A Hiding Place For The Repentant

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 8, 2016

Before we can enter into the blessings which follow forgiveness, we must first admit our sin, and acknowledge our responsibility before God.

A HIDING PLACE FOR THE REPENTANT. Psalm 32:1-11. The beatitudes of Psalm 32:1-2 remind us of Psalm 1:1-2, which describes the righteous man and proclaims him blessed.

Stephanas

Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 22, 2016

Staying steady for God is all about ‘sound knowledge’ of who God is rather than emotional excitement.

From Victim To Victor: The Widows Mite

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2018

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

Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2020

Jesus' authority to forgive sins.

FAITH, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Matthew 9:1-8. The place referred to as “His own city” (Matthew 9:1) appears to be Capernaum (cf. Mark 2:1). This is all the more tragic because of the ‘woe’ which Jesus would later pronounce against that city (Matthew 11:23-24). It would be a tragedy to have ...read more

It Will Come To Pass, Because He Lives.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Sep 25, 2014

Those bad times in our life will come to pass too because God is our refuge and strength. He is always there and never misses a moment. I have always wondered just how someone makes it through this life believing some dead god.
