Isaiah 30: 27-33….Can we describe God’s nature in just one word?
Introduction: Isaiah could have helped me more by placing dates or some clear markers as to whom various prophecies are made. He could have even helped a lot by telling us as to what time he was prophesying about – the immediate, at the time of the Messiah, or when the Messiah (Jesus) returns! AndContinue reading “Isaiah 30: 27-33….Can we describe God’s nature in just one word?”
Isaiah 30: 19-26….A Planned Future.
Often real education begins after you have finished your study for your desired degree. Experience versus theory needs to be weighed up. Politicians like degrees. Life requires experience! I know paper qualified doctors whom I would avoid!

Insisting on doing it your way is frequently a recipe for disaster!
Isaiah 30: 1-11….When will you learn?
Introduction: We are back in Isaiah again! Just over 2 weeks ago we read how God had driven out the oppressors and released Israel back to where it should be – a nation under God called to be His special people doing His will and walking in His way!

1 John 3: 11-18….Love exampled and Ignored!
For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother.

1 John 3: 1-10….Is John making it too simple?
1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yetContinue reading “1 John 3: 1-10….Is John making it too simple?”
1 John 2: 23-29….Have you stopped beating your wife?
Introduction: The above question is impossible to answer with just a ‘yes’ or ‘no’! A ‘yes’ means that you were beating her, and a ‘no’ without further explanation means that you are still beating, whereas you haven’t stopped that practice! This passage is quick to read but has much ‘hidden’ in it! All the following,Continue reading “1 John 2: 23-29….Have you stopped beating your wife?”
1 John 2: 15-22….Who should we follow?
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from theContinue reading “1 John 2: 15-22….Who should we follow?”
1 John 2: 7-14….Are your neighbours difficult?
7 Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard. At the same time, it is a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darknessContinue reading “1 John 2: 7-14….Are your neighbours difficult?”
