| | Biblical Assurance (Part 2) by Paul Washer
Topic: Assurance
Scripture(s): 1 John 1:8-9 | | Description: In the first message of this series, Paul Washer exhorted us to examine whether our ongoing style of life reflects the character and the will of God. Now, in Part 2, he introduces the second test by which we can truly know that we have been born again: it concerns our attitude to sin. From the verses above, Mr Washer explains how a true Christian will be sensitive to sin in their life, and how they will be led to genuine brokenness and confession. (40 minutes)

| | Biblical Assurance (Part 3) by Paul Washer
Topic: Assurance
Scripture(s): 1 John 2:3-6 | | Description: Paul Washer now expounds the third and fourth Biblical tests by which we can be assured that the faith we profess is genuine, and that we have truly believed unto salvation: they concern keeping God’s commandments, and walking as Christ walked. Whilst explaining these in detail, he also shows that he is advocating neither salvation by works nor legality. Rather, these tests concern fruit-bearing. The manner of our life (ie, the fruit) evidences whether God has truly saved us or not. (34 minutes)

| | Biblical Assurance (Part 4) by Paul Washer
Topic: Assurance
Scripture(s): 1 John 2:7-11, 1 John 3:14-19 | | Description: Paul Washer now expounds the fifth Biblical test by which we can be assured that our faith is genuine: it concerns our love for the brethren, i.e. the true children of God. Possibly the greatest sign of true Christianity, says Mr Washer, is that you love the brothers. He then proceeds to explain in detail who is our brother, and what is the manner of that unconditional love by which the true child of God will lay down his life for his brother. (35 minutes)

| | Biblical Assurance (Part 5) by Paul Washer
Topic: Assurance
Scripture(s): 1 John 2 | | Description: In this last message of the series, Paul Washer explains more Biblical tests by which believers can find assurance of the genuineness of their faith. These are: not loving the world; persevering in the faith; embracing the fullness of Christ’s person; the practice of righteousness; and trust in the sole sufficiency of Christ. From various verses in 1st John, Mr Washer clearly explains each issue, and ends with a personal testimony from his own family life. (57 minutes)

| | Blessed are the Meek by Paul Washer
Topic: Meekness
Scripture(s): Matthew 5:5, Psalm 37:1-11 | | Description: Paul Washer begins this exposition of Matthew 5:5 by explaining that ‘The Beatitudes’ (verses 3-11) do not just speak of what it is to live a blessed life, but they speak of conformity to the image of Christ, for they are a great description of Jesus Christ as he walked on this earth. Many preachers say little more about meekness than showing that is not weakness; but what does the word really mean? The true meaning of any word is defined not merely through a dictionary, but by studying the context of the passage(s) where it occurs; so, using the obvious parallels between Matthew 5:5 and Psalm 37:11, Mr Washer uses the context of Psalm 37:1-11 to define the word ‘meek’. He works through the verses one by one, revealing the character of the meek man: he does not fret, nor envy the wicked; he trusts in God and dwells in the land; he delights himself in the Lord, commits his way unto the Lord, rests in the Lord, and so on. “This is what it means to be meek”, says Mr Washer, “and it is one of our greatest needs today”.
