Prayer Matters, Part 2

We dig deeper into the practical and spiritual hindrances to prayer and look for solutions from experience and from Scripture.

Prayer Matters, Part 1

We take a very practical look at prayer, so that we may not only know the great importance of prayer, but that we may actually learn to pray in 2011 as perhaps we have never prayed before.

The Right to Eat from the Altar

Hebrews 13:9-14 Continuing our comparison of the Old and the New Covenant Priesthoods, we see the privileges each had regarding their respective altars. Jesus fulfilled the sacrifices of atonement that the priests of the Old Covenant had no right to eat from.

Access to God

Hebrews 10:19-25 We are reminded that if we are believers, then we are priests under the New Covenant, and that therefore we have many wonderful privileges. One great privilege that we have is access to God.

The Gospel is Preached to the Poor

Matthew 11:1-6 We see the last sign that Jesus points to to authenticate Himself as the Messiah – that the poor have the Gospel preached to them. We consider that Jesus’ message was preached to those who were brokenhearted and mourning over their sin.

The Dead are Raised

John 11:17-46 We consider the account of Christ raising Lazarus from the dead and reflect upon the fact that physical death gives us a picture of its far worse spiritual counterpart, caused by sin.

Lepers Are Cleansed

Matthew 8:1-4 Continuing to examine the miracles by which Christ authenticated Himself as the promised Messiah, we look at the healing of a leper. We see that leprosy is a graphic picture of the corruption we all are born into this world with.

The Tongue of the Mute Will Shout for Joy

Matthew 12:22-23 Continuing to look at the evidences Jesus gave while here on earth that He is the Messiah promised by God, we review this account of the healing of a mute man. We see how physical muteness is a picture to use of spiritual muteness that results from sin.

Bible Survey: Job

We survey the book of Job, seeking to understand its structure and main themes. We see that it is an invaluable text book for us when we face times of suffering and trial for which there is no clear explanation that we can see.

Here I Raise My Ebenezer

1 Samuel 7:1-14 We reflect on the account of Samuel erecting Ebenezer, the ‘Stone of Help’ at the site of the victory God gave Israel over the Philistines – at the very place where earlier the Ark of the Covenant had been lost.

A Study on ‘Amen’

As we take a break from the Westminster Confession, we briefly study the word ‘Amen’ and how it should be used in worship.
