Word in Five

This is one of the best sections of the Bible. Moses meets with the Angel of the LORD - Jesus - who many years later said things like "I am the good shepherd", "I am the true vine", "I am the resurrection and the life"...

The LORD comes down to rescue. The One who is the Angel of the LORD is called LORD and God. That is who Jesus is! He is the Messenger - the Word. It's only through Jesus that we can know the Father. How kind he is...

Moses remembered who his people were. May we remind ourselves each day who we belong to. Who our king is. May it not be squeezed out of us. And he acted, thinking the people would realise God was raising him up. But...

Pharaoh thinks if he can kill the boys he will win. The LORD defeats Pharaoh with women - the midwives, Moses' mum, sister and Pharaoh's own daughter. How cruel a master sin is. The LORD rescues us from this slavery...

The LORD keeps his promises. His plans cannot be stopped, even by the world superpower of Egypt. He did what he promised Abraham. And through this growing nation of slaves in Egypt he was going to bless all the peoples...

What a thing it is for God to be for us! What a terrible thing to remain in a place where he is against us by not listening to the voice of Jesus. We have a God who is close to the broken hearted. Our broken hearted...

Taste and see that the LORD is good. How do we know he is good? We look upon Jesus who was crucified. Whose face was covered in shame for us as he was spat upon. Yet in that face we see the glory of God. Such love and...

Our King calls us to love the LORD and trust the promises he has made. Why can we be so confident to do so? Because Jesus has proved beyond doubt that God keeps his promises. Jesus cried out under the deepest grief and...

There's so unfinished business for John in his gospel even though it seems like ch20 should have been the end. He wants us to ensure we always go fishing with Jesus. Without him we can do nothing. So, let's make sure we...

We really should get FOMO when we can't be with church on a Sunday! Thomas missed out on the risen Lord Jesus! Jesus has been raised bodily. The life to come is a physical life. Our bodies matter and so does God's...

Grief blinds. When we know people who are in grief, we need to pray for them, get alongside them, walk with them and gently remind them that Jesus lives. The angels and then Jesus asked Mary questions that were lovingly...

Remember Jesus Christ from the dead. Let's begin every week with that truth when we gather for church and let it impact how we view everything. There is no situation that is beyond hope because Jesus lives. Peter and...

Jesus did everything - complete - finished - to rescue his people and his creation. He didn't cut any corners. He thirsted. Think about that. The One who created the sea, lakes and rivers thirsted. The source of living...
