And That's Final -- Except For This One Last Thing... Series

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Aug 29, 2002

John gives a perfect ending in chapter 20, but then he goes and gives us chapter 21. After saying in chapter 20, "these things are written that you might believe, and in believing have life," what could possibly be important enough to add to that?

John 20:28-21:25 Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But ...read more

Falling Into Satan's Trap

Contributed by Rick Kallstrom on Jun 9, 2003

Paul’s time on earth was coming to an end. He had fought the good fight, finished the course, and kept the faith. Soon, Paul would be a victim of Nero’s chopping block. Now one of his closest disciples, Demas, has left him.

This morning I want to talk to you about falling into Satan’s Trap. As we examine our scripture this morning, we find that the Apostle Paul is writing his final letter to Timothy, his son in the Lord. Paul is writing to Timothy from his jail cell in Rome. I suspect that it is wintertime when ...read more

Burying The Bible Burner

Contributed by Guy Glass on Aug 27, 2004

Rise Up Its Time To Move

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Aug 3, 2006

God has been moving his bride forward since the day of Pentecost; there have been times of rest and times of moving forward. I believe that the trumpet has sounded! The time for camping has ended, its time to rise up and move forward.

Numbers 10:5 “When you sound the trumpet to move on, the tribes on the east side of the Tabernacle will break camp and move forward. 6 When you sound the trumpet a second time, the tribes on the south will follow. You must sound short blasts to signal moving on. I believe that the trumpet has ...read more

Being God's Church

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 21, 2007

As God’s Church we gather together to worship God as his people; to remember Jesus’ death on the cross on our behalf; to build one another up; to stir one another up to love and good works; and to encourage one another to persevere to the end.

What does it mean to be God’s Church? That is, God’s people, literally ’called out’ of the world. Why should we meet regularly with other believers in this place? What do we think we’re doing when we gather here Sunday after Sunday? Perhaps you’ve never really stopped to think about those sorts of ...read more
