    The timing of Isaish's vision is significant in itself and the vision gives three messages to people: to appreciate the majesty of God, to repent and get right with Him, and then go out and witness to His love, mercy and forgiveness.

    Isaiah 6: 1- 8: Four messages. (the timing, ‘Lo’, ‘Woe’, ‘Go’) Not one word in the Bible should be taken for granted, so let’s begin by looking at the words “In the year that King Uzziah died”, because these are significant We can read about ...read more

    Where is a church supposed to get workers and what are they supposed to be doing?

    Matthew 9:9-13 There are two Biblical models that show where a church is to get workers. There is a model where churches send out workers to strengthen or to plant other churches.

    I sometimes feel so vulnerable to the attacks of Satan but Jesus says that NO ONE will be able to snatch Jesus’ sheep out of His hand. That is extremely comforting, especially when I’m at my lowest.

    So why is it so important that we have a book of the Bible named Ruth? Because of the redemption story. It parallels our own redemption story. Ruth was cursed as a Moabite. We are cursed as children of Adam.

    Why is it so important for us that we have a book of the Bible named Ruth? Why are the last verses of the book of Ruth almost the first ones opening the New Testament? The first three chapters of Ruth start to answer these questions, but chapter 4 gives us clarity on the reasons why. The Book of ...read more
