Introduction It's been a while since we last looked at the book of Genesis together. But so far, we've spent five weeks studying chapters 1 and 2. We spent three weeks in chapter 1 and two weeks in chapter 2. On the first week, we learned that Moses wrote the book of Genesis. And he … Continue reading Genesis 03(01–08)

Genesis 03(08–24)
Introduction Last week we spent our time thinking about the first eight verses of chapter 3 and the way the Serpent, or the Devil, tempted Eve. And I suggested that he used three approaches which he still uses today to tempt us. First of all, he undermined Eve's confidence in the goodness of God. Even … Continue reading Genesis 03(08–24)
Genesis 04
Introduction Think back for a moment to what we learned from chapter 2 of the book of Genesis about the marvellous world that the Lord had made for Adam. Remember? In the Garden of Eden, everywhere Adam looked there were trees which were both pleasing to the eye and good for food. There was an … Continue reading Genesis 04
Isaiah 56–66
Introduction Over the last two Sundays we've been studying the book of Isaiah together. Rather than going through it chapter by chapter -- which would take months to complete -- we've been doing an overview of it, dividing it into big chunks. On the first Sunday in December, we concentrated on chapters 1 to 39 … Continue reading Isaiah 56–66
Isaiah 40–55
Introduction I said last week that in the weeks coming up to Christmas, instead of starting a new series of sermons which I'd have to interrupt for Christmas, that I'd preach on the book of Isaiah. Though Isaiah is a big book, and though it would take many months to go through it in detail, … Continue reading Isaiah 40–55
Isaiah 01–39
Introduction I was in a bit of a dilemma this week, trying to work out what to preach on today. Two weeks ago, we finished the series of sermons on the book of Galatians; and so, we're due to start something new today. However, I'm reluctant to start a long series of sermons right now, … Continue reading Isaiah 01–39
Daniel 12
Introduction Well, since we've come to the final chapter of the book of Daniel, let me summarise what we've seen so far. Back in chapter 1 we read how the people of Israel were taken into exile by the Babylonians. Among the exiles were Daniel and his three friends who were chosen to undergo a … Continue reading Daniel 12
Daniel 11
Introduction We've seen that Daniel received various dreams and visions from the Lord. There was his dream in chapter 7 about the four great beasts and the little horn which grew out of the fourth beast. And then there was the vision in chapter 8 about the ram and the goat and another little horn. … Continue reading Daniel 11
Daniel 10
Introduction We're very near the end of Daniel now, because although there are three more chapters for us to study including the one we're studying this evening, these three last chapters belong together and contain one more vision which Daniel received from the Lord. So, we're near the end of the book of Daniel. But … Continue reading Daniel 10
Daniel 09
Introduction So, I've explained before that whereas Daniel chapters 1 to 6 were straightforward narrative with Daniel describing what happened to him and to his friends in Babylon, Daniel chapters 7 and 8 were what are know as apocalyptic literature. In apocalyptic literature, the Lord reveals heavenly secrets and secrets about his plan for the … Continue reading Daniel 09
