Daily Reading: John 6:1-15 In John 6, a great crowd of people were following Jesus. We’re told that they were following Him “because they saw the signs He had performed by healing those who were ill.” (v.2) No doubt they were filled with great excitement and anticipation. What would be next? They were certainly not

Daily Reading: Matthew 5:38-48 In Matthew 21, as Jesus entered Jerusalem, with the crowd accompanying Him spread cloaks and palm branches on the road hailing Him as “the Son of David” and “He who comes in the name of the Lord”, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?” (Matt 21:9-11) The citizens

Daily Reading: Psalm 118 Psalm 118:1-14 calls God’s people to bring God thanks and praise because of His goodness and His eternal love for us. It extols God’s presence with us and His power to save and deliver us from danger. It reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, and that it is

Daily Reading: Zechariah 9:9-17 Because next Sunday is Palm Sunday and our focus will fall on Jesus’ fulfilment of this prophecy from Zechariah, it would be easy to focus almost entirely on v.9 when we read today’s passage. That’s the part of the prophecy that Jesus very obviously fulfilled on that glorious day in Jerusalem

Daily Reading: 2 Kings 9:1-13 One of Elijah’s final acts in 1 Kings 19 had been to anoint the military commander, Jehu, as the future king of Israel who would overthrow the wicked, murderous dynasty of Ahab. Jehu had not acted on that prophecy yet, and by now Ahab’s son Joram was king. But now,

Daily Reading: Luke 7:11-17 Reading the account of Jesus raising this dead man back to life should take our minds back to Elijah. It certainly did so for the townspeople. Like the young man whom Elijah raised from the dead in Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8-24), this man in Nain was the only son of a

Daily Reading: 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 Yesterday, Psalm 116 showed us how precious our lives are to God. That theme continues to develop in 2 Corinthians 1:1-11 as the apostle Paul writes about the “Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles.” (v.3-4) God cares deeply nd lovingly about

Daily Reading: Psalm 116 Psalm 116 is a wonderful Psalm, written as a Psalm of praise to God for hearing the Psalmist’s cry for deliverance and saving him from “the chords of death” and “the anguish of the grave” at a time when he felt that he was about to die. His response is to

Daily Reading: 2 Kings 4:8-37 As I read the story of the Shunammite woman’s son this morning, it brings to mind the importance of persistent and prevailing prayer. The account has the feel of spiritual warfare to me. The young boy was brought into this world as a gift from God to a very kind

Daily Reading: 1 King 17:17-24 Throughout the coming week, we’ll be reading Biblical accounts of the LORD’s power to raise the dead back to physical life. These accounts should, come as no surprise at all. After all, this is the same LORD who breathed life into Adam in the first place, having created him from
