Weak bodies and eternal glory (2 Kings 22-23; Psalm 73; 2 Cor 5)

Camping can be fun, but you would not want to live in a tent all year round! In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul compares our bodies to being like a tent, they are flimsy and won’t last forever. My son has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and this makes this truth so much more real to us, since he gets weaker by the day....

An eternal weight of glory (Nahum 1-3; Psalm 149; 2 Cor 4)

“Note well what it is that will make all the miseries of this world easy to endure; it is that we should transfer our thoughts to the eternity of the kingdom of heaven. If we look around us, a moment can seem a long time, but when we lift our hearts heavenwards, a thousand years begin to be like a moment.” That is the perspective John Calvin had 500 years ago and it’s the view that the apostle Paul had 2000 years ago and it can be ours today....

Keeping going by beholding glory (2 Kings 21; 2 Chr 33; Ps 71; 2 Cor 3)

What’s the secret to keeping going? When the trials keep coming, when there's another hospital appointment, another crisis, another challenge? We saw at the beginning of 2 Corinthians that Paul faced severe trials, and these led him to depend more on God (1:9). He's about to reveal further trials that he faced (4:8-9), but here in chapter 3 we see what kept him going through the trials - it was “beholding the glory of the Lord” (3:18)....

God is not hiding (Isaiah 64-66; 2 Corinthians 2)

Sometimes people say they are seeking God. Sometimes someone may wish God would make himself clearer. But since Genesis 3 onwards, it’s man who is hiding and God seeking. Here in Isaiah 65 God tells us that He's no good at hiding! In response to Isaiah's prayer in 64:1 that God would come down and revive His people, God responds by saying He's not hiding....

Why God? (Isa 60-63; 2 Cor 1)

Why did I face that? Why did that happen? Why did you allow that? I’m sure you have asked those sort of questions. The apostle Paul suffered more in his short lifetime than most of us will, and so he’s worth listening to as he addresses these sort of questions. His answer is quite surprising, for starters, he begins by praising God (2 Cor 1:3)!...

The urgency of prayer (Isa 56-59; Psalm 70; 1 Cor 16)

Sometimes prayer is urgent. Isn’t it amazing that in Psalm 70 God gives us permission to as him to hurry up! “Make haste, O God to deliver me!” David is facing enemies at this point, and He asks God to thwart their plans. David is the Lord’s anointed king, to act against Him is to act against God and His plans....

Come and buy (for free!) (Isa 53-55; Psalm 128; 1 Cor15)

When I was a child I loved going to the market, you’d hear the traders calling out their deals, my favourite thing were the digital watches! But as good as the deals were, I never heard a deal as amazing as the one that God offers in Isaiah 55. “Come everyone who thirsts…come, buy w**e and milk without money and without price.”...

God’s tatoo (Isa 49-52; Psalm 69; 1 Cor 14)

My wife admits that she once forgot our daughter! It’s not as bad as it sounds - she was on her way to drop Bethany at school and then to go shopping, but she just forgot to go the school first, and it was only when she was half way to the shops and a voice piped up from behind “are we going the wrong way….”!...
