The Apostles' Teaching Part 2
10 November, 2024

In the ongoing course of discovering the meaning of the name "Israel" we look at the birth of the twin brothers Esau and Jacob and what the Lord says to Rebekah concerning the two boys.
The Faith of Abraham
06 October, 2024

Nathanael, An Israelite Without Guile

The Great and Holy Nation
08 September, 2024
The Lord called Abram from his land, kindred, and father's house, promising, among other things, to make of him a great nation. We see how from this passage concerning God's call of Abram, and also from a passage where God instructs Moses, concerning…
Becoming Jesus' Disciple
25 August, 2024
In the gospels we read of how, with the utmost simplicity, Jesus called men to follow Him, and how in doing so the faithful disciple forsook all. In the process His disciples were deeply transformed in their lives. We also see in this message how…

The Introduction of Covenant

The Spirit of Truth
23 June, 2024
A key aspect of the expression of authority in the kingdom of God is the administration of truth by the Holy Spirit. We look at this in connection with the judgement of the Flood in the days of Noah. The Lord teaches us that the Father seeks those to…
Our Rewards
16 June, 2024
Understanding, as we do, that it is by grace, through faith, that we are saved, we do not often consider that paradoxically, that which we freely receive not only without any merit of our own, but having much demerit within ourselves, comes also with…
Taught of the Spirit
09 June, 2024
God is Spirit, said Jesus, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth. Throughout the history of the world God has sought the hearts of men and women by His Spirit. By the agency of whatever other means He uses - the scriptures…
His Fellowship With Our Sufferings
26 May, 2024
Faced with the necessity of the judgement of the Flood, God was sorry that He had created man upon the earth, and it grieved Him at his heart. This was not regret; neither was it an egoistic "Woe is me!"; nor was it a cosmic "Oops!" Knowing all that…
Family of God
19 May, 2024

Christ's Resurrection, So What Next?
28 April, 2024
Taking Paul's succinct presentation of the gospel in 1 Corinthians 15, Ken explores the significance of that in the lives of those who have surrendered to Jesus as Lord and Saviour. In a word, as it took place firstly with the disciples, and those…
Cain Reprobate; the Race Reprobate
21 April, 2024
Cain has been cursed by God. The race then degenerates into a condition of complete apostasy, but for eight people, and after the Flood is hell-bound again with Nimrod and Babel. God then divides it and puts a restraint upon its eventual complete…
