Windy day = Horrible audio, sorry!

We haven't looked at Isaiah for a bit. Let's try to pick up from Chapters 19 & 20.

Peter wants to remind us of two things. God's word produces godly character. And God's word is God's word.

We continue on in 1 Peter Chapter 5 looking at what the Bible says to elders, leaders, pastors of God's flock and God's church in Christ.

I think we might have a double-bill today if we can manage it. We'll start with this passage first in Numbers 27.

Back after a while. Hopefully, the new power cord fixed the problem with the streaming.

Noisy start to the morning as the street cleaners get busy cleaning in the Cambridge city centre. I'll be reading 1 Peter 3 in front of them, the ducks and King's college chapel.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

End of Sunday, late (at least for me) and just squeezing in a reading before the end of the day.

Live this Sunday morning at Midsummer Common

In this week’s study of Isaiah Chapters 3 to 4, we find God speaking to the men and women of Zion, confronting each gender with their respective struggles and sins, in terms that each could understand. It was picture language of course, as much of what God said to the men applied to the women as well, and vice versa. But as we learned in the previous chapters of Isaiah, identifying the idols of ou...

Burnt my pizza. Had ice-cream. Food coma descending on me. Decided to read Numbers 14. Almost forgot to vote. Watch the video: https://youtu.be/1nzRRSqQDBQ

THE NEED OF SCRIPTURE, AS A GUIDE AND TEACHER, IN COMING TO GOD AS A CREATOR.

Preached at the Chinese Church in August 2012

Being the good news person doesn't mean people will appreciate or even believe you. If anything Numbers 12 and 13 reminds us you might be rejected, envied and disbelieved precisely because of your humility and your integrity. It was the case for Moses. It was the case for Caleb. But isn't that an encouragement to speak out all the more and not to be silent?

So went back to church last Sunday. For what it's worth, this was what happened, what it felt like and why I think we should consider going back in where it's possible and safe to do so.

We're hearing a lot of Hebrews 10 being quoted - now especially as churches are opening up again and Christians being encouraged to come back physically to Sunday services. There is much that is good and right about this, especially from the text. But it is worth being cautious about pushing this agenda further than the author intends.

The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

A lot of complaining happens in this Chapter. One results in death (well, actually two deaths!). The other, in God's Spirit poured out on God's people.

Psalm 46

Numbers 10

THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD CONSPICUOUS IN THE CREATION, AND CONTINUAL GOVERNMENT OF THE WORLD.

Recorded LIVE at Midsummer Common, Cambridge on Instagram. There is a strange appeal to rituals - whether it's priests in a temple or the kind of cups we use for communion. But Hebrews 8 points to rituals from the Old Testament, done by men here on earth, that point upward to something actually real, something actually happening even right now - done by Jesus, carried out before God, making us, so...

Numbers 9 | Psalm 45
