     | 8,325 views

    The passing of old things, and the ushering in of new.

    NEW WINE WITH JESUS. John 2:1-11. The Gospel of John provides us with an unashamedly theological overview of the person of Christ. We are introduced to our Lord under the Genesis motif “in the beginning” (John 1:1), and as the Word made flesh (John 1:14). Throughout the book, John’s preferred ...read more

    The word of God did not come to the palaces of the great or the mighty in church or state, but to John, in the wilderness.

    THE MINISTRY OF BAPTISM. Luke 3:1-22. People may be impressed with names and titles, but God is not. As Peter told the household of Cornelius, God shows no partiality: “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34). Tiberius was Emperor in Rome. Pontius Pilate was governor in Judea. Herod was ...read more

    PEACE BE WITH YOU. Luke 19:28-40. EXEGESIS. (Luke 19:28). Jesus had already ‘set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). Now His hour had come, and He confronted his destiny.

    How can we thank God enough?

    THE ONCE AND FUTURE SALVATION. 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13. The Apostle Paul had at last heard a longed-for report of the Thessalonians’ faith, and love, and devotion (1 Thessalonians 3:6). Timothy’s good news (the word is - literally - “evangel” = gospel) was of such moment that it was a source of ...read more

  • Paradigms Of Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,465 views

    We pray for the glory of God. We consider that it is He who we have sinned against. We pray in solidarity with those for whom we pray. We don't try to restrict God.

    PARADIGMS OF PRAYER. 1. Solidarity with those for whom we pray (Exodus 32:30-32) Moses presents us with an example of true, thoroughgoing, intercessory prayer. This is Moses’ prayer after the infamous ‘Golden Calf’ incident, when the people had committed idolatry at the foot of Mount Sinai ...read more

     | 7,363 views

    The Spirit anointed the speaker "to announce glad tidings: to heal the broken in heart; to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and the recovery of sight to the blind; to send forth the crushed in deliverance; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

    A MESSIANIC AGENDA. Luke 4:14-21. Always a methodical writer (Luke 1:3), Luke has grouped together reports of three manifestations of the Spirit’s work in Jesus’ life. The first is the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus at His baptism, that wonderful moment of Trinitarian confirmation of ...read more

    You turn us, O LORD, You shine on us. Without You there is no salvation.

    A METAPHOR OF A VINE. Psalm 80:1-2; Psalm 80:8-19. There are two metaphors in this Psalm: that of God as Shepherd (Psalm 80:1-7), and that of Israel as a vine (Psalm 80:8-16). It is upon the second of these that I wish to concentrate our attention. But first we must remind ourselves of the ...read more

  • A Spiritual Abiding Of The Father And The Son

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 19, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,234 views

    The post-Pentecost manifestation of God in the hearts of His people.

    A SPIRITUAL ABIDING OF THE FATHER AND THE SON. John 14:23-29. Today’s short excerpt comes by way of response to the question of Judas (not Iscariot), “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?” (John 14:22). Typical of the disciples and many of their ...read more

    Jesus pronounces His followers Blessed, and pronounces woes against those who are taking their ease in this world.

    BLESSINGS AND WOES IN THE GOSPEL. Luke 6:17-26. The context here teaches us that Jesus had spent a whole night alone on the mountain praying to God (Luke 6:12); then He called His disciples to draw near and from them He chose His twelve Apostles (Luke 6:13). Jesus came down with them all and ...read more

     | 5,986 views

    God has given us His grace to aspire towards this high standard of AGAPE Love.

    THE GOD KIND OF LOVE. Luke 6:27-38. 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). That emphasis is repeated at the beginning of the present passage (Luke 6:27). These are ...read more

    The LORD's leading in the pilgrimage of this life.

    THE VALLEY OF TEARS. Psalm 84:5-7. “Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the ways” (Psalm 84:5). So reads the Hebrew, without adding any extra words into the translation. The word for “ways” here speaks of a prepared way, as for when a ruling monarch is ...read more

    The prayer-answering God gives grace and glory in Jesus' Name.

    O FOR A DAY IN THY COURTS. Psalm 84:8-12. The Psalmist’s second “Selah” separates between two prayer petitions. The first is that the “LORD God of hosts… the God of Jacob” would “hear” his prayer, and “give ear” (Psalm 84:8). The Psalmist is in no doubt that our God is a prayer hearing, ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,741 views

    Hope in the midst of suffering.

    JESUS UPON THE CROSS. Psalm 22:1-15. The details of the sufferings in Psalm 22:1-21 match more exactly the anguish of Jesus upon the Cross than anything that we can find in any of the written records of David’s life - and because of this the church has always read this Psalm of David as a ...read more
