Galatians 5: 13-26. Paul’s concern for the Galatians is that they don’t allow themselves to get side-tracked from their faith in Jesus. They were in danger of listening to those who suggested that Jesus was great and His death and resurrection were important – if only they stuck with the Jewish practice of the law […]
Genesis 1:24-31, Colossians 1:1-20. This passage is such a highpoint of Paul’s writing. It has a majestic view of Jesus, the church and God’s plans for the whole world. It is a definite mountain top moment in the letter. Paul begins by reminding them that they have been brought out of one way of life […]
Acts 16: 1 – 15. It is easy to read the opening verses of Acts 16 as if Paul was doing exactly what he wanted, when he wanted, and how he wanted (1-5). But we know from the full breadth of Paul’s teaching that he constantly let the Holy Spirit guide him, and that he […]
Acts 2: 1-41. To fully grasp all that took place when the Holy Spirit came down on God’s people at Pentecost, we need to recognise the “heart” of Pentecost (1-21). That happens as we see the importance of the outward expression of the Holy Spirit, but the inner experience of the heart must come first. […]

In his commentary on Ephesians in the Bible Speaks Today series, John Stott helps us understand from Ephesians 4 how unity depends […]
1 Corinthians 12. The Apostle Paul is keen to make sure that the people of God don’t remain uninformed about the gifts of the Holy Spirit through which we are equipped. He sets that out in three distinct, yet intertwined, ways as he shows us: The purpose of the gifts (vs. 1-3): to bring glory […]
Romans 8: 1-17. Renewal through the Holy Spirit happens as we turn away from our “old” selves, and embrace our “new” selves. Turn away from the “old” you (vs. 1-11): Bound by the law of sin & death (vs. 1-2); Minds controlled by the “sinful nature” lead to destruction and death (vs. 5-9); Sinful nature: […]
John 14: 15-27. John shows us the depth of the promise that our relationship with God will be unbroken and unshaken. The words of Jesus in this chapter explain that the Holy Spirit is our constant source of comfort that will never leave us. Therefore we can trust the integrity of the promise, and live […]
John 21:1-25
John 20: 1 – 31.
