     | 3,321 views

    We at times seem like a boat tossing about on the waves of uncertainty and doubt...

    THE LORD WALKING ON WATER. John 6:16-21. The sea can be such a frightening, unpredictable element that even hardened sailors find themselves overwhelmed at times. If we enter the darkness without our Lord Jesus, this magnifies our terror. Yet when He draws near this also, inexplicably, gives ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,137 views

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,663 views

    THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS. Romans 3:9-26. I. The Universality of Sin. Every one of us thinks that we are better than criminals. We imagine that we are moral human beings.

     | 8,191 views

    The outworking of the good life.

    THE LORD’S RELATIONSHIP TO THE RIGHTEOUS. Psalm 34:15-22. Jesus adopts the general principle, “the measure you give will be the measure you get” (Mark 4:24).

    The Cross-shaped love of Christ.

    KNOWING THE UNKNOWABLE. Ephesians 3:14-21. The “For this reason” of Ephesians 3:14 echoes Ephesians 3:1, and picks up the thread of thought that was left there.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,369 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.
