    Abraham chose to believe God rather than his own doubts and fears.

    THE LORD OUR SHIELD. Genesis 15:1-6. After the battle of the kings, Abram no doubt would have had a rush of emotion. First of all, perhaps, elation: look what God has enabled me to do with a small household army (Genesis 14:14-16). Secondly, a sudden realisation: I’ve just picked a fight with ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,422 views

    The LORD is My light, My salvation, and the strength of My life. My strength is in Him!

    OUR BANNER AGAINST FEAR. Psalm 27:1-14. It is a wonderful and profound statement: “The LORD is my light and my salvation.” It is a challenging and liberating truth: “Of whom then shall I be afraid?” Yet we must be careful not to gloss over this personal message, nor to imagine that it is only ...read more

    Remember not the former things...

    BEHOLD, I AM DOING A NEW THING! Isaiah 43:18-25. The first point of application for the prophecies of Isaiah 1-35 is the contemporary Assyrian threat, which is finally resolved in the narrative of Isaiah 36-37.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,167 views

    A lesson in true repentance.

    PETER’S DENIAL. Matthew 26:31-75. In the Bible, the weakness of God’s servants is held aloft as an example for all to see. The account of Peter’s denial of Jesus is a humbling reminder that even the best of men is vulnerable to the wiles of the devil, if he allows himself to be caught off guard. ...read more

    "I AM the resurrection and the life. Do you believe this?" asks Jesus.

Yet the sovereign Lord, for wise reasons of His own, did not rush to the bedside of His sick friend. It was no doubt as with the man born blind, “that the works of ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,123 views

    How to keep our ways pure.

    TEACH ME YOUR STATUTES. Psalm 119:9-16. The question is posed: “How shall a young man keep His way pure?” (Psalm 119:9a). Before we look at the answer, we might consider who this young man is? The Psalmist seems to be putting himself, and us, in the position of the son (i.e. student) in Proverbs ...read more

  • Mountain Climbing Without A Veil Series

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Feb 22, 2020
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,034 views

    My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

    Moses climbs up Mount Sinai - up THAT mountain- and disappears into the cloud at the top, the cloud that somehow represents the presence of God. There he stays for forty days in that haze, time apart in the presence of God receiving from God the ten commandments and other laws and teachings for ...read more

    We like to do one of two things with sin - pretend it doesn't matter or pretend it is something only monsters who are nothing like us do. The reality is something more awful.... and more wonderful! A sermon for Ash Wednesday.

    ...................................................... When my children were younger, sometimes I would be looking for the remote control. You know how it is, no matter what you do, somehow the remote always ends up under the sofa cushion. So I would lift up the sofa cushion. And there would be the ...read more

    The need for faith, the need for rebirth.

    YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. John 3:1-17. Nicodemus was a member of the strictest sect of the Jews: the Pharisees. No doubt he sought to keep all the man-made rules of his religion, as well as the law of God which was given to Moses. Nicodemus was a religious man; an upright man; a leader; a teacher; ...read more
