In the first part of Mark 11 we saw Jesus arrive at Bethany on the Saturday evening, and then ride into Jerusalem on ‘Palm Sunday’, fulfilling the prophecy given by Gabriel, recorded in Daniel chapter 9 to the very day! Now Mark records that when Jesus arrived in Jerusalem he went to the Temple looked […]
Acts 14:17 tells us that God has not leftHimself without a witness. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that when we come to a passage like Genesis 5, one that has been heavily attacked and ridiculed by critics of the Bible, we find it vindicated by both the witness of archaeology, and by incredible deliberate […]
In Chapter 2 of Genesis, we see God sanctify the Sabbath, i.e. set it apart. Why was God so insistent on Israel keeping the Sabbath? In Numbers 15:32-36 we have the account of an individual who was put to death for simply gathering sticks on the Sabbath! Now, there is not a person on this planet […]

True science and the Bible will never be in disagreement because they both have the same author! It is, therefore, fascinating when we come to the opening […]
Ever since God created the Earth there has been an intense battle for it. Satan presumed God was creating it for him: “To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?” (Esther 6:6); but then God gave it to man! (Genesis 1:28-30) Using deception and cunning Satan then usurped man and claimed […]
As we continue our verse-by-verse study in the book of Genesis, we now move into verse 1 and make some surprising discoveries! These blogs over the coming weeks accompany the teaching sessions (which can be found in the ‘Teaching & Audio > Sunday Morning Studies’ section of this web-site. I hope and pray that (if […]
Introduction In verse 6 of the previous chapter (Revelation 21) we saw the One sat upon the throne declare “it is done!” God’s plan from before the foundation of the world is completed. This is summerised in Ephesians 1:9-10, where Paul states: “Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his […]
