The Holy Spirit And The Bible

Contributed by Ted Sutherland on Dec 9, 2001

The Gospel of John, with its long intricate discourses, written by a very old man many years later, is an illustration of the Inspiration and Illumination of Scripture.

No More Sea

Contributed by Jerry Carr on May 5, 2001

A sermon describing why John on the Isle Of Patmos describing the new Heavens and New Earth said there was no more sea. Why No More Sea??

I believe to understand what John is talking about we need to lay a little ground work. You see when God created the Heavens and the Earth, He created a perfect place for man. We find when man willfully disobeyed God and ate of the forbidden tree in Gen. 3:1-21, that God placed a curse upon ...read more

Good News?

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

John wants to know whether Jesus is the Messiah, because it doesn’t seem that the gospel he’s proclaiming is good news. But it is!

I guess everyone has some idea what we mean when we talk about the gospel. But I wonder what your preferred translation of that word would be. Is Good News the correct translation do you think? Is the gospel necessarily good news? You may never have thought about that question, but if you do ...read more
