No matter who we are - we all treasure things. Our treasure is the thing that we value the most. The thing we love, cherish, and would give up anything to keep. In Matthew 6:19-34, Jesus challenges us to treasure the right thing: God's Kingdom. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/06/23/see…

It’s essential in life that we choose our path wisely. In Matthew 7:13-27 at the end of Jesus' famous "Sermon on the Mount", Jesus tells three parables which challenge us: Will we choose the right path to life? Or the wrong path to destruction? butservants.wordpress.com/2022/06/28/cho…

What are the marks that someone has been changed by God’s Spirit? The Spirit’s work is often equated with a supernatural experience or our emotions when we go to church. But such a focus can easily distract us from his far more foundational work. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/06/30/wal…

The cross has become the symbol of the Christian faith. At Easter we remember and celebrate the cross. Yet for all this, for many Christians – the cross is no longer the centrepiece of the Christian faith or the defining reality of our lives. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/07/11/the…

What is the decisive factor in someone becoming a Christian? Why it is that some can read the Bible, and be convinced that it’s God’s word, and live their lives for King Jesus to God’s glory, whilst others find the very same words offensive? butservants.wordpress.com/2022/07/21/wis…

Do your words reflect a heart that loves God? Often we don't think about our speech. We simply say the first thing that comes to our minds. We underestimate the power and destructiveness of our words. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/07/23/tam…

The gospel is only ever one generation from being lost. It’s crucial that we not only believe the gospel ourselves, but that we pass it on to others. It's good to ask: What will happen to the gospel when we’re gone? Or will it be lost? butservants.wordpress.com/2022/07/25/gua…

Often we find that life in this world leaves us empty and unsatisfied. How can that emptiness be filled? How can God alone give us real joy and fullness in life through his Son? butservants.wordpress.com/2022/07/28/fin…

In 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, we're reminded that we're saved to belong to one body, the church. God gives us different gifts not to divide us through through competition, jealousy, and pride, but that we might be united together in love. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/08/08/one…

In 2 Timothy 3, we’re presented with two models of ministry: worldly ministry and gospel ministry. Like Timothy, we need to make a choice about which model to embrace: to continue in the faithful ministry of the word or to conform to worldly desires. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/08/16/con…

It is inspiring to read the last words of Christian. If you know you’re going to die, you don’t waste your last words on trivial things. Th final written words of Paul are an urgent plea to "Preach the word!" butservants.wordpress.com/2022/08/17/pre…

Are you thankful for the grace God has given you? The parable in Matthew 20:1-16 warns us that it's possible to be ungrateful before God as we compare ourselves to others. So that instead of rejoicing in his generosity, we accuse him of being unfair. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/08/20/beg…

What does God demand of his people? Many people think God demands religions, or rule keeping. But in Matthew 22, Jesus explains, that if you were to summarize all of God’s commandments into one word, that word would be love. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/08/23/the…

What is the nature of biblical love? What does it look like to love one another when we gather as God's people? Where can we find strength to do it? butservants.wordpress.com/2022/08/30/the…

A fundamental decision we must make in the Christian life is whether we will relate to God on his terms or ours. Will we worship God in the ways that he demands in his word, or will we define for ourselves what a God-pleasing life looks like? butservants.wordpress.com/2022/09/01/acc…

How should we decide what to do when we gather as church? How do you determine whether what is done is good or bad? Whether a practice should be encouraged or discouraged? 1 Corinthians 14 shows us what principles should govern our gatherings. butservants.wordpress.com/2022/09/12/pro…
