A New Covenant

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018

Before Jesus can bring about the New Covenant He must ride into Jerusalem as was prophesied by Zechariah. The Temple courts have become a market of greed and gain instead of a place of spiritual discourse. What has worship become in our day and age?

We are nearly there, nearly at Jesus Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, nearly seated at the Last Supper, nearly gathered in prayer at the Garden of Gethsemane. We are nearly at the time of Jesus ...read more

Heaven’s Definition Of Greatness

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 17, 2015

In Mark 10:35-45, Jesus once again told his disciples everything that would happen to him in Jerusalem-his trial, death, resurrection and ascension. James and John seized this opportunity to ask for the highest positions of honour in his kingdom-at the right and left hands of Jesus. They forgot ...read more
