A Call to Love, Part 2
A Call to Love, Part 1
The new birth that is ours through the Word of God leads to a new way of relating to one another—and the key mark of this is love. When pressure comes, the temptation is always to turn on those near and dear to us. But this must not happen with the people of God. We have been made new—and this new birth enables us to love one another with sincerity, from the heart.
A Call to Holiness, Part 2
Jesus has ransomed us from our former way of life through his own blood. Having ransomed us at such cost, the God of holiness calls us to be holy in our way of life. Pressure and opposition must not lead us to sin and to conformity with the world, but instead to radial holiness.

An Incredible Privilege, Part 2
We who belong to Christ are immensely privileged people. The Spirit so worked in the Old Testament prophets that they might write down God's Word to serve us today—that we might have this gospel hope.

A Confidence in Trials, Part 2
Life in this world is hard, and opposition is real. But the Christian believer has a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. These trials may test our faith, but real faith will be proved genuine in trial. We who love Jesus have joy in the prospect of his coming. And this joy and this hope have power to sustain us in days of darkness.

True Worship, Part 4
Worshipping God acceptably also involves honouring leaders within the church—following their example, submitting to their leadership, listening to their teaching, and praying for them. Are we marked by this kind of worship as a church?
