Seeing is Not Believing
(John 9:18-24) For the past few posts I have been working through the events surrounding the healing of a man born blind and the issues, implications and discussions that it evoked. In this section we see two strong issues come out of this healing, one from the Pharisees and one from those they questioned. How…

Faith is More Important than Knowledge
(John 9:6-12) Sometimes the Lord may ask us to do the strangest things. Sometimes we may think, “Surely he is not serious? He must be joking?” There were many times in the Bible where we see the Lord say to His people to do something that just seemed to be…well, strange. But in all of…

The Blame Game
(John 9:1-5) There is a sickness in this world today that I call the blame game. No one is prepared to take responsibility. From politicians to the workplace, from supposed leaders to the person in the street, everyone seems to be looking for someone else to blame for the situations they find themselves in. What…

Food for the Spirit
(John 6:1-14) These verses relate to the feeding of the five thousand, which is a remarkable miracle any way that you look at it. I have written about this miracle several times already as I covered it in each of the other three gospels, so I will not cover that aspect again. If you want…

You’re Not Listening…
(John 5:1-9) Do you ever get told off by someone else for not listening? I know I do! So often we do not hear what is being said because we are not listening. Well it just doesn't happen with our families and friends, but too often we don't hear the Lord because we are not…

Why Did Jesus Perform Miracles?
Why did Jesus perform miracles? He never did anything without reason & He performed miracles for an even more important reason than just healing the sick.

Jesus turned the Water into Wine
(John 2:1-12) This section of scripture is interesting for a number of reasons. It is a well known piece of scripture as many have discussed it, written about it and there are even songs about it. This is described as the first of the miracles that Jesus performed by the Apostle John, and it is…

Persistence Pays Off
(Luke 18:35-43) Persistence is critical to your walk with Jesus. We are at war in the spiritual realm and the devil will throw all kinds of things in your way to block you from walking wholeheartedly with Jesus Christ. But you cannot allow those things to stand in your way and to drag you down.…

The Rich Man and Lazarus
(Luke 16:19-31) This parable is an interesting one for provides an insight into life after death. The rich man and Lazarus gives us several other insights as well including that miracles will not change the hearts and minds of a non-believer. A non-be liver will not accept the truth as we shall see in this…

It’s Always Right to Do the Right Thing
(Luke 13:10-17) How many times have you seen or heard of people who overlook and pass by someone who is suffering? Think about the Good Samaritan and the first two, who were religious people, and passed the injured man on the other side of the road. Then there are times when people are hurt, injured,…

He Who Is To Come
(Luke 7:18-23) John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to ask Jesus if he was, “He who is to come.” Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” (Acts 19:4) So when John spoke about “He…

Raising the Dead
(Luke 7:7-17) On a number of occasions we see Jesus raising the dead as he did in this section of scripture. The people were astounded at this event for they said, “Fear seized them all; and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” (Verse 16)…
