Rev 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. This is how the Bible ends and how our Bible in a year ends. It has been a pleasure reading through the bible in a year with you. Don’t let this be just a one time deal….
Rev 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud…
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And there were open books, and one of them was the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books. In life we find we have to make many appointments. If you are…

Rev 17:14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.” First of all, a very Happy Christmas. It seems strange to read a passage like this on Christmas Day, but…
Neh 1:4 As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. When Nehemiah heard the plight of his people, what did he do first? Did he run off in a storming rage, ready to confront someone about…
Ps 146:3-4 Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. Where does your trust lie? In our rulers? Not only will they let us down, they are just people –…
Rev 14:9-10 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be…

Rev 12:11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Satan is constantly accusing. He is constantly having a go. He is always looking for reasons why we are not good enough. IT says here he…

Ezra 3:6 From the first day of the seventh month they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid. Priorities are important. They turned up to rebuild and they could have got right to it, holding off on the burnt offerings until…
Rev 9:6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. This is a bleak thought. There’s no easy way out of the suffering that will tea place in this time. People will long for death even, just to escape….
Mal 2:17 You have wearied the LORD with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them.” Or by asking, “Where is the God of justice?” You know, it’s hard to read this verse without…
Mal 1:6 “A son honours his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honour? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. But you say, ‘How have we despised your name?’ Interestingly…
Revelation 5:12 saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honour and glory and blessing!” How worthy is our Lord Jesus! In heaven they worship Him and adore Him, because He is worth it. The lamb who was slain – meekly…

Esther 4:13-14 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house…
Psalm 135:13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, throughout all ages. Apparently the world has moved on. It doesn’t seem to think it needs God any more, He has become an irrelevance to people. Come on, it’s the 21st century after all! Oh dear – how wrong they all are. Too…
Rev 2:3-4 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. The church in Ephesus looked like a good church. It was a busy church, a bustling church, even…
Rev 1:1-3 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he…

3 John 1:9-12 I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority.

2 John 1:8-11 Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes…
Daniel 11:36 “And the king shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. Daniel 11 is a very interesting chapter. It’s a prophecy…
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. I feel sometimes we’ve misused this verse, to suggest there is something wrong with us if we have fear. Because perfect love casts out…
1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every…
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. Jesus is coming soon. How does that sentence make you fee? There are some, who shrink back when they hear that. They don’t like to hear…
1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life-is not from the Father but is…
Dan 6:4-5 Then the high officials and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no error or fault was found in him. Then these men said, “We shall not find…

The…
Dan 3:17-18 If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that…
Dan 2:27-28 Daniel answered the king and said, “No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery that the king has asked, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.

Dan 1:12-13 “Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king’s food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see.” We now start the book of Daniel….
1 Pet 4:7 The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Sober minded. What does that mean? We can read and read the word, but sometimes it’s good to stop and ask what the word means. It means serious, sensible, and composed. Which is…

1 Pet 2:16 Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Did you know that you are free? It’s true, for who the Son sets free is free indeed. When we come to Jesus we are set free. But we must make…
