Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, ...read more

    - A couple things up front. - First, there is a lot in this passage, yet the passage needs to be taken together. A lot of ideas are brought out, but it’s all a cohesive whole. So we are going to cover a lot of ground this evening. - Second, there is so much in this passage that there are ...read more

     | 485 views

    Passover is about redemption and foreshadows that Christ died for our sin; Unleavened Bread foreshadows the reason Christ died for our sins is – to make us holy.

    The Feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:4-8) 1. Since we are discussing the seven original annual Jewish Feasts, we should begin with a Jewish joke. 2.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 22, 2025
     | 100 views

    In this continuing study of the Restoration of God, we look at what sin ruined, the results of that; how the Lord identified with those results, and now what God has restored. This time our theme is SEPARATION. We look at what God restored – union and communion and fellowship.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – SEPARATION – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 4 It is hard to split this Second Consequence of man’s sin to make two messages. It is too big for one talk but does not split into two properly. That has made the first Part bigger and the second Part smaller. Please understand ...read more

    Jude continues his description of the false teachers using metaphors to describe them. This follow on from hidden reefs and we now have empty clouds without water, useless in promise and leaving bitter failure. Many people are left hurt, and without hope, and fleeced and betrayed.
