Psalm 88

Psalm 1 Why Psalm? What are Psalms?   Myles gives us some helpful tools and hints about walking through Psalms to grow deeply in relationship with God and to love others with the words of the Psalms.

Psalm 2 Ian introduces us to our series on the Psalms by delving into Psalm 2.

Philippians 2:1-11 Many Christian men want to lead their wives spiritually; Many Christian women want to be led spiritually by their husbands, however, it seems both are not sure what this looks like. Often times, what can result is a chaotic mess of unmet expectations. 

Psalm 127 There is a simple truth to the fact that so much of what goes on in our relational world happens in the home. Sometimes I am left wondering, “what are the homes we are actually building?” I also wonder if, at the end of the day, men and women get excited about being “homeward bound”. Is it possible, that over time we could grow weary of the simple pleasures that our homes bring, let alon...

2 Peter 1:3-11 Character is what defines you, character is what people see in you. It is what people will say about you after you pass away. Character is one of the most important things you have. When you read the things that men and women value in each other, it is character always matters in the end. Peter, as he writes, is reminding people that God has given us the power to live godly lives. W...

James 3:1-12 Proper speech. Do we ever get it right? Especially in our relationships. I cannot think of a finer passage that captures the pain that has been expressed from our people when it comes to the way we speak to each other. Often we might think if only I could take it back. The tongue is small yet it controls so much. Yes, we can praise God with it and curse God with it. Yes, we can say we...

Psalm 51 This message captures many of the thoughts and feelings that have been expressed, especially by men. Psalm 51 is a standout word, which speaks of confession and repentance from personal sin. What David is seeking, and I sense that many men are seeking, is to ask God to “blot out”, “wash away” and be “cleansed” (vs1-2). What David does is provide a list of wrongs that is meant to be compre...

Colossians 2:6-23 Paul says, “as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him”. If we are going to swim against the tide we must ensure that we are focused on Christ. The world wants us to ignore what we know and live a distracted life. Paul warned the Colossians against the additions they were being encouraged to make to their faith in Christ, such as philosophy, legalism, myst...

1 Corinthians 7:1-9 Sexologist Patricia Weerakoon speaks on you guessed it…Sex. How do we glorify God and respect each other as sexual beings, in relationships and as single people?

Collossians 1:24-2:5 Paul was prepared to give everything to his ministry. He suffered, laboured and struggled. How did he keep going? 

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 1 Corinthians is widely considered the greatest love passage in the Bible. What it does is identify various and diverse qualities of this most complex attitude, emotion and Christian virtue. Without love, everything else is worthless. The words from vs 4-7 describe love's nature, in language designed to point to how poorly the Corinthians were measuring up. Love is permanent....

Colossians 1:15-23 Jesus can and does make a tremendous difference in our life, however, we have to accept him first. In Paul’s time, many people felt forsaken by God; their local gods seem so impotent before the might of Rome and its vast growing empire. Paul called Christ “the image of the invisible God” (v15). It was in Christ that God was able to clarify people’s expectations as to who God was...

Psalm 139:1-18 Kelly Ballarie captures many of the thoughts from our women when she says, “May I admit something to you all? When I am at my worst, I doubt who I am. I doubt I am good. I doubt I am valuable. Some days, I know, I don't look an iota like Jesus. I look in the mirror, but his image I do not see. Instead, I see the image of a woman who is flawed, faulted and failing. I can be hard on m...

Colossians 1:1-14 The challenge to “live a life worthy of the Lord” (v10) is a constant call on the lives of Christians. It is God’s intention that Christians live and serve in whatever situation they may find themselves in “bearing fruit” (v9) while giving thanks to God for what he has done and continues to do in our lives. Being a Christian is something that affects our lives in both word and de...

Ephesians 4:1-6 As men and women, our Christianity is God-directed, Christ defined and others oriented. Christians are to extend to each other, love, service, humility, patience, gentleness and much much more. Above all else, we are called “to live a life worthy of our calling”
