Continuing on the topic of image and likeness from previously, a sacrifice on the alter is not enough! On Mt. Sinai God prescribed to Moses and through him, to all of his people Israel, in great detail exactly how to make sacrifices so that they could be a people of God and come close to [...]

Here are some scripture we felt were strongly relevant to this topic, the Kingdom of God. We put them here for your reflection.
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the [...]

We said in the Coming Storm presentation that a new season was upon us and we talked about the fact that Jesus told us to be aware of the signs of the times. We said that the changes that were coming were not just financial and economical, but that these signs would be of every [...]

When Jesus came, He entered a highly religious society. This was not a time like the one where people half thought about God’s Law and spent most of their time visiting temples to other gods. This was a society who knew their theology better than anyone. They knew God’s ways better than He did!
They had [...]

Heaven is totally outside of our current understanding, how do we acquire this kingdom?
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3)
The poor are hungry. They are desperate. They beg. They plead. They want what you have. Jesus says that if you are poor in spirit, and thus desperately [...]

“To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.” (Revelation 1:6)
God intended a kingdom of priests. He intended Man to be His Sons [...]

“For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.”(Matthew 5:20)
Whatever happened to Grace? I thought the blood of Jesus covered all sins and all we had to do to get to Heaven was to accept the [...]

Scripture is very clear about what the nature of the good news is. We can look at the words of Christ or the early Apostles to see this. Even John the Baptist, who did not inherit, nor understand the kingdom, preached of its arrival through Jesus. However, because we’ve heard the wrong thing so often, [...]
