In this talk we see Jesus perfected as Saviour, and as such bringing His own to perfection through regeneration, where that perfection flows on from being baptized into the life of God in the Holy Spirit.
Beginning with the Hebrews’ failure to enter God’s rest through the disobedience of unbelief, Ross leads on to the Lord’s rest of faith, and our mutual encouragement of one another that is all part of our entering into that rest.
“You are my Son, this day have I begotten You”; we look at the significance of this designation of Jesus, in connection with His resurrection, His sonship, and His perfection as our Saviour, as God speaks to us in this church age Son-wise.
Considering a primary theme in the Book of Hebrews, Ross gives us a view of the supremacy of Christ, His holiness, His unique love, His creative power, His atoning sufficiency in the sight of God.
In consideration of the significance of a letter written specifically to Jewish believers, we look at the relevance of that to ourselves as Gentile believers, identifying a key element applicable to both.
Looking at the possible options the young boy with the loaves and fishes had, Bob explores possible impediments to our own surrender of our all to the Lord.
Ross encourages us in the midst of an increasingly secular world to a life of faith, hope and love, depending upon the faithfulness of our God to keep us true to Him.
Ross explores the tremendous compassion of our Holy and Righteous God, especially as expressed through Jesus, and as also given freely to us in the Holy Spirit.
Ross considers life in the Lord with respect to the eternal perspective where our imperishable spirits shall be clothed by imperishable bodies. The prophetess Deborah illustrates for us this perspective.
We look at the development of a faith in Nicodemus that begins with a surreptitious nocturnal visit to Jesus, and finishes up despising the shame of the cross in the preparation and burial of His body.
In a look at Jesus' visit to a Feast of Tabernacles at Jerusalem, Stephen identifies the way of Jesus concerning its hiddenness, its dependence upon the revelation of the Holy Spirit, its completely selfless agenda, and its being all toward the glory…
Ross looks briefly at a number of women in the scriptures, especially some little mentioned ones, and identifies their significance.
In this message we look at the disciples confronted with a visit to Judea shortly before Jesus’ crucifixion when the whole religio-political establishment was intent upon Jesus’ destruction. Thomas demonstrates the beginnings of a faith that is in…

Expounding from Isaiah 42.1-4 Ken Kelly shows those qualities of the character of Christ that we are exhorted to demonstrate in our lives, that it might be who we are before God and man, rather than what we do in the first instance, that is our…
Paul is set forth for the Church as the “spiritual man” he speaks of in 1 Corinthians 2:15. By this we are instructed in our growth to maturity in the knowledge of God in Christ, as the Spirit of the Lord leads in the way of the Cross.
Against the background of Paul’s defence of his ministry in the face of the work of those false apostles which followed him continually, we look at the portrait of a man mature in the things of the Spirit of God, both in his personal life, as well as…
We hold our lives in the Lord as a stewardship as we serve Him in the Spirit. Our response to the Spirit’s governing influence as He leads in the way of the cross will determine the respective measure of reward or loss we will receive in the age to…
The spiritual impact of Yahweh’s visitation of Israel on Mt Sinai has dissipated by the time of Isaiah. The prophet cries to God for a fresh visitation with a cry that prophetically speaks in our day as well. Paul picks that up addressing the…

The revelation of the things of the Spirit of the Lord, this being our only avenue to the knowledge of the Lord and His Way, comes to us invariably in the way of the cross, in the course of practical, daily life.
We see that the fellowship of which Luke speaks in Acts 2:42 is central to the eternal purpose of God, and involves the building of the complete Man, which is Jesus Christ corporately in His Church. This fellowship has a very practical outworking in…
We see how the fellowship we share as believers in Jesus, is the fellowship of the Father and His Son, and is essentially spiritual before anything else, and is thus a matter of seeing by the illumination of the Holy Spirit.
