There is in Christ a final destination worth hanging on to and waiting for. These great themes of Hebrews do not sit comfortably in today’s pluralistic worldview. And like the first readers, Christians today are under immense pres...

1 Peter speaks to our times in particularly poignant ways.

Churches in many places have capitulated, some accommodating the cultural wind and abandoned the pattern of teaching handed down to us in the NT, while others have lost heart. The future prospect of the churc...

Set in the days of the Judges, the book of Ruth is one of the most beautiful short stories ever written. Unlike the book of Judges, with its stories of great charismatic leaders and their extraordinary deeds, Ruth gives us another side to life in those days where simple faith in God’s providence is commended and where God works with his invisible hands in bringing the ma...

Exodus
Of all the key events in the OT, perhaps none are more central than God's redemption of his people from Egypt. The events described in Exodus shape the rest of the OT the way the redemption work of Jesus shapes the New. The most important lessons in this series have to do with the identity and character of the God who rescued his people from slavery in fulfilment...
