2 Corinthians 8:9. There is nothing in fallen man that could merit anything from God, atone for our sins or contribute to our salvation. We owed a debt we could never pay. Ah, but the gospel rings clear and loud, as He became poor that we might become rich. Now we have all the blessings […]

Mark 10:17-22. In this profound encounter with Jesus, a rich young ruler asked Jesus how to gain eternal life, but when asked to sell all and follow Him, he walked away. Jesus warns that wealth can be a barrier to God. What might a person hold onto that might keep them from Christ? 

Luke 19:1-10. In this beautiful salvation story, we see this little, sinful tax collector come to faith in Jesus and find the free gift of salvation. He then demonstrates the fruit of a transformed life, changed through Christ. Perhaps you find yourself in this story also? Amazing grace extended to us all. 

1 Cor 2:1-14. The gospel came to the Corinthians in “the demonstration of the Spirit & power”. We discover (in Acts 18) that this power was demonstrated as Paul preached and people came to faith.

Luke 5:12-39. These 3 encounters with Jesus speak to us regarding our own Christian life and walk. Jesus cleanses the leper, heals the Paralytic & calls the Tax Collector.

Luke 4:14-30. As Jesus began his public ministry He identified himself as the one who would heal the broken hearted, set the captives free and He declared that the time of grace was here.

Neh 9:22-38. In this great chapter, God’s people reflect on their history of God’s abundant mercy towards them. Even though they failed time and time again, He never forsook them but was ready to forgive them and would always work to bring them back to himself. What encouraging commentary this is for us, knowing that […]

Eph 1:6-7. The reality and experience of grace will often leave us with a sense of awe and wonder. However, it’s very possible that the unguarded believer can lose that sense of wonder. We must often be looking to the word and to the Holy Spirit to be quickened, again and again, being renewed and […]

Gal 5:1. We are told that we have been made free, but we must now ensure that we live free and remain free. We must be careful not to take on the false burden and yoke of the law, according to the flesh, but be yoked up with Jesus, learning of him and resting in […]

Gal 5:1-15. Paul teaches that we have been set free to stay free. We are free to live without the obligation of keeping the law & by the power & love of The Holy Spirit, we are free, not to sin, but to serve.
