GOOD FRIDAY By Pastor Scott Henry
Good Friday is a day when believers remember the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. It’s a day we remember how Christ became a curse on the cross (Gal. 3:13) for all those given to Him by the Father (John 6:37) in order that through His atoning work they...
ASH WEDNESDAY: PICKING AND CHOOSING OUR PIETY By Carl Trueman
It's that time of year again: the ancient tradition of Lent, kick-started by Ash Wednesday. It is also the time of year when us confessional types brace ourselves for the annual onslaught of a more recent tradition: that of evangelical pundits, with no affiliation to...
TRUE LOVE By Pastor Scott Henry
“But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another…” (1 Thessalonians 4:9). Paul told the Thessalonians, “But concerning brotherly love … you yourselves are taught by God to love one...
DEBT FORGIVENESS By Dr. Tim Savage
‘In him (Jesus) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us” (Ephesians 1:7-8). One definition of the word ‘forgiveness’ is ‘the canceling of a debt’. We, as humans, have...

GUARD YOUR TONGUE By Pastor Scott Henry
“Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles” (Proverbs 21:23). The easiest way for a person to sin is with the tongue. The restraining laws in our society prevent us from doing just anything we want, but it sure seems as if we can say anything...
SHOULD YOU MAKE A RESOLUTION? By Paul David Tripp
It's that time of year again when we examine what we don't like about our life and make a resolution to change it in the New Year. As the calendar turns from 2015 to 2016, we want to create a better version of ourselves. Some of us want to lose weight or get into...
KEEP YOUR TONGUE FROM EVIL By Pastor Scott Henry
“Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit” (Psalm 34:12-13). As Christians, our continual prayer should be that God would instruct our tongue at all times with five...
CONTINUE IN PRAYER by CH Spurgeon
