    Reflection

    Jesus' cleansing of the temple graphically proclaims that the temple was no only needed. Jesus is the the temple and with the Holy Spirit in us, we become a temple. God is among his people, bringing in his kingdom.

    John 2:13-22 “Reflection” INTRODUCTION I have always found the scene of Jesus cleansing the temple puzzling, if not troubling. It seems so out of character for Jesus. Certainly, he has shown anger before at the hardheartedness and judgmentalism of some people, but he has never ...read more

     | 7,586 views

    The sermon takes a look at the cosmic struggle between evil and good - between Satan and Eve (and Adam) (Round 1), Satan and Jesus (Round 2), and finally Round 3...Satan vs. YOU... Special attention is paid on 1 John 2:15-17 concerning Satan's 3 weapons.

    Think of Satan… What comes to your mind immediately? Did an image of an angry-looking red being holding a pitch fork come to your mind? Or maybe you see a plump guy with horns and a fanatical smirk on his face? Whatever it is, we have to ask ourselves: Is our mental picture of Satan fuelled ...read more

    ¿Por qué el título de dardos satánicos? La palabra Satanás en hebreo quiere decir literalmente adversario o enemigo y con dardos satánicos me refiero a tres voluntades, a tres deseos, a tres áreas que son contrarias a Dios y que se levantan como enemigos
