Beast From The Land Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 3, 2017

If the second beast has the horns of a lamb, and he speaks like a dragon, the very voice of Satan is heard when he speaks. The mode of Satan’s language is the lie; he is the father of lies (John 8:44).

A Panic Postcard! Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Jan 21, 2013

2 John seems to have been written hurriedly to warn a woman of the danger of walking in love without also walking in truth and thus aiding and abetting those who taught error. This study looks at this little "postcard."

The Best Is Yet To Come!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 22, 2012

There are similarities between the start of John's gospel and Genesis, culminating with water into wine on the 7th day (see full text for explanation). I believe this miraculous sign reveals the glory of Jesus and says the best is yet to come.

Christ Church - the best is yet to come! John’s gospel focuses upon signs that pointed to, and revealed the identity and glory of Jesus (2:11); and towards the end of his gospel John states why he wrote his book: ‘Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, ...read more

The Perfume Of Grace

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 18, 2014

A perspective on John 12: 1-8. What happens at this evening meal is extraordinary. The perfume was worth a years salary, and Mary gave it freely and willingly to anoint the feet of Jesus. How will you respond to salvation, to the perfume of grace?

John 12: 1-8 The Perfume of Grace Past events can be re-called, remembered through the help of pictures, stories and even pleasant aromas. Toast reminds me of breakfast as its aroma fills the house and beckons me to have more. For some Jewish people the aroma of BBQ lamb contributes to remind ...read more

Do Not Let Your Heart Be Troubled

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Feb 9, 2015

Worry is dangerous. Worry can weaken your spirit, soul and body. John 10:10 tells us that the devil is out to destroy; this is his mission in life. Worry is a perfect tool for him to carry out this mission.

Behold The Lamb Of God Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 19, 2011

John the Baptist is a great model of Christian ministry - he's willing to direct people away from himself to Jesus. he wants the glory to go to Jesus not himself and points others to Jesus even at his own cost.

I like John the Baptist. He’s such a contrast to the dominant model of the celebrity today. I assume you’ve noticed how important the cult of the celebrity is today. When celebrities speak it’s all about them. It’s just assumed that everyone is interested in what ...read more
