Acts 8:26-36 this passage stresses the importance of an individual to God. A miraculous act was needed. God is seen leading Philip to a single person who needed to know Christ, and in the interview between the two we have a strong study on witnessing. We see just what is involved in witnessing to an individual. Dr. Wright expounds on this passage and also speaks on the fact that the Bible is a Book Of Inclusion

Jesus had just spent a Sabbath in feverish activity. Early in the morning of the next day, he set aside a time of prayer by himself. By the time the disciples found him, he was ready to face the next challenge. We must follow Christ’s example by making time for personal prayer. Those who help and serve on Sunday especially need to set aside time with God to restore their strength. Our ability to serve will be hindered if we neglect times of spiritual replenishment.

So we live in this tension: God’s grace frees us to choose as we please, but God’s love requires us to pay attention to our conscience. What we eat, where we live, how we spend time and money, what entertainment we pursue—almost everything we do affects others (8:10–13). We must ask ourselves whether we treat them with disregard or with love.

Dr. Wright draws out the lessons from 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. Dr.Wright draws out the lessons from 1 Corinthians 7:29-31. Paul instructs the Corinthians to view marriage, sorrow, joy, possessions, business, and service in the light of the new era which the Christian faith has inaugurated. Christians should understand that as the present form of this world passes away (v. 31), the coming of God's kingdom continues and touches all aspects of human life

Eli's suggested words to Samuel, Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening, provide a model prayer for those who seek to follow God's will.

In baptism we are initiated, crowned, chosen, embraced, washed, adopted, gifted, reborn, killed, and thereby sent forth and redeemed. We are identified as one of God's own, then assigned our place and our job within the kingdom of God. Dr. Wright draws out some lessons from Mark 1:4-11

In this sermon preached on the opening night of the annual Belle Vue - Long Look - East End Methodist week of Evangelistic Services, Dr. Wright walked the congregation through some of the stops along the way in the life of David (A man after Gods own heart).

Preached at the First Sunday Covenant Renewal Service 2021 Dr. Wright reflected on Jeremiah 50:3-5 and encouraged us not to be passive in our day to day walk.

Instead of teaching only the law of Moses, the scribes and Pharisees added countless laws of their own. Instead of making the people's load lighter, they made it heavier. People could profit from listening to the scribes' teaching of Moses' law, but they were not to copy the scribes' behaviour (Matt 23:1-4).

Jesus gave two specific reasons for his condemnation of the scribes. First, they wanted to make a display of their religious devotion so that they might win praise from others. Second, they paid strict attention to small details of law-keeping but they ignored the law's real meaning.

As you know and as God is our witness, we never came with words of flattery or with a pretext for greed; 6 nor did we seek praise from mortals, whether from you or from others, 7 though we might have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were gentle among you, like a nurse tenderly caring for her own children.
