How Not to Fret in a Wicked World (Pt 1) - Psalm 37:1-22

'Fret not,' says the psalmist. Easy for him to say? Not necessarily. King David faced a world of threats and trials, as did his greater son, the Lord Jesus. They minister to us in this psalm, explaining how it is that we can avoid fretting and worrying at the state our world is in.

Building Up to Deliverance - Exodus 6:9-7:7

Strictly speaking, parts of Exodus 5-7 don't move the story on. We know what's coming; why haven't we gotten to it?! Yet, build-up anticipates deliverance. These passages make unmistakably clear who God is and why he is about to do what he will do for his people.

'Now You Shall See What I Will Do' - Exodus 6:1-8

After Moses' initial disappointment at Pharaoh's refusal to let the people go, the LORD God reassures Moses that he will act to deliver his people - just as he had promised long ago to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, centuries beforehand. The Exodus is powerful proof that our God keeps his covenant promises, and is also a sign-post to the greater fulfilment of those promises in the coming of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

Why, Why, Why?! - Exodus 5:1-23

Moses obeys God - and everything seems to get worse. In this chapter we consider three questions, one each asked by Pharaoh, the Israelites and Moses. Like each of them we're often left asking, 'Why?'

God's Sovereignty in Salvation - Acts 8:26-40

God surprisingly sends Philip from Samaria - where there are new converts, the coming of the Holy Spirit and conflict with evil - to the desert. Yet there, in the desert, God had a single soul to whom Philip brought the gospel. God is sovereign over every single soul in salvation.

The Mission Continues - Acts 8:1-25

The death of Stephen, the first martyr, is a pivotal moment for the fledgling New Testament Church. it would have been a moment of heartache and concern - and yet, the mission Jesus had given his church must and does continue. In fact, through the death of Stephen, a new phase of the mission begins.

Stephen's Witness - Acts 7:1-8:4

Stephen was the first New Testament believer to lose his life for preaching the gospel. What was it about his preaching that so infuriated his opponents? And what possible good does God bring about in the death of his saints?

Stephen's Exeprience - Acts 6:8-15

What should we take away from the treatment Stephen received for his gospel witness? Even if we never find ourselves in his exact position, we ought to consider carefully his experience.

Stephen's Character - Acts 6:8-15

Stephen deserves our respect and admiration. Before giving us the record of what he said when on trial, Luke draws our attention to how Stephen was filled with the Spirit - and the impact it had on his character and witness.

Set Apart to Serve - Acts 6:1-7

Problems in the church don't have to finish the church; in God's providence, they might actually lead to pivotal progress.
