Introduction We studied the attributes of God together on Wednesday evenings in 2021 and 2022. And I said at that time that when we're talking about God's attributes, we're talking about what God is like. And over the years, theologians have identified quite a number of God's attributes to describe what God is like and … Continue reading Harvest and the attributes of God (Harvest 2024)

Psalm 111
Introduction We've been studying the book of Lamentations on Sundays evenings and I've explained that chapters 1 to 4 of Lamentations are what are known as acrostic poems. That means that each verse in each poem begins with each successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. And Psalm 111 is also an acrostic poem, because if … Continue reading Psalm 111
Psalm 110
Introduction Psalm 110 is the most frequently quoted psalm in the New Testament. And the reason it's quoted so frequently is because it speaks so very clearly of Christ our Saviour, who is also Christ our King and Priest. And it's about how he's now seated in heaven at the right hand of God the … Continue reading Psalm 110
Psalm 109
Introduction You'll see from the title of today's psalm that it's for the director of music and it's a psalm of David. And actually it's a psalm of lament, which means David is calling on the Lord for help because of the trouble he's in. He's pouring out his heart to the Lord. But the … Continue reading Psalm 109
Psalm 108
Introduction The title of today's psalm tells us that this is a psalm of David. And the psalm is an amalgamation of part of two other psalms. So, verses 1 to 5 of Psalm 108 are very similar to Psalm 57:7--11; and verses 6 to 13 of Psalm 108 are very similar to Psalm 60:5--12. … Continue reading Psalm 108
Lamentations 3
Introduction This is now our third week in the book of Lamentations, where the author, who may have been Jeremiah, is lamenting before the Lord because of what happened to Jerusalem in 587 BC. Let me once again remind you what happened in case you've forgotten or weren't here. In 2 Kings 23, we read … Continue reading Lamentations 3
Ephesians 05(22–33)
Introduction When I'm walking the dogs through the castle forest park, there's one particular path which I go along sometimes and when I go there with the dogs I need to pay attention to what I'm doing, because there have been times when I've been lost in thought and I haven't being paying attention and … Continue reading Ephesians 05(22–33)
Common grace, general revelation, suppression and exchange (Romans)
Introduction I thought that for this evening I would do a one-off sermon on these verses from Romans 1. Although it's a one-off sermon, it's connected to some of what we learned in our recent studies in the books of Jonah and Nahum. I'll point that out as we go, but for now, let's turn … Continue reading Common grace, general revelation, suppression and exchange (Romans)
Lamentations 2
Introduction We began to study the book of Lamentations last Sunday evening. And you'll remember that the background to the book is the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC. Let me remind you briefly of the history. In 2 Kings 23, we read that the southern kingdom of Judah became subject to Egypt. But shortly … Continue reading Lamentations 2
Ephesians 05(15–21)
Introduction You'll perhaps remember that Paul has been using different images or ideas to explain to us that, when we're converted to faith in Christ, God changes us. So, Paul told us that once we were dead in our transgressions and sins, but then God made us alive with Christ and raised us up with … Continue reading Ephesians 05(15–21)
