Let God Speak

Freedom and love are central to who God is and how He governs the universe. As we submit to God and His law of love, we experience true freedom from sin in our lives. Let’s investigate this further in today’s Bible study.

These days it is the scientists—not the religious people—who are preaching doom for our planet. People are worried, stressed, and fearful, as they are told to prepare for a bleak future filled with global unrest. But there is hope for the future, a bright hope. Where do we discover this bright hope of peace and rest? Have your Bible’s ready as we explore this important topic. Hosted by: Pr Clive N...

The name “Jonah” has entered into the English language as a proverb. To “be a Jonah” is a negative thing. Jonah, however, was actually a real person. Jesus himself spoke of the man. Today we will discover that Jonah was a restless prophet, but there is more that we can learn from his story. Have your Bible handy as we dig a little deeper into Jonah’s life.

The saying “There is no rest for the wicked” is used a lot in the workplace these days. It has adopted the meaning that we each need to keep working even if we are completely exhausted. In this busy and stressful world, we all yearn and long for peace and rest. So have your Bibles ready, as we explore what God says in His word about having true peace and rest.

The Christian God of the Bible has a special liking for the number seven. The seventh day was the sabbath day, the seventh year was the sabbatical year, and after 49 years (7 × 7) came the year of Jubilee. The seventh new moon was the day of trumpets, the seventh month of the year was for festivals. The Passover lasted seven days, seven weeks lie between Passover & Pentecost, and the Feast of...

Even before our human race would dash off to our self-imposed stressful lives, God placed a day each week as a marker, and as a living memory aid for rest. God wanted this day to be a time for us to stop and deliberately enjoy life—a day to be and not do, to celebrate the gift of grass; air; wildlife; water; people; and, most of all, Him: the Creator of every good gift. Today we are going explore...

Disease, sickness and pain can sometimes cause us to question if God is there, and make it difficult to experience the rest that God desires for us. Far from being distant in our pain and suffering, Jesus brings rest to our lives through acts of healing. Our Bible study today will investigate and reveal this.

Many stories have come to light through the media of people who have been able to forgive perpetrators of crime. The act of forgiveness has been healing both for the person forgiven, and for the one offering forgiveness. In this study, we will look at revenge and forgiveness not only through the eyes of Joseph in the Old Testament, but also Jesus Christ in the New Testament. So, have your Bible at...

In her classic 1960s prize-winning novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” American writer Harper Lee has her main character say “you can choose your friends but you sure can't choose your family.” Sometimes our relationships with family members can be difficult—to say the least! But we can find peace in such circumstances. Today we are going to look at a remarkable story of a young man who grew up in a t...

Our world is filled with busyness and stress. The burdens of life can feel too heavy to bear. Whether our burdens are extremely heavy, or relatively light, Jesus invites us to come to Him to find relief. Our Bible study today will reveal this.

The Bible states that “All we like sheep have gone astray” (Isaiah 3:6), “we have all sinned…” (Romans 3:23), and that “Sin separates us from God” (Isaiah 59:2). All is not lost, however. There is a means by which we can receive rest from the restlessness of a sinful life. Today we will briefly look into the life of David—the man after God’s own heart—to find out how he discovered the true cost of...

When Pr Clive Nash lived on a farm, his family noticed a strange behaviour in their hive of bees. The bees were located high up in the hollow of a eucalyptus tree. Pr Nash’s family could not understand why the bees were so restless and agitated. But the bees sensed something that the humans could not see. A little while later, a big branch fell from the tree. For the bees, that was a major event t...

This week we begin a new quarter of the year, and that means a new study series, this time called ‘Rest for the Restless.’ Our particular study today looks at biblical insights on ‘resting in God’ – particularly in light of the Sabbath promises found in the Bible.

Have you ever gazed up into a cloudless night sky and pondered the vastness of the universe? Some people consider this planet of ours is just an insignificant speck. Human beings don’t matter at all! But life does have meaning and purpose. Life has value to God, God became man in Jesus Christ. As one author has expressed it; “The one whose creation is measured in light years shrank into Someone me...

All of humanity battles with a sinful human nature. We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Yet, by accepting Christ’s death as a substitute for the death we deserve, we can stand worthy in the sight of God. Our Bible study today will reveal this.

The earthly sanctuary was a metaphor for the work of salvation within the old covenant. That old covenant was renewed by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In today’s lesson, we are going to discuss the sanctuary system, along with the work of salvation under the new covenant.  Hosted by: Rod Butler Guests: Colin Hone, Pr Adrian Craig   Download the study notes at this link: https://www.3...

We are going to explore this beautiful truth today.

Our subject today is “Covenant Law.” When greeted by the word “law,” it would be natural to think of restrictions, maybe police officers handing out traffic infringements, or judges prescribing jail sentences and other punishments. We usually associate law with punishments. In biblical terms, however, we should actually connect law with the positive attributes of order, harmony, stability, and lov...

The theme of the Exodus is vitally significant for Jews and Christians alike. God’s deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt after long periods of slavery has inspired many African-American spirituals and Christian songs. And, just like Israel of old, those who are saved by the grace of God are delivered from the slavery of sin. Today we will discuss God’s covenant at Mount Sinai and discover agai...

The covenant promises made to Abraham’s Seed follow the line of Israel, a lineage from which the long awaited Messiah came. Today we will look at the conditions outlined by the covenant and what happened when Israel failed to keep that covenant. We will also look at whether the covenant was restricted to any particular Country or group of people. And finally, what the take home message is for us,...

How are important are promises in your life? Are they like floating bubbles, still captivating the innerchild within us, yet pop so easily and are gone? Or are they considered really important in your life?

Today we continue our series on God’s covenants (or agreements) with humanity. So far, we have looked at the history of God’s dealings with us. He made this world and it was sinless. Then disobedience, sin and death came in. But hope was not lost, because God began disclosing His plan for redeeming and restoring fallen humanity. He disclosed this to Adam and Eve, to Noah, and to Moses. In today’s...

Today we are going to discuss what events transpired leading up to God bringing a worldwide flood on the earth.
