Daniel 8-10
It’s comforting to read Daniel’s admission in 8:27 that the vision, even after the explanation, was “beyond understanding”! How true!
I think it’s better to focus on what is clear – how good is Daniel’s prayer of confession in chapter 9?! What a great understanding he has of his people’s sin and his God’s righteousness. [...] [...]

This week’s Bible Talk took us to Hebrews 6:13-7:28 where we saw that in Christ we have a sure anchor for our soul. Our eternity is certain because he has gone ahead of us having dealt with sin once and for all.

Isaiah 52-56
WOW! Y’know I read chapters like these and I think how can anyone who reads this and knows that it was written hundreds of years before Jesus walked the earth NOT see that he is the one being described in such staggering and awesome detail?! How is it that when Jesus came and proclaimed [...] [...]

This question refers to Hebrews 5:4 “No-one takes this honour upon himself; he must be called by God just as Aaron was”. The [...] [...]

Ezekiel 22-24
Man! One thing is abundantly clear from these chapters: God is ANGRY! I reckon this makes a lot of us at least a little bit uncomfortable. And yet what would the alternative be? For God to turn a blind eye against the rebellion and immorality and unfaithfulness of the people he’d made his own? [...] [...]

This week’s Bible Talk took us to Hebrews 3:1-4:13 where we saw that God promises we can enter his rest through trust in Jesus – so we mustn’t harden our hearts to his promises but believe them – and encourage each other to [...] [...]

Lamentations 3-5
I guess reading a book called “Lamentations” you should expect it to be a bit depressing. But this is full-on! It makes me realise how much I take my good/easy/blessed life for granted. If God treated me as my sins deserve… it would be a completely different story! So I feel that reading Lamentations [...] [...]

This week’s Bible Talk took us to Hebrews 2:5-18 where we saw that Jesus became a man to fulfill the calling God gave humankind, and to become a substitute able to pay for our sins. He enters our misery so we can share [...] [...]
