    John 20

    I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES (JOHN 20:1-10) It’s been quite a while since MH 370 disappeared from thin air on March 8, 2014. Military radar tracking revealed that the Beijing-bound plane made a sharp turn over the South China Sea and changed altitude as it headed toward the Straits of Malacca. The ...read more

    There are two separate gates that lead to two separate ways, or roads. One way leads to blessing and the other way to difficulty. So, which way, or which road, leads to life and blessing? The correct way is Jesus (John 14:6).

    When I was in my twenties, I was an avid cave explorer. Now, I just watch caving videos on YouTube. It is interesting how spelunkers will naturally follow a large wide-open passage first. They will bypass numerous smaller ones, all because the larger one does not involve hunching over or ...read more

    It is perfectly clear that Jesus lay down His life voluntarily.

    I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD. John 10:11-21. In John 10 Jesus effectively castigated the Pharisees for their failures as the spiritual shepherds of Israel. The image was familiar in a pastoral society, and echoed the Old Testament (e.g. Jeremiah 23:1-4). JOHN 10:11. In the fourth “I am” saying of ...read more

    Expectation and palm branches.

    JESUS’ TRIUMPHANT ENTRANCE INTO JERUSALEM. John 12:12-19. First, in this short passage, we see the sense of expectation of the people of God (John 12:12). We read that “much people” who were come to the feast, “heard” that Jesus was coming to the City. And hearing, they acted on it. Second, ...read more

    That ye love one another as I have loved you. John 13.34.

    THE GLORIFICATION OF THE SON. John 13:31-38. JOHN 13:31-32. The inevitable process which would culminate in the self-sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf was reaching its climax. Jesus spoke of the reciprocal “glorification” of both “God” and “the Son of man.” In this we have the 'glory' of ...read more

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 3:13-14 - Message 8 – Praise The Lord – We Have Been Purchased From The Strong Prison Of The Enemy Called "Curse”. We Are Free! Series

    The curse of sin brought death but Jesus took our curse on the cross. We are redeemed and all the great promises of Abraham are given to us by faith. This is a lovely passage today, and it could be an Easter message as well. Christ died for our sins becoming the curse for us. Easter.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 3:13-14 - MESSAGE 8 – PRAISE THE LORD – WE HAVE BEEN PURCHASED FROM THE STRONG PRISON OF THE ENEMY CALLED “CURSE”. WE ARE FREE! I guess this is a good time to recap so far. Paul preached the gospel through Galatia and there were a lot of believers in a number of ...read more
