    During the Last Supper, Jesus tells disciples that they are not of this world. And in the epistles, we see that Christians are dead to sin. In this message, we look at what it means to be dead but spiritually alive.

    Dead To The World Let’s open with John 18:36. Jesus has been arrested and is being questioned by Pilate. “Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from ...read more

    Seeing Jesus should be on the top of our list of things we are looking forward to in heaven. And when we see Him, we will be amazed and we will be made just like Him.

    What we are, and whose we are will not be fully evident until the Lord returns for His own. Then we shall see Him as He is. Then we shall be transformed, and fully conformed to His image.

    PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOPEFUL. 1 John 3:1-3. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection.

    Someone asked: “What’s all the fuss? Why are some Christians giving so much attention to the end times? There are so many different theories. Everyone thinks his or her theory is right. Where did these theories come from? It is all very confusing.

    Depending on what you’ve heard, it certainly can be confusing. However, it should give us great comfort to know that God has a plan for our world, and it is all coming together according to His Divine purpose. Almighty God, who knows the end from the beginning, will make sure that everything turns ...read more
