The pressure of the crowd must never be allowed to take precedence over a right relationship with God.

THIS IS WHAT I CAME TO DO. Mark 1:29-39. 1. The first Deacon (Mark 1:29-31). After the synagogue service in Capernaum, Jesus and His four companions went to the home of Simon and Andrew (Mark 1:29). Was this the first after-church fellowship - or perhaps even the formation of the first ...read more

From Victim To Victor: The Widows Mite

based on 3 ratings

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

A Sequence Of Sayings

A reward for those who welcome Jesus' disciples. A warning for those who lead them astray.

A SEQUENCE OF SAYINGS. Mark 9:38-50. 1. John informed Jesus of “one casting out devils in Your name; and we forbad him because he follows not with us” (Mark 9:38). Perhaps John’s jealousy was fired by the failure of the nine members of the team who - whilst Jesus, Peter, James and John ...read more

The Paraclete

The church is called to bear witness to Jesus, but this witness is primarily the witness of the Holy Spirit.

THE PARACLETE. John 15:26-27. I. CONTEXT Jesus said, ‘I will pray the Father, and (1) He shall give you another Comforter’ (John 14:16). The word Paraclete, here translated as ‘Comforter’, speaks of One who draws alongside. The same word can be translated as ‘Helper’, ‘Counsellor’ or ...read more

based on 2 ratings

| 1,424 views

Two examples of faith in Jesus.

A LEPER AND A CENTURION. Matthew 8:1-13. At the beginning of the Sermon of the Mount Jesus had been ‘set’ and ‘His disciples came unto Him’ (cf. Matthew 5:1). At the end of the Sermon we were told of the other people who had been listening in, how they had been amazed at His teaching: ‘For ...read more

Jesus predicts His death and resurrection. A blind man receives his sight, and his salvation.

HOLISTIC HEALING THROUGH THE CROSS. Luke 18:31-43. 1. Jesus predicts His death and resurrection (Luke 18:31-34). Jesus was a patient teacher. The Lord reminded His disciples that His journey to Jerusalem would precipitate events which would lead to His death and resurrection. This was why ...read more

Jesus wept over Jerusalem, cleansed the Temple, and taught the people who were attentive to Him.

WEEPING, CLEANSING, AND TEACHING. Luke 19:41-47a. 1. Jesus weeps over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44). As He approached Jerusalem, ‘the man Christ Jesus’ (cf. 1 Timothy 2:5) wept over the city and the people whom He loved (Luke 19:41). His complaint about the people (Luke 19:42) became a ...read more

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it for ever. Psalm 48:8.

THE POWER OF PRAISE. Psalm 48:1-14. 1. The God of the City. Before we can talk about the “city of our God” we must recognise and acknowledge the God of the city. The Bible does not begin with Jerusalem, but with God. The New Testament does not begin with the church, but with Jesus. This ...read more

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.

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. These people are identified as “the ...read more

Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

based on 3 ratings

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

From Adam, where are you? to victory in Jesus.

FROM ADAM TO CHRIST. Genesis 3:8-15. Adam was the representative head of the human race, and when he partook of the forbidden fruit, he brought disaster and death upon all of his descendants. Spiritual death, separation from God, was immediate. Suddenly man and his wife realised that they were ...read more

The fatherly tears of David the king, and the compassion of God.

WOULD GOD I HAD DIED FOR THEE! 2 Samuel 18:5-9; 2 Samuel 18:15; 2 Samuel 18:31-33. When I was still on the threshold between boyhood and manhood, I wrote two books of poems. The first I entitled, 'Going our own way.' I did not think of it at the time, but perhaps I was using the ...read more

The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 6 verse 51.

A PERPETUAL PROMISE AND THE BROKEN BREAD. John 6:35, John 6:41-51. Jesus said, ‘I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst’ (John 6:35). “I AM” is, of course, the name of God (Exodus 3:14).

Jesus In The Midst: The Upper Room.

Trying to understand Jesus without the Scriptures is futile, and comprehending Scripture without Jesus opening our understanding is impossible

JESUS IN THE MIDST: THE UPPER ROOM. Luke 24:36-48. What a scene met the two from the Emmaus Road upon their return to Jerusalem! The dejected church was now declaring its Easter message: “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon.” To which they added their own testimony of the risen ...read more

We draw our spiritual life from the Lord Jesus Christ just as surely as the branch draws the sap from the root.

THE TRUE VINE. John 15:1-8. In Psalm 80:8-16 Israel is poignantly portrayed as a vine which has spread throughout the whole land, only to be torn down, devoured, and burnt at the time of the Exile. The vineyard motif is again taken up in Isaiah 5:1-7, where a moral reason is given for this ...read more
