The Mass Rejection of the Mighty Saviour
The Mass Rejection of the Mighty Saviour Text: John 6:52-71 If there’s one thing certain it is that if God undertakes to teach someone, He will be successful in doing so. That’s the implication of the Saviour’s teaching in John 6:45, quoting Isaiah. God will teach successfully in order to draw those whom He has given the Son into the experience of everlasting life.…
Why We Should Pray
Why We Should Pray Text: Jeremiah 33:3 My text this this morning is found in the midst of dire circumstances. It’s the eleventh year of Zedekiah’s reign and Jeremiah is still imprisoned. Why was he there? Quite simple, for doing nothing else but preaching God’s Word. v1 follows from 32:1. Obviously God’s Word had come to him on many occasions, but this was the…
Jesus the Living Bread
Jesus the Living Bread Text: John 6:41-51 Let me set the scene again briefly. The Lord Jesus has just fed the five thousand. They are enamoured by Him, rightly believing that He is the Prophet Moses prophesied of, but thinking that He had come to supply physical bread or manna for them, and not getting that He’s is the true bread, i.e. the spiritual bread God provides…
God Provides
God Provides Text: Philippians 4:18-23 I. THE AGENT IN PROVISION – v18 God’s provision comes through certain agents. In this case, the agent is the Philippian church and their messenger Epaphroditus. 1. The Practical Significance of their Provision “I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you”…
How You Can Be Sure of Heaven or Hell
How You Can Be Sure of Heaven or Hell Text: John 6:30-40 Jesus is still addressing the crowd that sought for Him at the other side of Galilee. Their motive is because Jesus seems useful. But what Jesus is expressing to them is that He is vital. He moves their attention from the temporal to the eternal, and He makes it perfectly clear how one obtains the eternal provision…
Partnership in Christian Giving

PAUL’S DECLARATION OF JOY IN THEIR GIFT – v10 Source, Sphere, Sympathy of His Joy. II. PAUL’S DISCLAIMER OF JOY IN THEIR GIFT v11 III. PAUL’S DISCOVERY OF JOY IN GOD’S GIFTS v12-13 Contrast and Claim.…
Christ Condemns Carnal Appetites
Christ Condemns Carnal Appetites Text: John 6:22-29 v1-15 – Jesus performs the miracle of feeding the five thousand. It was a sign to show He is the Bread of Life v35, v41, v48, v51, v55. This is what the miracle signified. He provides salvation for the multitude who believe, and He provides for those that believe in Him, everything they personally need. That’s…
The Joy of Christian Giving
The Joy of Christian Giving Text: Philippians 4:10-13 As we come to these closing verses, we approach no doubt what was one of the primary reasons for the apostle taking up his pen, which was to express his gratitude to them for the gift which the Philippians had sent to him by the hand of Epaphroditus. He made a passing reference to it in 2:25,30 but now he makes it a…
The I AM Makes Special Provision For His People
The I AM Makes Special Provision For His People Text: John 6:16-21 This chapter is one of the saddest in the gospel accounts, but it is also very important to understand. The Lord Jesus taught many times about the reality of false converts. That is in part what the parable of the sower is teaching,…
Think And Do Whatever Is True
Think And Do Whatever Is True Text: Philippians 4:8-9 Whether Christian or not, how you think determines what you love, and what you love determines how you live, especially how you live in secret. The only way to change what you do is to change how you think. And when you change how you think you will change what you love. Speaking of the man that has the evil eye,…
