    Access to God through our great High Priest.

    THE BOLD APPROACH. Hebrews 4:12-16. So far in the epistle to the Hebrews, the author has made extensive use of the Scriptures.

    WHO IS LIKE OUR GOD? Psalm 113:1-9. PSALM 113:1. “Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.” “Praise ye the LORD” is a translation of “Hallelujah.” It is an imperative, addressed to a plurality of people.

    Church, in the final analysis, defines a people who are in the world but not of the world - ministering to the world.

    BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS. Ephesians 2:11-22. Church. A building or a people? Churches. Buildings constructed over supposed holy sites, in which various forms of worship take place. Some of these original citadels have disappeared, their walls removed to build alternative edifices. The problem ...read more

    A contrast between acquisitive Scribes, and a gift given out of penury.

    FROM VICTIM TO VICTOR: THE WIDOW’S MITE. Mark 12:38-44. In our previous reading, Jesus pronounced one Scribe, ‘Not far from the kingdom of God’ (Mark 12:34). Yet Jesus’ opinion of the Scribes in general was not unlike His opinion of the Pharisees (cf. Luke 11:43). ‘The Scribes and the ...read more

    It is good to give thanks to the LORD.

    A SONG FOR THE SABBATH DAY. Psalm 92:1-4, Psalm 92:12-15. We open with the declaration, “It is good to give thanks to the LORD” (Psalm 92:1a).

    based on 3 ratings

    A PASSION FOR GOD’S ANCIENT PEOPLE. Romans 9:1-5. From the dizzy heights of Romans 8, the Apostle Paul seems to suddenly hit an unprecedented low in Romans 9:1-5.

    It is never a fruitless exercise when we bring others to Christ.

    COMPASSION: THE HEALING TOUCH. Mark 6:30-34; Mark 6:53-56. It was with some measure of excitement that the twelve apostles returned from their first outreach.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 17, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,627 views

    As his name seems to suggest, Samuel was a child asked for. The destiny of the faithful was wrapped up in the birth of this child.

    A CHILD ASKED FOR. 1 Samuel 1:4-20. It was still the days of the judges, and still everyone did what they thought was right in their own eyes (Judges 21:25). Yet the LORD was at work, shaping man’s destiny according to His plan. The ‘man according to His own heart’ (Acts 13:22) had not yet ...read more
