Faith, The Key To Joy Pt 1: Them That Honour Me…
The consideration for this series is one where I fear many of our brethren seem to be struggling so greatly in these days. The struggle is with faith and with the KNOWLEDGE of how valuable each of them are to the kingdom of God and that, abiding in the kingdom, we are to live in a constitution that is diametrically opposed to that manner of living evident in the world. Those who honour me I will honour. (1 Sam 2:30) There…
The Devil Pt 1: His Beginning
The Devil His Beginning Reading: Ezekiel 28:11–15 Introduction As we move on through the wonderful doctrines of the word of God, having established now the base and foundation of all Scripture through first our acknowledgment of the Bible and its own nature (while not ignoring the efforts of corruption now current in all English versions but one), then moving toward the author himself, God the father, Jesus Christ (The Word Incarnate) and God the Holy Spirit.

The Apostasy Of The Last Days
The Apostasy of the Last Days (Hope Baptist Church) Reading: 2 Timothy 4:1-8 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Israel: A Promise Kept
What is the purpose of Prophecy?? “that ye may know” “ye may believe” When our Lord tarried at Jerusalem two more days after he was told that Lazarus was sick, Lazarus died. In John 11:11 Jesus then told his disciples the news saying; John 11:11–15 11… Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he…
Baptism: Someone Saved
Someone Saved We had six, or perhaps more individuals today who have chosen to brave the weather conditions and be Baptised. Six people who testify to the most dramatic transformation a person can ever have, to go from death to life.

It’s an expression that understands the just condemnation each…
