Christians often feel that they know everything there is to know about Christ, but the Apostle Peter disagrees. He says we must not be static in this matter but "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ"(2 Pet. 3:18). This episode will help us experience this growth by considering the profound union with the triune God and with one another brought about by the incarnati...

This episode completes a two-part study of the Parable of the Sower, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit alone brings true spiritual fruit. We briefly review the first two soils—wayside and rocky, showing why each fails to sustain the seed, and here consider the two remaining soils—weed-infested and well prepared ('good'). We use the parable of the great banquet to illustrate how loving such things a...

The Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13) Part one. Although thousands of faithful preachers proclaim the gospel, the Holy Spirit is the ultimate sower of the gospel seed. Paul tells the Corinthians "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase". We also learn why some reject the gospel outright or fall away under trial. Practical takeaways include recognizing spiritual opposition, the need f...

We rightly celebrate the New Year but in our present chaotic world it will bring new fears that things will get worse rather than better. Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 is set against a similar backdrop of global unrest—wars, deception, persecution, pestilence, and rising lawlessness. In this episode Chris Boraston examines Jesus' advice to his disciples on how to survive hard times; beware deceive...

After a shortened reading, we review Paul's farewell message to the Ephesian Elders, reminding them how he had conducted himself during his three year ministry among them. In doing so he provides us with an outstanding role-model for Christian service and living, a model based firmly on the life and ministry of Christ himself. "Be followers of me" he says elsewhere, "as I am of Christ".

We celebrate the New Year but far better is the celebration of new life described by Paul; "If anyone is in Christ he is a new creation; the old has passed away behold the new has come." The sermon based on 1 cor. 6:11, explains the threefold work of the Holy Spirit by which sinners are transformed into saints (or true believers). They are washed (regenerated), sanctified (set apart), and justifie...

Apologies for brief audio gap at 16min 30sec This is part two of our Christmas Meditation and continues the theme of Christ's fulfilment of old testament prophecy but with emphasis on those scriptures that predicted his person and nature, namely his virgin birth, hid deity, his atoneing death and hiss exaltation to be King of kings and LORD of lords. We examine verses from Micah, Daniel and Isaiah...

Please note that "quotes" in final section are verse extracts strung together The author C. S. Lewis posed a trilemma which can be rendered, "Jesus was either mad, bad or God". He further argued, as we do here, that Jesus' unique moral teaching ruled out the first two alternatives. In this reading from the book "What is Man? Adam, alien or ape?" we examine the meaning of Christmas by focusing on J...

Acts 19:21–41. Pursuing his gospel ministry, Paul came under attack in Ephesus from the Jews who resented his preaching to the Gentiles, from the devotees of the pagan god Artemis (aka Diana) and from the silversmiths who grew rich selling images of Artemis. Arriving in Jerusalem he came under attack from the Jews in the temple and was arrested by the Roman authorities and eventually sent to Rome...

If you made an unfulfilled promise, how long would it be before you forgot it altogether? A month? A year? But God made a promise to Eve and repeated it through the ages to Abraham, Job, Moses, David, the Prophets and to John the Baptist. Now, in the fulness of time, He announces to Mary its impending fulfilment in the birth of Christ. It was an announcement that would change the world.

This episode is not the next in-depth exposition in the Book of Esther (that will come later) but a survey of the chapters (one to six) we have expounded over recent months.  A Christian family visiting our church from overseas turned out to know nothing about the Book of Esther, so instead of expounding the next section as I had planned, I gave an impromptu and unprepared review of the six chapte...

In Rev..2:1–7 Christ commends the church in Ephesus for their abundant works and faithful testimony in such a way that we might consider Ephesus to be a perfect church. Yet at the same time he threatens to remove its lampstand (close it down). What's the problem? Their works were indeed outstanding but their motivation for doing those works had ceased to be love for Christ. We turn to 1 Cor. 13 to...

Acts 19:1-20, record four events that occurred after Paul’s retured to Ephesus, each of which demonstrated the power of the gospel of Christ to transform people and situations to the glory of God. The events respectively banished spiritual ignorance,replaced a redundant Judaism, exposed spiritual fraud, and put an end to occultism, witchcraft and evil sorcery in Ephesus. The work of the Holy Spiri...
