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!
In this short passage, the Israelites once again find themselves in a situation with no water – and they put God to the test. What does that mean, and what does it have to teach us? How should we relate to God in times like this?

While the Israelites were travelling through the wilderness / desert, God miraculously provided for them. He gave them bread (“manna”) from heaven every day. What does this have to teach Christians about how God provides for us?

What happens when we die? What will heaven be like? In the final part of this course, we look at the future. How do we get to be in the new creation? What is hell? And how should the future shape how we live now?

There used to be an expression “These things are sent to try us”. But people rarely use it these days – it seems that people don’t think about God testing us at all. But it is clear from the Bible that God does test us. What does it mean, and what does God want from us?
