The first commandment might be a puzzler: if there are no other gods, why should God feel the need to tell us not to worship them? And why is this commandment of paramound importance?

When we’re going through difficult times, it’s easy to feel that God is cold and distant. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. In this passage we see Jesus’ love and compassion in action, and what that means for how we relate to him.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was working on the Understand the Bible App. I’m pleased to announce that things have progressed to the point where it’s ready to be rolled out for general usage.
As of the time of writing, you can install it, you can use it to do UTB courses, and you can use it for Church with UTB.
I do need to write a tutorial for how to use Church with UTB, but apart from that it’s ready. Have a look at the app page for some screenshots and instructions!
Please do get in touch if you have comments or feedback, I’d love to hear it. (Constructive though, please!)
The Ten Commandments are the most famous laws in the world, yet few people know what all ten of them are. In this session we introduce the commandments: why did God give them to us? Are they picked arbitrarily? Did people not know right from wrong beforehand? And how are we supposed to obey them today? All this covered, and more.
The Ten Commandments are probably one of the most famous parts of the Bible. But are they still relevant for us today? And what does it mean for us as Christians to obey them? In this sermon we look at how the laws were designed to give us freedom.

Many Christians today have too low a view of who God is and what his holiness means. God is Almighty, not “all-matey”. This passage from Exodus 19 demonstrates what it means to come into God’s presence, and how much we should therefore treasure Christ.

For those of you who follow the sermons and Church with UTB, I just wanted to let you know that I will be taking a break over the next week or so. There will be no sermon for the next two weeks, and there is no service this Sunday. However, I have pre-planned a service for 25th August (with a guest preacher!), which will be available on the Understand the Bible App.
I’d like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who’s joined in over the last year – sermons, courses, and everything. I do appreciate it, God bless you all, and I will see you in a few weeks.
The church in the Western world have not seen many people converted. Many Christians are feeling discouraged and have perhaps even forgotten what conversion is all about. In this passage we look at the conversion of Jethro to see what God has to say to us today.

A popular Christian song speaks of Jesus “fighting our battles.” We’d like that to be true – but is it? In this passage, God was teaching the Israelites something important about what it means to fight for him. We need to learn the same lessons.

Back in 2020 – during those long, dark days of lockdown – I decided to create an app for Understand the Bible. Suffice it to say that it didn’t exactly set the world alight, and I decided to mothball it a few months later. Last year I created Church with UTB, and developed an app to go along with it. Although it still didn’t set the world alight, I have been using it regularly in our own church. With the experience I’ve had of developing the two different apps, I thought the time was ripe for putting that to good use and developing a new app which will combine them both.
So, as of today, the old Church with UTB app will no longer work, and instead you can access it using the new app. I’m pleased with it so far, but there is still plenty of work to do.
However, I’m releasing it now because I’d love your feedback. Please do let me know in the comments what you think of it – if you like it, if you have any comments or suggestions, etc. I’m willing to hear all of it!
I think the new app is a big improvement on both the apps which I’ve developed so far:
Please do try it, and please do let me know what you think!
