In Luke 24:36-43, after His resurrection, Jesus wanted to demonstrate His presence to His followers. He desired to help them to believe. Like the disciples, we all need an encounter with the risen Lord Jesus. Our God is a God of the supernatural, but often we don't recognise His presence or even attribute it to something else. This encouraging message will inspire you to engage with the risen Christ by His Spirit, for 'Jesus Wants You To Know He's Alive!'.

What could a New Ireland look like through 'Kingdom eyes'? So many have political visions of 'A New Ireland', but what does God want? In this message, David encourages Irish Christians to have a healthy appreciation of their history and appropriate the spiritual inheritance they have. He also calls for the church in Ireland to renounce the political and religious spirit that has been a historic problem on the island and is in ascendancy again across the Western world. David also briefly addresses the issue of Christian nationalism in our world today. This message is available at https://www.preachtheword.com now in MP3 audio format...

Isaiah 9 is a scripture often read at Christmas time. To a land distressed and under the shadow of death's darkness the great light of the world has shone. Christ's coming into the world has brought joy, liberty and forgiveness. 'Every name that He bears is a blessing He shares'. Be encouraged as we consider 'the Wonderful Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace' - Immanuel, God with us.

Generally, in the western world, we value the physical realm and ignore the spiritual. But whilst the Bible calls us to value the body as holy, it also points us to the superior nature of the spiritual and, indeed, how it can influence and determine the material world. We are spiritual beings as well as physical. We are in a spiritual war, so we must use the spiritual weapons that God has given us, which are very powerful. In 'Power Over Mind And Matter', you will learn from 2 Corinthians 10:2-5 what those spiritual weapons are and how to effectively use them for victory in your life.

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-20, Paul gives a list of the sinful lifestyles that will not inherit 'God's Holy Kingdom' - we are not to be deceived! However, every 'type' of sinner can enter the kingdom of God through repentance and faith. Paul exhorts us to live up to our identity as citizens of the kingdom of God. He challenges us as to our behaviours, what influences we are under or bound by and whether or not we are filled with the Holy Spirit as God's holy temples.

This prayer that Jesus taught His disciples in Luke 11:1-4 also teaches us how to be 'kingdom people'. This prayer can be prayed with our lives, as we become the prayer and the answer to it. 'The Lord's Prayer' would warrant a whole series of teaching, and even that could never exhaust its depths - but here in one message, David seeks to highlight the kingdom principles that are in the will of God for us to pray for, and live out.

Mark's record of this miracle in Mark 9:14-29 is different in some ways to Matthew's account. One very significant difference is how the father of the afflicted boy confessed his faith in Jesus' ability to heal; but he also admitted that he had unbelief in his heart too. There are many lessons to learn in this story concerning what demonic affliction can do to someone, even from childhood, and how Jesus ultimately set the boy free. However, we see one very encouraging truth in particular: though the boy's father's faith was imperfect, Jesus still honoured it and healed the boy. God answers even imperfect faith.

This intriguing story of the Syrophoenician woman in Matthew 15:21-31 raises many questions for us, not least how incongruent Jesus' words and behaviour seem, in contrast to what we know and love about His character and personality. Like Jesus did with the woman, this story invites us to probe deeper into its not so obvious meaning. What is Jesus up to in this rather atypical behaviour? There are actually some precious lessons here on the nature of God revealed in Christ, the wideness of God's grace to the whole world and the type of faith that Jesus encourages us to have and responds to.

In Matthew 12:28-29, 43-45, Jesus gives us some dynamics of how the demonic realm gains influence over our lives. We need to understand this if we are to be protected. Of course, the Gospel gives us the means of freedom to get the devil out! We'll learn about that too. We see in this teaching that Jesus was talking about more than just a person's individual problems with sin and Satan, but also how whole nations and populations let the devil in.

In this miracle in Luke 13:10-17, we learn that some physical illnesses can have spiritual causes behind them. The woman in this story had to be loosed from a spirit of infirmity that she had because of something that took place in her life 18 years previously. Healing and deliverance often must come together for people to be made whole. We need to understand how the demonic can sometimes affect our health. The good news is that Jesus can still loose people from the bondage of evil spirits that bind them and debilitate their health and well-being.
