It's too easy to get complacent about the Return of the Lord. How do we keep the dream alive?

The Apostle Peter tells us we have a prophetic Word, given by God through men as they were "carried along" by the Holy Spirit. And that Word tells us that the light of Christ will shine in our present darkness and arise as the morning star in our hearts.

The Apostle Peter was facing the end of his life. Hear what was important to him, what he wanted to leave as a legacy to Christians as he neared the end of his time 'tabernacling' in this life. And hear the surprising connections between his reminders and God's Day of Atonement.

Moses' prayers lead to the revelation of Jesus Christ Himself - this is reflected throughout the Torah that Moses wrote, including specific details of the plan of Salvation detailed in the Old Testament Biblical Festivals. The Passover is one of those key Festivals

The first church exploded on the Day of Pentecost and the following days in Jerusalem. The church is not "an option" for Christians. Jesus said He would build His church and it is what every true Christian becomes a part of.

What do we learn about Moses and Israel crossing the Red Sea, the Resurrection of Jesus and their impact on humanity and Christians today? Can we really accept that Jesus was resurrected from the dead?

How lavish is your love for Christ? A "Sinful Woman" anointed Jesus' feet early in His ministry. The anointing was repeated just before His death, similar to His washing of His disciples at The Lord's Passover meal.

Jesus said: "Whoever is little forgiven, little loves". How much do we realise what we have been forgiven and therefore how much shall we love? A message for the Passover and Lord's Supper season.

The Kingdom of God will be the most beautiful Kingdom of all time - there on the horizon. But to enter, we will need the paperwork - a Visa. What is that Visa? And what is the requirement of God for those granted His Visa?

What lies at the heart of the Christian life? How can we make central to living in the Way of Christ? The Apostle Paul expressed to the Thessalonians - in his love-filled letter - the most vital and critical lessons he could about the impact of the Gospel and the Promises of God in our lives.

The Apostle Paul wrote from the heart to the Thessalonians in one of the most beautiful expressions of the love of true Gospel Teachers, reflecting the Love of God for His people and the final hope we have in Jesus Christ. At the same time, he pointed out distinguishing characteristics of false teachers.

Most churches do not understand how God's grace links the very first Pentecost with the Pentecost we see when the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples in the Book of Acts! Just one verse is shocking in its ignored implications for how Christians should treat the Grace of God and the Holy Spirit.

A brief message: How do we reconcile the nature of free will, God's commands and sacrifice and offerings? How do the ancient sacrificial offerings commanded for Israel apply to our lives as Christians today?

The great and precious promises of God culminate in a New Heavens and a New Earth. With that in mind, we are to grow in grace and knowledge so that we may present before God the Great Judge at the Last Great Day - spotless, blameless and at peace with Him.

A reading of 2 Peter Chapter 2.

Peter left us reminders of why we can believe the truths about Jesus Christ and His Return - as pictured in the Feast of Tabernacles - by pointing us to the Transfiguration. we learn the surprising direct links between the Transfiguration and the Feast of Tabernacles and why observing these days is such a blessing to Christians.

God has given us great and precious promises of His divine nature of salvation and of the future. What's it worth to know this God? What are His promises for us and for the future? 2 Peter has some astonishing answers.

​

The Passover, Jesus & Nicodemus and The Last Passover of Jesus the Christ - how are they all connected?
Learn the importance of the new life - being born again by eating of the unleavened bread that is Christ.

What importance should we attach to the Unleavened Bread of Christ? Is it just rituals that will change us, or the divine love living in our hearts?

Paul shows by his comments to the Thessalonians how the Atonement demonstrates the heart of God wishing to cleanse all humanity.

Paul's instructions to the Thessalonians regarding sexual purity and how Christians are to live displays one of the great concerns of the New Testament: Being made into the image of God - Holy - through the Mind of Jesus Christ in us. Then He will present us blameless before Christ in the Kingdom.

What does the Bible tell us will actually happen to all humanity in the Resurrection and the Judgement? Think of the roster of those who have died with or without Christ. What will happen to them? It's not what most of Christianity says, but so much better according to the Scriptures. In light of the Return of Jesus Christ and the future laid out for humanity, how do Christians prepare today - in this life - for God's future fulfilment of His Plan?

The Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was the motivating hope of the early Christians - it is the greatest hope of all true Christians. The Old Testament Feast of Trumpets combined with the teachings of Christ and the Apostles gives us incredibly clear and motivating truths about the prophetic fulfillment in the birth, life, sacrifice and resurrection of The Son of God, Jesus Christ, and His Promised Coming with wrath and justice.

The Resurrection is the most profound event to impact humanity and the cosmos. Yet, it was a very personal event. See how the disciples running to the empty tomb and Mary wandering, lost, looking for her Saviour, becomes our example of running from our emptiness to our Lord, the Risen Christ.

Have you ever realised that Esther is a Passover story? And like all Passover stories, there are startling particulars that foreshadow the details of Jesus Christ our Passover, Saviour from the sins of all mankind.
