The Bitter Cup That Sweetens the Soul – Hebrews 12:9-10

February 8, 2026 • 53 mins

This way of dealing becomes the relation between God and believers, as father and children; namely, that he should chastise, and they should bear it patiently.—This makes it evident that there is such a relation between them. And this the apostle illustrates from the way and manner of men in that relation one to another. – John Owen

Isaiah 2

February 4, 2026 • 51 mins

Among all the prophets Isaiah justly holds the chief place, because he gives very clear testimonies concerning Christ, and places before our eyes the state and condition of his Church, that is, of his kingdom, as the reading will alone clearly shew, so that it will be unnecessary for me to make a long preface. He who shall have understood him well will be abundantly prepared for reading the other Prophets. – John Calvin

The Rod of Discipline in Our Father’s Hands – Hebrews 12:5-6

January 18, 2026 • 55 mins

There is a reason given us in these words why we should not faint under divine chastisements. And this reason consists in a general rule, whereby what is spoken before is confirmed as highly reasonable, and way is made for what ensues. And this rule is of that nature, as is suited to answer all objections against the doctrine of afflictions, and God’s dealing with us in them; which, when we come to the trial, we shall find to...

Consider Him: The Cure for Weary Pilgrims – Hebrews 12:3-4

January 11, 2026 • 50 mins

To abide and persevere in suffering and labour for the name of Christ, is, not to faint or be wearied. Wherefore, to be “wearied” in this case, is to be so pressed and discouraged with the greatness or length of difficulties and trials as to draw back, to give over partially or totally from the profession of the gospel. For there is such a weariness, as whereon men do not absolutely give over the work or labour wherein ...

Herein, as I said, the apostle issues his encouraging exhortation unto perseverance in the faith and obedience of the gospel. He had before gathered up particular instances for our example, from the beginning of the world. And he chose out those persons which were most eminent, and those things wherein their faith was most eminent, wherein they have witnessed unto the truth which he confirms. Some did it by doing, and some by suffe...

See how our works lie under the curse of the law if they are tested by the standard of the law. But how can unhappy souls set themselves with alacrity to a work from which they cannot hope to gain any thing in return but cursing? On the other hand, if freed from this severe exaction, or rather from the whole rigor of the law, they hear themselves invited by God with paternal levity, they will cheerfully and alertly obey […]
