The Atonement Part 1

Grace and Knowledge

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

Naked and Not Ashamed

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

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…

The Church

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…
