The Salvation of God in Christ

05 July, 2026

What exactly is salvation in Christ? In this message we look at the Biblical record, and how it is often reduced and simplified in the popular mind.

Paul speaks of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end of the present age, and our gathering together to Him. In that context he speaks of a "falling away", or apostasy. In this message we look more broadly at the apostasy of man from his…

The Way of the Cross III

03 July, 2026

The spiritually forlorn condition of much of the church today is exposed as rooted in a neglect of the reality of the Cross of Jesus Christ in both doctrine and practice. The responsibility for this lies firstly at the feet of the institutionalised…

The God Who Sees You in the Storm

28 June, 2026

Ken helps us to see that even in the centre of the will of God, and obedience to Him, we will still experience deep and searching troubles, even to the extremity of our own resources. We are encouraged to remember that the Lord of all creation is…

Not My Will But Yours Be Done

26 June, 2026

What did Jesus really mean by His prayer in Gethsemane? We examine the different gospel accounts of His prayer, as well as reference to it in the book of Hebrews to discover a convincing answer to this question. We also look briefly at some…

God Sows, In Christ

21 June, 2026

In the course of tracing the transition of Israel after the flesh from their failure before the Assyrians in the north, and their failure before the Babylonians in the south, to their fulfilment in Christ as the Israel of God, we see Paul discovering…

The Day of Jezreel

14 June, 2026

As Paul the apostle addresses the position of Israel after the flesh in his letter to the Roman church, he dismisses both ethnicity, and works, as grounds for favour with God. He does this by demonstrating that from the days of Jesus' incarnation…

Life That Has The Mastery of Death

12 June, 2026

The death of Lazarus, and his resuscitation, all under the sovereign government of the triune God, led directly to Jesus' crucifixion by the combined machinations of the Jewish authorities and the Roman Imperial governor. This in turn, according to…

Fellowship Governance by Brothers

31 May, 2026

We consider here the significance of the brothers in the life of the New Testament local assembly. For much of the last two millennia, with the institutionalisation of the church, the clergy-laity divide has reduced the majority of the flock to the…

I Determined to Know ...

30 May, 2026

The apostle Paul determined to know Jesus Christ and Him crucified before all else. By this he meant that he was constrained exclusively to the revelation of Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit, not only in his own experience of Jesus Christ and life in…

The Servants of Christ

24 May, 2026

Over many centuries, the clergy-laity divide has resulted in the robbing of the majority of the brothers and sisters of Christ in the local assembly of their God-intended fruitfulness in service of the Lord, and of one another. The church at large…

From Tragedy in Moab to Refuge Under His Wings

17 May, 2026

Ken draws out for us the transition of Ruth and Naomi from family tragedy in Moab, to security under the wings of the God of Israel. This illustrates for us the unseen hand of God, a very present help in time of trouble.

His Body, The Fulness of Him

10 May, 2026

Ever since the second century, church governance has been distorted by the traditions of men. In the 5th century, Jerome identified it as being by the "provocations of Satan". The clergy/laity divide has muted, largely, the majority of the flock, as…

He Made Himself Known

03 May, 2026

We consider in this incident in the life of Judah something of the heart of prayer, and of the impact of the Lord on our lives in the pursuit of prayer.

Light Become Darkness

26 April, 2026

As the progression of the signs of Yahweh draws near to the final sign when Israel will be released from Egyptian slavery, we observe Pharaoh complete his descent into deep darkness, typified by the penultimate sign, darkness across the land of Egypt…

Mockery of Mercy and Truth

19 April, 2026

The spiritual and moral degeneration of the race, seen at Noah's Flood, arrested at Babel, seen in the nation of Israel, and ultimately in all nations in Babylon the Great, is set forth for us in Pharaoh and Egypt, in cameo. There, in the midst of…

Longsuffering Mercy in Judgement

12 April, 2026

The opposition of Pharaoh against Israel is essentially the opposition of the gods of Egypt against the eternal Son of God. We see as we consider Yahweh's longsuffering wrestling with Pharaoh, the manifestation of the gracious and merciful Name of…

Complete in Christ II

29 March, 2026

When Jesus said, "It is finished", He had provided a complete salvation by providing Himself as the perfected Saviour of mankind. As such, He is the One in Whom we find a Man complete according to the eternal purpose of God, and the One in Whom we…

Complete in Christ I

22 March, 2026

The difference between the shadow and the substance; the difference between life in anticipation of Christ and life in Christ. No more remembrance of sins means no more remembrance of sins.

Whom He Wills He Hardens

15 March, 2026

Further to understanding something of God's dealings with the true Israel of God, and thence with all men, we come to consider His deliverance of Israel from Egypt. Included here are the signs and wonders in the judgement of the gods of Egypt, and…

With Jesus Within the Veil

14 March, 2026

We look at the significance of the Golden Altar of incense in connection with Ark of the covenant in the temple and what that means for our life in Jesus Christ.

The Spiritual Man

13 March, 2026

In his first letter to the church in Corinth Paul speaks of the Natural man and the Spiritual man. In his second letter, Paul, in the process of defending the true apostolic gospel and ministry, is identified by the governing Spirit of the Lord as…

Ethnicity and Works

08 March, 2026

Despite the broad and deep and eternal provision of God for the nation of Israel, all included in their promised Messiah, when He finally appeared they rejected Him and put Him to death. Nevertheless, Paul assures us that God's purpose according to…

The Spirit of the Cross

07 March, 2026

Dealing with serious problems in the church at Corinth, Paul goes to the Cross of Christ in the hands of the Holy Spirit as foundational to life in the church, as well as life in the world. It is the Testimony of God administered by the Holy Spirit…

The Searching Spirit

02 March, 2026

Isaiah, anticipating our day, and Paul, interpreting Isaiah in our day, help us gain understanding of the Spirit of God in the new testament provision in Christ.

The Abolition of Death

01 March, 2026

The Lord Jesus Christ came, incarnate, to abolish death and to bring life and immortality to light through the gospel. We consider how He was always intent upon bringing this to pass throughout His time among us on earth. We also consider the…

A Table Spread

22 February, 2026

As we consider the faith of the Syro-Phoenician woman who pled with Jesus to deliver her demonically possessed daughter, we discover the riches of the Lord made freely available to the implicitly trusting heart.

The Glory

15 February, 2026

One of the privileges, and great responsibilities, that Israel enjoyed in covenant relationship with God, identified by Paul in Romans chapter 9, is the "glory." What is the glory? What does the glory mean for us in Christ? We consider something of…
