     | 8,465 views

    We sometimes need to step aside from the busyness of life for more intimate communion with God. The will of Jesus is that all those given to Him by the Father should behold His glory.

    THE GLORY OF THE MESSIAH. Matthew 17:1-9. The One who referred to Himself as the ‘Son of man’ had just been acknowledged as the Son of God (Matthew 16:16).

    BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD. John 1:29-37.

     | 9,242 views

    The in-gathering of Israel, and of the nations.

    PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT, AND LOVED. Isaiah 43:1-7. This beautiful poem is a love letter. It is from the LORD, who created the world (Isaiah 40:26), and who directs the affairs of nations (Isaiah 40:22-23). It is from the One who created Jacob, and formed the nation of Israel (Isaiah 43:1). The ...read more

  • The Controversy Of The Lord

    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,461 views

    What does the LORD require of you?

    THE LORD’S CONTROVERSY. Micah 6:1-8. It is tragic when God has to serve a summons upon His own people. The “prisoner in the dock” is Israel herself, and the LORD is ready to submit His case. The witnesses are the mountains and hills (Micah 6:1), and strong foundations of the earth (Micah 6:2). ...read more

     | 5,954 views

    The telling of the message: the imparting of a divine mystery.

    THE APOSTOLIC TESTIMONY. 2 Peter 1:16-18. Peter had a genuine pastoral concern for the purity of the church after his own death, literally his “exodus” (2 Peter 1:14-15). The Apostle wrote his second letter against a background of false teaching which denied the second coming of our Lord Jesus ...read more

     | 14,049 views

    There is a time to wait, and a time to move forward.

    WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES. Isaiah 40:21-31. When Isaiah was first commissioned (Isaiah 6:8-9), he saw the LORD ‘high and lifted up’ (Isaiah 6:1). Now at his second commissioning (Isaiah 40:6), he sees the LORD ‘sitting above the circle of the earth’ (Isaiah 40:22). I call this the ‘second ...read more

  • A Year And A Day.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 5, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,454 views

    The acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengeance.

    A YEAR AND A DAY. (1) The Acceptable Year of the Lord (Luke 4:16-21). This is thought to be earliest record which we have of a synagogue service. Perhaps Isaiah 61:1-2 was the reading of the day, but Jesus deliberately chose where to end the reading. Luke 4:18-19 stops short of ‘the ...read more

    Some thoughts on 1 Corinthians 13.

    THE GIDDY HEIGHTS OF AGAPE LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13. At the end of the previous chapter Paul encouraged the Corinthians (church) to be, literally, ‘zealous’ for the best gifts (‘charismata’). ‘And yet,’ he said, ‘I show unto you a more excellent way’ (1 Corinthians 12:31). What is that ...read more

    A young boy called into the service of God. An old priestly family rejected.

The days of the Saviour-Judges were drawing to a close and, as in our own days, “the word of the LORD was rare” (1 Samuel 3:1).

  • Ministers Of Christ.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 494 views

    Trustworthiness is more important than either success or popularity. Ministers are accountable to God.

    MINISTERS OF CHRIST. 1 Corinthians 4:1-5. 1 CORINTHIANS 4:1. a). “Let a man so account of us.” Of whom? Of Paul and Apollos (cf. 1 Corinthians 4:6). b). “as ministers (attendants) of Christ.” Not lords over the Church (cf. 1 Peter 5:3), but servants of the Lord of the Church. Servants, ...read more

    According to the proportion of faith.

    THE USE OF GIFTS. Romans 12:6-16. ROMANS 12:6. Within the church, and for the church, we each have “gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us” (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:7). These are to be used for the benefit of the whole body (1 Corinthians 12:7; 1 Peter 4:10-11). “Whether ...read more

    There is no separating out until the harvest.

    THE PARABLE OF THE WEEDS. Matthew 13:24-30. The interpretation of the parable of the wheat and the tares (MATTHEW 13:24-30) should not be a matter of contention, as Jesus Himself gives the interpretation in Matthew 13:36-43. MATTHEW 13:24. “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which ...read more
