The Power Of The Lord Jesus

The power of the Lord Jesus is seen in His miracles. It is the power of His love. His power is seen in His resurrection. This power is the power of life. Life triumphs over death. When we seek power for ourselves, we do not glorify the Lord. There is power in humility. We recognize …

God and the gods

“The Lord is the only God. He is the living God and eternal King” (Jeremiah 10:10). The contrast between God and the gods is simple. God made us. We made the gods. In the Lord our God, there is majesty and mystery - the majesty of the “eternal King”, the mystery that He is always …

It is your Father’s pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Luke 12:1-34 ‘Do not fear...’(4): ‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’(Romans 8:31). Acknowledge Christ or deny Him (8-9): Let your choice be clear - ‘Christ means everything to me’(Philippians 1:21).

The prophets spoke the Word of the Lord. Jesus is the Word of the Lord.

“The prophetic formula “the Word of the Lord came unto me” is replaced on Jesus’ lips by “But I say unto you.” Jesus of Nazareth is not simply the bearer of an inner divine authority, but is himself the Word enfleshed, the Word become flesh (John 1:14).”Carl Henry

Feeding on the Lord

God allows His people to suffer difficulties. Why? - To strengthen our faith (Exodus 15:25; Exodus 16:4; Deuteronomy 8:2,16; 1 Peter 1:6-7). He chastens us, to teach us repentance (Revelation 3:19).

‘Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways.’

‘Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in His ways’ (Psalm 128:1). If, Lord, we are to enjoy Your blessing, we must fear You and walk in Your ways. Many people despise the place of worship. They ‘pass by’. They have no desire to know ‘the blessing of the Lord’. Lord, You’re warning …

It means that the word, 'awesome', has been devalued. When, however, we say, "Our God is an awesome God", we're using the word, 'awesome', correctly. …

Can the dark picture of sin and guilt be turned into the brighter picture of salvation and rejoicing?

‘They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the Lord’s majesty. Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord, exalt the Name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One”’ …
