    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,924 views

    This is God's work, and the order of priority in God's kingdom.

    TABLE ETIQUETTE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Luke 14:1; Luke 14:7-14. One Sabbath, one of the chief Pharisees gave Jesus the courtesy of a dinner invitation. Jesus courteously accepted. Somewhat discourteously, the Pharisees were keeping their eye on Jesus (Luke 14:1). It was on this occasion, as ...read more

    A present trust in our ever-present LORD. He has been with us in all our yesterdays, and will be with us in all our tomorrows.

    A SAFE PLACE. Psalms 71:1-6. This short excerpt from Psalms 71 is a strong declaration of confidence in the LORD, based on long experience. Psalms 71:1a.

    Paul's answer to Gnostic tendencies in the Church.

    THE KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE. Colossians 1:1-14. The Apostle Paul was in prison (Colossians 4:10; Colossians 4:18), probably in Rome. We can imagine that any bearer of news of the churches, and of the progress of the gospel, was a welcome visitor. Such was Epaphras a “fellow-servant, who is for you a ...read more

     | 4,790 views

    We have left a God-shape hole in our lives and try to fill it with other things.

    A PLEADING. Jeremiah 2:4-13. In this passage the LORD yet again makes His complaint against the whole house of Israel (Jeremiah 2:4). As we read it, we begin to realise that this is also His indictment against the whole of mankind, and against the visible Church in particular. “What ...read more

    Let us pray for the whole state of the church of Christ.

    THE TENDER MERCY OF A JEALOUS GOD. Psalm 79:1-9. Despite what our first impression may have been, this is not a general lament about all the ills of the world but rather a particular lament about something afflicting the people of God. And even then, it is not just about ‘us’ but more so ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 6, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,770 views

    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

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,893 views

    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 reliability of the One who protects us.

    A PSALM OF TRUST. Psalm 91:1-6, Psalm 91:14-16). PSALM 91:1-2. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even those ...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

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,255 views

    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

    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.

     | 2,206 views

    Access to God through our great High Priest.

    THE BOLD APPROACH. Hebrews 4:12-16. So far in the epistle to the Hebrews, the author has made extensive use of the Scriptures.

     | 4,183 views

    Setting ourselves up for a new infusion of Grace.

    SEEK THE LORD, AND YE SHALL LIVE. Amos 5:6-7; Amos 5:10-15. Amos is already lamenting the doom of the northern kingdom of Israel (Amos 5:1), bewailing the fact that she will ‘no more rise’ because ‘there is none to raise her up’ (Amos 5:2); but he immediately hints that there may yet be a ...read more
