     | 9,077 views

    A remnant saved - out of the midst of a scheming people and their leaders.

    1. DREAMING UP SCHEMES. Micah 2:1-11. The specific sins which will bring judgment upon Jerusalem are now outlined. It resonates even today with those who are familiar with the ways of commercial cities. There is the coveting of fields, and their seizure, separating a man from God's ...read more

    More mission insights from the little Commission.

    AS SHEEP AMONG WOLVES. Matthew 10:9-23. Jesus was very specific in His first instructions to the twelve Apostles, that they ‘Go not into the way of the Gentiles’, nor enter any city of the Samaritans, but seek out none other than ‘the lost sheep of the house of Israel’ (cf. Matthew 10:5-6). ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,114 views

    Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

    O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf. Psalm 1:1-2). A similar dichotomy is ...read more

    All power is ours in Christ Jesus!

    TAPPING INTO THE POWER. Colossians 1:11-20. The Apostle Paul has been speaking of his ceaseless prayer on behalf of the Colossians: that they might be ‘filled with the Knowledge of His will’ and ‘increasing in the Knowledge of God’ (Colossians 1:9-10). The fact of the matter is, that ‘all ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,073 views

    “To prepare the way of the Lord,” what does that mean? Is John calling the people to do some road work? Is John saying that we need to go out and get hired on with road crew?

    Introduction In Matthew 3:3, the great prophet Isaiah says John the Baptist will call the people to prepare the way of the Lord, to make His path straight. “To prepare the way of the Lord,” what does that mean? Is John calling the people to do some road work? Is John saying that we need to go out ...read more

  • A Context For The Hymn

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 3, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,238 views

    The obedience of Christ elicits, draws out, the obedience of Christians.

    A CONTEXT FOR THE HYMN. Philippians 2:1-13. The word “If” that opens this passage might better be translated as “Since” (Philippians 2:1). The sense is, “If there is any encouragement in Christ (and there is), if any consolation in love (and there is), if any fellowship (sharing) in the Spirit ...read more

  • Two Kinds Of Servitude

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 20, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,621 views

    Two ways of life. Two very different masters. Two pathways: one leading to death, and one leading to life. Two very different paydays.

    TWO KINDS OF SERVITUDE. Romans 6:12-23. What we are, and whose we are, shapes what we do with what we've got. Negatively, the Apostle Paul encourages us to resist any attempt that sin makes to usurp authority in our physical lives (Romans 6:12). Even for Christians, the body and its ...read more

    The LORD will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering.

    THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Abridged. Genesis 22:1-14. Sometimes in our Christian lives we are challenged to surrender to God that which we hold most dear, that upon which we set our hopes, even that which God has given to us as a gift. God promised Abraham a son, but the patriarch’s wife ...read more

  • How Long?

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,447 views

    A flow from pain through prayer to praise.

    HOW LONG? Psalm 13:1-6. This is a lament, a Psalm of complaint. This is evident from the outset, with the fourfold cry of pain, “How long?” (Psalm 13:1-2). The complaint is addressed first to the LORD (Psalm 13:1), but then seems to descend into something resembling self-pity (Psalm ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,625 views

    Jacob the trickster duped by his uncle. The love of Jacob for Rachel perseveres and prevails. God at work behind the scenes.

    A LESSON IN PATIENCE. Genesis 29:15-28. Jacob had been on the run from his twin brother Esau. Jacob, being the younger twin, had duped his elder sibling of both his inheritance and his blessing. Esau’s understandable anger was beginning to look dangerous, so their mother Rebekah devised a ...read more

    A Solemn Charge to the Man of God.

    PREACH THE WORD. 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Paul has just given Timothy the assurance that “ALL Scripture is out-breathed by God and is profitable… that the man of God may be” complete, fully equipped for whatever work God has for us (2 Timothy 3:16-17). “I charge you therefore before God,” ...read more

    Welcoming Jesus back into our lives.

    THE WATER WALKING JESUS. John 6:15-21. JOHN 6:15. Jesus knows what is in the heart of man, and literally “knowing” that they “are about to come” and seize Him, that they may make Him a king, He “withdrew Himself again to the mountain Himself alone.” The picture seems to be of an enthusiastic ...read more

    "He sent a man before them." Psalm 105.17.

    FROM PRISON TO PREMIERSHIP. Psalm 105:16-22. PSALM 105:16. It is the LORD our God who “called for a famine upon the land: He brake the whole staff of bread.” Bread, or any staple, is aptly called ‘the staff of life’ – for without his staff man must surely fall. But such things are in the hands ...read more

    "The gifts and calling of God are without repentance." Romans 11:29.

    THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD. Romans 11:1-2a, Romans 11:29-32. What is causing Paul so much stress and distress is that Israel ‘have not all obeyed the gospel’ (cf. Romans 10:16). As we enter our present chapter, Paul is asking: Does this then mean that God has “cast away His people” (Romans ...read more

    The unfailing compassion of Jesus.

    A GREAT MULTITUDE FED. Matthew 14:13-21. MATTHEW 14:13.
