Diving into Paul’s command to keep away from those who are idle, Ps Joseph guides us into a reflection on the theology of work, reminding us that when we work right, we worship well.
Bringing us into the final chapter of 2 Thessalonians, Ps Joseph challenges us to re-ignite our lives of prayer, partnering with our Lord in the victory of the gospel.
Closing out the second chapter of 2 Thessalonians, Ps Mabel reminds us to stand firm in the midst of difficult times.
Revd Darren brings us through this tricky passage to understand the coming of Christ and the characteristics of the lawless one
Sin lurks in the dark and whispers sweet nothings to entice us from ideation into fulfilment of the lust of life. Never say “not me” for your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8) - as we witness the fall of David from that one moment of impulse in 2 Samuel 11.
As we continue in the ‘Life of David’ series in 2 Samuel 8:1-15, it is evident through King David’s continued success in conquests and administering his God-given purpose in honour.. Are we being purposeful in pursuit of worldly gains or being purposeful to glorify God?
Everyone who is called by My name,
And whom I have created for My glory,
Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.
- Is 43:7
“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. - Matt. 27:37-38
Are we doing just that? Is God the priority in our life? Or do we seek God only ‘on-demand’? Do we render service based on what we are comfortable with or embodying it as a lifestyle? Reflect and consider as Ps Joseph speaks the truth about living out God-driven priorities through King David in 2 Samuel 7, and simply put, let God be God.
Rev Darren tackles timeless debates of “Why God is/Why does God allow…?” through perceivably innocent error of Uzzah, and challenges us to reflect on holiness…. and reverential fear of God.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
- Psalm 55:8-9
