# Summary This presentation explores the profound words of Jesus Christ regarding the impossibility of serving two masters - God and Mammon (wealth/riches). The speaker delves into the concept of slavery and the total commitment required in serving God, drawing parallels from the Old Testament. The presentation then examines the dangers of the love…

We quoted these words at the end of our thoughts yesterday. They were the words of God to Jeremiah. What was it that God’s people loved to have in a certain way? God said, “An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land; the people prophecy falsely and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so” [Ch.5 v.30,31] Why w…

But it did not seem like a parable! All Jesus had said when he “called the people to him” was, “Hear and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what goes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” [Matt. 15 v.11] It was because “the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying” [v.12] that Peter asked, appar…

As we read more of the remarkable testimony of Jeremiah whom God called to give his message during the final years of Jerusalem before it was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar. We come across some remarkable, but brief glimpses of the ultimate future time of glory. In today’s chapter we read, “At that time Jerusalem shall be called the throne of the LORD…

The presentation discusses the historical evidence of trade routes between Britain and other nations, linking it to biblical prophecies about Tarshish. It suggests Britain’s significant role in global events, especially in the end times and the coming Kingdom of God. The mention of ancient glass beads and archaeological findings further supports th…

“Living Waters”? They are the opposite to stagnant water, they are fresh and pure. This phrase symbolizes a mind fed by healthy godly ways of thinking. We have just started reading the prophet Jeremiah and so much which God causes him to write is appropriate for the world of the 21st Century. He was the prophet who had the difficult task of bringin…

Many other prophecies in the Old Testament are fulfilled in Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Jesus says many things that are very challenging, but few are more challenging than those we read today in Matthew 12 v.36, “I tell you, on the day of judgement people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” What is a careless word? Jesus had just chall…

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The spirit, broadly considered, is the power of God. We are born of water and spirit and as we draw closer to divine teaching, we absorb the mind of Christ and produce the fruit of the spirit. The cleansing by water and absorbing the spirit of Christ is a necessary part of our Discipleship. This outstanding s…

Our chapter in Matthew (11) makes it clear that the teaching of Jesus was a tremendous challenge as he continued his ministry. “Jesus went on from there to teach and preach in their cities” [v.1] It is not difficult to imagine the great discussions and debate that took place; the condemnation of the religious leaders adding to the confusion. Jesus …

Today and tomorrow we read the final 2 chapters of Isaiah. God expresses through the prophet his lament for those who turn away from him, those who “insulted me” – to whom he says, “do not come near me, for I am too holy for you” [65 v.5,7] In contrast his true servants “shall sing for gladness of heart” and “his servants he will call by another na…

The word ‘name’ is often used in Scripture in the sense of reputation. We use it that way too: someone has a ‘bad name’ or a ‘good name.’ As we complete reading the prophecies of Isaiah in the next couple of days we see references to God’s name in this sense; that his ‘reputation’ has been forgotten, his people no longer believe in him. The prophet…

Isaiah writes, “I will recount the steadfast love of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has granted us … [6 v.7] It is good as well as necessary that we think positively about the attitude of God to his creation. We can – and must – sometimes think of his anger with the constant failures of his chosen people Israel. H…

Today we completed reading the 3 chapters in Matthew (5,6 & 7) which comprise what we call ‘The Sermon on the Mount.’ Today’s chapter is full of challenging precepts as to the way we should live our lives. Verses 1 to 5 are a warning about being hypocritical; how readily we human beings can see the faults in others and yet be blind to greater fault…

What are our priorities in life? Do we only find time to think about and do anything in the service of God and our Saviour Jesus in our spare time? Of course, Sunday’s would be at least partly an exception. Matthew 6, which we read today, has many challenging words from Jesus. It’s final verses see Jesus challenging his disciples, “ … O you of litt…

We have a remarkable chapter in Isaiah today; a number of its verses reflect some in the final chapters in Revelation that we read a few days ago. They picture the ultimate time to come when the perfect age is reached and the whole world becomes a garden of Eden populated by perfected people. This is what God intended from the beginning of creation…

Our Matthew reading brings us to the strange account of the temptation of Jesus by the devil. The first point to note is that “Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” [ch.4 v.1] This shows us that it was God’s Spirit that “led” him to a place of temptation away from human inhabitation and 40 days elapsed befo…

Fasting means abstaining; deliberately depriving yourself of something, usually food, as an act of submissive worship. Jesus criticised the religious leaders who “disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others,” deliberately making themselves “look gloomy” [Matt. 6 v. 16]. Jesus classes them as “hypocrites”. What provoked our though…

Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly … your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought out a man after his own heart.” [1 Samuel 13 v.13,14]. Saul was in trouble, he was in a hopeless military position, the prophet Samuel had come a day later (maybe only hours later) than had been arranged, so Saul foolishly offered sacrifices himself…

Today’s chapter (55) in Isaiah starts with an invitation, “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come … “ The next verse asks a question, “Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which does not satisfy?” Today so many spend their money and energies on that which has no las…

The great majority of human beings, apart from many in poor countries, are totally motivated to gain and enjoy wealth. Of course we need to have some money but Paul wrote, “Keep yourself free from the love of money, and be content with what you have.” [Heb 13 v.5] Remember our thoughts 2 days ago about those who “turned aside after gain” and today’…

Behind every significant event in history has been the “will of the LORD” bringing about things that are “good” or things that are “bad” – more often the latter. This is even sometimes the case with seemingly insignificant events! In our reading of 1 Samuel 9, donkeys belonging to a Benjamite become lost and the owner’s son, Saul is sent to look fo…

1 Samuel 8 starts by telling us “when Samuel became old …” and the next few chapters tell us of all the drama that happened in his old age. The first problem was that Samuel’s sons whom he had made judges “did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after gain. They took bribes and perverted justice.” [v.3]. There is no record of Samuel’s wife. How …

Our readings in Isaiah and Revelation both challenge us with figurative language about the climax of life on earth. There are many passages in God’s word which make reference to the heavens in a way in which it seems clear they symbolise, in certain contexts, the ruling powers on earth. Through Isaiah God says, “My righteousness draws near, my salv…

We do not know a great deal about Isaiah’s personal situation. In John’s Gospel we read that “Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him” [12 v.41], so the seeing was with the eye of faith, a vivid picture in the mind. Isaiah “saw” what was to come, believing with such total conviction that the experience was counted as seei…
  continue reading
 
As we continue reading the final message of Jesus in Revelation we reflect on how much heart searching it has caused believers in every generation. It’s wonderful visions of an ultimate age of perfection and glory are balanced by the awesome series of woes beforehand. The last 1900 years bear testimony to the judgements that were predicted – but so…
