“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). The Apostle John opens his Gospel account with these words. In so doing, He introduces one of the most philosophically rich and theologically significant concepts in Scripture: Jesus Christ as the divine Word, or the LOGOS….
WHEN A MARRIAGE BECOMES A SERMON: ON GOD’S RADICAL LOVE… The command is jarring, even offensive to our modern sensibilities: “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom” (Hosea 1:2). How could a holy God command His prophet to marry a prostitute? The divine instruction seems to contradict everything we know about God’s design for…
The oxen stumbled. Without thinking, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark of God. In that split second, everything changed. The celebration turned to horror as Uzzah fell dead beside the cart, struck down by the Lord he’d been trying to serve. The music stopped. The dancing ceased. And King David, who’d organised…
Few questions carry more eternal weight than this: “Am I truly among God’s elect?” In the depths of night, the question has stirred countless souls, for it strikes at the very heart of our relationship with God. After all, eternity itself hangs in the balance. Yet God hasn’t left His people to wander in darkness….
Jacob was no stranger to struggles. Even in the womb, he’d grapple with his twin, Esau—grasping at his heel at birth—an act that would earn him the name of “deceiver.” Jacob’s life was defined by contests. He competed against Esau’s natural charm for his father Isaac’s affection. He cunningly wrestled away his brother’s birthright for…
The title “Firstborn of All Creation” is one of Scripture’s most emphatic descriptions of Christ’s pre-eminence, and yet, is often misunderstood. The designation, found in Colossians 1:15, carries deep theological significance: it speaks to Christ’s eternal nature, supreme authority, and relationship to both creation and the Father. Let’s explore this rich biblical concept and its…
The account of Lot’s wife turning into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26) is one of the most striking examples of divine judgement in all of Scripture. While seemingly brief, the Bible narrative carries profound theological significance, particularly within Reformed thought. Join us as we analyse and examine the nature and implications of her sin…
The story of the sin of Ham, Noah’s son, recorded in Genesis 9:20-27, has been the subject of much discussion, even misinterpretation through church history. The narrative, though brief, carries significant theological weight and provides crucial lessons about family relationships, honour, and the far-reaching consequences of sin. Through a careful examination of the biblical text…
Chosen in eternity past—the thought is staggering. Before God spoke light into existence, before He stretched out the heavens like a curtain, before the first mountain rose from the depths or the first star flickered in the cosmos—He chose us, His elect. Before time itself began to flow, our name was known to Him. Such…
For centuries, Genesis 6:1-4 has been one of the most intriguing and debated passages in Scripture. The four verses have generated countless discussions, theories, and theological treatises. The passage speaks of “sons of God,” “daughters of men,” and mysterious beings called the Nephilim, setting the stage for the great flood that would soon follow. But…
