I press on towards the goal…

Twelve years after he first arrived in Philippi, Paul writes this letter from prison in Rome (Acts 28). Firstly, to acknowledge a gift received from the church. He is grateful for the loving concern that they have for him; demonstrated in their sending Epaphroditus to minister to him (4:10-18). But this is more than a thankyou letter. He wants to update them concerning his own situation; and encourage them about the progress of the gospel, despite his own suffering. What…

Introducing Joseph

The story of Joseph has been described as a ‘soap opera’. We might certainly say that to someone coming to it for the first time; it’s a tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Joseph becomes the instrument through which God protects His covenant nation and His Messianic purposes. God’s plans never fail; even when circumstances might suggest otherwise. As one writer puts it: “Joseph’s confidence was not in his ability to understand his circumstances; his…

Studies on John 13-17

“On the night when He was betrayed…” When we read the title of this series our immediate thoughts are taken to the Last Supper that Jesus shared with His disciples in the Upper Room. Matthew, Mark and Luke all give us details of this momentous occasion as Jesus prepares to go to the cross. John however; despite giving us more information than any of the others about what happened that night, chooses not to describe the meal. John’s gospel was…

HFG Studies on Joshua

Joshua 1:2 is not everyone’s idea of an appealing job offer! So who is this man about to step into some of the biggest shoes in Biblical history? Exodus 33:11 tells us that Joshua was a young man when he left Egypt. Moses takes him under his wing and for the next forty years he undergoes training that, unbeknown to him, prepares him to fulfil God’s promise given to Abraham 500 years earlier (Genesis 12) and lead the Israelites into…
