Remember whose you are
The perfect church simply doesn’t exist. However faithful the people, however vibrant the worship, however meaningful and powerful the teaching – there will always be areas where any church (defined as a community of believers), still has work to do. That was clearly the case for the church in the Greek city of Corinth. It was a very cosmopolitan place, a centre of trade and learning and a byword for all things cultic and religious...
Making right choices
It isn’t always easy to make the right choice: what you really want to do may not be the most beneficial route for you to pursue. On the other hand, some choices are much easier or rather, at first glance, they appear to offer the best results - especially if some of the options are far more attractive than the alternatives! Daniel and his friends had been put on the leadership fast track for the Babylonian Civil Service...
What really matters
A teenager in school uniform, a very very old gentleman in suit and tie, a clash of cultures? Its just possible that one introduces the other the Lord and just possible that we can all do the same...
A precious gift
Most of us have signed some form of contract at one time or another. Whether it’s an application for a bank account, filling out your tax form or signing a mortgage deed or tenancy agreement – your signature, whether on the dotted line or in the square box, brings a change in status but also commits you to do specific things in a certain way. Paul continues his forensic explanation of what our salvation involves as he reminds his readers of the condition they were once in...
Who’s happy now?
In the 40 days that followed the resurrection, Jesus laid the foundations of the church by instructing His disciples, giving particular emphasis to the Kingdom of God (Acts 1: 3). At the end of this period Jesus was taken up to heaven, leaving His disciples alone once again, with the promise that He would return in the same way as He had left the earth. The disciples now waited for God’s gift of power...
When new life begins
Does it matter how we behave? Surely an ever loving, all powerful God will always forgive us whatever we do? It’s an old question but one with a contemporary and a very personal twist. Things may not be as clear as they first appear, whether you are a 1st century Roman citizen or a Swindonian, vintage 2016...
Amazing Grace
Paul’s assessment of the human condition has detailed our failings but has recognised the possibility that our sins can be forgiven and the consequences of rebellion overcome. His understanding of hope centres on Christ: it is Christ who saves us – what He did has broken the power of sin as He gave His life willingly for us. This is both the complete answer and the basis of total transformation (see verses 18 and 19)...
