Bible Study with David Hathaway - (David Hathaway’s weekly TV programmes)

I’ve learned something through my life: God loves you.

I remember bringing up my youngest daughter and the battles we sometimes had. I had to discipline her, but today she loves me deeply and works full-time in the mission. That taught me something about the heart of a father.

Deuteronomy 4:29 says:

“But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him ...

In John 9, Jesus encountered a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked, “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

But Jesus gave a very different answer: “This happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”

Jesus then made mud, put it on the man's eyes and told him to wash in the Pool of Siloam. The man obeyed – a...

In July, thousands of Christians gathered together in Kyiv for the National Day of Prayer. For 12 years since the annexation of Crimea and the Donbass, Ukraine has experienced unimaginable suffering and hardship. Yet they give thanks to God, because against all odds, they have survived another year. By His grace, the people have endured, preserved their unity; and their longing for true and lasting peace has only grown stronger.

Receiving the Kingdom like a child | Luke 18 reminds us that salvation is not earned by status, wealth, or religion, but received through simple trust in Christ.

‘People were also bringing babies to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, ‘Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God bel...

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7.24.)

I have built my life upon the Rock, which is Jesus Christ. I do not follow personalities or preachers; my desire is to know Christ. When I have faced the storms of life – through imprisonment and cancer – I have called upon God.

When I had throat cancer, I prayed...

Throughout Matthew 9, those who came to Jesus recognised who He truly was. The ruler, the woman with the issue of blood, and the two blind men all recognised Him as the Messiah and placed their confidence in Him.

Their example speaks to us today. Recognise who Jesus is, come to Him, and reach out to Him by faith. He will never reject those who come to Him. Religion cannot forgive sins or heal the sick, but Jesus can. The question f...

In John 9, Jesus saw a man who had been blind from birth. His disciples asked, “Who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” But how could he have sinned before he was even born?

Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.”

Over the years, I have witnessed many miracles. Jesus is still the Healer today. I nev...

What is your faith actually built on? When the storms of life hit and the ground begins to shift, where is your anchor?

Matthew chapters 7 and 8 reveal the sharp contrast between empty, powerless religion and the living authority of Jesus Christ. From the wise builder who dug deep into solid rock, to the desperate leper cleansed with a single touch, to a Roman centurion whose understanding of authority astonished Jesus Himself, we ...

I am looking for revival, for the Fire of the Holy Spirit, for the Power of God. Fire is mentioned many times throughout the Bible. Around 90 references to fire are directly linked to God, and on 11 occasions God answered by fire. Even at 94 years of age, I am still seeking more Fire, more Power, and a deeper experience of God.

The promise given to us is the Holy Spirit and fire. In Acts 2, fire actually appeared, yet many in the C...

Our God is about to do great things! Biblically, God’s power never diminishes – for those of us seeking Him, it’s as if His power actually increases, as we seek Him more and more. 

In a time of national calamity, Joel 2.21, 23 declares: “Do not be afraid, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things... Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for He has given you the aut...

Throughout the Bible, prophets, priests, and apostles were driven by a divine purpose. They were people of vision. Vision gives direction, purpose, and perseverance in all that we do. Scripture says, “Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it’” (Isaiah 30.21).

What God has spoken to me has directed my entire life. He has always given me His timing – revealing things t...

In Mark 10.23–31, Jesus teaches that wealth, status, and personal achievements cannot secure salvation. Using the illustration of a camel passing through the eye of a needle, He shows that entering God's Kingdom is impossible through human effort alone. When the disciples ask, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus answers with hope: "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

This passage remin...

'On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.

'Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and ...

I know Jesus is alive – I talked to Him this morning! The reality of our relationship with Christ is not in repeating prayers and phrases, it’s in knowing Him. I talk to Him, He talks to me!

I expect miracles to happen, it is normal in a true Christian life! I believe they will happen, and they do, as simple as that. I don’t just believe, I know that when I pray for the sick, people will be healed. I just talk to ...

I have always believed the prophecies in the Bible, Joel 2, God’s Promise of the former and latter rain. I believed that the first outpouring of the Holy Spirit was on that first Pentecost, but that we can and should experience the second Pentecost now. Although I had received my personal Baptism by the Holy Spirit aged 14, I wanted something greater, the promise of Joel 2. 

Our God is about to do great things! His power...

'Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you ill? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so t...

I’m seeing the Bible quite differently these days – it’s coming into a new perspective and I’m seeing things even at my age that I’ve never seen before. I’m seeing something in Matthew, that is so significant for the Church today. It’s challenging me, and I hope it challenges you, to examine exactly what we actually believe – and do!

In Matt 3.11 we find John the Baptist preaching rep...

We have a simple Gospel – don’t complicate it. Jesus called 12 disciples and gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness, saying, “Go, tell them, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand’.” Matt 10.1,7. He said this in difficult times, in a troubled society, where the Jews were divided amongst themselves, and Rome controlled the whole of Israel. His fame sp...
