The Peace Of God
The Peace Of God Pr Edi Giudetti 22-12-2019 The letter of Colossians is written to those who know the Lord, those of have Peace With God now, and able to share in the Peace Of God. And it is a peace that passes all understanding, a peace contrary to anything the world can ever find without him. 1. Determine To Permit The Peace Of God (and let) The passage we have before us has, as its context, a contrast to that which is before. A manner of…
Go In Peace
Go In Peace Pr Edi Giudetti 15-12-2019 Many might be the days of our week that can be filled with fear and distress, discomfort of diverse kinds. Questions that might arise from deep within us that we don’t even understand. They affect us in ways that we don’t like and we long for comfort. To those who know the Lord there is a refuge, a shelter to hide under in times of need. The Lord gathers us as a hen…
The Beauty Of Holy Worship
There is a beauty in the holy worship of the Lord that goes perfectly astray with the contemporary Christian Music of the majority of today’s churches. The replacement of Holy Worship with rock music is the complete antithesis to that which the Lord has commanded.
The explicit purpose of contemporary music is to separate people from God, the guise of Christian Contemporary Music is a smokescreen.
Brother Phillip brings out the high view of God that we ought to retain. We tend to have a high view of ourselves and a low view of God, this must change if we are to realise the Beauty of Holy Worship.
The Changeless Christ
God does not change, he never changes, he is immutible, it is a theological term we employ to describe one aspect of Gods Character. Together with his character is his word and promises, being as perfect as he is, they too never change.
Growing In God
Grow in the Grace and Knowledge of God But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18 Introduction: As many of you may know from my testimony, my walk with the Lord hasn’t been as faithful as it is today. For long periods of time I wasn’t reading my bible and consequently I wasn’t growing. Yet in March 2014, when I…
I Will Call Them My People Which Were Not My People
“I Will Call Them My People Which Were Not My People” Romans 9:25, Paul the apostle quoting the book of Isaiah referring to the Israelites, the disobedient and gainsaying people, but also an allusion to you and I.
Unlike Israel, gentiles could never make the claim that we were ever Gods people. If we were brought not nigh by the blood of Christ, we too should have been ‘like unto Sodoma and made like unto Gomorrah’.
But we were brought nigh, we were not the people of God, but faith in Christ turned us about. So too will it be for Israel, a remnant indeed shall be saved.
The Riches Of His Glory
Perhaps it may seem unusual for the Bible to describe the manifestation of the riches of the Glory of God as that represented in his sovereignty as it does so wonderfully in Romans 9:14-24, yet that is exactly how Paul ascribes the manner in which The Lords Glory is known.
Child Of The Promise
God had made a unilateral promise to Israel for the land they are in today. His promise was made evident in his word and through this incredible people, his promise is sure and we have all the evidence we need to know he keeps his promises.
Israel are the ‘Children of the promise’, each person who has believed on the Lord Jesus Christ is a ‘Child of the promise’, his promises to us are also sure.
Great Heaviness For The Lost
Paul speaks to his deep and great heaviness and continual sorrow for his brethren, the nation of Israel. He goes further than perhaps any other person respecting his desire for them, willing even to be “accursed from Christ” for his brethren.
It is in this that we might wonder about our own burden for the lost. Do we sorrow for the state of family members? Are we concerned about the eternal reality of hell and that which will claim their end? Paul was willing to be damned for their sake, what are we willing to endure?
