Although all natural evolutions are not of God, some may be so that apparently present no features to distinguish them from natural occurrences in general. This double fact has the double effect of restraining presumption and encouraging faith towards God. We may not as a matter of natural discrimination be able with certainty to distinguish… Read More Today’s thought “Deliver us from evil” (March 20)
Man can make beautiful things: but his productions fail to satisfy as Nature satisfies: their beauty is petty, limited and superficial. Nature’s beauty is thorough and inimitable, whether it be the structure of a flake of snow, the organisation of a plant or meanest insect under the microscope, or the stupendous revolutions of the starry… Read More Today’s thought “True from the beginning” (March 12)
However dark the national picture we can always find a faithful remnant who fear the Lord, and wait for the tokens of His Hand. We read of them as the Old Dispensation closes amid the darkness and sorrow in which the just retribution of God had left them: “Then they that feared the Lord spake… Read More Today’s thought “Waiting for the consolation” (March 10)
There are only two states of existence before God: the flesh and the spirit, darkness and light, death and life. The unbeliever walks “according to the course of this world … according to the spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience … fulfilling the desires of the flesh … and are by nature the… Read More Today’s thought “No fit mates” (March 06)
There are endless reasons to praise God, and many of them are included in the Book of Psalms. Yesterday in Psalm 89 we found a contemplative song by Ethan the Ezrahite, who wanted to make God’s faithfulness known with his mouth. (Psalm 89:1) We saw how the psalmist asked God to let heaven participate in… Read More Today’s thought “Reasons to praise God” (February 21)
The land of the Zagros (Zāgros) and Elburz (Alborz) Mountains The mountainous, arid, and ethnically diverse country of southwestern Asia, which has a rich and distinctive cultural and social continuity dating back to the Achaemenian period, which began in 550 bce, has for most of us become known since 1979 for its unique brand of… Read More Politics in Iran leading to a deadly 2026 uprising
After Valentine’s Day we came together to share our brotherly love and the peace in Christ. It is this week 47 years since the Islamic revolution began. By numbers the majority of the Newbury eccesia is Iranian these days. The Valentine’s Day yesterday for Iranians was much more about love for their families who are… Read More Sunday service 2026 February 15: Sinkhole
No other nation besides Israel has received a law “ordained in the hands of a mediator”. The constitutions and laws of the nations have been given to them by evil men who have subdued them; or by men no holier, whom they may have chosen to rule over them. Hence their organisations are evil, and… Read More Today’s thought “Israel and the nations” (February 10)
We started our service with Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalms 46:10 ASV) It is so nice that we can be sure that the El Elyon Hashem Jehovah is a safe place to hide, ready to… Read More Service of Sunday February 8, 2026: the Shepherd

“Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s.”… Read More Today’s thought “Rendering unto Caesar” (January 20)
Let us take note. God was in all David’s thinking. Many men send out distress signals to God as they are driven by a wild sea towards a rocky shore. Few seek Him as they come gently into harbour under a blue sky. The dangers of blue skies are often greater to the believer than… Read More Today’s thought “The guidance of God” (January 15)
Only the very young or the very foolish would wish to ape the luxury of a wholly different class of society from their own. Yet Jesus pricks the bubble of all such comparison by taking as example the extreme of magnificence – Solomon enthroned in regal array. For such comparisons differ only in degree: every… Read More Today’s thought “The vanity of life” (January 04)
At the beginning of the New Year, we look also back at the beginning of this universe. The chaos that was before everything was made in good order by the Divine Creator God was worse than it is now. 25 And God will make the living thing of the earth according to its kind, and cattle… Read More Today’s thought “Male and female made in the image of God” (January 01)

14 And they having come, say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and thou carest not for any one: for thou lookest not to the face of men, but in truth thou teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Cæsar, or no? 15 Should we give, or not give?… Read More Thought for today “This image and inscription” (August 17)
What is happening in Gaza is an abomination that we cannot accept and that the Western world should have responded to for much longer and remedied the inhumane conditions. Below, we show how one of our brothers sees events in the light of the biblical prophecies. The Times, August 8, 2025 Event Israel’s security cabinet… Read More Israeli plans to occupy Gaza City approved by war cabinet
Today we read that marvellous chapter Romans 12, in which Paul lists all the good attitudes that those who believe need to have, in order to show they are committed believers. It is good to read diligently so that we correctly understand the word of God and vital that we also develop a character that… Read More Today’s thought “Let love be genuine” (August 03)
In the sermon of this morning we spoke about the lost son, but also of youngsters who disappeared for some time, like a young man living for four years unnoticed at Heathrow airport. In Ecclesiastes the author encourages people to enjoy life while they are young — before the troubles of old age described in… Read More In the days of our youth
