    A plea for grace: Turn us again, O God of hosts.

    ISRAEL AS VINE. Psalm 80:7-15. The Psalmist bemoans the plight of the divided tribes of Israel, and boldly expresses his perplexity at God’s dealings with them.

    Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and He bringeth them out of their distresses. Psalm 107 verse 28.

    THE STORM A CALM. Psalm 107:1-3. Psalm 107:1. This Psalm, from the outset, is a summons to thanksgiving. The LORD is good, and His mercy everlasting.

    Gifts given for the benefit of the Church.

    A MIND FOR SERVICE. Romans 12:3-8.

    Of such is the kingdom of God.

    THE TRUST OF A LITTLE CHILD. Mark 10:13-16. In one of our previous readings, Jesus set a little child in the midst of His disciples (Mark 9:36).

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 25, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,815 views

    All things are possible with God, but those who set their hearts on riches will be sadly disappointed.

    SHARP WORDS SPOKEN BY LOVE. Mark 10:17-31. The first three Gospels all report Jesus’ encounter with the character who has become known by the composite name of ‘the rich young ruler’. They all mention that he was ‘rich’ (as in Mark 10:22), but only Matthew mentions that he was ‘young’ ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,576 views

    Seek God, do justice - before it is too late.

    A BASKET OF RIPE SUMMER FRUIT. Amos 8:1-12. This vision and its interpretation is based in a pun: the Hebrew word for “Summer fruit” sounds almost identical with the word translated “the end” (Amos 8:1-2).

     | 10,320 views

    If God be for us, who can be against us?

    CALLED TO BE CONQUERORS, CONFORMED TO CHRIST. Romans 8:26-39. We are, it seems, surrounded by “infirmities” (Romans 8:26). These may be caused by lack of strength (which is what the word means), emotional weakness (including ‘burnout’), financial hardships, sickness, or sin. Paul also speaks of ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,553 views

    Faced with the desirability of reaching our destination in Christ, are we willing to tarry a while to help others along the way?

    CHOOSING LIFE FOR OTHERS. Philippians 1:21-26. The Apostle Paul had just referred to his ‘earnest expectation and hope’ that Christ should now be ‘magnified’ in Paul’s body ‘whether by life or by death’ (Philippians 1:20). Suddenly, it seems, Paul found himself in a state of perplexity. “For to ...read more
