2 Corinthians 3:4-4:12
Paul's defence of his apostolic mission and the unending glory of Christ - showing us to put our trust in what is eternal, not what is passing away.
Forgiveness and the Aroma of Christ
2 Corinthians 1:23-3:3
We are called to be a people of forgiveness and reconciliation through Jesus and to spread the aroma of Christ to the world.
God, Paul, and the Corinthians
2 Corinthians 1:1-22
Above all, 2 Corinthians is about reconciliation. Not only between Paul and the Corinthians, after they have fallen out, but between God and human beings. Ultimately, God's heart is for reconciliation with the whole world - and that includes you!
The Way to Maturity
John 20:1-21:25
The conversations of the risen Lord with his followers after Easter contain some startling insights into the life of a mature disciple.
Palm Sunday: The Hollow Victory
Luke 19:29-44
It's easy to be wise after the event. Even though we know Jesus' victory is completed by his death and resurrection, we still live our lives not knowing what life holds for us.
A people of the Heart
Exodus 35:4-35
In this final instalment of Exodus Espresso, a series looking at different "flavours" of the people of God, we look at how the people of God are stirred to action through their passion to do God's will.
A People of Sabbath Rest
Exodus 31:12-18
God doesn't just command us into Sabbath, he invites us into his rest.
A People of the Holy Spirit
Exodus 31:1-11
Bezalel is a name few know, but his story teaches us a great deal about the work of the Holy Spirit.
A People of Heaven-Come-To-Earth
Exodus 25:1-30:38
The third "flavour" of God's people, revealed in the second half of Exodus, is displayed in the pattern of the Tabernacle. These six chapters, often regarded as among the "boring bits" of the Bible, in fact contain fascinating insights into God's plan for His people.
A People of the Presence of God
Exodus 24:1-8; 29:45-46; 33:12-23
Being people of God's presence means seeing God; it means fellowship with God and with each other; it means holiness; it means going back down the mountain, and it means recognising our continual need for God's presence.
