Genesis 34 — How do we as Christians respond to the #MeToo movement that is exposing sexual harassment and assault in many parts of society? If anything, it should cause us to turn the spotlight on ourselves. We ought to examine our behaviour, what we’re teaching our children and what we’re modelling in front of them.…
I Timothy 1:8-11 — “But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully…” What is the Christian’s relationship to the Old Testament Law? What is the proper use of the Law in our proclamation of the Gospel? What role does it play in our growth and progress in the Christian life?…
Exodus 12:33-42 — “And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years… that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.” As we look at the events that took place on the day that Israel left Egypt, we are presented with a scene that magnifies…
Luke 9:37-43a – “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you?…” When we read the Bible, sometimes we come across situations that make us very uncomfortable and that are almost impossible to explain. We have an example in this text from the Gospel of Luke. It records Jesus’ interaction…
Hebrews 2:10 — “For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” If we’re going to understand the nature of sanctification we need to begin with the nature of God, which is what the…
Genesis 18-19, II Peter 2:6-8 — “For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day…” Lot was not indifferent to the wickedness of Sodom. He was troubled by it every day, and yet when the LORD visited the city, he could not find 10 righteous people.…
Luke 9:28-36 — “Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.” In this sermon we think about Peter’s immediate response to what he was witnessing on the mountain with Jesus. We see what…
I Timothy 1:6-7 — “From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling…” This was Paul’s blunt assessment of what certain leaders in the church at Ephesus had done. They’d turned away from sounds words and chosen empty words. Why did they do this? And what was really happening when they stood up…
Daniel 1-3 — Daniel and his three friends found themselves in a situation that increasingly resembles the one we’re facing today as evangelical Christians. The prevailing culture is becoming more anti-Christian and there is growing pressure to compromise. This is exactly what Daniel and his three friends did not do! In the face of great…
II Chronicles 34 — Manasseh was the worst king that Judah ever had. His evil deeds exceeded even those of the Canaanite nations whom the Lord destroyed! So it’s quite remarkable that when his grandson Josiah came to the throne at just eight years of age “he did that which was right in the sight…
