    Looking beyond our failures, and stepping into the blessings.

    GOOD BEGINNINGS, MIDWAY FAILURES, FINAL TRIUMPHS. Hebrews 11:8-16. Sometimes when we look at our Christian walk and life all we can see are our failures.

    We cannot change the past: but in Christ, God restores to us what would have been had we not allowed sin an entrance (Joel 2:25).

    AN OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF JOEL. Joel 1-3. The name Joel means ‘Yahweh is God’ or perhaps ‘Whose God is the LORD’. There is no doubt that Joel's God is the LORD: not only on account of his given name, but also because of his courage in confronting Israel and the nations with a far-reaching ...read more

    True prayer is based in the covenant and promises of God, which He has given us in Christ Jesus.

    A RESTING PLACE FOR THE ARK OF GOD. Psalm 132. King David, ‘the man after God’s own heart’ (Acts 13:22), wanted to bring the ark-of-the-covenant up to Jerusalem. ‘We consulted it not in the days of Saul,’ he reasonably reasoned (1 Chronicles 13:3). However, even our best intentions fall short ...read more

    Faith sees beyond the perplexities and difficulties of the present situation.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Genesis 22:1-19.

God promised Abraham a son, but the patriarch’s wife Sarah was barren. So ...read more

    A CALL TO PRACTICAL HOLINESS. Leviticus 19:1-2; Leviticus 19:9-18.

He left his ninety-nine other sheep in order to seek the one that was lost, until he had found it. This is an image which is familiar from both the Old Testament and the New Testament: ...read more
