The Feasts of the Lord, his appointed times and holy assemblies are faithfully recorded in scripture. Leviticus 23:4 ‘These are the Lord’s appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.’ We have just celebrated Yom Teruah, the Feast of Trumpets, with its festive feasts and sounding of shofars, followed by […]

Sunday Review 5
Hi and welcome to this Sunday Review. As I write this, encouraging words are coming out of Afghanistan of the fearless work of Christian evangelists risking their very lives and sharing the gospel. At the same time, the youth of Afghanistan are disillusioned and disgusted with the behaviour of the Taliban. This gives a wonderful […]

Nehemiah’s Gate conclusion
We have explored the names of Nehemiah’s 10 Gates, that were built to fortify Jerusalem after the Babylonians conquest. We have seen how they describe the gospel of Jesus.

Another Prayer For Afghanistan
I always feel rather a fraud, glibly writing about a people who face such trials whilst I live in the relatively comfortable Western Europe. This prayer comes from my heart though. There is a beautiful verse in Revelation 2 where Jesus addresses the church of Smyrna who are facing persecution. Revelation 2:10 ‘Do not be […]
