Hebrews 10 – The true tabernacle is the place of meeting in fellowship with the Father. Jesus has gone into the Father’s presence; now “one” with the Father in every sense, by the transformation of his physical nature. But distance is no barrier to perfect fellowship; it is more a matter of state than place… Read More The true tabernacle
The letter to the Hebrews shows how the Law of Moses pointed forward to Christ. Chapter 9 tells how he was prefigured in the tabernacle and its contents (Exodus 25–27), and in the calendar of feasts and sacrifices which Israel had to follow. And what was true for the tabernacle, the temporary shrine in the… Read More Today’s thought “Pointing forward to Christ” (June 02)

Today’s thought “Your name will be magnified forever” (July 22) It feels as if we could fill a book with the thoughts that arise from our three chapters today! However, 2 Samuel 7 is surely the most heart-warming and challenging! David, now king and reigning from Jerusalem, decides he should build a house, that is,… Read More Today’s thought “Your name will be magnified forever” (July 22)
Early in Acts we read of Peter preaching, “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out” (3:19).

This was to be the centre of worship for the Israelites for hundreds of years to come. All the detail of its construction and its measurements are given; this may seem… Read More Today’s thought “As it has been shown …” (February 16)
Today’s thought “God spoke all these words” (February 15) What is at first most surprising as I read the book of Exodus is the detail Moses is given of the way to construct the tabernacle. I note that, starting with chapter 20:1 “God spoke all these words” to Moses. Today in chapter 26 we have… Read More Today’s thought “God spoke all these words” (February 15)

The True Church Many church buildings have become a liability rather than an asset. Once constructed in a way that was designed to glorify God,… Read More Church buildings having become a liability
The Children of Israel had learnt their lesson the hard way! Are we sure we have learnt ours? If massive problems arise as this world falls apart – will we seem “like grasshoppers”? Or will our faith be such as to give us “full assurance” (read Hebrews 10:22,23)? Heb 10:22-23 The Scriptures 1998+ (22) let… Read More Like grasshoppers
