    S2 Ep2288: Love is - a prayer | Phil 1.1-11 | Malcolm Cox | 14 September 2025
    Sep 16 2025
    Loving one another from the heart naturally leads us to pray for one another with joy—and that kind of prayer produces the fruit of spiritual maturity.

    In this sermon from Philippians 1:1–11, we explore how Paul’s joyful prayers for the Philippians flowed from their shared life in the gospel and how his purpose-driven prayers called them to deeper love, knowledge, and discernment. Along the way, we’ll see that prayer is not just words—it’s the root that grows kingdom fruit in each other’s lives.

    With personal reflections and practical application, this message calls us to:

    * Pray for one another with joy, even in hard times.
    * Let love overflow in real, everyday ways.
    * Seek maturity that comes through Jesus, for God’s glory.

    If you want a simple way to bless others and grow in Christ yourself, start here: love is a prayer.

    S2 Ep2287: "What is God growing?" | Malcolm Cox | 07 September 2025
    Sep 7 2025
    1 Corinthians 3.6–9
    “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labour of each. For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building."

    We explore how this passage connects:
    - Personal growth → God grows the individual Christian.
    - Congregational growth → the church is “God’s field” and “God’s building.”
    - Kingdom growth → God’s power multiplies faithful planting and watering into something far greater.

    God bless, Malcolm

    Matthew 18.1-9
    “At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.

    “If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to the one by whom the stumbling block comes!

    “If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than to have two hands or two feet and to be thrown into the eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to stumble, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and to be thrown into the hell of fire.”

    What does it mean to fight selfish ego and welcome the 'little one?

    S2 Ep2282: "The Paradox of Peace and Suffering in the Christian Life" | Malcolm Cox | Quiet Time Coaching Episode 572
    May 22 2025
    I have been reading and studying about the concept of Sabbath, and, more broadly, rest. It seems there is a paradox in the Christian life. How to embrace both the peace of Christ and his suffering.

    S2 Ep2282: "Breaking the Hurry Habit" | Malcolm Cox | Quiet Time Coaching Episode 571
    May 15 2025
    Reflecting on a video by John Ortberg I watched recently, a simple but piercing truth struck me: hurry is a symptom. It’s also a habit—but more than that, it’s a signal. The deeper question is, what is hurry trying to achieve? And what is it trying to cover?
