Deuteronomy has been described as The Gospel according to Moses. In it, Moses encourages the Israelites to faith, not disbelief like when they refused to go into the promised land. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/I8MCqWB8hPQ

"What does it mean to be a Christian?” It means to know Christ, who is our life. Not merely doing things for God, but by faith God doing things in us. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/Z4052AA4egw

We ought to love God and love our neighbour as ourselves. To do that, we need Jesus. To see people trust in Christ, we need to pray and preach the gospel. Then, as we live it out, people will glorify God, love one another, and society will be changed. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvnHNfvJAkg

A confession of faith, or a confessional statement, is an act of worship, putting guardrails around what the church's elders are to hold to, for the good of the church and the glory of God. Watch here on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/MJt__ZpG6cY

Eldership is one of Christ's gifts to the church. We need to select elders with care, and they will care for us. Ultimately our great pastoral care is from Christ himself. Watch Here on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/aScRIn9Y610

Don't be afraid of AI. We can use it wisely. But the least intelligent human is far more glorious than the most advanced artificial intelligence. Let's use it but not be dominated by it. Let's celebrate our humanity, made in the image of God, and worship him.

There are many ways in which we can harmed spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. Jesus refers to many thieves who want to kill and destroy. But he is our Good Shepherd who laid down his life for us. Let us stay close to him, listening to his voice and following him.

As we struggle through many trials in this life, let us not be overcome by them. Instead, let us look to Christ Jesus, and consider the glory that is ahead which far outweighs our present problems. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/wLRQTfSxrwU

Many people think of giving to church as burdensome. Paul taught that it was an act of worship. If we love God, our hearts and wallets will be in line with his purposes and his work. We ought to give joyfully and regularly to the work of the Lord.

When Jesus brings us to green pastures, let us not be distracted by far off fields appearing greener. Let us enjoy the scenery, smell the flowers, delight in the good things of God, his nature and his creation. And we will appreciate, and be content in, our triune God all the more.

Stand firm in the Lord, by rejoicing and giving thanks in all circumstances, and praying instead of worrying. Keep looking to God, and peace will follow. Watch Here on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/6z7KWGyq-GU

We can always do better in the Christian life. But we are further than when we first started. Let us press on, in faith, looking forward to the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/QdqTi--Mjr0

Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, all his followers will be too, in due course. Since his resurrection is assured through the testimony of God's Word and many witnesses, we have complete assurance of future glory, if we have entrusted our lives to Jesus.

The cross was not just an isolated event in human history, occurring a long time ago - it was planned before the world was created, and has eternal implications. It is the basis of our justification, healing and hope, in Christ Jesus. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/YAFJ5EYxLIo

Jesus willingly went to the cross to suffer for our sin. The Father and the Son both loved us through the awful necessity of the cross for our forgiveness. Let us praise and thank God, glorying only in the cross. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/fmIq5uzgggc

Phil Orr shares with us about the work of Logos Ministries International, as well as preaching from Colossians 4:2-6. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/wIrEg4WMBnY

Jesus was rejected by the religious leaders, the government, the crowd and mocked by the soldiers. His rejection, however, was for our acceptance. And his followers will suffer for his name's sake too. But we rejoice because of the glory ahead. Watch here on youtube - https://youtube.com/live/AsOHserZ_20

Jesus' trial before the council (Sanhedrin) was unjust, but necessary, for him to be put to death as a substitute for our sin. Peter's denial, an informal trial in the courtyard, increased Jesus' abandonment and suffering. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/QU_3lBt7j38

Stephen Houston from Asia Link encourages us in the compassion of the Lord and the command to go and take the gospel to the world. Watch Here: https://youtube.com/live/pR4hbFAvqoI

Instead of rejoicing in the Lord, we often feel pride or shame. Let's draw close to Jesus and not let these things get in the way. Let's take our pride and our shame and leave these burdens at the foot of the cross, rejoicing instead in the Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:19-30.

We can see and serve Christ in the ordinary matters of fellowship with one another. Let us honour Christ, as we see him at work in others. Let us honour him above all. Philippians 2:19-30 Watch here on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/YX3rIdrAm6w and https://youtube.com/live/Lxzp2dZl_9E

Robert (Bob) Hamilton encourages us to live godly lives, shining as stars in a spiritually dark world. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/zRvSCB0T9zI

Strength and being able to stand together in the Christian life relies on unity in the Spirit, which is found by not just believing the right doctrines, but by living the Christian character, by living like Christ, by having Christ's presence among us, to the glory of God.

Paul shows us how suffering can result in good, especially if it is for the cause of Christ. With a Christ-centred mindset we can face suffering, even persecution, with a different mindset. All to the glory of God, and out of love for Christ. Watch: https://youtube.com/live/1YIlDSXtnvU Watch Here on Youtube: https://youtube.com/live/1YIlDSXtnvU
