    If you put five monkeys in a cage and hang a banana on a string at the top of the cage with a ladder leading up to it, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another ...read more

    Faith in the midst of adversity.

    FAITH AS TRUST. Psalm 62:5-12. 1. Context David asserts in Psalm 62:1, that, “Truly” his soul waits upon God, from whom comes his salvation. The Psalmist claims, in no uncertain terms, that his trust is grounded in God (Psalm 62:2). This is a statement of faith which he has reached through the ...read more

    Between Grace And Glory

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 14, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,990 views

    The grace that saves us is the grace that teaches us how to renounce the old way of life, and live the new life which is ours in Christ Jesus.

    BETWEEN GRACE AND GLORY. Titus 2:11-14. The Epistle of the Apostle Paul to Titus has much to say about how Christian people should live between the two Advents - or “epiphanies” - of our Lord Jesus Christ: and this little section sets a theological basis for our behaviour. The grace of God has ...read more

    Kept through the Name.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS - Part 2. John 17:11-19. In the second part of His prayer, our Lord addresses the “Holy Father” (John 17:11). This epithet is unique, but understandable. Jesus is about to pray for the disciples’ sanctification (John 17:17). John 17:11. He prays that they will be “kept ...read more

    Pentecost has a way of catching up with people.

    AN EPHESIAN PENTECOST. Acts 19:1-7. 1. APOLLOS. Apollos was well taught in the Scriptures, and he was “accurately” teaching the things concerning the Lord - but Apollos knew only the baptism of John. When Aquila and Priscilla perceived the deficiency in his teaching in Ephesus, they drew him ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,574 views

    When we recognise Jesus for who He is, we also see something of the glory of God.

    THE INCARNATION OF THE WORD. John 1:14-18. 1. THE WORD BECAME FLESH. Having established the connection between faith and being “born again” (John 1:12-13), the Apostle John now explains how that has been made possible. It took nothing less than the incarnation of God Himself (John 1:1). We can ...read more

     | 9,534 views

    Scripture proofs for the superiority of Jesus.

    A NAME MORE EXCELLENT. Hebrews 1:1-14. The high Christology of Hebrews 1 bears comparison with that of John 1:1-14. We are first reminded of the many and various ways that God spoke through the prophets in times past (Hebrews 1:1). Then we are informed that the final word of God has now come to ...read more

    Paradigms Of Prayer

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 2, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,274 views

    We pray for the glory of God. We consider that it is He who we have sinned against. We pray in solidarity with those for whom we pray. We don't try to restrict God.

    PARADIGMS OF PRAYER. 1. Solidarity with those for whom we pray (Exodus 32:30-32) Moses presents us with an example of true, thoroughgoing, intercessory prayer. This is Moses’ prayer after the infamous ‘Golden Calf’ incident, when the people had committed idolatry at the foot of Mount Sinai ...read more

     | 5,963 views

    Many in the world today, Christian as well as Non-Christian fall short of understanding Grace and what it really is. “Grace is the unmerited operation of God in the heart of man, imparted through the Holy Ghost”.

    Understand Grace By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Many in the world today, Christian as well as Non-Christian fall short of understanding Grace and what it really is.

    The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus with us, and through us. And to God alone be the glory. Amen.

    THE COMFORTER, AND PERSECUTION. John 15:26-27, John 16:1-4. 1. The Coming of the Comforter. John 15:26-27.

     | 947 views

    A call to sober-minded watchfulness in these last days.

    THE GRACE OF SERVICE. 1 Peter 4:7-11. Peter has already told us the ‘last days’ began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:16-18). Now he tells us that “the end of all things is at hand” (1 PETER 4:7a). Although he wrote those words nearly two millennia ago, that sense of imminence remains. The question is: ...read more

    "I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice" (John 16:22).

    SORROW WILL TURN TO JOY. John 16:16-22. JOHN 16:16a. The sense of John 16:16 seems to be “A little while and ye do not behold Me…” This refers to the fact that within hours Jesus would be arrested, tried, crucified, and buried. JOHN 16:16b. “again a little while, and ye shall see me” brings us ...read more

    He who has begun a good work in you will continue working at it, and will be bringing it to completion until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6).

    GROWING TOWARDS THE DAY. Philippians 1:3-11. Paul had fond memories of the church which he had planted in Philippi, and each time they came to mind he thanked God for them (Philippians 1:3). The Apostle’s prayers for them were persistent - “always… every… all” - yet ever joyful (Philippians ...read more

    Staking a claim in the land of Canaan.

    THE CALL OF ABRAHAM. Genesis 12:1-9. Our history begins in Ur of the Chaldees, in what is now Southern Iraq, a predominantly pagan city of about 250,000 people, with a central temple to the moon god Sin.
