    A TEST OF OBEDIENCE. Exodus 16:2-4; Exodus 16:9-15. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey.

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,337 views

    Wisdom is compared to the virtuous woman in this closing poem of the book of Proverbs: the very personification of Christ, and of all that we all should be in Him.

    A FINAL PERSONIFICATION OF WISDOM. Proverbs 31:10-31. The book of Proverbs closes with an acrostic poem which commends the virtues of a certain (literally) “strong woman” (Proverbs 31:10).

     | 12,908 views

    Who is this LORD, that we should worship Him? Why should we trust and praise this God?

    A CALL TO WORSHIP. Psalm 146. The last five Psalms (146-150) all begin and end with an exhortation to praise the LORD, addressed collectively to the congregation of God’s people. Yet it is not enough for the praise leader just to call others to worship: it is also the exercise of his own soul ...read more

     | 7,564 views

    Prayer, thanksgiving, confession and praise as community activities. Pass it on.

    A. C. T. S. OF SOLIDARITY. Isaiah 12. When I was coming to rebirth as a newborn Christian, I remember our Pastor sharing a well-known acrostic as a guideline for prayer. Thus, A.C.T.S. spells out the words: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication. It is a familiar device which I even ...read more

    Stand amazed at the infinite mercy of God!

    A HARVEST OF JOY. Psalm 126. The common heading within this group of fifteen Psalms (Psalms 120-134) is “A Song of degrees” - a reference, some believe, to the miracle of the sun going back by ten degrees as a pledge to King Hezekiah that the LORD would extend his life by fifteen years (Isaiah ...read more

  • The God Who Knows Me

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 13, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,332 views

    The fear and the respect of the ever-present, all-knowing God.

    THE GOD WHO KNOWS ME. Psalm 139. What convinced me of the reality of the God of the Bible - “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 1:3) - was not intellectual argument, but personal encounter. This occurred in two phases: first in a sense of guilt and dread at the presence of ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,513 views

    For Daniel it was prophecy; but for us it is history.

    HISTORICAL EVENTS. Daniel 11. Daniel is at pains to demonstrate the starting point for this history: it is the first year of Darius the Mede when he, even Daniel himself prophesied (Daniel 11:1). There would be three more kings of Persia, and the fourth, (Xerxes I) would attack but fail to ...read more

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1.
