The Gospel text, the conversion text, the love-drawing text, which is used all over the world in as many languages as there is, as the foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is John 3: 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The Son of God was begotten. But who is the Son of God? He is Jesus, the God-Man. He is the God-Head not made by the Father, but begotten by Him. O

From yesterday’s offering, we were encouraged to read Matthew 1: 1 – 17.  For those of us who were able to read it again, even though it might have been well-known, I am sure that you saw things you may not have seen previously. Perhaps you were given new insights and were made curious to learn more. Whatever were your enlightened experiences, we give God thanks. Today, we shall share facts from the same Bible text that are of profound interest. The first thing that strikes u

In this verse of a Charles Wesley hymn on the Holy Trinity, my mind is totally be-shackled. I mean, I am loose yet bound; lifted yet lowered; silent yet loud; calm yet excited. Who is sufficient for such learning? Keep me safe in Your holding arms please, Lord Father. Amen! Here is the second verse of the hymn, ‘Father, in whom we live’.  Incarnate deity, Let all the ransomed race, Render in thanks their lives to Thee, For Thy redeeming grace. The grace to sinners shown, Ye h

Mindful that we are in the last days of the final week in the month of November 2025, and the final Lord’s Day Sunday therein, before we begin Advent, many different emotions sweep through us. There are emotions of heightened jubilation, as you hear people speaking of the fast approaching Advent or Christmas Season, with pure excitement and child-like expectation. Others are not at all happy with the rapidly closing in Christmas Season, which, to many, marks the end of the ye

Do not be afraid…You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.1 Samuel 12: 20. These are the words of Samuel to God’s penitent children. In a reality check, they’ve been given a rude awakening about their status before God. Little do they know that in asking for a king, they have bitterly offended the Lord. Only now, as the results of this grave error have been made known to them, do they seek God’s pardon. Samuel hea

As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. Matthew 13: 4 & 19 NIV The parable tells of the sower’s seed falling along the path. The path is where you are walking, where your feet are at the moment. What does Jesus say about this path?   It was an Access

I begin this offering by reminding you that so far, in all that we have been saying and noting throughout the week, ever present in our consciousness, is the unarguable fact that the Word of God illuminates. The Word is our wisdom and way. We had even drawn a little likeness to us being as God’s trees, which He lights up from top to bottom, with His words of light. It is in the same vein of thought and understanding that we proceed. Here is a most encouraging and ever enlight

I begin by encouraging you to read this Scripture Passage. Acts 16: 6 – 10. You are looking at how the Holy Spirit is sometimes the One who hinders the good you want to do and blocks it. Often you hear people saying things like this. The devil is a busy man, for he is trying to stop me from doing what is good. Or, Satan is a liar and he is doing everything to discourage me and make me give up doing what I know is a good work . Sometimes, you even go as far as to say that it i

The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. Psalm 50: 1 Three powerfully bright beams of Creator God are given in this verse, as today’s illuminating word. We are being lit up, as it were, as God’s creation. May these beams from Jesus, our all-powerful and all-illuminating Lighthouse, light us up as His vessels, from stern to stem. The three powerful beams which flood you and me with light are, God’s Name,

We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. Acts 13: 32 – 33a As Paul addresses a congregation of Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, note how he has been made a present, promoting and peculiar tree for Jesus. Like a fruit tree, laden with sweet, deliciously ripe and ready to eat fruit, which brings delight to many, so it is with Paul today. What Paul has declared, in the hearing of the people, fills hearts
