Sovereignty 3. We have been having a look at the subject of the sovereignty of God. Alex led the meeting last time I spoke and did a bit of research: he looked up “sovereignty” in the Bible – only to find that it is not there! Unless you use the NIV which, due to a peculiarity of translation, has it…

Sovereignty 2. Did anybody manage to catch the weather forecast this morning? What did they say? What do you reckon? Did they get it right? I don’t know if you knew, but when I left university I seriously considered becoming a meteorologist. I sometimes think that I should have – I mean, they get paid…

Philippians 3. Please turn to Philippians chapter 1 [P]. Do you know I get asked some difficult questions? One that people often ask me, and which I find very difficult to answer, is: “How has your week been?” I generally make an evasive remark to try to avoid answering it. I know, it is “small-talk”,…

Sovereignty of God. At the tender age of six, not having long been in this country, we went down south. Dad was speaking at a Vic Hudson camp at Gunn’s Bush. After the camp, seeing we hadn’t seen much of New Zealand yet, we did a little bit of a tour around and stayed at Duntroon, right next the mighty…

Sovereign Christmas. Christmas is getting very close! I have an aunty who makes all these wonderful creative cards, so this year I thought that I would have a go at making my own Christmas card. [P] What do you think? A nice traditional snowy picture, a fairly standard Christmas greeting: “I wish you…

Philippians 9. You may recall, that the last part of this letter [P] we were looking at was dealing with personal details and arrangements – Paul was telling the church how he was going to send Timothy and Epaphroditus to them, and then come himself. Now he suddenly changes tack, from these personal…

Philippians 4. Please turn to [Philippians 1:20-30] [P] We have been looking at Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi. He was writing from prison in Rome. Last time we saw how concerned the Philippians were for Paul in his situation. They thought that things had gone drastically wrong – they were partners…

Sovereignty 7. We have had a bit of an interlude, there was Christmas and the holidays; and then I did a couple of talks on what happens when you die. But you may recall that last year I started a series on the sovereignty of God, and today I want to take up that theme again. This morning I want you…
