    Jesus goes on a purposeful walkabout in Galilee.

    MISSION TO GALILEE. John 1:43-51. 1. PHILIP. The first chapter of John’s Gospel, having opened with a declaration of Jesus as God (John 1:1), closes with Jesus seeming to make an ordinary human decision: to go ‘walkabout’ into Galilee (John 1:43) - perhaps to visit the home of His new ...read more

    A priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

    THE HIGH PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS. Hebrews 5:5-10. Jesus was called and ordained of God (Hebrews 5:5-6).

The first Scripture refers to ...read more

    Good tidings of great joy!

    ANGELS AND SHEPHERDS. Abridged. Luke 2:8-20. Whatever reputation they may have had amongst men, it was to humble shepherds watching their flocks by night that the angel of the Lord appeared (Luke 2:8-9). There is nobody so low that the Lord cannot reach down into their situation, and raise ...read more

  • Abiding In His Love.

    When we abide in Jesus the true vine, not only do we dwell in His love, but we also partake of His joy.

    ABIDING IN HIS LOVE. John 15:9-17. When a Christian is going through trials it may not be some temporal judgment for some particular sin, but rather that the Lord is testing them for their own improvement (Romans 5:3-5). Will we keep His commandments in the face of trials, and go on abiding in ...read more

  • A Shortened Time, A Passing World

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 8, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,175 views

    The reordering of our priorities in the face of an impending crisis.

    A SHORTENED TIME, A PASSING WORLD. 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. This is one of Paul’s ‘I say, not the Lord’ passages (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:25), meaning that he is not here directly quoting a word from Jesus. Not that his comments are uninspired, as some contend. The Apostle goes on to qualify ...read more

    When we pray aright, God grants all that we ask, and more besides.

    WISDOM AND WORSHIP. 1 Kings 3:5-15. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. “Ask what I shall give thee,” offered the LORD (1 KINGS 3:5). We should take up these offers of the LORD: ‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened ...read more

    Applying Christian ethics to our daily dealings.

    NEIGHBOURS. Leviticus 19:13-18. This section deals with certain ethical matters, framed for the economic, social, judicial, and neighbourly aspects of daily living. The refrain throughout is “I am the LORD,” or “I am the LORD your God.” A holy walk with God is best seen in our attitudes to ...read more

    “I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel” (2 KINGS 5:15).

    NAAMAN THE SYRIAN. 2 Kings 5:9-16. It must have been quite a commotion: Naaman and his entourage, horses and chariot and all, turning up at the door of the house of Elisha (2 KINGS 5:9). Naaman was a mighty man, but he was afflicted by some form of leprosy (cf. 2 Kings 5:1). The prophet sent a ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 502 views

    Celebrating the works of the LORD.

    THANKS AND PRAISE. Psalm 92:1-6. The designation “for the sabbath day” is both unique, and interesting. The sabbath was instituted in the first instance as a commemoration of Creation (cf. Exodus 20:11), but also in celebration of Redemption (cf. Deuteronomy 5:15). “O LORD, how great are thy ...read more

    "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD" (PSALM 33:12).

    THE CREATOR GOD, OUR REDEEMER. Psalm 33:6-12. PSALM 33:6-7. “The word of the LORD” (cf. Psalm 33:4) is the same powerful, Creative word by which the cosmos was created (cf. Genesis 1:3). And Jesus is the Word (cf. John 1:1-3). “By the breath of His mouth” corresponds to the work of the Holy ...read more

    "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" Revelation 4:11.

    A THRONE SET IN HEAVEN. Revelation 4:1-11. REVELATION 4:1. (a). In effect, what John says is, “After these things I looked and beheld an open door in heaven, and the voice which I heard first as of a trumpet speaking with me.” “I looked” or ‘I saw’ – signifying, ‘I saw in the Spirit’ (cf. ...read more

    The Holy Spirit applies the message of the Cross to our lives.

    THE CROSS AND REGENERATION. John 3:1-15. JOHN 3:1. Nicodemus was a member of the strictest sect of the Jews: the Pharisees.

    A TRIAL OF STEADFAST FAITH. 1 Peter 5:5-11. “Yea, ALL OF YOU be subject to one another, and be clothed with humility” (1 PETER 5:5b). This calls for mutual respect and humility, preferring the other to oneself. The reason follows: “for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.” ...read more

    CALLED TO BLESS. 1 Peter 3:8-15a. Peter names five virtues whereby we might be a blessing to one another (1 PETER 3:8). (i). Like-mindedness; i.e. living in harmony with one another. Being willing to submit ourselves to one another in godly love (cf. Ephesians 5:21). (ii). Compassion; i.e. ...read more

    "If the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory" (2 CORINTHIANS 3:9).

    THE GLORY OF THE GOSPEL. 2 Corinthians 3:4-9. Paul is confident that the Corinthians ARE his letters of recommendation (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:2). This trust towards God is mediated through Christ Himself (2 CORINTHIANS 3:4). There is a denial of self-sufficiency, and an acknowledgement of the ...read more
