    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,852 views

    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 3 ratings
     | 3,813 views

    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

    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

    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).

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,056 views

    The blessing and suffering of God's people.

    BLESSING, LAMENT, AND BLESSED ASSURANCE. Psalm 41. This is a Psalm of David. It is quite possibly about David. It is also about our Lord Jesus (except that Jesus has no personal sin to confess, unlike Psalm 41:4). It is even quoted by Jesus (Psalm 41:9; cf. John 13:18). It is also about His ...read more

    Desperation gives way to elation when we trust the LORD.

    PRAYER AND PRAISE. Psalm 28:1-9. There is only one God who hears and answers prayer. His name is YHWH: the One who ‘is, and was, and is to come’ (cf. Revelation 1:8); the maker of the heavens and the earth (cf. Psalm 121:2). He is ‘the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ’ (cf. Ephesians ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 958 views

    Promises for a generation yet unborn (cf. Psalm 102:18).

    THE SET TIME. Psalm 102:15-22. The immediate context of these verses speaks of how the eternal LORD shall yet ‘have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come’ (cf. Psalm 102:13). This anticipates more than the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. It ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,245 views

    Jesus was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

    ASCENSION DAY. Mark 16:14-20. Jesus appeared to the eleven, and “upbraided them with their UNBELIEF” because they “BELIEVED NOT” them which had seen Him after He was risen (Mark 16:14; cf. Luke 24:36-43). The passage fast-forwards to the Great Commission (Mark 16:15; cf. Matthew 28:19; ...read more

  • Do Not Judge.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 31, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,095 views

    First, we must operate on ourselves, seeking out the sin that hinders us and leaving it with the Lord; and then, and only then, are we in a fit state to help the other.

    DO NOT JUDGE. Luke 6:36-42. “‘Ye all’ therefore be merciful, as your Father is merciful” (LUKE 6:36; cf. Romans 9:15). We are being called to be compassionate, to exercise grace towards those who are hostile to us. It was ‘when we were enemies’ that ‘we were reconciled to God by the death of ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 766 views

    We are dead to sin, but alive to God through our Lord Jesus Christ (ROMANS 6:11).

    THE KEY TO CHRISTIAN LIVING. Romans 6:3-11. 1. Our Union with Christ is symbolised in our Baptism. The key to Christian living is found in our union with Christ, both in His death and in His resurrection. This is what is symbolised in baptism (ROMANS 6:3-4). The spiritual reality which ...read more

  • Glory Only In The Cross.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 877 views

    “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Galatians 6:14).

    GLORY ONLY IN THE CROSS. Galatians 6:11-18. As Paul draws towards the conclusion of his letter to the Galatians, he takes the pen into his own hand (GALATIANS 6:11) and emphasizes once more the issue between the Judaisers and himself. The motives of his opponents are suspect: to make a good ...read more

    "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise" (EPHESIANS 5:15).

    WALKING IN WISDOM. Ephesians 5:15-21. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    FIVE THOUSAND FED. John 6:5-14. Jesus looked up “and saw a great company” of people coming to Him.

    "Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me" (Matthew 11:6).

    JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 11:2-10. MATTHEW 11:2-3. We do not know for sure why John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to speak with Jesus. Perhaps prison had knocked the wind out of his sails, and he wanted some reassurance that it had not all been in vain. Or perhaps it was for ...read more

    "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (1 John 3:1).

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. Abridged. 1 John 3:1-8. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 JOHN 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it ...read more
