Urgency in the walk

Teresa shares from her experience of the need for urgency.

A Light Shining in a Dark Place

The Lord Jesus was described by John as "a light shining in the darkness".  Peter uses the phrase for something else.

A simple life

Life can be very complicated, but there is a simplicity to our walk with God.

Just what was the difference between Saul and David?

Be holy

Peter's first letter has encouragement and clear instruction for the believers.

He gives more grace

The letter from James gives us some straight advice about getting our life in order, but it arises from the great grace of God.

They are not of the world

How could a small group of ordinary men be so described?

Brought forth by His own will

Are we secure in God's love?  Are we missing out when we follow Him?

The better sacrifice

The author f Hebrews tells us of the best sacrifice we can bring to God.

Not by power...

Zechariah saw a strange vision that he didn't understand.  The angel showed him, and we find encouragement in his explanation.

How much is too much?  The Book of Judges tells us of God's heart towards Israel.

Sarah’s faith

We remember Abraham's faith.  What about Sarah's?

In everything give thanks

Paul encourages the believers in Thessalonica to live lives very different from what is the norm.

Abel’s blood

Abel shed the blood of a lamb, and then his own blood was shed. 

Obedience

Obedience is fundamental to our walk with God.  But there are different types of obedience.

Proclaiming His death

When we partake of the Lord's Supper, we are proclaiming His death - a shameful and horrible death, but what a message to a lost world!

The Mystery of Christ

Who could have imagined what the Messiah would be?  In His incarnation we see something of our own life experience.

Godliness with contentment

Paul's simple statement, "Godliness with contentment is great gain?" deserves our attention.

The Anointing at Bethany

Mary saw the Lord Jesus differently from others, even His disciples, and what she did is never to be forgotten.

Warnings and Encouragement

All through the Scripture the people of God are warned, but equally, they are also encouraged.
