God Is Not Done With Israel Yet Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 19, 2025

This passage gives us insights into one key scene where we find that God isn't done with Israel yet.

One obvious one is the glory of God returning - it would be easy to write an inspiring sermon off that idea. - But there is another way to preach this passage and that is ...read more

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2024

Rather than saying that God became man, John tells us that THE WORD – in Greek, Logos – became FLESH. John starts his gospel by talking about ‘Logos’ – the word. John ...read more
