Audio readings: Psalm 111:1-10 Ephesians 3 Isaiah 57:14-21, Isaiah 58, Isaiah 59 EPHESIANS 3 Verse one of this chapter is rather like a false start in a sprint race: the runners seem to stop as soon as they have begun. Or, more literally, Paul interrupts himself before he has completed half of one sentence! “For this…

Audio readings: Psalm 109:21-31 Ephesians 1 Isaiah 51:17-23, Isaiah 52, Isaiah 53, Isaiah 54 EPHESIANS 1 This letter contains more protein than a two-pound steak; don’t expect to digest it all at one sitting! Ephesians contains 155 verses of high-quality biblical truth. In Paul’s time the city of Ephesus was the principal city of Asia Minor (modern Turkey)…

Audio readings: Proverbs 23:10-18 Galatians 6 Isaiah 49:8-26, Isaiah 50, Isaiah 51:1-16 GALATIANS 6 “Carry each other’s burdens and, in this way, you will fulfil the law of Christ” (v2). Now consider: “…for each one should carry their own load” (v5). How do we explain these two potentially contradictory verses? How does it explain a great deal of this chapter? The…

Audio readings: Psalm 109:1-20 Galatians 5:7-26 Isaiah 47, Isaiah 48, Isaiah 49:1-7 GALATIANS 5 If you have waited many thousands of years – since the dawn of history – for freedom, then its arrival seems especially good!

Audio readings: Psalm 108:1-5 Galatians 3:26-29, Galatians 4:1-20 Isaiah 43, Isaiah 44:1-23 GALATIANS 4 “Are you still a slave or are you now free?” Paul asks this question of the Galatian believers, and the Holy Spirit asks the same one of us today. Up until then, the most god-fearing person in the world was an observant Jew,…

Audio readings: Proverbs 22:28-29, Proverbs 23:1-9 Galatians 3:10-25 Isaiah 41, Isaiah 42 GALATIANS 3 “Believe the gospel and receive the Holy Spirit”. “Believe the gospel and see miracles worked among us”.

Audio readings: Psalm 107:23-32 Galatians 2:1-10 Isaiah 36, Isaiah 37 GALATIANS 2 “Horses for courses” – as Paul sort-of said.
