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

    THE WORD GOES FORTH. Isaiah 55:10-13. I was in India, alone in my room, with the door shut. I read Isaiah 55:10-11. There God was saying, “My Word shall not return to me void, but shall accomplish that which I please, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” What an encouragement, I ...read more

    No longer a slave.

    AN OPEN LETTER. PHILEMON 1:1-21. Onesimus was a slave who had escaped from his Christian master, Philemon. Yet in a beautiful irony, having not ‘made it’ alone in the big city, he found himself at last brought under the direct personal influence of “Paul the prisoner” (Philemon 1:1). Many a ...read more

    The LORD is High for evermore. Psalm 92 verse 8.

    THE GREATNESS OF HIS WORKS. Psalm 92:1-15. This Psalm takes up a common Bible theme: the dichotomy between the “righteous” (Psalm 92:12) and the “wicked” (Psalm 92:7). However, first and foremost, taken as a whole, it is about the LORD. The LORD is mentioned seven times in this ‘Psalm or ...read more

    Our rest based in the finished work of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Let us hold fast our profession and come boldly to the throne of grace.

    ENTERING REST AND FINDING GRACE. Hebrews 4:1-16. “Let us therefore fear” links this passage with the previous chapter. It has to do with the promise of “entering into His rest”, “lest any of you should seem to come short of it” (Hebrews 4:1). The promise of entering the promised land was ...read more

  • "All In A Day’s Work”

    Contributed by David Roth on Oct 5, 2020
     | 4,879 views

    In a parable of vineyard workers, Christ shows that all who receive from Him, and all that is received from Him, is totally gift. It is not earned. As Christians we rejoice and are thankful that we are in His vineyard, and that His continues to call others to His vineyard to labor with us.

    Matthew 20:1-16 J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “All in a day’s work” There was a cobbler who lived in a small town. He was good at making shoes, and made them for all the ...read more

     | 4,507 views

    He is our eternal Advocate, always available, always approachable.

    A HYMN TO OUR HIGH PRIEST. Hebrews 7:23-28. Jesus’ priesthood is proclaimed to be of a better order than that of Aaron (Hebrews 7:11) because of His similitude to Melchisedec (Hebrews 7:14-15). It is not genealogy which qualifies our great High Priest, but the power of an indissoluble life ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,902 views

    Worldly wisdom versus the 'wisdom from on high.'

    CHRISTIAN WISDOM. James 3:13-4:3; James 4:7-8. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God” (James 1:5) James has used an illustration of two sources in his discussion of the divisiveness of the tongue (James 3:10-12). Now he wants to get to the heart of the matter. It is not, after all, ...read more

  • A View From The House Of The Potter

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 7, 2016
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,203 views

    The surprise here is that the intention of God can be resisted, and if (we) turn He speaks of changing His mind.

    A VIEW FROM THE POTTER'S HOUSE. Jeremiah 18:1-11. On one occasion I was taken to a pottery museum, where one could purchase wares and also see them being made. I had made one or two small pottery items while at school (one of which remained on my mother’s back doorstep long after I had left ...read more

    An unjust judge, an importunate widow - and the patience of God.

    AN EXHORTATION TO IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Luke 18:1-8. The Pharisees demanded of Jesus when the kingdom of God should come. Jesus’ unexpected response was that it is here already (Luke 17:20-21)!

    Abraham chose to believe God rather than his own doubts and fears.

    THE LORD OUR SHIELD. Genesis 15:1-6. After the battle of the kings, Abram no doubt would have had a rush of emotion. First of all, perhaps, elation: look what God has enabled me to do with a small household army (Genesis 14:14-16). Secondly, a sudden realisation: I’ve just picked a fight with ...read more

    A GARLAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. 2 Timothy 4:6-8; 2 Timothy 4:16-18. Against a background of false teachers, and hypocritical hearers who will not endure sound teaching, Paul exhorted Timothy to urgently preach the word (2 Timothy 4:2). The young minister was to do this both when it seemed ...read more

    The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

    HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1. There is a subtle difference between a good idea and God’s will (2 Samuel 7:1-4); 2. God’s presence cannot be contained in a ...read more
