You cannot see what’s really making you unclean – until Jesus shows you it’s pouring out of your own heart.
No matter how tested – or untested – your faith is, Jesus is equally reachable, and reaches back just as fully.
Herod wears the crown; Jesus holds the bread – and only one of these kings is worth living under.
The Kingdom’s immeasurable worth is supremely valued by those who discover it and rejected by those who think they already know the King.
In the face of real evil, the Kingdom of heaven grows unstoppably, and both its future greatness and final judgement are settled.
The Kingdom that was once secret is now revealed and made understandable because Jesus suffered to heal us.
When Christians gather together, they must ensure the gospel is communicated rightly and clearly so that it builds up Jesus’ church.
When Christians gather together, they speak the gospel into the lives of both believers and unbelievers so that Jesus’ church is built up.
Without love, even the most impressive gifts and sacrifices are nothing, because love is the Christlike way that builds the church now and lasts forever.
The Holy Spirit makes all Christians essential members of Christ’s body and empowers them to serve others in various and interdependent ways.
The Lord’s Supper proclaims Christ’s self-giving death for his one body, so we must not receive it in ways that divide or despise that body.
When the church gathers, our conduct must not preach against the God we worship – obscuring His created order, dishonouring Christ, or dishonouring one another.
The gospel warns God’s people not to presume on spiritual privilege, but to flee idolatry and live with wholehearted loyalty to Christ.
Psalm 102 is a psalm of lament that teaches us how to go to God in the worst times of our lives and it teaches us how to pray when we don’t have the words ourselves.
Gospel-shaped freedom is not the right to serve ourselves, but the freedom to lay down our rights so others are built up and saved.
In these last days believers should hold their earthy things lightly and pursue undivided devotion to the Lord.
Since you belong to Christ, live faithfully with Him in the life he has given you.
People who belong to Christ must live in line with who they are in Him: pursuing purity, wise judgement, and righteousness.
Division in the church is caused by pride and jealousy, but the gospel humbles and unites.
God’s wisdom is Jesus Christ crucified, and God gives us his wisdom through his Spirit so that we can live for him.
The resurrection is not just the happy ending to the story of Jesus – it is the truth that holds the whole Christian faith together. On Easter Sunday, we’ll see why Paul insists that if Christ has not been raised, we are left in a terrible mess: still in sin, without hope, and with nothing solid to stand on. But because Christ has been raised, everything is different. Our labour is not in vain, our future is secure, and our hope is alive.
The church in Corinth was full of division, pride, confusion, and compromise. Yet before Paul answers their many issues, he takes them to the cross. This Good Friday, we begin our series in 1 Corinthians by seeing how Christ crucified is not merely the starting point of the Christian life, but the power and wisdom of God that reshapes every part of it. As Paul will show, the cross does not sit at the edge of our faith – it stands at the centre.
Sometimes we look at those who prosper without God and wonder if we would be better off without God as well. Follow Asaph in Psalm 73 as he works through his thoughts and feelings of envy to find his final answer only in God himself.
The LORD saves his people from judgment through the blood of the lamb and calls them to rightly remember his salvation.
Through his judgments, Yahweh reveals that he alone has power over Egypt, its gods, and Pharaoh’s heart.
