The Promise Of Justification Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 19, 2018

In Galatians 3:15-18 four reasons are given for affirming the superiority of the covenant of promise: God presents its 1) Confirmation (Gal. 3:15), its 2) Christ-centeredness (Gal. 3:16), its 3) Chronology (Gal. 3:17), and its 4) Completeness (Gal. 3:18).

Many of the delightful things that we anticipate in our lives are based on promises. We enter into relationships with people we care about and in broader organizations through promises. The word “promise” itself is filled with hopeful realities. We love it when someone makes a promise. It has the ...read more

The Most Important Question You Can Ask

Contributed by Nicky Evans on Jul 14, 2011

Looking at and answering the questions asked by Nicodemus (John 3: 1-21), the Rich Young Ruler (Luke 18:18 ) and Paul's jailer (Acts 16:30)) and that is 'What Must I Do To Be Saved?'

This is the very familiar account of Nicodemus coming one evening to speak to Jesus which results in that very famous discourse about the need to be ‘born again’ and culminating with John 3:16 ‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him ...read more

The Birth Of The Messiah Foretold

Contributed by Peter Reece on Nov 27, 2022

The genealogy of Jesus in Matthew's gospel looks ultra boring, but does in fact have important things to say. Matthew shows not only that Jesus is the Messiah, but He is the only possible Messiah.

I love watching all those television programmes where people explore their ancestry. Do you? In the words of the Ancestry website – it brings their back-story to life. Which is exactly what Matthew seeks to do with his genealogy of Jesus. Matthew wants to bring the back-story if Jesus, the ...read more

Matthew 6 – Part 1 – Forget The Rewards, I’ll Do It For Free! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 29, 2010

REWARDS IN HEAVEN. Somehow that seems wrong to me. Surely heaven is enough reward and besides, if all sin is regarded as the same and deserving of hell, how can good deeds then be rated on a scale, and rewarded accordingly?

Matthew 6 – Part 1 – FORGET THE REWARDS, I’LL DO IT FOR FREE! Everywhere I look people offer me rewards if I buy this or shop at their store, or buy petrol at certain petrol stations. I am rewarded on my credit card if I buy a certain amount using their card. People at the Super ...read more

A. It is prayer that activates the fulfilment of God’s promises: The title of this message includes the word ‘necessity’ because: ? Although God had promised rain in 1 Kings 18:1 that He would send rain, Elijah still needed to pray before the fire fell and before the rain came. ? Although the ...read more
