Prayer and the Name of the Lord
16 May, 2021

Creation Subject to Fruitlessness
09 May, 2021
Pursuing the theme of the church in prayer and Abel typical of the man whose heart is perfect toward the Lord, we look at Cain's brief genealogy as typical of the ever declining moral tendency of fallen man. Behind this is the divine subjection of…
Abel Still Speaks
02 May, 2021

The Peace of God
11 April, 2021
In a world that is increasingly fraught with violence, confusion, deception and deep anxiety, we find that there is a peace which passes all understanding which is ours in Christ, if we will simply trust in the word of the Lord.
The Things That Are Christ's
04 April, 2021

14 March, 2021
In the face of attempted sectarian division of the church, a condition which is widespread in christendom to this day, Paul seeks to direct the believers in the churches of Galatia, after having come to Christ, to go on and grow to maturity in the…
The Knowledge of God Part 2

The Atonement Part 11
14 February, 2021
In this message we take the briefest overview of 7 theories of the Atonement of Christ before observing that the substance of the Atonement is our deliverance from death into the relationship of life with God in living union with Him.
The Compassionate Church
07 February, 2021
Taking that most sublime letter to the church at Ephesus, in which Paul gives us a panoramic view of the church of Jesus Christ of cosmic dimensions, Daniel shares the vital ministry the local assembly fulfils without which the work of Compassion…
The Atonement Part 10
31 January, 2021
We consider the atonement of Christ from the point of view of the satisfaction of God's pleasure - His pleasure in His Son Who is God's atonement. Included here we look at the matter of our innocence to begin with, and of Paul's assertion that we…
The Atonement Part 9
24 January, 2021
We look at the Fall, in particular the approach of the Lord following the disobedience of the man and the woman. We trace the progression from innocence through the prohibition, to disobedience, then confession and faith in the promised Redeemer, and…
The Atonement Part 8
17 January, 2021
In the course of coming to a spiritual understanding of fallen man's accountability before God concerning His existence, with the eventual view to their receiving His atonement in Christ, we see how God has made Himself "clearly seen" to all…
Spiritual Growth Through Discipleship
10 January, 2021
With a comprehensive overview of the nature of true discipleship in the Lord Jesus, illustrated by a wide-ranging summary of many years of his own personal experience following and serving the Lord, Terry presents us with a searching and illuminating…
The Atonement Part 7
03 January, 2021
God's eternal purpose, His full pleasure, the centre and sum of all His deliberations and appointments is found in His Son and nowhere else. In the light of this we consider an understanding of the wrath of God in the context of the atonement of…
The Atonement Part 6
27 December, 2020
We begin in this continuing series on the atonement to look at the wrath of God, and in particular to start to address the question as to whether Jesus was punished for our sins, and also whether the wrath of God was poured out on Jesus on the cross…
The Atonement Part 5
20 December, 2020
We take a further look at the gospel as the power of God, bearing in mind that the Atonement is at the heart of the gospel. We take notice of the fact that the righteousness of God is revealed through the gospel, and that it is, comprehensively, the…
The Atonement Part 4
13 December, 2020
We look at the gospel as the power of God by which we are saved, and as the gift of God Himself to us, whereby we receive and participate in the Atonement at the heart of divine Redemption in Christ. This provision is made available to us by the pure…
The Atonement Part 3
06 December, 2020
What is the significance of Christ as the antitype of the scapegoat released into the wilderness on the Day of Atonement? We look at what being made perfect means, what it means to have no conscience of sins and what it means that there is no more…
The Church - John 15
29 November, 2020
Ross concludes his ministry among us with a message on the church as she is depicted in John 15 in Jesus' parable of the Vine and the branches. The centrality and all-sufficiency of Jesus for both the individual and the corporate Body of Christ is…

In Christ we have been given all things for life and godliness, and following Peter's development of that, Ross exhorts us to ever pursue a deeper knowledge of the Lord.
Sustaining Faith in Turbulent Times
08 November, 2020

Holding On
01 November, 2020
Ross emphasises the dynamic nature of holding on in the life of faith. Rather than a mere clinging, we steadily walk with the Lord in living fellowship. Vital elements like prayer, encouragement, discipline, fruitfulness, sanctification, and…

The Atonement Part 1
06 September, 2020
