The New Testament writers open up the secret of the feasts and show is that they lay down a prophetic timeline of the person and work of Christ. Paul clearly states that the feasts were a shadow of things to come and the reality is found in Christ (Col 2:18-19). May our hearts stand in […]

Matt 28:19. Why do Christians get water baptised? What is the point and is it necessary for salvation? What is the meaning of Spiritual Baptism and when does that take place?

Zech 9:9. The “Triumphal Entry” of Jesus into Jerusalem, although accompanied with celebrations from his disciples, stood in the shadow of the cross.

Luke 17:11-19. Man has an “internal leprosy” called SIN which caused us to stand afar off from God. But then we cried out to Jesus and have been cleansed by forgiveness and saved by grace.

Luke 14:25-26. Jesus often seems to resist or push back when people would follow after Him. He lays out the price of discipleship and helps us count the cost.

Luke 2:8-20. One of the carols puts forth the all-important question “What Child is This?”. So many know the events of the Christmas story, without knowing the actual meaning. Who was born that day?
