The church at Ephesus was strong on zeal and discernment, but had allowed love to decline. So we are warned that both matter - we are called to speak the truth in love, after all. And it is only if we abide in Christ's love that we can truly work for him.بقلم Gervase Charmley

In Mark 10 we read that Christ received little children, though the disciples tried to keep them away. What do we learn from this concerning Christ and children? We see the resolve of those who brought the children, the rebukes of the disciples, and the reception Christ gives.بقلم Gervase Charmley

God delivers his people. We see in Ezekiel 38 a picture of a great and final battle in which the church is attacked, and God delivers. Here is a pisture that takes us forward to Christ's second coming, and assures the troubled Church that Christ has won and will win.بقلم Gervase Charmley

John opens the Revelation introducing himself and the Lord Jesus Christ. John, a representative of the suffering Church, sees the glorified Christ who is for his Church and who is King over all.بقلم Gervase Charmley

How may Christians have peace in a troubled world? The answer is through the Cross of Christ, by which he has overcome the world. We see the parting of Christ from the Disciples, the Perpexity of the Disciples, and the Peace of Christ.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones is well known, but little understood. We see that it is about God's restoration of his people. We see their resurrection, their reunion, and their restoration in Christ. The vision is fulfilled in full and then some in Revelation 21, "The tabernacle of God is with men!"…

What is the book of Revelation? It is a book that has been often abused, but it actually sets out its own principles of interpretation in the first few verses. We see how this affects how we look at the book, how people have gone wrong about it, and how it is for the Church in all time.بقلم Gervase Charmley

At Harvest Thanksgiving we remember that God is the good giver of all good gifts. Christ's words in Matthew 5:45 point us to the Giver, his gifts, and his goodness. We see God's character in the harvest, and we see it best of all in his Son Jesus Christ.بقلم Gervase Charmley

As we give thanks for the harvest, we think back on the "harvest festivals" that God appointed for Israel; First-fruits, Pentecost, Tabernacles. We think on their meaning, and see God's promise, God's provision, and God's pilgrims.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Ezekiel 36 preaches the Gospel to us. We see the ruin sin brings, the resturn of God to his people, and the regeneration Christ works, both in his people now and in creation when he comes again.بقلم Gervase Charmley

In his final "I am" saying, Christ tells us that he is the Vine and his people are the branches. How are we united to him, and what does it mean to abide in him? We see the Connection to Christ, the Calling of love, and the Challenge of persecution.بقلم Gervase Charmley

The just God delivers his people by justice. We see in Ezekiel 35 how Edom, the implacable foe that threatens the return of God's people to the Land, is to be dealt with by God's justice. And in that we see a picture of God's justice delivering his people in the present age and at the Second Coming of Christ.…

Christian faith is the antidote to anxiety. On the eve of the Crucifixion Christ reassures his disciples that in a world of perplexity, he is our peace. We see his promise, the Paraclete, and the Peace of God in Christ.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Why do Creeds and Confessions exist, and why do many churches hold to one? In this appendix to the series on the 1689 Confession we see why Confessions exist, and how they are supposed to function in the church, local as well as universal.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Jesus Christ, great David's Greater Son, is the Good Shepherd of his flock. He fulfils the Father's promises. We see in Ezekiel 34 the bad pastors, who explot the flock; God's promise of a Good Shepherd himself God; and the peace of God in the New Covenant.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Christ's love, which is the love of God, is seen supremely in the Cross. In John 13 we see the shadow of the cross in the washing of the disciples' feet, in the betrayal of Judas, and in the New Commandment of love.بقلم Gervase Charmley

The final chapter of the 1689 Confession deals with the Last Judgment, What does the Bible teach about it, and what are the implications for how we live? What is the relevance of this teaching? How does it affect Christians?بقلم Gervase Charmley

The Church has a prophetic calling; not to declare new words, but to proclaim God's Word that he has given, to be a watchman in each generation. In Ezekiel 33 we see the prophetic calling, the promise of God's grace and power, and the perils of shallow theology and superficial popularityبقلم Gervase Charmley

Christ is the Light of the World. That Light reveals things both good and bad. We see in John 12:37-50 the Purpose of God, the Peril of hesitating, and the Person in whom stands eternal life.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Chapter 31 of the 1689 Confession deals with the state of people after death, and with the final resurrection of the dead. On the way it addresses false doctrines like soul-sleep and purgatory. What is it to die, and what is the end of death?بقلم Gervase Charmley

What sort of King is Jesus? We see in John 12:12-36 the Triumph of the King by his death and suffering; the turmoil of the King as he contemplates the way of the Cross, and the Time of the King who came to be exalted on the cross to save his people.بقلم Gervase Charmley

God is the judge of all nations. In Ezekiel 32 we see the power of God, far above that of nations; the punishment of wicked nations; and the perdition of nations from which Christ saves his people.بقلم Gervase Charmley

God is over history; the rise and fall of nations and the shape of that map are in his hands. In Ezekiel 31 God reminds Egypt of Assyria, and the lesson of the fall of that empire. We see the pride of nations, the punishment of nations, and the prospect of history.بقلم Gervase Charmley

The shadow of the cross grows deeper, and Mary anoints the Lord for burial in an act of extravagant devotion, responding to his love. We see in John 12:1-11 the devotion of Mary, the deception of Judas, and the determination of Christ.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Chapter 29 of the 1689 Baptist Confession is about baptism, and shows both the agreements and disagreements of Particular Baptists and Presbyterians. The "waters that divide" do not in fact divide so far as some think! The 1689 Baptists display a gracious catholicity so often missed in debate on the topic.…

We see in John 11:45-57 the supreme example of John's use of irony, as he records the cynical Caiaphas wholly unconsciously prophesying the substitutionary death of the Lord Jesus Christ. We see also how Christ divides people, as some believe, and others reject.بقلم Gervase Charmley

God is just and has appointed a day on which he will judge the world. We see in Ezekiel 30 a foreshadowing of that Day in the judgement on Egypt. We see the Day of God, the Doom of nations, and the Downfall of all who stand against God and love evil.بقلم Gervase Charmley

Christ has given his Church two ordinances. What are they, and how are they to be administered? Chapter 29 of the 1689 Confession deals with the character of these ordinances, and their proper administration.بقلم Gervase Charmley
