  • Running from the Lord (Jonah 1)

    Jonah disobeyed a plain command of God and then ran away  He wanted to find a place where he would have no reminders of the God he had disobeyed.  How does God deal today with believers who disobey his clear commands?

  • Distracted from Christ (9:28-36)

    Peter and the other disciples confessed that Jesus was the Christ, supreme over all.  And Jesus told them what his destiny was to be.  Yet when they saw Elijah and Moses in their splendour, they quickly forgot the lessons they had learned.  What distracts us from Christ?

  • History matters?

    Last week I went to the Grace Baptist Assembly.  It was sobering to listen to a pastor from Turkey describe the needs of Turkey. We need to ask questions about the past.  What went wrong?  Why did God send such spiritual famine? History is important.
