  • John 3.14-15 | The bronze serpent

    John 3.14-15 | The bronze serpent
    Sep 6 2025
    If I were to ask you to quote John 3.16, I am pretty sure that most of you would be able to do it. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. But if I ask you, ‘What are the two verses that come before John 3.16,’ I am not sure that the response will be as quick. Have you ever noticed the words that precede the well-known John 3.16? In other words, what is the context of John 3.16?

  • Matthew 4.18-22 | I will make you fishers of men

    Matthew 4.18-22 | I will make you fishers of men
    Sep 3 2025
    Today I would like to talk to you about Jesus’ concept of discipleship, the Lord’s teaching concerning discipleship. And for this, we will look at the passage in Matthew 4.18-22. This is what we read.
    Matthew 4.18. And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
    19 Then He said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’
    20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
    21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them,
    22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

  • Matthew 4.18-22 | Called to be saints

    Matthew 4.18-22 | Called to be saints
    Sep 2 2025
    In our previous lesson, we were studying Matthew 4.18-22. And you will remember that we focused our attention on Jesus’ statement when He said, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. It was a lesson in which we stressed the notion of discipleship, discipleship from Jesus’ perspective. And I drew your attention to the fact that the word ‘disciple’ is used 268 times in the NT: 238 times in the gospels and 30 times in the book of Acts, for a total of 268.

  • Matthew 5.3 | Blessed are the poor in spirit

    Matthew 5.3 | Blessed are the poor in spirit
    Sep 1 2025
    With this lesson, we will begin a series of studies on the Beatitudes. The Beatitudes, as you know, is the Lord's description of what a Christian should be in his character. If you want to know what are the spiritual qualities that God expects of a Christian, meditate on the Beatitudes. I am sure that you have heard and read a lot of material on the Beatitudes. But this part of the Lord's teaching is so important that I think we should never cease to reflect on it again and again.
    So today, we will examine Matthew 5.3, a verse which the Lord Jesus addressed to His disciples in the presence of a great multitude. He begins the Sermon on the Mount with these words.
    Matthew 5.3. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

  • Matthew 5.5 | Blessed are the meek (1)

    Matthew 5.5 | Blessed are the meek (1)
    Aug 30 2025
    We will continue today our exploration of the Beatitudes of our Lord Jesus. We come now to the third Beatitude found in the gospel of Matthew. This is what we read in Matthew 5.5.
    Matthew 5.5. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
    Happy is the man who is meek. Happy is he because God has blessed this man, because he shall inherit the earth.
    What does it mean to be meek? In today’s lesson, this is the question that I will try to answer. What kind of person does the Lord Jesus refer to when He talks about the meek?

  • Matthew 5.5 | Blessed are the meek (2)

    Matthew 5.5 | Blessed are the meek (2)
    Aug 29 2025
    In our last lesson, we studied the third Beatitude of the Lord Jesus, Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. In that lesson, we focused our attention on the meaning of meekness. We tried to answer the question, ‘What did Jesus have in might when He speaks of the meek?’ We saw that the meek are those who are righteous. You cannot be meek without being righteous. We saw also that the meek are those who know to wait for the Lord. They are those who let God be their defense. And finally, we saw that the meek are generous. They give and give, and give. You will remember that we drew these conclusions from the OT, more specifically from Psalm 37.
