We divine providence primarily through the biblical narrative of Joseph and his brothers, explaining how God uses human sin and suffering to accomplish a greater ultimate purpose. They emphasise that Joseph's enslavement, though resulting from the evil actions of his brothers, was actually orchestrated by God to preserve the lives of his family and ensure the formation of Israel as a distinctive nation. This theological perspective challenges believers to adopt Joseph’s mindset, encouraging forgiveness of personal grievances by acknowledging that even wrongs committed against them are woven into God's sovereign plan. The texts conclude by connecting Joseph’s story of preservation and reconciliation to the redemptive work of Christ and the church's role in offering hope and grace to the world.

A theological exposition on Genesis 44, analysing the transformative moment when Judah intercedes for his younger brother, Benjamin. The core argument focuses on Judah’s impassioned speech to Joseph, highlighting the dramatic offering of himself as a substitutionary slave to secure Benjamin’s freedom. This act of heroic self-sacrifice is presented as conclusive proof of the brothers' genuine repentance, contrasting sharply with their previous cruelty towards Joseph. The material structurally details how God employs trials to reveal character and how a truly changed heart expresses itself through selfless, sacrificial love for family. Ultimately, the text interprets Judah’s willingness to stand in the gap for his brother as a potent foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, whose ultimate sacrifice provides redemption for humanity. The study concludes with a three-point outline intended for preaching, emphasising responsibility, repentance, and reflection on Christ’s example

A short address presented to a Protestant association, uses historical military crises to highlight the necessity of spiritual reliance over human strength and numbers. The author draws a distinct connection between the seemingly impossible odds faced during the Siege of Londonderry in 1688 and the miraculous survival of Britain during the Second World War, specifically referencing the unexpected success of events like the evacuation at Dunkirk and the D-Day landings. Citing Psalm 3, the argument asserts that true national deliverance stems from God, who acts as a shield when believers cry out to Him. The piece argues that the foundational pillar of the Union is the shared Protestant faith, which should motivate political and personal conduct. Ultimately, the text challenges its audience to move beyond cultural identity and demonstrate genuine commitment through personal repentance and constant prayer for the nation’s future and liberties.
