Introduction Last week's chapter was all about how the Lord was going to unsheathe his sword and use it against the people of Jerusalem. And it turned out that when he referred to his sword, he meant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. God was going to send Nebuchadnezzar and his army to bring death and destruction … Continue reading Ezekiel 22

Psalm 143
Introduction Psalm 143 is another psalm of David. And in this psalm he appeals to the Lord his God to hear him as he cries to the Lord for help. He needs help, because there are enemies who are pursuing him and his life is in danger. And once again, David was writing as a … Continue reading Psalm 143
Psalm 142
Introduction Psalms 138 to 145 are psalms of David and today's one has a title which tells us that it's about a time when David was in a cave. We know of two occasions when David was in a cave. There may have been more, but the Bible records two occasions only. One is recorded … Continue reading Psalm 142
Acts 10
Introduction I made the point last week that we haven't heard much about Peter since chapter 5. Since then, Luke has told us about Stephen, who was the first Christian martyr; and Philip the Evangelist; and Saul -- or Paul as we now know him -- who was converted to faith in Christ and appointed … Continue reading Acts 10
Acts 09(32–43)

Acts 09(01–31)

For instance, last week we read that an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip the … Continue reading Acts 09(01–31)
Psalm 141
Introduction Today's psalm is another psalm of David. Psalms 138 to 145 are all psalms of David and I've said before that it's possible that these final psalms of David were a reminder to God's people after the Babylonian exile that God had not forgotten his promise to send his people a new king in … Continue reading Psalm 141
Psalm 140
Introduction I mentioned last time that there's a small group of Davidic psalms right at the end of the psalter from Psalm 138 to Psalm 145. And they were a reminder to God's people after the Babylonian exile that the Lord had not forgotten his promise to raise up a new and greater king than … Continue reading Psalm 140
Ezekiel 20(45)–21(32)
Introduction It's been about a month since we last studied the book of Ezekiel together. And so, let me refresh your memory of it by reminding you of the historical background. God had settled his people in the Promised Land in the days of Joshua. When they asked for a king, he gave them first … Continue reading Ezekiel 20(45)–21(32)
Acts 08(26–40)
Introduction At the beginning of the book of Acts, Luke recorded how the Lord Jesus said to the apostles that they will be his witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea and in Samaria and to the ends of the earth. And when we studied that verse several months ago now, I explained that those words … Continue reading Acts 08(26–40)
