The shining light (Acts 8:4–25)
The light is shining, breaking through barriers. Philip arrives in Samaria. He has there a mighty ministry, marked by miracles, and many heed him and are baptised. Among them we see a marvellous profession, that of Simon the sorcerer. When the apostles arrive, they validate the work, laying on hands so that the precious gift of the Spirit comes upon the converts in a distinct way. When Simon sees this he makes a wicked demand, to which Peter responds with a plain rebuke, for Simon's heart is not right. Simon's ambivalent response makes us feel the weight of the moment, but none of this can stop the spreading word, as the gospel continues to spread through Samaria.

True masculinity #1 (1 Kings 2:2; 1 Corinthians 16:13)
มุมมอง 3512 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
As we continue to look at life under God, we need to make sure that we embrace biblical conceptions of basic categories and identities. That means we need to understand true, scriptural masculinity, the distinctive manliness of the man of God. We must assess the wrong questions that are asked, consider the ugly truth we need to face, remember the perfect example God has given, embrace the helpf...
Lessons to learn (Acts 1-8)

In the opening chapters of Acts the infant church faces a number of assaults which Satan intends to bring down the kingdom of God. In each case, in God's mercy, the church is guided and directed in a right response, keeping the new covenant community faithful, pure, united, and focused. Persecution is addressed by prayerful faithfulness, corruption by principled faithfulness, division by practi...
The bounds of life (Psalm 139:13-16)
มุมมอง 29วันที่ผ่านมา
As we return to our study of life under God, we are reminded of our need to grasp the dignity and value of life made in God's image. In a society that craves life for some but seems to little regard for the life of others, the Christian understands that God is sovereign over the beginning, course, and ending of the life of each of his creatures, as well as exercising a distinctive care over his...
Heaven’s favour (Psalm 106:4-5)
มุมมอง 2314 วันที่ผ่านมา
This prayer is both individual and congregational, neglecting neither the one nor the many. It begins with a profound conception of one heart of love, God's particular favour toward his chosen ones. It rises into two pleas of need, the desires for God to remember me, to visit me, to show his favour toward me. It expands into three desires for grace, the fruits of God's favour: sharing in the pr...

We have seen the root of the new life, union with Jesus Christ, dying to sin and being made alive to God.

Now we consider the pursuit of the new life, for this life is for living, more merely for pondering and discussing. Every sinn...
Scattered (Acts 8:1-4)

There are times when everything seems to be going wrong. It may seem to be that way at the beginning of Acts 8: a time of great persecution, of great scattering, of great lamentation, and great havoc. And yet, in God's wisdom, here is also a great spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The plea (Psalm 109:26)

How do we respond when we are weak and our foes are strong? This psalm, full of distress and comfort, offers a plea wide in range and rich in blessing. The plea is made simply, suitably and sufficiently. The plea is directed to a faithful God. The plea is measured by nothing less than the mercy, the covenant love, of the God of heaven. The plea should be improved, by our learning from it, prayi...

Abraham’s boast (Romans 4:1-3)

How can someone be right in the sight of God? When answering that question in the letter to the Romans, Paul draws attention to Abraham. "What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? 'Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him fo...

Stephen has preached his last sermon. This one provokes not repentance but unbridled rage. A thread of violent hatred runs through the narrative, against the backdrop of which we see Stephen's glorious vision, clear testimony, gracious spirit, and peaceful death. In the background stands another young man, Saul of Tarsus, upon whom Stephen's witness will have a profound testimony.

He identifies a sacrifice most precious, for this salvation is accomplish...

As Stephen reaches the conclusion of his seminal sermon, he completes his survey of Israel's history and then brings it powerfully into the present.

    when was luke 24:46 written in the OT?

    • @maidenbowerchurch
      @maidenbowerchurch 8 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.
