David Pawson looks in depth at the character of Jesus, which serves as the model of behaviour for Christians. We encounter the Lord’s compassion and total honesty here. David offers a more complete and balanced view than is often preached. For instance, he looks at the times when Jesus displayed anger at sinful actions or against injustice. In Jesus, this was a measured, targeted anger, not uncontrolled or unjustified. Just as he obeyed the Father, so he was obeyed by others during his ministry on earth. Christians today must also obey his commands rather than treat them as optional, and in so doing give him their complete trust, which is evidence of their love for him.

David shows that, uniquely, we can trust Jesus in a way that no one else can be trusted: “You can trust him with your life. You can trust him with your death. You can trust him with the future in time and eternity. You can trust him with your sins. You can trust him with your problems. You can trust him with everything.” Jesus proved himself to be just and merciful and David shows that this balance of justice and mercy can only be grasped by considering the cross. He also explores the significance of the Lord’s Supper as “a meal with Jesus” that reminds us of his life, death, resurrection, and glorified body. This sacrament unites us with him and with our fellow believers, the church body.

Finally, David explores the use of parables as a teaching method to convey truths to those who are open to the Gospel, and to conceal them from those whose hearts are closed to it. Jesus does not force anyone to come to him or accept his teaching, but those who seek him can find him. They are able to do so because “the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people” is human as well as divine, which makes him the “one mediator” between us and the Father.

David Pawson regards the book of Revelation as “probably the most important book in the New Testament for the Church to be studying right now for the very practical purpose for which it was written”, namely, to be “a manual for martyrdom”. Jesus provides encouragement to Christians facing persecution, exhorting them to endure and overcome. The book has present and future relevance for believers, and while it is addressed to the believers in the first-century AD, Jesus’ words and the prophecies (some yet to be fulfilled) speak just as powerfully to Christians and the Church today.

The many competing interpretations have caused confusion, particularly in relation to prophetic symbolism and the timings and nature of future events. If there are “as many riddles as there are words” here, then David demystifies and solves the book’s riddle by explaining the more controversial, widely debated, and variously interpreted middle chapters, while also advocating reading Revelation in the plainest sense where possible.

Jesus, in his compassion, has warned believers to prepare for his Second Coming. They are to remain faithful by upholding morals, resisting corruption, and identifying and opposing deception (false teaching), and, if necessary, enduring persecution. David unpacks Revelation’s symbolism while addressing divisive subjects. Regarding the (Secret) Rapture, he argues that the book prepares believers to live through the Big Trouble (Tribulation), and adopts a pre-millennial position.

Jesus promises to return to avenge the blood of the martyrs, while warning that backsliding believers will lose their place in the Book of Life and the New Jerusalem. Yet faithful overcomers will receive their inheritance. God is in control and Christians must ready themselves for Christ’s return. Revelation’s message is not just that “Jesus wins” but that he wants every believer to win” with him.

The so-called ‘Lord’s Prayer’ is full of surprises. For one thing, the Lord could never have used it himself, with its central and longest plea for forgiveness. Though he gave it as a model for private prayer, it has become the most common corporate liturgy of the church. Its brevity is striking, consistent with his criticism of pagan devotions with their ‘many words’.

It is for weekdays rather than Sundays. Try using it for a month.

The so-called ‘Lord’s Prayer’ is full of surprises. For one thing, the Lord could never have used it himself, with its central and longest plea for forgiveness. Though he gave it as a model for private prayer, it has become the most common corporate liturgy of the church. Its brevity is striking, consistent with his criticism of pagan devotions with their ‘many words’.

An intensive look at the Christian Church down the ages, providing powerful messages for our own times.  Many church members know little or nothing about the story of Christianity between the New Testament period and today.  They therefore may not realise how much they have been influenced by traditions developed during that time. These can have both a negative and positive benefit. Negative, because ‘those who forget history are condemned to relive it’. Most of the mistakes we make and errors we fall into have happened before and we can learn from our forefathers to avoid them. Positive, because we have such a rich heritage it would be folly to ignore. We can draw inspiration and examples from the spiritual giants who went before us and, after all, we can look forward to meeting them personally in glory.

An opinion poll in Britain found that around two-thirds of the population claimed to ‘believe in God’.  To understand the significance of this fact, further questions should have been asked: ‘which god?’; and, ‘what sort of god?’ The first was necessary because of the influx of immigrants with other religions. The second was necessary because even among Christians opinions vary about the kind of God they worship.

While David was preparing this series of sermons on God’s multifaceted character, he hit on the idea of linking divine attributes to the letters of the alphabet, hoping thereby to make it easier for his listeners to remember them. All went well until the letter ‘X’. Whether this was dealt with satisfactorily you can to decide.

We don’t find prayer easy, but prayer is the vital element in our life as God intended. David Pawson says that Christian prayer is unique and at its heart is conversation with God. Our Father loves us to express our need to Him. David Pawson discusses the privilege of prayer, which he says is practising the presence of God.

Jesus is the centre of prayer – His teaching and example, His Blood and His intercession for us and our prayer in His Name. Who and what should we pray for? What was Jesus’ pattern and discipline in prayer?

The Spirit shows us how to pray and He prays with us. We can pray with the mind and also at a level deeper than the mind.

David Pawson illustrates praying with tears, sighs and using other languages. He concludes by showing how we can receive the gift of praying in another language. A really practical guide to praying, for every Christian.

A seven part series on the Letter to the Romans. Why would Paul write his longest letter to a church he had not founded or even visited?  This expositor believes the answer lies in its history, culminating in a major crisis which could have split the whole church into two denominations. Originally Jewish (Acts 2:10–11), it soon attracted Gentiles, who were left on their own when Claudius evicted all Jews (Acts 18:2).  In their absence a teaching emerged which we now know as ‘Replacement Theology’, believing that God has rejected the Jews and turned instead to the Christian Church as his chosen people on earth, a view which, alas, is now widespread.

Paul’s carefully argued answer shows how much believing Jews and Gentiles have in common, both in sin and salvation, in flesh and Spirit. This approach treats ‘Chapters 9–11’, (divisions never in his letter) as an integral part of his appeal, reaching its climax in a threefold challenge to the arrogance of the Gentile believers in Rome (11:18, 20, 25) in not warmly welcoming back into the fellowship the Jews who were allowed to return under Nero. This ‘key’ unlocks the whole epistle, from the solemn warning that believers can lose their salvation (11:20–22) to the careful instruction on how to live with ‘disputable matters’ such as diet and days (14:1 – 15:13); and ends with so many commands to greet each other with ‘a holy kiss’ (16:16). However, as with most of Paul’s practical counsel, all this is firmly rooted in sound ‘gospel’ theology.

This ‘key’ unlocks the whole epistle, from the solemn warning that believers can lose their salvation (11:20–22) to the careful instruction on how to live with ‘disputable matters’ such as diet and days (14:1 – 15:13); and ends with so many commands to greet each other with ‘a holy kiss’ (16:16). However, as with most of Paul’s practical counsel, all this is firmly rooted in sound ‘gospel’ theology.

A seven part series on the Letter to the Romans. Why would Paul write his longest letter to a church he had not founded or even visited?  This expositor believes the answer lies in its history, culminating in a major crisis which could have split the whole church into two denominations. Originally Jewish (Acts 2:10–11), it soon attracted Gentiles, who were left on their own when Claudius evicted all Jews (Acts 18:2).  In their absence a teaching emerged which we now know as ‘Replacement Theology’, believing that God has rejected the Jews and turned instead to the Christian Church as his chosen people on earth, a view which, alas, is now widespread.

“Many of us have an ambiguous attitude towards the future. We have a mixture of fascination and fear. We would like to know what is going to happen, but then we are not quite sure that we would like to know.”

With insight borne of a lifetime of study and preaching, David Pawson guides you through the biblical teaching on the Second Coming and the last things (death, judgment, heaven, and hell). In his warm and engaging style, David provides both a challenge and comfort to those who have, perhaps for the first time, found themselves considering the question of mortality and the afterlife. In doing so, he addresses pertinent questions such as:

What will happen when Christ returns? When will that be?  What is hell? Who will go there? What will heaven be like?  Will our relationships be the same there? How should we prepare for the afterlife now?

Drawing on the teachings of Jesus, David urges us to heed Christ’s warnings about birth pangs or signals and spiritual and physical struggle in the End Times. He challenges Christians to treat life as a preparation for the world to come and to find comfort in the promise of heaven where “God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
