1 Samuel 16:1-7 Of all the many things that God can do that we humans cannot, the one that I have been pondering this week in preparing for this sermon is the omniscience of God! Man is limited in his knowledge, he has present knowledge and past knowledge based on what he can and has observed and experienced around Him. Much of this knowledge I dare say, he’s gleaned from other men. God on the other hand has limitless knowledge — He knows all things past, present and future. No one has ever had ...

Hebrews 5:12 The clear command and expectation for us as believers, is that having been saved, we ought to grow up unto a place of Christian maturity! What does Christian maturity look like? In part, it looks like maturity in our understanding of doctrine! This is no small matter. Paul rebuked the Hebrew believers because he had truths to impart to them concerning the person of Christ that they were not able to receive due to their immaturity!! One cannot blame a child for not being able to unde...

1 Peter 5:7 In Peter’s first epistle, he writes; “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you”. One might ask the question, how do I throw my care upon the Lord? Of course, the language here is metaphorical! Peter doesn’t mean that we are to physically do this, that would be an impossibility. His language is figurative. We are to cast our care/burdens upon Him by committing them into His care by faith. We are to TRUST Him with our fears and anxieties, and when we do that, we don’t have...

Psalm 94:17-18 Hear the Word of God to your heart and take comfort O ye saints of His! Maybe you’ve never been to rock bottom avenue, but when you get there and every crutch of support has been taken away such that you’re left with only one option, to cast yourself upon the mercy of God and to make Him your support; then, you’ll be able to say as the Psalmist said; “Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up...

John 12:20-26 Many will gladly come to receive of the benefits of Christ’s redeeming sacrifice so long as it doesn’t require any sacrifice on their part. They’ll gladly own Him as their Saviour but deny Him the right to be Lord. As I understand the language of the New Testament, the full name of our Saviour is not Jesus Christ — there’s a inseparable title that’s missing! Do you know what it is? Mr. Jesus Christ? Sir Jesus Christ? “LORD” Jesus Christ!! “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth ...

Of all the chapters in the NT, Romans 6-8a, are amongst the most misunderstood. Yet, when properly understood, these same three chapters become some of the most liberating in all the Word of God! For so many professing Christians, Romans chapter 7 offers a supporting crutch for them to continue living in sin — after all, didn’t Paul struggle in the battle against sin, failing miserably every time? “For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do” (Rom. 7:19). If tha...

The doctrine of justification by faith (the imputed righteousness of Christ) is the cardinal pillar upon which Christianity stands. Take this pillar away, and the whole faith comes crashing down in ruin. Positionally, we stand righteousness before a holy God, not on the basis of our works (plural), but because of HIS work (singular), and our faith in that finished work, and in His son the Lord Jesus Christ whom He raised form the dead! Now for many Christians, this is where it begins and ends. A...

Isaiah 31:1 If I was to ask you this morning to tell me where the strength of the Church lies at this critical juncture in history, I wonder what you’d say? Ah, I know what you’d like to say, you’d like to say the strength of the Church lies in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! However, if the Evangelical Church in Britain was to answer this question by her actions alone, I fear that it would contradict this answer entirely. They tell me, actions speak louder than words and I’m inclined to be...

Psalm 78:23-32 I’ve had the joy over the years of tasting a number of delicious world cuisines. Greek and Italian, Chinese and Cantonese, Indian and Himalayan, Jamaican and of course English — the flavours and the tastes are enough to make your mouth water! Yet of all the dishes I’ve ever had the privilege of eating, there’s one dish that to date I’ve yet to try, and that’s angels’ food. You say what!? Angels’ food!

1 Kings 13:1-10 As one peruses the pages of the New Testament, there stands on record a clear and visible warning to believers against the dangers of deception. When asked by His disciples, “...what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world” (Mt. 24:3); before ever our Lord made mention of wars and rumours of wars, before ever He spoke of famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places, He first gave warning against the dangers of deception. In a day of great spiritual ...

Ephesians 4:31-32 Relationships matter! How I treat my fellow man has direct bearing upon my personal relationship with God. The two are not mutually exclusive. It’s not just me, God and forget everyone else. Yet surprisingly, this is often how many Christians think. Husbands can verbally abuse their wives and then turn up to the throne of grace like nothing ever happened. Brethren, it doesn’t work like that, how I treat my wife is directly related to how God treats me. Have you not read? “Likew...

1 Kings 17:1-5 Suddenly, without announcement or herald, one of the greatest prophets to ever have been born entered into the national arena like a thunder bolt! No record is supplied us of his birth and as to his departure from this world, he was taken up into heaven while still alive! Like Melchisedec coming before him, he was “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life” (Heb. 7:3).

James 2:14-26 Two farmers got down on their knees to pray. One lived on the east of the village and the other on the west. The farmer living in the east of the village longed so much for it to rain — it hadn’t rained for months! The crops were perishing and the livestock was famished. He prayed, “O God, I believe with all my heart that you are going to send rain on Monday!!” News travelled fast of this farmer’s praying efforts and it reached the ears of the farmer living on the other side of the...

Psalm 46:1-3 They tell me, that Christianity is for weaklings; men with no courage or backbone. “Christianity is for those who need a crutch, but as for me and my house, we’ll stand in our own strength!” There are two things that I want to address in the comments I just made. On both counts, you find the remarks to be erroneous — flawed on every hand. In addressing the first point, “Christianity is for weaklings; men with no courage nor backbone”.

Well, I’m no climate expert, but I do know from observation; that in summer, the sun comes out and temperatures are at their hottest; the birds are singing and trees are bearing fruit. The days are long and the nights are warm!! Then comes the cooler chill of autumn’s dawn. Gradually ...

At midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

2 Chronicles 7:13-14 My dear people, there is a price to be paid for revival — it’s a painful affair! Duncan Campbell put it this way; “If you want revival, get right with God. If you are not prepared to bring the "last piece," for God's sake stop talking about revival, your talking and praying is but the laughing-stock of devils. It is about time we got into the grips of reality”. The Welsh revival of 1904-05 began with a young man seeking the face of God by the name of Evan Roberts. For over a...

Before the sound of the mighty rushing wind, the prayers of God’s people were heard! “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Acts 2:37-38 Before every divine visitation, God begins to awaken the consciences of His people first to the possibility of revival, and secondly to the need for revival. How can a thirst for revival begin in the hearts of God’s people unless there is a conviction that such a work of God is even for today? Perhaps the greatest hindrance to God sending revival amongst the so-called remnant Church in this land is the sin of unbelief. Simply put, we do not believe that such a work of revival is pos...

Once it stood as a blazing lighthouse, warning the wicked of their pending danger, guiding them into the Gospel harbour of saving grace. But now? Now it has made the wo...
