What does it really mean to “stand firm in the true grace of God”? In this inspiring and richly biblical study, Brian Johnston takes readers on a journey through the Apostle Peter’s first letter—unpacking what Peter himself declared as his purpose in writing: “This is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it!” (1 Peter 5:12). With warmth and clarity, Brian explores five key facets of God’s grace revealed in 1 Peter:

• Grace in Salvation – God’s sovereign mercy in choosing, redeeming, and giving us new life through Christ.
• Grace in Service – The privilege of being built into God’s spiritual house and priesthood.
• Grace in Sanctification – Living set apart for God amid testing and opposition.
• Grace in Suffering – Learning to endure trials with faith and hope.
• Grace in Subjection – Humility and dependence in leadership and daily life.

Drawing on Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, he emphasizes that salvation is entirely of God’s doing—grace from start to finish. This book will strengthen believers to remain steadfast, worshipful, and grounded in the unchanging grace of God.

“After you have suffered a little while… the God of all grace… will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.” — 1 Peter 5:10

In recent decades in the western world we’ve seen a retreat away from Christian beliefs. But what if the prized values of ‘the west’ could be shown to be fundamentally Christian values? What if the western world has retreated away from Christian beliefs, but without leaving behind its Christian values? What if those things we refer to as ‘human rights’ have been left behind by the retreating tide of Christianity? If that’s true, it would surely prove to be a confidence-builder for those espousing Christianity. They’d be able to ‘own’ the core values of society as being Christian values, and so be aware of – and even be able to celebrate – the historic achievements of Christianity in its broadest terms. Drawing on the writings of Tom Holland and Glen Scrivener, in this short book Brian shows that this is indeed the case.

In Paul's letter to Titus, the one quality commanded as characteristic of every believer is self-control.  If it was true for the challenging culture of Crete back then, it's no less true for the world we live in today, a world that in many places seems set on throwing off all kinds of restraints.

Here, by the Spirit of God, Paul singles out the vital need for restrained living in an unrestrained society. God wants all of us to be serious about spiritual things. In a culture back then that was unruly and rebellious, the Lord was looking for those who could restrain their appetites, their minds, their bodies, their words and their habits. In this short series, Brian shares Paul's model that gives us a primer for Christian living in any age.

This is a valuable series for anyone who is interested in the worship of God according to the scriptural pattern. Bible teacher Brian Johnston traces how Old Testament Israel worshipped their God - the God of Zion - including via the 'songs of Zion' in drawing near to worship at the house of God, and as pilgrims drew near on their upward journey to Jerusalem ('earthly Zion') in the 'Songs of Ascents.' Brian explains from John 4, 1 Peter 2, and Hebrews 3, 10 and 12 how this drawing near to God's physical house has a wonderful counterpart in the New Testament - a spiritual house in which it is possible for obedient believers to draw near in faith to God week by week to worship Him in spirit and in truth in the heavenly Zion.

Towards the end of 2023, world news was dominated by events triggered when Hamas gunmen launched an unprecedented assault on Israel from the Gaza Strip. As Bible teacher Brian Johnston demonstrates in this podcast series, it was prophesied by various Bible prophets more than two and a half thousand years ago that the precise location of the Gaza Strip would undergo violence in the time of the end. This is now happening before our very eyes as we view daily media news reports. Brian also explores how the countries surrounding Israel and currently hostile to her are singled out in the Bible by numerous prophets as being the targets of divine judgement, and looks for clues as to the identity of the Antichrist who will pretend to be Israel's Saviour.

Even if you’re already familiar with the Gospel, join Brian Johnston as we follow Paul’s expert and Spirit-filled defence of it. Paul will soon be standing for the defence of the Gospel before Caesar’s tribunal at the heart of the Empire, but in the pages of his letter to the Romans he’s already set out a wonderfully orderly 8-part defence of the Gospel that systematically defeats every conceivable objection to it: (1) Introduction (2) Condemnation (3) Justification (4) Sanctification (5) Glorification (6) Predestination (7) Transformation (8) Conclusion.

We’ve all heard the term ‘fake news’ - Donald Trump made sure we did. If something’s fake, we can be sure it’s false. There’s a true story about an elderly gentleman who was so animated in his preaching of the gospel - God’s Good News - that at one point his full set of false teeth flew out of his mouth and clattered onto the floor. With no more ado, he calmly descended from the pulpit and collected his teeth from the floor in front of his audience. By the time he’d returned to the pulpit and was facing his audience once more, the teeth were already back in his mouth, and he continued quite unfazed by announcing to his spell-bound listeners: ‘There’s nothing false about the Gospel!’

It's that gospel of good news which is the subject of this series of mini-sermons from Bible teacher Brian Johnston.

Discover magazine once announced: “The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing—zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere.” Why do apparently intelligent people resort to believing in magic (miraculous events without any sufficient explanation or cause)? Former nuclear scientist Brian Johnston explores five ways atheists (materialists) believe in magic – in relation to the origin of (1) the universe, (2) stars, (3) life, (4) biodiversity, and (5) morality.

In this series, we join the writer of the Book of Chronicles as he records when God opened the way for his people to return from an enforced exile and to resume their previous temple service for Him in Jerusalem.  Brian Johnston explores the valuable lessons that we can learn from the multi-faceted temple gate-keepers, who were the guards of the temple entrances, the supervising stewards of the people’s contributions, the temple’s night-watchmen, those responsible for admitting into its precincts only those who had a right to be there, the keepers of an inventory of the temple equipment, and the supervisors of the worship ingredients.

“They said to one another, ‘Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?’” (Lk.24:27:32) Burning hearts! The inevitable result of having the Bible explained so it all begins to make sense and the person and work of Christ, its central character, comes into sharper focus. I used to think it would be wonderful to know what Old Testament incidents, symbols and themes the Lord unpacked for them. The way to do it seems obvious now! Wouldn't they be the same things that he and his Apostles spoke about - things that were later recorded and expounded in the New Testament? This series is the result of that thought process and picks up on these themes using as near as possible the order in which we encounter them in the Old Testament.

“They said to one another, ‘Were our hearts not burning within us when He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?’” (Lk.24:27:32) Burning hearts! The inevitable result of having the Bible explained so it all begins to make sense and the person and work of Christ, its central character, comes into sharper focus. I used to think it would be wonderful to know what Old Testament incidents, symbols and themes the Lord unpacked for them. The way to do it seems obvious now!

In the days of Moses, God lived in the Tabernacle tent in the middle of his people - a portable structure that moved with them on their journey. It included the sacred chest known as the ark of the covenant, normally located in the holy innermost part of God's house which symbolized the Lord's presence. In this short book, Bible teacher Brian Johnston traces the ark's 500-year journey from Sinai to Zion and explains how the ark is a picture of the Lord Jesus who accompanies Christians on their spiritual journey, and gives lessons for our daily walk today.

On January 28, 1986, 7 Space Shuttle Challenger astronauts exited gravity and entered eternity. President Reagan gave quite a speech that day, paraphrasing the poetry of an Air Force volunteer: they “slipped the surly bonds of earth … and touched the face of God.” To touch the face of God suggests intimacy, as with someone we know well. In the Bible, we often find expressions such as “seeking God’s face” to describe prayer, and occasionally “the softening of his face” which suggests soothing, possibly by touching. One of the most amazing revelations about God in the Bible is that he wants you and me to become intimate with him - and the goal of this book, starting with God’s revelation to the prophet Ezekiel, is quite simply to help that become a reality.

The Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s a contest with many rounds, not just one. Comparing Christians to athletes, and personalizing it, the Apostle Paul says, “I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:26-27). The picture of a boxer is especially apt, as experience teaches us that we don’t need to go very far in the Christian life before we start taking ‘blows’ or ‘hits.’ In another place, Paul talks about being “struck down” (2 Corinthians 4:9).

He goes on to make it clear that he was down, but not out. But, sadly, for many today the ‘knock-out’ rate is high. What are those ‘hooks’ that leave many sprawling on the canvas? They are the same ones that godly people have been experiencing since Bible times. This series bring together some of the notable ‘sucker punches’ that often get thrown at Christians – discouragement, guilt, failure, anxiety, distraction, lust, anger, pride, doubts, greed, divisions and disappointments. It aims to help us to draw on the resource of the Bible’s guidance to enable us to keep our guard up.

Comparing Christians to athletes, and personalizing it, the Apostle Paul says, “I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air; but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:26-27). The picture of a boxer is especially apt, as experience teaches us that we don’t need to go very far in the Christian life before we start taking ‘blows’ or ‘hits.’ In another place, Paul talks about being “struck down” (2 Corinthians 4:9). He goes on to make it clear that he was down, but not out. But, sadly, for many today the ‘knock-out’ rate is high. What are those ‘hooks’ that leave many sprawling on the canvas? They are the same ones that godly people have been experiencing since Bible times. This series bring together some of the notable ‘sucker punches’ that often get thrown at Christians – discouragement, guilt, failure, anxiety, distraction, lust, anger, pride, doubts, greed, divisions and disappointments. It aims to help us to draw on the resource of the Bible’s guidance to enable us to keep our guard up.

To be credible, any worldview must answer four questions - about our origins, our morality, our (life’s) meaning, and our destiny. When the author’s daily Bible readings took him to Isaiah 37-47, he found the Biblical worldview does just that in an impressive declaration and demonstration of the sovereignty of God. That’s what led to the writing of this book, which along the way seeks to answer some important questions that have puzzled people for centuries:

- What does the Bible categorically say about human origins? - Does God change his mind? - Why did God order the killing of peoples in the Old Testament? - Has Israel been left out of God’s purposes? - Why bother praying? - Was Jesus’ crucifixion simply a terrible accident? - Does God decide who is saved and who isn’t? - What are God’s purposes in the end times? - Does man have free wills? - Do the sign gifts operate today in God's purposes?

1. The unseen movement of the Holy Spirit in the creation, the incarnation, the inspiration (of Scripture), mission (the gospel) and the foundation (of churches of God).

2. The movement of God to deal with the pride of Satan, which started before creation and will end with the Devil being thrown into the Lake of Fire, along with his angels and unbelievers.
