    Religious opposition to the Gospel!

    PERSECUTION: THE OPENING SALVOES. Acts 4:1-31; Acts 5:12-42. Soon after the early success of Pentecost, the fledgling New Testament church found herself facing persecution.

    If you have experienced the Father's Love in Christ at Christmas, this is not the end of all things but the beginning of everything: If anyone is in Christ, he is a new Creation.

    The Father’s Opened Gift 2 Corinthians 5:11-17 We have been looking at some of the gifts of the Almighty God in sending Jesus, the Messiah, the one-and-only-one-of-a-kind “Son of God”, anointed to come to earth in the Flesh to demonstrate the lavish Love of God in Christ’s ...read more

    A sermon for Baptism of the Lord Sunday.

    “Heaven Torn Open” Mark 1:4-11 Throughout the Old Testament, from the Fall in Genesis—forward—God is cloaked in mystery.

    I learned this meaning of Rev 5 and the seals when one of the leaders of “Intercessors for Africa” at the commencement of one of the conferences raised a prayer point from that scripture in the 90s.

    “But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Rev 5:5 in the name of Jesus the seals in your life shall be opened. I learned this meaning of ...read more

    Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost Extraordinary Form “Ephpheta, be thou opened,” Jesus said, after groaning, “and immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment to his speech was loosed, and he spoke clearly.” Come to any baptism–as we’ll have here on Saturday the eighteenth, and you’ll hear ...read more

    We’re all so different. We come from different backgrounds, different convictions. But when we all love each other and open arms to all kinds of people, that’s when the beauty of unity is seen. And God wants that here.

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 15. I am preaching through the book of Romans verse after verse. We are actually coming down to the last two chapters. Paul is trying to get very practical as he speaks to the church there in Rome. And you’ve got to remember, there are all different ...read more

    Thursday of the 1st Week in Advent Joy of the Gospel When I read this passage from the great prophet of Advent, the Hebrew priest Isaiah, my memory goes back almost ten years to our pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Both the Old and New Testaments contain a recurring theme, one we see most perfectly ...read more

    You must learn the language and literary method that the people in Jesus used if you truly want to understand the Scripture. Hillel's method of asking questions is the optimal way.

    Near Eastern people in Yeshua's (and later on) wrote in allegories, metaphors, and parables. Is this healing story real? In the minds of Near Eastern people, it does not matter. The lesson of the story is the key. The lesson is that everyone must open their eyes to reading the Torah and live ...read more

    It is God who sets things in motion, and God who opens hearts to the Gospel.

    THE ENCOUNTER OF OPENNESS AND TRUTH. Acts 16:9-15. It is a bit of a cliché, but ‘when God closes one door, He opens another’. This was certainly the experience of Paul and his companions: Silas (cf. Acts 15:40), Timothy (cf. Acts 16:1-3), and Luke (cf. Acts 16:10). We are not told how, ...read more
