Lansdowne Midweek Bible Study – 13 October 2020 – 2 Peter 1v1-4a

October 27, 2020

Just as I have got behind in posting sermons, I am also behind in posting our church midweek Bible studies. I had a long break over the summer from doing our midweek meetings as one of our elders kindly took on that job (I will do a separate post soon with all his messages). On … More Lansdowne Midweek Bible Study – 13 October 2020 – 2 Peter 1v1-4a

Devotional for 27 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v19-22 part 2 – by the blood of Jesus

October 27, 2020

Hebrews 10:19-22 part 2 Yesterday we saw that we have confidence to enter the most holy place (into God’s presence). These verses use the illustration of the tabernacle in the wilderness where the sacrifices were made in the Old Testament. The high priest could only go in once a year on the Day of Atonement, to sprinkle the … More Devotional for 27 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v19-22 part 2 – by the blood of Jesus

Devotional for 26 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v19-22 – Confidence to enter

October 26, 2020

Hebrews 10:19-22 This passage is about entering into the presence of God. Before we look at it, it would be good just to pause and think for a moment… You and I can enter into the presence of Almighty God! This is truly amazing. We are sinners and He is holy. We are unrighteous and He is righteous. We … More Devotional for 26 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v19-22 – Confidence to enter

Once again, we see the honesty of … More Psalms series message 9 – Psalm 6 – Fear, favour and faith – 11 October 2020

Devotional for 24 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v17-18 – sins remembered no more

October 24, 2020

Hebrews 10:17-18 Verse 17 is another quote from the new covenant promise in Jeremiah 31. God says, “I will remember their sins and lawless needs no more.”   God, even though He knows all things, has put our sins away from Himself. He does not bring our sins to His mind, He does not treat His people as … More Devotional for 24 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v17-18 – sins remembered no more

Daily Devotional for 23 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v15-16 – the law on our hearts

October 23, 2020

Hebrews 10:15-16 Yesterday we saw that through the one sacrifice of Jesus, every true believer has been made perfect in God’s sight.  At the same time, He is sanctifying us – changing us to be more like Jesus. Today’s verses show us how.  Jesus died to bring us into the new covenant.  This is what … More Daily Devotional for 23 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v15-16 – the law on our hearts

Daily Devotional for 22 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v14 – Perfected forever

October 22, 2020

Hebrews 10:14 I’m sure you have heard the phrase “no-one is perfect.” As human beings we fall short, even of our own standards. But we can become casual and not care about mistakes or sin. On the other hand, some people try to be perfect all the time and are terribly distressed if they fail at something.   … More Daily Devotional for 22 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v14 – Perfected forever

Daily Devotional for 20 October 2020 – Psalm 27v14 – Wait for the Lord

October 20, 2020

Psalm 27:14 This isn’t the scripture that I originally planned to bring this morning. It was in my daily readings in the psalms and spoke to me. I admit that I am getting impatient – with Covid, with semi-lockdown, with problems that keep coming back. I would like the Lord to act now! But Psalm 27:14 says, … More Daily Devotional for 20 October 2020 – Psalm 27v14 – Wait for the Lord

Daily Devotional for 19 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v11-13 – One sacrifice

October 19, 2020

Hebrews 10:11-13 Last time we looked at the good news of Jesus coming again. But what about here and now, while we are waiting for His coming? Will we make it? Will we really be welcomed into glory on that day? Yes! The book of Hebrews gives assurance and again and again about how completely secure God’s people. Eternal … More Daily Devotional for 19 October 2020 – Hebrews 10v11-13 – One sacrifice
