2022 Devotions Week 06

OUR ADVOCATE IN A HOSTILE WORLDJohn 15-16:15 “But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” Jesus tells us that having the Holy Spirit is better than …

2022 Devotions Week 05

LOVE ONE ANOTHERJohn 15:1-17 Jesus is the Vine and the Father is the Gardener. Looking at the separation of roles, it seems to me that Jesus’ role as the Vine is to welcome all who desire to be a part of him. The Church is not to play God to determine who is saved or …

2022 Devotions Week 04

CHRIST OF THE “YES”2 CORINTHIANS 1:1-24 The Christian Life has often been described in negative terms. We know much more of what we should not do rather than what we should. Even the positive, like righteousness, is seen in terms that are negative: don’t this, don’t that. As such we are often hard put to …

2022 Devotions Week 03

NO WORD FROM GOD WILL EVER FAILLUKE 1:1-56 Two pregnancies, one received with joy, the other accepted in submission.  God is often multi-layered in his intentions. Elizabeth’s story is fundamentally a story of God’s kindness to a pious couple who had been childless. “He will be a joy and delight to you” reflects the grace …

2022 Devotions Week 02

LIVING FAITHGenesis 24:1-67 In the days of Abraham the bible did not exist. There were no Sunday Schools, sermons, worship songs. It was just one man getting to know God, believing his promises, following his instructions. This, in essence, is what it means to walk with God. Even the servant knew Abraham’s God, as he …

2022 Devotions Week 01

TASTE AND SEEPSALM 34:1-22 You cannot know God by singing songs to him. You cannot know God by listening to sermons. I dare say that you cannot know God by studying the bible.  You have to walk with him. Once you know him in your life’s experience, those songs you sing become real and meaningful …

2021 Devotions Week 52

THE CHRISTIAN LIFECOLOSSIANS 2:6-7 In the previous week, we were urged by the Word of God to take hold of the life for which Jesus took hold of us. Colossians 2:6-7 sum up succinctly what that means. Firstly the foundation, which is the Gospel. Jesus sacrificed himself to cancel out my debt of sin, past, …

2021 Devotions Week 51

I PRESS ONHEBREWS 12:1-2, 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24-27, PHILIPPIANS 3:10-14 “I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”  Jesus took hold of me. He grabbed me and held on tightly. He refused to let me go. Even though it brought him to the pain of the cross. Even …

2021 Devotions Week 50

ABRAHAM: OUR FOREFATHER IN FAITHGenesis 11, 12, 15, 17 Knowing what we know, this side of the cross, it is awesome to see God putting his plan in motion thousands of years before, by approaching this man, Abram. We know little of him, except that he has few reasons to pull up his tents and …

2021 Devotions Week 49

THE LARGENESS OF GODPSALM 131, 127, 121 I lift up my eyes to the mountains. Of course God is larger than the mountains. And Jesus once said that with faith we can even move mountains. But a mountain can be a good physical reminder how small we are. We can look up to the mountains …
