07/12/2008 - Morning	Genesis 40:1-23	Prophetic Dreams Joseoh is placed in prison by God's providence and he is placed there for a purpose. To serve the Lord. Joseph is a prophet fo the Lord, a seer, he points his fellow-prisoners to the Lord, not himself. To one he is the savour of life, to the other the savor of death. He is vindicated as a prophet, God's word, as stated is vindicated, Egypt will know there is a true prophet in its midst, with a message from God.
07/12/2008 - Evening	Luke 21:9-19	Phenomenal Signs & Persecuted Believers Don't be deceived by the wars, the disease, the starvation, even earthquakes and phenomena in the heavens, it's not yet, don't let these Premill's get you panicked.

The best way to protect yourself from deception? Educate yourself in the truth, God's authoritative word, the only truth
03/12/2008 - Afternoon	Titus 3:12-15	The Conclusion to the Letter The Apostle's distribution of manpower left no room for maverick's, it was deliberate, concentrated. The manpower was distributed according to the greatest needs and the churches were required to stand on the front line with the missionaries. Paul finishes with a disposition of love towards even those who no longer loved him as they once did. He began and finishes with grace, which alone enables God's folk anywhere to be what they ought to be.
30/11/2008 - Morning	Genesis 39:11-23	Hell Hath No Fury See here the plain course of sin, the woman persists in spite of the rejections of Joseph. she becomes controlled, taken over by her lust. Joseph's takes only escape route open to him, he runs. His reward for persistent faithfulness? Punishment and shame, locked up and shackled. But then that was God's intention, in protective custody. The place where he would meet those who knew the king and introductions that would lead to his exaltation.
30/11/2008 - Afternoon	Luke 21:5-13	Fairy Tale Philosophies & False Religion Take heed? Lest you be deceived by the world's fairy tale philosophies, Darwinism, modernism or post-modernism. Or by by false religions, especially by the movement of modern evangelicalism towards Rome! Don't be deceived it is still the seat of the Anti-Christ! Nor by the false prophets, with their end-time predictions, in and out of the church. Take heed! You've been warned.
26/11/2008 - Afternoon	Titus 3:9-11	The Creation of Contention & Strife The church must be guarded against everything that causes disturbance of the fellowship, foolish controversies, distracting us from the real work. A wise separation must be implemented when the controversialist will not be brought to belief in the truth. Once, twice, then out the door, no more of it! Rest assured such perversion of truth comes from the father of lies, the devil. Paul writes as a man with much church experience and under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
23/11/2008 - Morning	Genesis 39:7-11	Tempted Yet Without sin The temptation of Joseph was to his youthful lust, to a more honourable position in Egypt, the sky's the limit? But big trouble if he declines the offer. It was only because of his walk with the Lord, knowing the holy character of his God, and conscious that this sin would be a real offense to God. In the modern scene? Adultery is good to go. Boring marriage? Have an affair. If believers don't keep marriage happy, exciting, romantic sexually, they're looking for a fall. Only maintaining a close walk with the Lord will guarantee protecting of yourself and your marriage. Grace alone!
23/11/2008 - Evening	Luke 21:1-4	The Antithesis of Worldliness The poor widow furnishes us with a sincere expression of faith, true worship, over against the glaring hypocrisy of the religious establishment, with its worldly wisdom. It's not by bread alone we live, and certainly not by unbelief, it's not material things that matter. But a life given over to God, wholly, entirely through Jesus Christ.
19/11/2008 - Afternoon	Titus 3:1-8	The Constant Witness of a Transformed Life In submission to the governmental authority ordained of God, being a good citizen amongst the citizens of this earth.

16/11/2008 - Morning	Genesis 39:1-6	The Dynamic in Joseph's Life The Lord was with Joseph, deliberating guiding him down to Egypt, even to Potiphar's house. There he prospered and protected him. That the Lord was with Joseph, even Potiphar could see, that was evidence enough, all Potiphar, and unbeliever needs and leaves them without excuse. But further evidence of the Lord's presence is seen in Joseph's victorious struggle. God blessed Joseph, and all he was doing within the Egyptian household, but the blessing was Joseph's in particular, no common grace. Listen up!
16/11/2008 - Evening	Luke 20:39-47	Great David's Greater Son After silencing his enemies, this association of evil, he takes the battle to them, he questions them. Referring to King David, and his reference to his Lord, Jesus poses the question to them, yet again, who do they say he is? The ultimate question, get it wrong? Curtains! Following this further exposition of his Person, he delivers a stark warning to them against their sanitized worldliness, their sanctimonious greed, he seriously warns them, the damnation that awaits them! Where's preaching like this today?
12/11/2008 - Afternoon	Titus 2:11-15	The Summary of Sound Doctrine The revelation of grace to all men but not applied to all men. But to those chosen in sovereign grace, enabled by grace to believe and to persevere to the finish. This is grace that transforms, purifies the life and soul of the believer.

02/11/2008 - Morning	Genesis 39:1	The Dearest Idol Joseph is brought down to Egypt! But why? Because of Jacob. Have you ever prayed the words of Cowper's hymn, the dearest idol I have known, what'er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne and worship only Thee? And has it ever crossed your mind what it might take to remove it? God has an agenda! To make his people fit for heaven, nothing, no matter how long it takes, will stand in his way. Joseph, for Jacob's future usefulness in God's service and fitness for heaven, had to be removed.
02/11/2008 - Evening	Luke 20:27-38	In the Resurrection There are deniers of the resurrection in every generation, it's what natural man has always believed. When your dead your dead! That's the philosophy of dead men. But God is the God of the living, he told Moses that at the burning bush. He's the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob, those who passed from this world's scene, but were alive then, both to, and in God. No, one day for the believer, he will be raised, body & soul reunited in the glory of heaven, changed, not the same, and changed forever!
26/10/2008 - Morning	Genesis 38:1-30	Is This of Thy Whoredoms a Small Matter? The vision-less & selfish church which has strayed from God's covenant is hardened, loses its discernment. Its vices are seen here too, perfidious whoredom, gone after other lovers. The promiscuous increase, it expands, has children, but its offspring are unregenerate, fit for nothing but judgement. The fruit ecumenical madness, atrocious evangelism led for decades by an apostate evangelist, Dr. Bily Graham. Then there's the peril of accommodation, losing its distinctives, corrupted by intermarriage with heathen idolaters!
26/10/2008 - Evening	Luke 20:19-26	What Things Belong to Who? The tactics and opposition of the Sanhedrin council, these things belonged to Satan, most clearly. The spirit of anti-Christ was in them. The things which belong to Caesar, are a submissive attitude, certainly a spirit of gratitude, and especially when we enjoy the benefits of a safe and well-ordered society. For the latter is the duty of the state, to keep law and order.The things which be God's? Again a submissive attitude, for he is sovereign over all. We bow the knee to God but not the state. We obey the state as long as the states will does not clash with God's.
23/10/2008 - Afternoon	Romans 3:10	The Only Comfort in an Evil World The misery of man in this world, pain, suffering, pain, sickness & death. What will make for his comfort in the midst of all these evils in life, then the ultimate, death, He must needs know from whence it comes, the enormity of his own depravity, and the only One who can deliver him from such. These miseries are the universal experience of all men. We all know that there's a serious defect in humanity, but what is the cause and are we prepared to acknowledge it, the universal moral corruption in us all. It’s everywhere you look. All our attempts to drown it in whatever way is of no avail. Only one way out! Listen & find out!
22/10/2008 - Afternoon	Titus 2:2-10	The Standards Set for the Congregation The sound doctrine Titus is to preach amongst the Cretans, will have an effect, amongst the seniors, the juniors, it will even affect them in their place of work, i.e., employee and employer relationships.The elderly, both male and female will conduct themselves so as to be an example the younger.

19/10/2008 - Morning	Genesis 38:12-30	The Righteous Whore Judah's casual sex-life continues, trapped in idolatry amongst an idolatrous people, all except for one person, Tamar, she's a Canaanite, she plays the whore, but she is righteous, all the way to Jesus Christ in the New Testament, the covenant line runs. Amazing! Astonishing! Grace!
19/10/2008 - Evening	Luke 20:1-18	The Wicked Tenants Jesus versus the Sanhedrin council, one of them has got to go, these two cannot live together. Which will it be? The question of authority, heaven or earthly? Well, they're the religious hierarchy, they are the very ones that should know, but their arrant cowards so they won't answer the question themselves. They had been entrusted with a stewardship that bore no fruit, what will the Landlord do with them? There is a great big Stone rolling in their direction and it's going to utterly pulverize them!
15/10/2008 - Afternoon	Titus 2:1	The Sound Teaching Needed by the Congregation Titus must, over against the rebels of chapter one, continues doing what he has previously been doing, teaching sound, wholesome, healthful doctrine, that is. This is the education in the truth Paul has been espousing already, that deals with not just pulling down of error, heresy etc., but positive, powerful preaching, from which the congregation gets its energy for good, wholesome, Christian living.
12/10/2008 - Morning	Genesis 38:1-11	Judah Went Down From the covenant home to the world to the idolaters, it wasn't long before Judah's life was steeped in and controlled by idolatry too. Captured by lust, his children taken in judgement, he shirks his responsibilities to his daughter-in-law, just down and down. This, when a man walks out on God.
09/10/2008 - Afternoon	Romans 8:37	A Gift of Love God's entire creation's founded on love, he made people for love, but has evinced his love more particularly in his Son, the Creator-Redeemer, the express image of God and his love. It is through the gift of God that people can be brought to experience the power of his love, transforming them into creatures of love.
05/10/2008 - Evening	Luke 19:41-48	If Thou Hadst Known Even at this late stage there is a possibility of peace with God for the Jews, but the door of grace is closing fast, who'll get through it before it finally closes? The closure is coming Jesus says, with such cataclysmic results, not a man, women or child, not a stone will be left untouched in God's judgement upon them! The second symbolic act in Jerusalem, the holy City, the Lord of the Temple comes to it and finds a market place, and den of thieves instead of a place of divine spiritual worship. What will he do with it? What will he do with churches today that bear no resemblance to spiritual worship? Listen and learn!
02/10/2008 - Afternoon	Mark 1:1	There is Some Good News Gospel means good news, but it's only good news if you see yourself in the mirror of God's word. The mirror on the wall's a liar, it only sees the outside, the image. God looks on the heart, what he sees is not nice, sin. But the good news is he, in love, has done something to remedy the heart problem.
01/10/2008 - Afternoon	Titus 1:5-9	The Pastor's Qualities What are the qualities for any church officer? Well, here Paul makes it clear. He's a man not on his own, he has other brethren officers, pluraity, no one-man bands. He's a man of integrity, one wife, no sexual laxity. He is a man who knows, stands upon the truth of God's word, and implements the same in the body of Christ.

28/09/2008 - Morning	Genesis 37:1-11	They Hated Him Without a Cause Joseph wasn't just the preferred son of Jacob, he was the favourite of heaven. He testified to what God prophetically revealed to him, causing the wrath, malice and hatred of his brothers, which in the over-ruling providence of God was the means of bring about exactly what happened to Joseph. He was taken through the crucible, but all the way he knew the end was glory, was exaltation, he believed what God had revealed to him.
28/09/2008 - Evening	Luke 19:28-40	The King is Coming...But In a symbolic act, riding an asses colt into Jerusalem the King comes to present himself to the royal City.

21/09/2008 - Morning	Genesis 36:1-43	The Generations of Esau What on earth can you get out of a list of names? You would be surprised! Then maybe not, because it's God's word. The dreadful consequences for Esau's family as a result of his unchanged heart, still contemptuous towards God and his covenant. But, if God keeps his promise to an ungodly man, and he does, how much more will he keep his word to his own covenant people?
21/09/2008 - Evening	Luke 19:11-27	When the King Returns He is going away into a far country, to be crucified raised, ascended, but after a long time he will come back again. In the meantime he has left something behind, that's common to all in his church, his word. When he returns, what will they have done with it. Some will have openly refuted, rejected it, and they will be judged accordingly. His own covenant children, will they have used his word faithfully, wisely and fruitfully, their degree of reward will hang on this one factor, not the fruitfulness, but their faithfulness, to that word.
19/09/2008 - Afternoon	Luke 19:41	The Way of Peace The unchangeable Saviour's desire for obdurated, impenitent sinners in Jerusalem is that they would find the way of peace, himself that is. Has he changed? Is he not the Lord that changes not? Is not his heart cry today, that you should find the way of peace?
14/09/2008 - Morning	Genesis 35:9-29	Magnificent Grace! The worship of the covenant community is a reflection of God's face in to the world. When we don't worship God according to his own agenda, we alter his face. When we reduce it to a rock n roll lest the clear message we give the world is that God's just like them. He's not!
14/09/2008 - Evening	Luke 19:1-10	Seeking & Saving the Lost The sinner was seeking himself, he had the right attitude and he sought in the right place, where the Saviour could be found. But all this, only because there was a Saviour who was seeking him. All the while Zaccheus was known to God, from eternity. He got saved! There was strong evidence to back this up, the restitution he was willing, desired to make evinced the reality of his faith in Jesus. He was restored to God's covenant favour.
07/09/2008 - Morning	John 21:1-25	Peter's Fall & Restoration It was his self-confidence, self-assurance that contributed to Peter's downfall. But the Saviour in grace comes in a confrontational manner, not to condemn or destroy but in order to restore him to his rightful place as a disciple and apostle of Jesus Christ.
24/08/2008 - Morning	Genesis 35:1-8	The Return to God God speaks a Fatherly rebuke to Jacob, sending him back to Bethel where he ought to have been a while back. His fellowship with God is restored and reformation takes place within the covenant family, and again the blessing begins to flow.
24/08/2008 - Evening	Luke 18:35-43	Blind Bartimaeus With a persistent faith which expected help from and embraced and exalted Christ, his request was granted and more.

17/08/2008 - Morning	Genesis 34:20-31	Thou Shalt Not Kill, Nor Steal The proposed peace deal of the shechemites is simply a means of gratifying their own lust, the cultural genocide of Israel. It is not to add to Israel, or extend the true knowledge of God, but bring Israel down to their heathen idolatry and away from God. Yet the massacre and the pillaging enacted by Jacob's sons can in no way be condoned or justified. All the cost, the result of a man, Jacob, not being right with his God.
17/08/2008 - Evening	Luke 18:31-34	Living On Death Row God's revelation in the Old Testament predicted the sufferings of the Saviour, now about to be accomplished. He, himself prophesies here his being hand over the Gentiles, the Romans, to the world's judiciary, where openly and legally they would pronounce him innocent, yet kill him. After the third day he would be vindicated by his resurrection from the dead. Christ mad full complete satisfaction for the sins of his people.
10/08/2008 - Morning	Genesis 34:6-19	Folly Not to Be Wrought in Israel The folly, the wickedness of sexual sin, so prevalent in the church today. The Folly of ungodly mergers, ecumenical madness, interfaith lunacy. The folly, the wickedness of sacramental deceit, circumcised, or baptised paganism. Such wickedness ought not to be wrought in the church today, any day.
10/08/2008 - Evening	Luke 18:18-30	The Iniquitous Power of Wealth See here the Saviour engage in proper, thorough evangelistic preaching. With a penetrating application of the Law, which alone reflects absolute goodness, the moral excellence of God himself. But the power of the self life, the things of this life, exclude this man from the eternal life he so superficially enquired after. But if it's impossible for a rich man to enter, who then can be saved. For we all desire riches, so who then can be saved, and how? Listen and find out!
08/08/2008 - Afternoon	Exodus 20:3	No Other God's God warns, threatens, promises & commands. The entirety of his revelation is given for our benefit.

So there's vices prohibited and there's virtues promoted, all to make us wise unto salvation, through faith, which is in Jesus Christ.
06/08/2008 - Afternoon	Haggai 2:6-9	The Shaking of All Things The One with the power shake the universe, in a little while, will arrest the attention of all the nations.

His peace shall progress from this seemingly insignificant work, the unfolding glory of his grace shall spread through the nations, till that moment, the grand finally, the consummation of his kingdom, with the second advent of the Son of God.
03/08/2008 - Morning	Genesis 34:1-5	To Obey is Better Than Sacrifice Why is Jacob at Shechem when he was clearly told where to go? Does it Matter? Is it a small thing? It wrought utter havoc to others, his family, himself, and oh dear, his poor daughter Dinah!
03/08/2008 - Evening	Luke 18:9-17	The Faith That Justifies The Pharisee, went to pray, but never made it into the presence of God. He went home satisfied, self-satisfied. The Publican with his agonising cry pierced the holy of holies, the very heart of God. He went home justified, justified by God. The Pattern? Childlike, unassuming simpicity and unquestioning trust.
30/07/2008 - Morning	Haggai 2:1-5	The Spirit's Remaining (2) What are the marks of the Spirit's presence remaining amongst God's people, can we really know for sure. The Apostle John affirms that we most certainly can.
27/07/2008 - Morning	Genesis 33:1-20	Having Power With God & Men God's grace working in & on behalf of Jacob, transforms the mind-set of his profane brother, Esau.A reconciliation takes place on familial basis, but their can be no fellowship, between light & darkness, no amalgamation.

27/07/2008 - Evening	Luke 18:1-8	The Inducement to Pray In the last days as the church begins to long for one of the days of the Son of Man, provoked by the intensity of the suffering, there is only one way the Christian will be kept from feinting, losing heart & giving up. Persevering in prayer.
23/07/2008 - Afternoon	Haggai 2:4-5	The Evidence of the Spirit's Remaining The Lord's people are assured of the presence of God by his Spirit and therefore encouraged to work. But how do we know the Holy Spirit's presence is with us, what is the evidence of it?
22/07/2008 - Afternoon	Mark 9:23	If Thou Canst Believe! Believing that is, in Christ alone, his willingness and power to save. The question is not can, will or is Jesus able to save you.

20/07/2008 - Morning	Genesis 32:24-32	Face to Face With God The prevailing and persevering prayer of Jacob, overcomes the Almighty, brings his to submission, why?

20/07/2008 - Evening	Luke 17:32	Remember Lot's Wife! She was an unbeliever in spite of the fact that she had all the privileges and promises of the covenant community, in spite of the company of the holy man Abraham, her own righteous husband, the judgement of God over-ran her. Don't forget, Lot's wife!
16/07/2008 - Afternoon	Haggai 2:1-5	The Promise of the Spirit The spiritual priotities need getting right, the worship of God then the work of God. To resurrect them from the spirit of discouragement, they are assured of God's remaining with them and his Spirit's presence to assist. Fear ye not!
13/07/2008 - Morning	Genesis 32:9-32	The Divine Wrestler Jacob commits his way to the Lord, then with luxurious gifts, seek to appease Esau.

09/07/2008 - Afternoon	Haggai 1:12-15	The Lord's Presence The people's response of repentance produced by the word of God, brought an equally positive response from the Lord, 'I am with you'. The end result? A renewed attitude to the word and the work of God, blessing!

04/07/2008 - Afternoon	John 3:36	He That Believeth! It's plain, it's simple, a child can grasp it. Two classes of people, that's all God sees, those that believe and those that don't. The former has everlasting life! The latter does not, the wrath of God abideth upon them.
02/07/2008 - Afternoon	Haggai 1:1-12	Time to Reform The time is not yet, say this people, plenty time to build their own houses, but not the Lord's.

22/06/2008 - Morning	Genesis 31:36-55	Except the Lord Had Been With Me Except God had been with Jacob he would never come thro' the twenty years of hardship, and persecution of Laban.

22/06/2008 - Evening	Luke 17:20-21	The Kingdom of God The Kingdom defined, the signs of its presence and the implications for church, believer and for unbeliever also.
