Coming up next

Ian Britton recommences this Truth for Today series by considering the various sections of Matthew 20: vv.1-16, Unpopular grace; vv.17-19, The basis of both grace and blessing; vv.20-24, The wrong way to seek blessing; vv.25-28, Greatness through serving; vv.29-34, Blessing – based on grace. There are lessons for Christians to learn from each section, such as the importance of faith, how God views things differently from us, and the need for us to follow Jesus as His disciples.

Paul Callicott reads the whole of Matthew chapter 21 and comments on this climatic event, Jesus’ Triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and the subsequent day’s events.

The STUDIES OF MATTHEW’S GOSPEL series is interrupted with a CHRISTMAS MESSAGE from Jonathan Hughes, with the unusual tile of ‘The tyranny of Christmas’. Jonathan considers how Christians should celebrate the wonder of the Incarnation and avoid worldly traditions so that we experience the real peace of God at Christmas. He also considers Jesus’ genealogy and the account of His birth and the subsequent visit of the Magi, in an insightful way.
