“Which crisis are you celebrating this year?” – Christmas Message 22 – Romans 8:31-39

An honest Christmas message: given all the crises we seem to be dealing with, is there any real hope at the moment? We look at Romans 8:31-39 to see that Jesus gives us hope especially in times of hardship.

The Understand the Bible Christmas message for 2021!

Taking a break

I’ll be taking a break from Understand the Bible over the Christmas period, and will return in the New Year. I am planning to start a new series on the Ten Commandments, to follow on from the Apostle’s Creed which finished last month.

I feel that this year has been a good year for Understand the Bible, thank you to everyone who has helped by watching, subscribing, commenting, sending encouraging messages, and so on. I pray that 2022 will be a good year and that the Word of God may continue to spread and flourish (Acts 12:24).

Whose fault is 2020? – Christmas Message

Someone recently described 2020 as the worst year in their lifetime. Maybe you feel like that too. Coronavirus and lockdowns, BLM, politics, division, it’s all kicked off. But who is at fault? Who is to blame for 2020? And what does the Bible have to say about it?

Taking a break

I will be taking a break over the next couple of weeks. This means no Regular features such as Learn to read the Bible or Thought for the week. All regular content will be returning in early January.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Understand the Bible in every way over this past year – I appreciate it so much. I feel like God has blessed the ministry over this past year, and I am looking forward to seeing the way he wants UTB to develop over the coming year.

All that remains is to wish you all a very happy Christmas and new year, and I pray God’s blessings upon each and every one of you. May he keep you safe and be your guide now and ever more.
