Ephesians

Blessings – owed and given

by Pieter Swanepoel on December 1, 2019

Ephesians Chapter 1, verses 3 to 14 is one long sentence in the original Greek language. That immediately tells us that what Paul is starting within verse three is a part of the next 11 verses and we have to understand it in that way.These verses are so loaded with different doctrines, doctrines that we need to understand and apply in our lives as Christians in order to fully realise the privilege and benefits that we have “in Christ Jesus”.And all these doctrines are connected and cannot be separated from one another as they form the whole of our redemption in Christ Jesus.

Psalms

Our God, our Present Help in Trouble

by Brian Watts on November 10, 2019

Dear friends, it is fair to say that we live in troubling and difficult days. Days such as these can leave the believer disheartened and even questioning the The sovereignty of God at times. I, therefore, believe that it is necessary to give a Biblical response to these matters and I feel that Luther’s hymn and the Psalm of the Sons of Korah, as recorded in Psalm 46, offers the best answers to these struggles.

Genesis

Sin, Sovereignty and the Providence of God (Part 2)

by Brian Watts on November 3, 2019

This is the second occasion in our expositions of the Book of Genesis that we have moved beyond the Seven Days of Creation and considered some other portions of Scripture also still within Genesis. Our first move beyond chapter 1 was to consider God’s dealings with His servant Jacob and we find ourselves now once again beyond the bounds of chapter 1 considering the life of Joseph.
