THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERDMatthew 9:35-38, Psalm 23 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Life without God is like sheep without a shepherd: Not only are you left to fend for yourself, but you never know better: what you go …

Psalm 23:4-6 The psalmist does not say how he got there. It could be through temptation he landed there, or it could be just a part of his life’s journey, or it could even be that the Shepherd led him there. This is a time of darkness, of fear, of not knowing the outcome. But …

FROM FUTILITY TO ETERNITYEphesians 4:17-5:2 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. Futility is the viewpoint that no matter what you do, it will make no difference. Therefore what you do is meaningless. And …

MATURITYEphesians 4:1-16 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

WISDOMLuke 7:18-35 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Proverbs 1:7) John the Baptizer had doubts. He was receiving all sorts of reports from his disciples, very likely coloured by expectations and opinions rather than “what you have seen and heard”. He could not know the …

“She has done a beautiful thing to me.” (Mark 14:6) She broke the jar. That says it all. She never intended to keep any of the perfume. She must have thought deeply over what she would do but the alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard, was the obvious choice for her. …

FAITHLuke 7:1-50 “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” It took a non-jew to demonstrate great faith. It took a prostitute to show a religious leader how to express faith. Which goes to show that it has nothing to do with background or learning. These things, so valued by …

MUCH LOVE AND LITTLE LOVEMalachi 1:1-14 “I have loved you,” says the Lord. “But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’” It is amazing that God even answers the question! As he says, and we know, “For I am a great king,” says the Lord Almighty, “and my name is to be feared among the …

DESPAIR AND HOPEPsalm 42, 10, 130 People say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” I imagine that “people” could often be just voices in your own head, questioning, casting doubt and even mocking your faith. In the first psalm, the Psalmist shared with us a part of his journey when he experienced …

THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRITActs 2:1-47 “Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.” This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel. This is the prophecy coming true before your very eyes. It is now the …
