding and up-growing work.

    UNITY IN DIVERSITY. Ephesians 4:1-16. 1. Our unity is based in the unity of all three Persons of the Godhead (Ephesians 4:1-6). EPHESIANS 4:1. We are asked to “walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called” How do we do that? EPHESIANS 4:2. “With all lowliness” = humility. Like the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,461 views

    A whole life commitment.

    THE WORDS WHICH YOUR EYES HAVE SEEN. Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Deuteronomy 4:6-9. The Greek title of this book, ‘Deuteronomy’ is translated as ‘the second giving of the law’. Israel has had a great history with their God, being ‘brought forth out of the furnace of Egypt to be unto HIM a ...read more

  • Trusting God.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,989 views

    Our refuge is in the LORD.

    TRUSTING GOD. Psalm 91:9-16. Christians under persecution have testified to the literal truth of Psalm 91:9-10 – but this does not alter the fact that Christians still do suffer. There are times when God does not deliver us FROM things, but rather delivers us IN things (Romans 8:37). The ...read more

  • The Destiny Of Believers.

     | 1,266 views

    The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

    THE DESTINY OF BELIEVERS. John 6:41-51. Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst... For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me” (John 6:35-38). The reaction to this ...read more

    How can this man give us His flesh to eat?

    THE IDENTITY OF BELIEVERS. John 6:51-59. JOHN 6:51. “I am the living bread, which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Jesus is the living bread which when a man ...read more

    The LORD accept thy burnt sacrifice. Psalm 20.3.

    A PRAYER FOR THE KING. Psalm 20:1-9. Jesus took with Him Peter, James and John and instructed them to ‘watch’ with Him (cf. Matthew 26:38), and to ‘watch and pray’ (cf. Matthew 26:41). I wonder what prayers they might have made on His behalf if their sleepy heads could have stayed awake long ...read more

  • When God Is On Our Side.

     | 1,330 views

    'This I know; for God is for me' (cf. Psalm 56:9).

    WHEN GOD IS ON OUR SIDE. 1 Samuel 17:32-49. Things had reached an impasse in the territorial struggles between the invading Philistines and Israel. The valley of Elah (cf. 1 Samuel 17:2) was in the south of Israel, and the two armies were set in battle array facing one another, but neither side ...read more

  • The Love Of Jonathan And The Resentment Of Saul.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 922 views

    Jonathan confirmed the kingship of David by clothing him in the regalia of the Crown Prince; whereas Saul confirmed the kingship of David by putting him in the forefront of the battle.

    THE LOVE OF JONATHAN AND THE RESENTMENT OF SAUL. 1 Samuel 17:57-58, 1 Samuel 18:1-5, 1 Samuel 18:10-16. It was evidently quite difficult for Saul to recognise in the giant slayer the same young man who had been serving at court as his own personal music therapist (1 SAMUEL 17:57-58; cf. 1 Samuel ...read more
