All the 'free' versions of the 99 meditations have been published to the website.

NEW! The membership section of the website has now been set up for those who wish to support the website and also gain access to the original, more detailed versions of each meditation, as well as to various articles and other resources.

1. Introductory Meditations

The first ten meditations provide the foundation needed to enter into the relationship with the Father that Jesus came to bring.

2. The Father in the Sermon on the Mount

Did you know that Jesus refers more frequently to the Father in Matthew 5-7 than he does to the kingdom of heaven?

3. The Father in the Parables of Jesus

Jesus often used parables to teach his disciples, and our relationship with God as our Father is an important theme in a number of these.

4. Human ‘Guardian Powers’ and the Father

Since all of us grow up under ‘guardians’, we face many obstacles in learning to walk in an adult relationship with our Father.

5. Suffering in the Lives of the Father's Sons and Daughters

Jesus, our Eldest Brother is our model for facing times of suffering with our Father.

6. Jesus' Resurrection and Our Relationship with the Father

At Easter time, do you ever think about the Father’s role in Jesus’ resurrection, or about its impact on us as his sons and daughters?

7. How Jesus' Ascension Impacts Our Relationship with the Father

Since Jesus’ ascension we have 2 ‘advocates’: one brings the Father close in our hearts, and one holds our place near him in heaven.

8. Barriers to Knowing the Father (from John's Gospel)

John records some ways people in his day were scandalized by Jesus' teaching about the Father. Are any of these an obstacle for you today?

9. The Father, Social Power and Church Leadership

How should our new adult relationship with the Father change the way church leaders relate to fellow believers, and vice-versa?

10. The Father and our Witness to the World

What the Bible says about how I should bear witness to Jesus in relationship with the Father, as well as in the power of the Spirit.

11. The Father, the End, and the World to Come

Christians are taught a lot about the return of Jesus and the end of this age, but very little about the role of the Father in all this.

Appendix: The Father in the Tanakh (Old Testament)

What can we learn about the Father from what he revealed to Israel? Did these Scriptures contain hints that he planned to reveal more later?
