Apprenticed to God
28 June, 2020

Outside the Camp
31 May, 2020

Practical Prayer

At the heart of the Christian life is prayer. In this brief message Ross looks at some of its perennially salient features.
Life on the Other Side

In the grip of the fear of death, Jesus' disciples discover a dimension of the mastery this Man has over the forces of nature, and from the incident we learn something of what it means for us to have passed from death to life in Jesus.

The Unity of the Faith
28 March, 2020
From Paul's letter to the Ephesians, we look at the Unity of the Spirit, and the Unity of the Faith, and this parallel line of thought with being on the Foundation of Christ, and then building upon that foundation, and the relevance of that to our…
With Full Assurance of Faith
21 March, 2020
With reference to the passages in the apostle John's first letter, in which John speaks of what we, in Christ, know and are assured of, Bob encourages us in difficult days concerning the power and security we have in Jesus as we trust in Him in…
The Church
15 March, 2020
With the Lord's illustration of the Vine and the branches from John 15 in mind, we see the centrality of Christ to the life, fruitfulness and indestructibility of His Church.
The One Foundation
08 March, 2020
Paul's "heavenly vision" (Acts 26:19) - "For me to live is Christ" - was the foundation that lay behind all he was and did in his life's service of Jesus. Paul is set forth as an example for us all, that we should be solidly on the same foundation…

My Father Works Until Now
16 February, 2020
John's account of Jesus walking on the water is brief in the extreme. When we look into it though, in the wider context of Jesus' whole manner of living, we find inspiring implications for our own knowledge of the Lord and our life in Him.
Knowing it was the Lord...

The Light of Life
