Hedges and highways (Proverbs 15:19)
Here we see two approaches to life symbolised by a hedge of thorns and a cleared highway. The first is the life of a lazy man, who exaggerates real problems and imagines unreal ones, and so finds his progress barred at every point. In contrast, the second is the upright man, who discerns, delights in, and does what is right, in dependence on the Lord God. The contrast holds true in the matter of gracious salvation, Christian service, and sanctified success in the things of this world.

The Saviour’s grief (Matthew 23:37-39; Luke 13:34-35)
มุมมอง 84 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
With sadness and tenderness, our Saviour mourns over rebellious Jerusalem, revealing the spirit in which he considers needy sinners still. So here we can trace the sin committed, rejecting God's messengers and message of mercy. We see the danger present, the wrath hovering over the rebels. We marvel at the protection offered, the wings of Christ over those otherwise exposed to judgment. Then we...
Holding hope (Hebrews 10:23)
มุมมอง 2021 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
In the light of God's covenant mercies in Christ, we must heed the exhortation to hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, because God who has promised is faithful. We need to understand what it is to which we hold, this confession of hope. We need to understand that we must hold it without wavering, without indulging or entertaining doubts. And, we must hold it accounting God fai...
God supreme (Psalm 86:8)
มุมมอง 19วันที่ผ่านมา
In the day of trouble, as a poor and needy man, the psalmist looks in confidence to a God who is supreme in his being and supreme in his acting. He is not like the false gods to which men bow down, and his acts in creation, providence, and grace reflect his greatness and glory. In responding, we should recognise the Lord's supremacy, expect his triumph, adore his majesty, and seek his favour.
Raised up (John 6:40)

Are you ready for the last day? Of all 'last days', this alone is the truly final and universal. Our confidence for that day is grounded in the salvation accomplished and applied by the triune God, so here we trace the will of the Father in sending the Son, the word of promise of the Son with regard to his Father's will to bless, and the work of kindness from the Holy Spirit in applying these t...
Out of darkness (John 12:46)
มุมมอง 4628 วันที่ผ่านมา
Darkness is damaging, and it is the natural state of every person born into the world. Christ has come as a light into the world in order that sinners might not remain in darkness. To understand this, we need to consider first of all the oppressive spiritual darkness in which sinners live, then the light which is shining in Christ Jesus as a Saviour for sinners, and the generous offer which is ...
A call to faith (Isaiah 27:5)
มุมมอง 88หลายเดือนก่อน
The Lord God is not a God in whom unholy fury dwells. His offers of mercy, even to those who have made themselves his enemies, are wonderful. So here, in Isaiah 27, where he speaks to those who face his righteous judgments, and holds out to them a refuge instead. So, first, the power offered is that of God himself, the strength of the Lord as a place of security and certainty. The purpose behin...
A question of love (John 21:15-17)

"Do you love me?" was our Lord's persistent question to Peter, and it is a question we do well to answer ourselves, for it is simple and searching. In this sermon we consider eight reasons why it is an important question.
A design for life (Genesis 1:26-28)
มุมมอง 44หลายเดือนก่อน
To establish our convictions, form our decisions, and direct our actions, we need to understand the will of the Lord from the Scriptures, as new creatures under the Spirit's influence. We must grasp how the Lord formed us in creation, what took place at the fall, and how God in mercy saved us from our sins. For that, we must start where Christ and the apostles started, with creation, as men and...
Follow my Leader (John 13:13-15)
มุมมอง 14หลายเดือนก่อน
"Follow my Leader" is no mere game for a Christian. Having washed his disciples' feet, the Lord Jesus gently interrogates and instructs them. First of all, there is a relationship recognised and endorsed, that of Teacher and Lord. Then, there is an example displayed and established, that of washing the feet of the disciples. Finally, there is an intention explained and emphasised, that the disc...
A rule for life (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

What is our map for walking through this world? By what authority shall we believe and live? How shall we be guided in our roles and relationships as men and in women in God's world? There are various flawed foundations upon which people build, including rationalism, emotionalism, traditionalism, pragmatism, and fatalism. But there is only one sure guide, one sure foundation, and that is the Wo...
Brought back (Jeremiah 31:18)
มุมมอง 332 หลายเดือนก่อน
In a chapter loaded with divine mercies, there rises a cry from those who have, under God's chastisement, realised their sin. Here we find the need, of being turned to God, brought back to him. The cry is to God, that he would do just that. The grace is that God hears and brings back those who cry to him. The hope lies in the fact that it is the Lord our God who so acts.
Salvation beyond description (Hebrews 2:3)
มุมมอง 282 หลายเดือนก่อน
The so-great salvation accomplished by Christ defeats description and delineation. We can speak accurately, but never plumb the depths or scale the heights of divine mercy in redemption. Our failure does not stop our effort, for to contemplate our salvation brings joy and peace. To neglect this salvation is to sink into damnation, for there is no other way by which we can be delivered.
Praying together #2 Engaging in prayer (1 Corinthians 14:16; Acts 4:24)

What happens when people pray together? What are we supposed to be doing? To answer this question, we briefly consider some of the dynamics of corporate prayer. In the first sermons, we offered several practical counsels to those who lead in public prayer, and in this sermon to those who engage in public prayer as another leads.
Growing pains and provisions (Acts 6:1-7)

As the church grows, so the demands increase. Satan strikes again: persecution has come, corruption has erupted, and now tension and division advance. A battle breaks out over compassion! The apostles' response, taking account of their proper priorities, is to lead the disciples through the identification and appointment of godly men who will take responsibility for genuinely good things while ...

    when was luke 24:46 written in the OT?

    • @maidenbowerchurch
      @maidenbowerchurch 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In this case it is less direct quotation and more by way of allusion, not least to other passages already quoted by Luke in connection with these truths. These include: Psalm 118:22; Isaiah 53:12; Psalm 31:5; Psalm 22:7, 18; and, Psalm 69:21. To these could be added other references that Luke makes to the Old Testament in the book of the Acts, including Psalm 2:1-2, Isaiah 53:7-8, Psalm 16:8-11, and Isaiah 55:3. This is not exclusive list, but shows Luke's awareness of the Old Testament witness to Jesus' death and resurrection, and the preaching of the good news. Other Old Testament passages would testify the same thing. We hope that this is helpful.

    Hello. I’m wondering if you can answer these two questions. Was Jesus referring to unbelievers and believers and also when it says cut in two, is that talking about eternal state in hell? Or earthly punishment? Thank you.

    • @maidenbowerchurch
      @maidenbowerchurch ปีที่แล้ว

      Good questions. The second first: the fact that this is the explanation of a parable helps us to understand that these are illustrative or symbolic, so it is a fearful picture of the punishment which comes when the Judge returns (which means that we must reckon with the fact that the reality is far worse than the symbol which represents it-we are meant to be shocked and grieved by this imagery). This helps us to understand the spiritual state of the people represented in the parable: if someone is allotted a portion with the unbelievers, it shows that this person does not belong with the faithful. Although they may appear to be or claim to be a servant, their disobedience to the Master and abuse of the servants reveal that they do not belong to the kingdom of God. Yet there is differentiation-the more knowledge we have of God's will, the greater our responsibility and culpability if we neglect and disobey that will. Remember that when interpreting a parable we must be careful not to press a complete and absolute parallel for every element of the imagery, but rather look for a main point or thrust. We hope that this is helpful.
