    A downward spiral with inevitable consequences.

    DAVID LETS HIS GUARD DOWN. 2 Samuel 11:1-15. “At the time when kings go forth” (to battle), “David tarried still at Jerusalem.” (2 SAMUEL 11:1).

    'For the hardness of your heart he wrote this precept' (Mark 10:5).

    A NAUGHTY QUESTION. Mark 10:2-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was worse than mischievous in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MARK 10:2). I assert this on two ...read more

    Pleading the blood of Jesus.

    AN ANSWER TO THE ACCUSER. Psalm 26. One of the names for the devil is, ‘the accuser of the brethren’ (Revelation 12:10).

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,947 views

    The Christian faith, after all, is deeply personal. When we abide in Christ, we rest in God.

    OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

    A metaphor from God's dealings in Creation to describe God's dealings with His Word.

    THE WORD GOES FORTH. Isaiah 55:10-13. Isaiah 55:10-11 is about God’s words not returning to Him void. At first, we might imagine that God is talking about the weather, with all this talk of rain and snow. And what if there is no rain, nor any melting snows from the mountains of Lebanon? Famine! ...read more

  • The Proper Attitude In Prayer Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 5, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,285 views

    Prayer is something we are all familiar with, but I wonder if we are familiar enough with prayer? Is it possible that we have become too familiar with prayer? I believe there are instances in our lives where both are true.

    The Proper Attitude in Prayer Matthew 6: 5-8 We have come to the portion of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus begins to address prayer. The act of praying is literally imploring God to move on our behalf. It is described as words of worship or entreaty that are offered to the Lord. Prayer is ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,533 views

    Christians need to be constantly recalled to their first love, and churches to the rudiments (first principles) of the faith of a better generation.

    RENEWING OUR COVENANT WITH THE LORD. Joshua 24:1-3; Joshua 24:14-25. The choice of Shechem as the site for the renewal of the covenant after the conquests under Joshua is significant. This was where the LORD had promised Abram both ‘this land’ and ‘a seed’ to occupy it, and Abram had ‘built ...read more

    Welcoming Jesus back into our lives.

    THE WATER WALKING JESUS. John 6:15-21. JOHN 6:15.
