Introduction Since the start of the year, we've been working our way through Matthew's gospel on Wednesday evenings. And we've reached the Sermon on the Mount and have spent four Wednesdays on it already.

Titus 02
Introduction Paul wrote this letter to Titus, who was one of his co-workers in the gospel. And Paul had left Titus in Crete to straighten out some things in the churches there. And in this letter, Paul instructed Titus on the things he needed to do and to teach on Crete. In verse 1 of … Continue reading Titus 02
Titus 01(05–16)
Introduction Titus was one of Paul's co-workers in the gospel; and Paul had left him on the island of Crete. And we're told in verse 5 of chapter 1 that the reason Paul left Titus on Crete was to straighten out what was left unfinished. So, at some point -- and we don't know when … Continue reading Titus 01(05–16)
Hebrews 01(05–15)
Introduction We began to study the book of Hebrews last Sunday evening, when we spent our time on the first four verses of chapter 1, where the author teaches us about the one who is Son.

Matthew 05(21–30)

Hebrews 01(01–04)
Introduction This evening we're beginning a series on the book of Hebrews, which is a kind of letter. It may not seem like a letter from the opening verses; and the opening of Hebrews is very unlike the opening of Titus which we read this morning. Titus began with Paul referring to himself as the … Continue reading Hebrews 01(01–04)
Titus 01(01–04)
Introduction We began to study Paul's pastoral letters near the end of last year; and last week we reached the end of 2 Timothy. And it makes sense to me that we should go on now and complete the pastoral letters by studying Paul's letter to Titus. 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus are known … Continue reading Titus 01(01–04)
Matthew 05(17–20)
Introduction Just as the Israelites gathered at Mount Sinai to receive the law from the Lord, so the disciples have gathered at a mountain to receive the law from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Malachi 02(17)–03(12)
Introduction The book of Malachi consists of six complaints which the Lord brought before his people through the prophet Malachi. So far, we've studied three of the complaints.
