Psalm 136:23–26, 1 John 2:12–27, Daniel 7:1–14

There are evil spiritual forces at work in our world today. Many people today are ignorant or dismissive of spiritual realities. Yet you have the powerful spiritual ‘antiseptic’ to use against these destructive forces. It is vital that you learn to do so.

Psalm 136:1, 1 John 1:3–9, 2:1–6, Daniel 6:13–23

Fellowship – it’s a wonderful word. It’s what you were made for. It satisfies the deepest longings of your heart. It is the answer to loneliness. Nothing in this life compares with it. It starts now and goes on for ever.

Psalm 135:13–14, 2 Peter 3:3–18, Daniel 4:37

What do you do while you are waiting for God to do what he has promised to do?

Proverbs 29:2–7, 2 Peter 2:1–20, Daniel 3:16–28

The lives of men and women of courage and faith are hugely inspiring, challenging and motivational.

Psalm 135:5, 2 Peter 1:1–18, Daniel 24:27–45

You will grow in faith as you study the truth of God’s word and boldly proclaim that ‘there is a God’ and ‘he is great’.

Psalm 134:1–2; 1 Peter 5:1–14, Daniel 1:8–15,2:1–20

How should you respond to God’s great grace?

Psalm 133:1–3, 1 Peter 4:1–19, Ezekiel 47:6–12

God blesses ‘unity’. When Christians from different churches, traditions and denominations come together in unity, ‘that’s where God commands the blessing’.

Proverbs 28:26, 1 Peter 3:1–17, Ezekiel 45:1–15

What people see is far more important than what they hear. People do what people see.

Psalm 132:3–14, 1 Peter 2:4–24, Ezekiel 43:2; 44:4

The only church building the New Testament speaks about is a building made of people (Ephesians 2:20-22), founded and built upon Jesus, the chief cornerstone. The holy temple in the New Testament is one made of ‘living stones’ (1 Peter 2:5) – in other words, people like you and me. This is God’s new home.

Psalm 131:1–3, 1 Peter 1:3–23; 2:1–3, Ezekiel 41:18–19

In today’s passages, we see the implications of the new birth, the various stages of spiritual growth as a son or daughter of God and how ‘you may grow up in your salvation’.
