Christianity is not merely a dry religion - it is a supernatural transformation of a believer, which Jesus Christ said would be made possible by the filling of the Holy Spirit. This transformation is also called a conversion and results in a change of heart, mind and conduct. This series explores how a believer can know God more intimately through experiencing and demonstrating the 'fruit' that co...

David was a shepherd - he knew what it was to be a 'good shepherd'. In John 10:1-18, Jesus describes Himself as a 'good shepherd'. David's description of 'sheep' in Psalm 23 are described as utterly helpless and defenseless without having access to the protection of a shepherd. David felt like this when he was a young man - but then he realised that GOD was his shepherd. David's relationship with...

This is a later development of the events described in Second Samuel 22:1-3. After King David had become King, he enlarged the prayer of this event into a psalm with a new first-line: "I love You Lord!" 'Love' was not the usual emotion expressed in pagan worship of their 'gods'. This Psalm commences as a personal testimony ("I" and "me") and breaks out into praise of God with "He" and "His". Psalm...

The first of the five books of the Book of Psalms are psalms largely written by King David. In Psalm 15 David describes how GOD transforms those who know Him into righteous people.

The Bible teaches that we can know GOD. This is an exposition of Psalm 10 in which we consider “a blessed life”? Is ‘success’ or ‘prosperity’ a hallmark of a ‘blessed’ life? In this Psalm King David contrasts the life of the wicked with the life of the blessed. Knowing God does not necessarily mean that we can treat Him like some genie in a bottle.

The first of the five books of the Book of Psalms are psalms largely written by King David. In Psalm 8 David expresses his confidence in GOD because of His greatness and majesty. GOD's glorious creation gave David many reasons to trust GOD even in difficult times. Let's consider what we can learn from Psalm 8 so that we too can develop confidence in GOD.

Psalm 5 is referred to as 'The Morning Psalm'. The first of the five books of the Book of Psalms are psalms largely written by King David. In Psalm 5 David is under threat and he expresses his confidence in GOD because he has come to continually experience GOD's care. GOD's faithfulness to him over the years gave him many reasons to trust GOD even in difficult times. Let's consider what we can lea...

The Book of Psalms has helped millions of believers to articulate their worship of GOD. These 150 Psalms are written as poetry which express prayers, experiences, desires. The Book of the Five Volumes of Psalms have been compiled either by Ezra, or a disciple of Ezra. Thus, there are at least two Psalms that are what we might refer to as 'editorial' psalms (Psalm 1, and 119). It is interesting to...

Therefore, the person who is seeking God, to know Him and to love Him, is the person who treats all people with respect - but especially those in their inner circles of relationships

Intuitively we might suspect GOD to be unique, eternal (uncreated), infinitely loving (which means GOD is not a monolith), all-powerful, impeccably good (holy), supremely intelligent, communicative, transcendent (unlike us), immanent (close to us), omnipresent. Do all religions present GOD to be like this? No they don't. And when we come to know the True God, it leads to us being positively transf...

The Christian life is not merely the acceptance of a set of propositions, it is a spiritual transformation. Jesus said it was 'better that I go, so that I can send the Holy Spirit'. By the filling of the Spirit we are able to know God better, and love Him and others better.

The reason I want you to know this is because I want you to truly know God and make Him known. It is my pastoral hope that you will be diligent to maintain your fervent love for God through developing your intimacy with Him. And, your relationship with God enables you by His Holy Spirit to be able to love others, and develop genuine intimacy with another human being.

How would you respond to someone who boldly claimed that they knew God? This is the claim that Dr. Andrew Corbett is making in this presentation. In fact, he points out that while the Bible condemns pride and arrogance, it encourages God's people to boldly boast that they actually know God! Here's why...

Jesus declared, "...with man this is impossible - but with God, nothing is impossible!" and the Bible is replete with example verifying this divine claim. When you come to know God you will come to know that He is the God of the Impossible!

The essence of the Christian life is not a matter of 'what' you know, it's matter of 'Who' you know. Jesus Christ stated that eternal life was a matter of "knowing God, and Jesus Christ who You sent" (John 17:3). Let's consider the story of Job and the valuable insights in it so that we can know God better.

Christ's Lordship over heaven and earth will ultimately culminate in the judgment of all mankind, the resurrection of the righteous to receive glorified bodies, and a new dimensional heaven-earth realm where death will be no more.

Understanding Christ's identity is to understand His claim to supreme Lordship. This intimately involves His Lordship over His Body - the Church. This is why being a part of a local church is not an optional thing for anyone professing to be a Christian.

What they told him would have troubled him even more. The prophesied coming king was to be born in the same town that Israel’s greatest king, King David, had been born: Bethlehem. This almost certainly meant that this prophesied coming king was a direct descendant of king David.

The Word was not hedged in by His body, nor did His presence in the body prevent His being present elsewhere as well. When He moved His body He did not cease also to direct the universe by His Mind and might. No. The marvelous truth is, that being the Word, so far from being Himself contained by anything, He actually contained all things Himself. In creation He is present everywhere, yet is distin...
