The Atonement Part 7
03 January, 2021
God's eternal purpose, His full pleasure, the centre and sum of all His deliberations and appointments is found in His Son and nowhere else. In the light of this we consider an understanding of the wrath of God in the context of the atonement of…
The Atonement Part 6
27 December, 2020
We begin in this continuing series on the atonement to look at the wrath of God, and in particular to start to address the question as to whether Jesus was punished for our sins, and also whether the wrath of God was poured out on Jesus on the cross…
The Atonement Part 5
20 December, 2020

The Atonement Part 4
13 December, 2020
We look at the gospel as the power of God by which we are saved, and as the gift of God Himself to us, whereby we receive and participate in the Atonement at the heart of divine Redemption in Christ. This provision is made available to us by the pure…
The Atonement Part 3
06 December, 2020
What is the significance of Christ as the antitype of the scapegoat released into the wilderness on the Day of Atonement? We look at what being made perfect means, what it means to have no conscience of sins and what it means that there is no more…
The Church - John 15
29 November, 2020
Ross concludes his ministry among us with a message on the church as she is depicted in John 15 in Jesus' parable of the Vine and the branches. The centrality and all-sufficiency of Jesus for both the individual and the corporate Body of Christ is…
A Relationship of Growth

In Christ we have been given all things for life and godliness, and following Peter's development of that, Ross exhorts us to ever pursue a deeper knowledge of the Lord.
Sustaining Faith in Turbulent Times
08 November, 2020

Holding On
01 November, 2020
Ross emphasises the dynamic nature of holding on in the life of faith. Rather than a mere clinging, we steadily walk with the Lord in living fellowship. Vital elements like prayer, encouragement, discipline, fruitfulness, sanctification, and…

Unequivocally, Jesus will return to this earth for His own, and establish His glorious heavenly kingdom in anticipation of the eternal age to come.
The Atonement Part 2
04 October, 2020
The Lord told Aaron that He would meet with him in the cloud above the mercy seat. We look at the centrality and the all-pervasiveness of prayer in the presence of God at the heart of the atonement. Life in Christ, who is the atonement of divine…
The Atonement Part 1
06 September, 2020
Generally understood in legal terms, the atonement of Christ is actually much more than that. The presence, purity and favour of God Himself is at the heart of the atonement, and in this message we briefly overview a handful of new testament…
Grace and Knowledge
23 August, 2020
From Peter's second letter Ross emphasises our dependence upon the grace of God, particularly in respect of our faith, and our knowledge of the Lord. Faithful attendance upon this issues in fruitfulness in our lives.
God and Coronavirus
09 August, 2020
While the world reels and struggles under the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, do we, the church, have a word from God, as to where He is and what He is doing? He intends that His people should be in the secret of His doings. Is this virus of God?
My Brother's Keeper in My Father's House
26 July, 2020
Jesus, questioned by the religious leaders concerning His teaching responded, "...he that seeks the glory of him who sent him is true and there is no unrighteousness in him." In the life of Judah, vis-a-vis his father Jacob with respect to firstly…
A Costly Remnant
19 July, 2020
In a time of serious assault upon the Judea-Christian heritage in the western world by powers inimical to Christ, we look at Israel in the days of her spiritual declension prior to her exile, and also prior to her crucifixion of her Messiah, and in…
Naked and Not Ashamed
12 July, 2020
Beginning His ministry at a marriage, we see Jesus signalling the ultimate marriage - the Lamb and His Bride. After creation, shame came with sin and death. In the new creation Jesus removes the shame, uniting us with Himself, bringing to fulness the…
A Good Deposit
05 July, 2020
We are taken through the first fourteen verses of the first chapter of Paul's second letter to Timothy, by way of encouraging us to continue faithful in the face of suffering, and in the vigour of the Gift of God in the gospel. With Christ the centre…
Apprenticed to God
28 June, 2020
Discipleship, or better, apprenticeship, with the Lord Jesus has the eternal principle of the Cross at the very heart of it. Expressed there is God, in eternal love, giving all of Himself to us, in Christ. In so doing, He wins from us our utter…
Prophetic Nowness in Psalm 118
21 June, 2020

A Servant's Delight
14 June, 2020
In Peter's mother-in-law we see a picture of the Church set free to serve the Lord and one another in the will of God, that we might proceed from the revelation of the Son in us, to our destiny of the revelation of the Son in fulness through us as…
Christ First
07 June, 2020
Through the lens of the incident where the man of much wealth quizzes Jesus about the "price" required to obtain eternal life, Ross considers the only access being via the matchless worth of Christ.
Outside the Camp
31 May, 2020
The true church of Jesus Christ in the western world has lost over the centuries, and continues to lose, an immense amount of credibility such that in our day we live in a post-christian society. As Jesus, on earth, had no honour in His own "country…

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
